Continuous monsoon showers have significantly improved water storage levels across Goa’s major reservoirs, with several dams recording a steady rise in capacity following sustained rainfall over the past few days.
According to the latest data, the Selaulim Dam has reached 31.4 per cent of its total storage capacity, holding 7,359 hectare-metres (Ha.m) of water after receiving 580.25 mm of rainfall.

The Tillari Dam is currently at 28.8 per cent capacity with a storage of 13,301.6 Ha.m. The reservoir has received 505.60 mm of rainfall and is releasing 4.32 cumecs of water.
Among the state’s reservoirs, Amthane and Gaunem have recorded some of the highest storage levels, standing at 55.9 per cent and 55.4 per cent of their capacities, respectively. Chapoli has also reached 48 per cent capacity, while Panchwadi stands at 23.5 per cent.
Despite receiving the highest rainfall of 683.20 mm, the Anjunem Dam remains the least-filled reservoir, with water storage at just 11 per cent of its total capacity.
The rising reservoir levels are expected to strengthen Goa’s water reserves as the southwest monsoon continues to bring widespread rainfall across the state.
