Water level in dams improves, but remains lower than last yr

Thus Pawana, the dam which supplies water to Pimpri-Chinchwad is now filled to 49.97 per cent of its capacity, which last year on the same day stood at 64.89 per cent.

Similarly, Khadakwasla (64.10/95.73) per cent, Panset (55.6372.12), Warasgaon (51.64/66.38), and Temghar (35.31/576.48) per cent have all reported lower water levels as compared with last year.
These four reservoirs supply water to Pune city.

Maharashtra, as of Sunday, has reported 5 per cent excess rainfall, with the state reporting 468.80 mm of rain as against the normal 464.40 mm.

Similarly, Pune district has received 370.7 mm rain as against the normal 408.70 mm. A revival of monsoon in the third week of June has brought rain across the country and the state. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has talked about multiple significant weather features which has led to the current phase of rainfall.

The cyclonic circulation over southwest Madhya Pradesh and adjoining Rajasthan and Gujarat now hovers over central Madhya Pradesh, with a cyclonic circulation over Vidharbha merging with it. Another cyclonic circulation over west central and north west Bay of Bengal now lies over Odisha.
A western disturbance has moved east and north eastwards. A cyclonic circulation is expected to form over the Bay of Bengal early next week.

IMD has warned of heavy to very heavy rainfall over Madhya Maharashtra, Konkan, and Goa. While Pune city will get moderate to light rainfall, the Ghat areas around the city can expect heavy to very heavy rainfall.

IMD has warned people against venturing out in those areas. The heavy rain will help improve dam water levels in the weeks to come.
