Nashik Dams Overflowing, Easing Water Supply Fears
The Nashik district in India has a lot of water in its dams right now.
This is great news because it means there will be enough water for the city and the countryside.
The big dams are almost full, and the government has planned to use this water for the next year.
They even have a little extra compared to last year.
The water comes from three main dams: Gangapur, Mukne, and Darna.
The rain during the monsoon season filled up these dams.
The government is asking everyone to use water carefully and fix any leaks.
This way, there will be enough water for everyone until next summer.
Nashik dams are at high capacity: major dams 96.02%, medium 83.64%, minor 77.80%.
Municipal corporation sanctioned 6400 mcft water for 2025-26, 200 mcft more than last year.
Water supply planned from October 15, 2025 to July 31, 2026.
Good monsoon rainfall filled the dams, ensuring sufficient water for city and rural areas.
Water Resources Department appeals for judicious water use and stopping leakages.
