Ujjain: After heavy rainfall in the catchment areas of the Gambhir Dam, the main water source of the city, the water level of the dam has increased significantly. This has caused an influx of so much water that it can supply the city for the next 155 days.
The past two days of rainfall, both in the city and surrounding areas, have caused the dam's water level to start rising since Friday. By 8 am on Saturday, 1087 Mc Ft of water had been accumulated in the dam, making it half full. The water holding capacity of the dam is 2250 Mc Ft, so it was previously being supplied to the city at an interval of one day.
The citizens of Ujjain now have hope for a daily water supply, thanks to the plentiful water in the dam. Prakash Sharma, the in-charge of the Ujjain Municipal Corporation's Water Works Committee, commented on the situation, saying, ‘We have been blessed by Lord Mahakaleshwar and Lord Indra.' A proposal for daily water supply in the city has been placed in the MiC, and a decision is expected to be made soon.
