Almost 40 days into the monsoon season, three of the eleven major dams in the Marathwada region continue to report zero per cent water storage due to the lack of rainfall in catchment areas, according to a recent report from the divisional commissioner`s office.
According to the PTI report, the official report from the divisional commissioner`s office said the three projects facing critical shortages are Majalgaon and Manjara (Beed) and Sina Kolegaon (Dharashiv). Last year on the same date, these dams recorded water storage levels of 16.28 per cent, 3.24 per cent, and -14.45 per cent, respectively.
