Dholawad Dam Water Reserved for Ratlam Drinking Supply

Dholawad Dam supplies drinking water to Ratlam city.

The dam is less than half full because the area received much less rain than usual.

Officials are worried that there may not be enough water for people in the coming months.

They have decided not to use the dam’s water for growing wheat.

Farmers are being encouraged to grow gram and other crops that need less water.

The rainy season is almost over, so the dam may not fill much more.

Officials will act against people who take water without permission.

Pumps and irrigation equipment found near the dam may be seized.

The main goal is to save water for drinking.
