First time in season, heavy rain in Pune prompts water discharge from Khadakwasla

Hindustan Times  

With the catchment areas of dams in Pune receiving heavy rainfall, the stock in all four dams which provide water to Pune city has increased significantly in the last 48 hours. So much so that for the first time this monsoon, the irrigation department has released water from the Khadakwasla Dam into the Mutha River after the former’s stock reached 95% on Wednesday. Following heavy rains, the release capacity from Khadakwasla dam increased to 11,556 cusecs on 11.30 pm. As per irrigation department data, the water release started at around 3.30 am on July 24 due to heavy rainfall and increased inflow in the dam. The department is constantly observing rainfall activity and the water level in dams and decisions will be taken accordingly from time to time as per standard procedure, said Shweta Kurde, executive engineer, Khadakwasla dam cluster.
