Correct option is (a) True

To elaborate: When floods occur the reservoir gets filled and discharges through sluiceways and the water level goes on rising until the flood has subsided. The inflow becomes equal or less than the outflow. The water gets completely withdrawn until the stored water is completely discharged.
