PANAJI: Water storage in Goa’s key dams is currently at moderate levels, with authorities maintaining close watch on reservoir conditions as the state moves closer to the monsoon season.
The Selaulim Dam, the largest drinking water source in Goa, is presently holding roughly one-third of its total capacity. Officials said the reservoir is at about 31 per cent storage, with the water level standing below its full capacity mark, though controlled outflow is being maintained as part of routine management.
Other major reservoirs in the state are showing differing levels of storage. Tillari Dam has comparatively higher reserves at over one-third capacity, while Anjunem Dam is reported to have relatively low storage levels. Smaller reservoirs including Chapoli, Amthane, Panchawadi and Gaunem are also reflecting a mix of moderate to lower water availability.
Water Resources Department officials have assured that the current storage situation is sufficient to meet immediate drinking water requirements across the state. However, they noted that continuous monitoring is being carried out to track inflows, especially as rainfall activity is expected to increase in the coming weeks.
Authorities are also preparing for improved reservoir recharge with the onset of the southwest monsoon, which is expected to gradually boost water levels across Goa’s dam network.
