The storage data of dams and reservoirs under the Kerala Irrigation Department for 2024 and 2025 shows notable variations in water accumulation during the monsoon season. In 2024, the storage at the beginning of the monsoon was 494.1 million cubic meters, which increased to 1,129 million cubic meters by the end of the season, indicating a substantial monsoon contribution of 634.5 million cubic meters. In 2025, the initial storage was higher at 735.58 million cubic meters, and the end-of-monsoon storage reached 1,193.83 million cubic meters, resulting in an increase of 458.25 million cubic meters. While 2025 started with more water in the reservoirs, the monsoon contribution was comparatively lower than in 2024, suggesting variations in rainfall distribution and reservoir inflow patterns. Overall, the data reflects the critical role of the monsoon in replenishing Kerala’s irrigation reservoirs and maintaining water availability for agriculture and other uses.
