Navi Mumbai: The Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) has reportedly announced water supply reduction from Ransai Dam in Uran area twice a week. This reduction in water supply comes due to a decrease in the water level of the Ransai Dam.
According to the Loksatta report, as the water storage capacity of the Ransai Dam is low, lakhs of litres of water was wasted during the monsoon season.
When will the residents of Uran Face a Water Supply Shortage?
According to the report, every Tuesday and Friday, the residents will face a reduction in water supply. This move by the MIDC comes as Uran is currently short of nearly 10 million litres of water per day.
The region requires around 41 million litres daily, however, MIDC is able to supply only 30 million litres, the report stated. In order to ensure that water is available till June 2026, authorities have implemented a scheduled reduction in supply as a conservation measure.
