The water level has dropped at Pench and Kanhan river project. Both projects are very important as Nagpur city gets maximum water supply from these reservoirs, but since last few days the situation in the city regarding the low water supply has came to an alarming stage.
Most districts of the state are facing drought and there is a possibility, Nagpur will soon be facing the same problem. Though the city is having continuous water supply, there is only much left to survive next one month. As per the speculations the city will be facing water scarcity after June 10.
