While Darna dam is 96 per cent full 20 reservoirs in the district have 90 per cent stock thanks to good amount of rains in their catchment areas, officials said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, medium-capacity Manikpunj and Nagasakya dams are still dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials said intensity of rains in the north Maharashtra district is reduced significantly in the last fortnight except in Igatpuri taluka, which has recorded 24 mm rainfall in the last 24 hours ending Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some 14 talukas in the district have received scanty rainfall so far, they said while indicating uneven rain pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nashik district had received heavy rains in the last week of July, triggering floods in many areas and boosting water stock in dams and reservoirs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Built on River Godavari, Gangapur Dam is a prominent tourist attraction where visitors can soak in natural beauty. The dam is visited by tourists who seek to spend a few hours amid calm waters in a photogenic environment. Gaze out at the vast expanse of blue, flanked by mossy green rocks. The place is quite beautiful and peaceful, allowing you to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and just enjoy the serenity that it has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Gangapur was an important water source for the nearby villages, growing silt deposits in the reservoir have reduced its storage capacity, prompting the construction of another dam upstream. Therefore, Gangapur is now primarily promoted as a pleasant stopover for tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nashik: Gangapur dam that proides\nmaximum quota of the drinking water to the Nashik city had 99% live storage on\nMonday, providing some relief to the residents given the civic body had earlier\nin July suggested water cuts owing to poor rainfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ynorme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/gangapur-dam.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ynorme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/gangapur-dam.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.ynorme.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/gangapur-dam-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gangapur dam complex that\ncomprises Gangapur,Kashyap and Gautami-Godavari dams, has 90% water storage.\nKashyapi dam that belongs to exclusively to Nashik Municipal Corporation ( NMC)\nhas 71% live storge which is way too low when compared to the corresponding\nperiod last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rainfall in Trimbakeshwar taluka has\nnot been that effective this year since beginning. \u201c In fact the entire wastern\nregion of Nashik which is known for heavy rainfull and has highest number of\ndams has received comparatively less rainfall this year,\u201d resident deputy\ncollector Bhagwat Doifode said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the reason that the dams took\nlonger time to reach satisfactory levels.
