In a cabinet meeting today, Vaghani provided insights on several discussions, including a review by the Chief Minister of the state’s reservoir water levels ahead of the summer season to guarantee sufficient supply for both drinking and irrigation.
According to Vaghani, favorable rainfall during this year’s monsoon has considerably bolstered water storage across the main reservoirs in the state.
The current total water availability is 6.46 lakh MCFT, representing over 72 percent of its capacity.
“This marks a 4.15 percent increase compared to last year, ensuring ample water for both residents and farmers throughout the summer months,” Vaghani concluded.
