Answers
Answer:
With the increase in the capacity of Barvi dam, Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) along with other municipal corporations and councils in the district wants more water supply for the cities.
The water from Barvi dam is supplied to Thane, Kalyan-Dombivli, Ulhasnagar, Mira- Bhayander, Bhiwandi and Navi Mumbai.
In a meeting on Friday, it was decided that water will be distributed proportional to the population of each of the cities.
The water capacity of Barvi was 178mcm till 2016.
The irrigation department increased the dam’s height in 2016 and increased the capacity to 234mcm.
It also has plans to increase the capacity to 340 mcm, when the rehabilitation issue of the people near the dam is resolved.
Sandeep Malvi, deputy municipal commissioner of TMC, said, “The population of the district has increased and so has its water requirement. The state has increased the capacity of Baravi dam. It was decided that the increased water stock should be given to all municipal corporations and councils depending on their population.”
