Nashik Dams Reach 82% Storage, Water Releases Begin

Nashik district has 22 big dams that hold water for the city and farms.

Right now, most of those dams are almost full, with an average of 82% of their capacity.

Because the dams are so full, the local government is slowly letting water out to keep them from overflowing.

They are releasing water from the Gangapur, Darna, and Nandur‑Madhyameshwar dams.

The rainy season has been very good, giving the district almost all of the rain it usually gets.

This helps make sure people will have enough water in the coming months.

The government is telling people to stay away from riverbanks while water is being released.
