Morbe Dam Holds Sufficient Water Storage To Last 5 Months

Despite the temporary disruption, there is no cause for concern regarding the overall water supply situation in the city. The Morbe Dam, which serves as the primary water source for Navi Mumbai, currently holds ample reserves. As per reports on April 2, the dam had sufficient water, about 102 Million Cubic Meters (MCM), which can comfortably meet the city’s needs for approximately 149 days. This supply is expected to last even if the monsoon is delayed, offering reassurance to residents.

The Morbe Dam, located in Khalapur Taluka, supplies water continuously to the city under the management of the municipal corporation. However, authorities stressed the importance of water conservation despite adequate reserves.

Navi Mumbai’s water supply remains secured! Thanks to sufficient reserves in Morbe Dam, residents won’t face any shortages even if the monsoon is delayed. However, responsible water usage is essential, let’s save every drop!

Municipal Commissioner Dr Kailas Shinde urged citizens to adopt responsible water usage habits. He specifically requested that residents avoid using water hoses for cleaning society premises or washing vehicles and ensure that potable water is not wasted.

Dr Shinde also reminded residents to check for leaking taps and ensure they are turned off properly when not in use. Although the dam’s total storage capacity is 190 MCM, the current level of 102 MCM is adequate for now, but only if used wisely.
