Pune Reservoirs Run Dry, No Rains In Sight

PUNE, INDIA - JUNE 18: The water level of Khadakwasla Dam has gone down, on June 18, 2019 in Pune, India. Delayed rains and scanty pre-monsoon showers have led to drying up of dams providing water to Pune, painting a grim picture for the city. As on Tuesday, the cumulative stock in four dams which provide water to the city Khadakwasla, Panshet, Temghar and Varasgaon stands at 2.72 TMC (thousand million cubic feet). Last year during the same period, the water level in the four dams was 3.07 TMC. Last year, monsoon had arrived by this time of the month, however, this year; no rain is compounding the severe water crisis, according to the state irrigation department.
