Methodology & Sourcing

Source: data.gov.in (CWC)
Granularity: state
Unit: BCM
Update cadence: Refreshed daily by an automated ingest (/india/api/ingest/water-resources), but the upstream resource is a fixed snapshot dated 20 July 2023 — the daily re-fetch does not create newer history than the source publishes.

Known caveats

Live storage capacity at Full Reservoir Level for 146 named reservoirs, not a live current fill level — india-wris.gov.in itself has no public API (see find-api/INDIAN_API_PLATFORMS.md), so this design-capacity figure from the Central Water Commission is shown instead.
Two reservoirs shared by two states are left out of every state total, because the source lists one combined figure for both states with no state-level split.

This is built storage capacity, not a current fill level — a state total can rise only when new reservoirs are built or the source revises its figures, so it is shown for reference, not judged.
