Nashik Dams Near Capacity as Discharges Increase Amid Continued Rainfall
Nashik's major and medium dams have reached approximately 83% of their usable water capacity, with several reservoirs like Bhavli, Valdevi, and Haranbari at full capacity. Large-scale water discharge is underway, including 8,160 cusecs from Gangapur Dam due to continued rainfall in its catchment area. High water levels have caused localized flooding near Godaghat and Ramkund, prompting security measures. The Meteorological Department forecasts moderate to heavy rain over the next few days, and authorities have issued alerts and advised public caution near water bodies.
