Municipalities Implement Water Conservation Measures Amid Rainfall Deficit Concerns
Municipal bodies in Pimpri-Chinchwad, Navi Mumbai, and Nagpur are addressing water scarcity through varied measures amid concerns over rainfall deficits linked to El Niño. Pimpri-Chinchwad has implemented a 10% water cut and mandated use of treated water for non-drinking purposes, while Navi Mumbai housing societies are adopting borewell water and urging conservation as Morbe dam storage drops. Nagpur has opted against water cuts, focusing instead on reducing distribution losses and illegal usage to maintain supply without rationing.
