Gujarat Dams and Maharashtra Water Levels Rise

Recent rainfall across India has significantly improved water levels in several major dams, with Gujarat's Sardar Sarovar Dam at 85.36% capacity and Ukai Dam at 77.52%. In Patna, 76 schools will remain closed until August 31 due to rising Ganga river levels, which have impacted local safety following a tragic incident involving a teacher. Meanwhile, the Godavari river's water level in Nashik has receded after heavy rains, although an orange alert remains in effect for upcoming weather. In Maharashtra, the Jayakwadi dam has reached 64.3% capacity, ensuring sufficient water for irrigation and drinking in the Marathwada region. The dam's current stock is 10% higher than last year, alleviating the need for upstream water releases. Overall, the situation reflects a mixed but generally improving outlook for water management in these regions.
