Ajmer to Release Water From Anasagar Lake Before Monsoon
The local government in Ajmer is getting ready for the rainy season.
They're going to let out some water from Anasagar Lake.
This is because last year the lake got too full and caused flooding.
Releasing water now is like making space in a bathtub before you turn on the shower.
They're telling people who live downstream to be careful, and they'll have people watching the lake during the rains to make sure everything stays safe.
This helps prevent the same flooding problems from happening again.
The water flows out of the lake into different channels and eventually into another lake, so it's important to manage the water levels carefully.
The district administration in Ajmer plans to release three feet of water from Anasagar Lake.
The decision aims to prevent flooding before the pre-monsoon showers arrive.
The gates of Anasagar Lake will open on Friday at 10 am.
Last year, the lake overflowed, causing a flood-like situation in Ajmer.
Authorities will raise awareness and issue alerts to downstream colonies.
