Pune water supply cut by 20% from Khadakwasla dam

Pune's municipal administration has ordered a 20 percent reduction in water supply across areas receiving water from the Khadakwasla dam. The cut comes as the city faces water availability challenges from the key reservoir that supplies a significant portion of Pune's drinking water.

The reduction will affect multiple zones across the city that depend on Khadakwasla dam as their primary water source. Authorities have not yet announced the duration of the cuts or the exact timeline for implementation.

This measure reflects ongoing water stress in the region and follows the typical practice of rationing supply during periods of low water availability in reservoirs during the summer season.
