Gangapur Dam 88.67% Full as Nashik District Storage Crosses 92%
Every year, when it rains a lot, big walls called dams fill up with water.
This saved water ensures people can use it later.
Nashik is a city that gets its drinking water from a dam called Gangapur.
Right now, Gangapur Dam is almost 89% full, which means it holds a huge amount of water.
Other dams near Nashik are storing even more water, and together the district's 26 big dams are more than 92% full.
Some dams, like Alandi, are completely full to the top.
This is great news because it means there will be enough water for drinking and daily use in the coming months.
The people in charge are watching the dams closely to keep the water supply secure.
