Pune Dams Water Storage Update: Reservoirs at 17.47% Capacity Despite Steady Rainfall

Pune, 5th July 2026: The four dams that supply drinking water to Pune city continue to receive steady inflows due to ongoing monsoon rainfall. However, the overall water storage remains significantly lower than the same period last year.

As of 6 am on Sunday, the combined live storage in the Khadakwasla dam complex stood at 5.09 TMC, which is 17.47% of the total storage capacity. During the corresponding period last year, the reservoirs held 17.67 TMC, or 60.62% of their capacity.

The four reservoirs received a combined inflow of 704 mcft over the past 24 hours.

Among the reservoirs, Panshet received 72 mm of rainfall and recorded the highest storage at 2.45 TMC (22.99%), followed by Warasgaon with 68 mm rainfall and a storage of 2.26 TMC (17.66%). Khadakwasla received 24 mm of rainfall and currently holds 0.30 TMC (14.97%), while Temghar recorded the highest rainfall of 115 mm but has accumulated only 0.09 TMC (2.31%) due to its relatively low storage level.

Although rainfall activity has intensified over the catchment areas, water storage in the dam system remains well below last year’s level, and authorities will continue monitoring monsoon inflows in the coming weeks.
