Abstract The engineered channels that carry water from large dams and rivers to agricultural fields, known as irrigation canals, are the link between source (lakes and reservoirs) and sink (farmlands). These canals make cultivation of crops possible across millions of hectares of...

Reconstructing Long‐Term Reservoir Storage in India Using Hydrological Modeling and Machine Learning

Abstract India has one of the largest networks of large dams in the world, where reservoirs play a crucial role in regulating monsoon‐driven water availability for irrigation, hydropower, flood control, and water supply. However, long‐term daily reservoir storage observations are...
