Notes

The table retains the source’s published periods. Missing observations are not zero and have not been interpolated.

One bulletin per month, using the latest official observation found for that month. The monitored reservoir set expands over time, so storage volume and capacity share should be read together.

Publication cadence: Weekly bulletins, retained monthly observations. Missing observations are not zero.
