Across the state, so far 19 dams have zero water stock, including Khadakpurna and Pentakli (Buldhana); Gosikhurd (Bhandara); Dina (Gadchiroli); Bham and Punegaon (Nashik); Pimpalgaon, Ghod and Temghar (Pune); Bhima (Solapur); Kundali Tata and Lonavala Tata.

Mumbai:
With just 19.63 per cent water stock left in 3,267 dams across Maharashtra, industries may soon face partial cuts in supply, sources in the department of water resources said. Last year, water stock in the dams was recorded at 32.60 per cent around the same time.

Of the total 40,897.95 million cubic metres storage capacity, dams in the state currently have 8,029.59 million cubic metres of live storage.

According to sources in the department of water resources, while a blanket ban on water to industries was unlikely, the sector may face partial cuts soon. “The degree of supply cut to industries will be determined by circumstances and also the nature of the industry. An average water cut of up to 40 per cent cannot be ruled out,” an official, who did not wish to be named, told The Indian Express. In areas where live water storage in dams is below five per cent, supply to industries could be “temporarily suspended” in May, the official added.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, sources said, has already issued standing orders to all district collectors to ensure that highest priority is accorded to making drinking water and fodder available. The government, they said, has also issued guidelines mandating that dam and reservoir water be first supplied for drinking purposes, followed by agriculture and finally for industries.
