Full catering dam for pune, water discharge starts

Pune: Four reservoirs in the Khadakwasla irrigation circle, which supplied water to the city, filled with capacity on Monday.
This – and continuous rainfall in reservoir reservations – encourage the state irrigation department to release water from the four dam on Monday.
The release level, however, is moderate at 6,000 cusecs.
This is the first time this rainy season that collective storage in four reservoirs – Khadakwasla, Panghet, Varasgaon and Tighar – touched 100%, officials said.
Stock in Bhama asked, which can save up to 7.43 thousand million cubic feet (TMC) water, reaching 98%.
Pavana’s reservoir, who supplies Chinchwad’s Pimpri, is also full on Monday, like nine reservoirs in Bhima Basin.
Towards Monday afternoon, the water thrown away from Khadakwasla fell to 3,000 cusecs.
It returns to more than 5,000 cusecs at night and 10,000 cusecs at night.
The irrigation department released water at 4,300 cusecs from Pavana and 1,000 cusecs from Mulshi (94% full).
Popatrao Shelar, Deputy Engineer with the Irrigation Department, said the water discharge rate will increase if rainfall increases.
“We maintain debit rate at 6,000 cusecs on Sundays and Mondays,” he said.
Until Monday night, Tanghar received more than 45mm rainfall, while Panghet and Varasgaon each got 27mm.
Khadakwasla recorded 11mm rainfall, Pavana received 34mm and Mulshi got 23mm.
Local administration has been warned about the possibility of increasing water discharge and told to take adequate prevention measures.
