Pawana Dam Nears Full Capacity

Pawana Dam Nears Full Capacity

The Pawana Dam, which supplies water to Pimpri-Chinchwad, has almost reached full capacity with 92.27% storage.

This is great news because earlier this year, the dam had very low water levels, and the city had to reduce water supply.

Now, with more rain, the water levels have gone up.

However, officials are still being careful and keeping some water restrictions in place.

They want to make sure there's enough water for everyone, especially as the city's population is expected to grow a lot in the coming years.

The city is also planning new projects to manage water better in the future.
