Nashik: Major Reservoirs Near Full Capacity After Heavy Rainfall, Controlled Water Releases Underway

Gangapur Dam crossed 95% storage capacity after heavy rainfall in Nashik district.

Controlled water releases from Gangapur Dam reached outflow of up to 19,000 cusecs.

Godavari River water level rose above the danger mark due to increased discharge.

Residents along riverbanks were advised to remain alert as rainfall continues in catchment areas.

Increased reservoir storage eased drinking water concerns and boosted irrigation prospects for Kharif and Rabi seasons.
