Chennai also known as Madras is the capital of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Located on the Coromandel Coast off the Bay of Bengal, it is the biggest cultural, economic and educational centre of south India. Being my second home, the city is facing an acute water shortage now (June 2019). Chennai is entirely dependent on ground water resources to meet its water needs. There are four reservoirs in the city, namely, Red Hills, Cholavaram, Poondi and Chembarambakkam, with a combined capacity of 11,057 mcft. These are the major sources of fresh water for the city. Apart from the reservoirs, the other sources of fresh water water are desalination plants at Nemelli and Minjur; aquifers in Neyveli, Minjur and Panchetty; Cauvery water from Veeranam lake; Here is an attempt to put together a dataset that has the information about the various water sources available in the city. Content This dataset has details about the water availability in the four main reservoirs over the last 15 years Poondi Cholavaram Redhills Chembarambakkam The data is available on a daily basis and the unit is million cubic feet. I am planning to add other data like water availability from Veeranam lake, rainfall levels etc. DateDate POONDIWater level in mcft in Poondi reservoir CHOLAVARAMWater level in mcft in Cholavaram reservoir REDHILLSWater level in mcft in Redhills reservoir CHEMBARAMBAKKAMWater level in mcft in Chembarambakkam reservoir
