Pune Water Cuts End as Khadakwasla Dams Reach Full Capacity
Pune Gets Relief As Water Cuts End; Khadakwasla Dams Reach Full Capacity · freepressjournal.in

Pune is a big city in India that gets its drinking water from four dams near the hills.

Earlier, the dams did not have enough water because the rains were weak.

So the city made people get water only on some days instead of every day.

Then in July, it rained a lot and the dams filled all the way up.

Now all four dams are completely full of water.

A city leader named Naval Kishore Ram said the water-cut rule is over forever.

People in Pune can get water every day again.

Other dams near Pune are almost full too.

The weather experts say more rain is coming, so people should be careful near the Mutha river.

This is happy news for everyone in Pune.
