The water level in the three reservoirs of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh is higher as compared to the last year and this could mean more power would be available from the Bhakra power house and Ranjit Sagar Dam project during the paddy season, which starts in June.
On Saturday, the Bhakra Dam reservoir’s water level was 1,579.68 ft, nine feet higher than the last year’s level of 1570.38 ft at the same time. The level in Ranjit Sagar Dam was 1,677.3 ft, six feet higher than 1,671.3 feet, the level during the corresponding period last year.
