This significant accumulation marks a promising development for the region’s water supply.
Among the four dams, Khadakwasla Dam has reached full capacity, holding 1.97 TMC, signifying a remarkable milestone in the water management efforts. Comparing the data to last year’s statistics for the same date, it is evident that there has been a notable increase in the reservoir levels.
