Pune Reservoirs Near Capacity; PMC Rules Out Immediate Water Cuts Amid Monsoon Rains
Pune's water reservoirs have significantly improved, with storage levels nearing or exceeding 50% across six major dams supplying the city. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has ruled out immediate water cuts, citing sufficient water to meet demand and ongoing monitoring of dam levels and distribution. Recent heavy monsoon rains have increased inflows, raising total storage close to the city's annual requirement. Authorities have cautioned residents about potential water releases from Khadakwasla dam and advised against entering downstream river areas for safety.
