Pavana dam is the only source of water for the twin town population. Though the dam was filled to its capacity last year, delay in rainfall had steered a cause of worry. However, good rainfall in August, 2012, made up for the loss, but only for the time being. Water levels in Pavana dam is decreasing with every passing day and the storage reduced to mere 40% of the total capacity.
Though the dam is filled to 40% of its capacity, the water stock will suffice only for three months. Moreover, there is apprehension that migration of people from the drought-affected areas will add to twin town’s population towards the end of April. This will affect the water distribution system.
