Water level in India's main reservoirs in the week to June 24 remained at the previous week's level of 12 percent but it was 3 percent higher than a year ago, government data showed.
Water levels in 81 main reservoirs did not rise as the monsoon rains, vital to the trillion-dollar economy, were 21 percent below normal in the week to June 23.
More water in reservoirs will boost supply of hydropower, which accounts for a quarter of India's total generation capacity, and help irrigate crops even after the monsoon season.
