    The authorities should look into development of new dams like the ones in savgaon, Khadarwadi n make it bigger. These two dams will help in supply of water in summer too. Even rakaskop dam should be made bigger n proper cleaning should take place as you always see that the rakaskop dam gets filled with water very quickly when it rains. There should also be reservoirs created around kakti or uchgaon thinking from the future aspects of the city.

    We needs to upgrade the DAM at the same time by increase the height of it
    or
    Plan to create one more dam at the next flow level
    or
    Create small check dams where ever possible.

    Our city is seeing huge population growth at the same time we need to plan for more water storage

    Construct news small dams, we are not expecting big dams.
    Small dams matter a lot.
