Islamic Interpretation
In a dream, the level of water in a reservoir or artificial lake represents divine mercy, blessings, rainfall, festivities, celebrations, marriage, the season of pilgrimage, a fruitful harvest, or the residence of a governor. Seeing the city’s reservoir full signifies good news and prosperity. If the water level appears low, and the shore is covered with crusts, mold, decay, and emits a foul smell, it indicates drought and hardships. A reservoir also symbolizes its governor, and whatever condition it shows in the dream—good or bad—will be reflected in his conduct and administration. All instruments used to measure water levels carry the same interpretation. (Also see Water)
