Pune's Water Woes End? Mulshi Dam to Supply 7 TMC, Major Relief Ahead

• Water Resources Dept. gives preliminary approval for 7 TMC water from Mulshi Dam to Pune.
• Pune faces a 6 TMC deficit, currently receiving 14 TMC against a 20 TMC annual need.
• Deputy CM Ajit Pawar's follow-up led to this decision; Chief Engineer Hanumant Dhumal gave technical approval.
• 7 TMC can be diverted from Mulshi without impacting Tata Hydro Power Company's electricity generation.
• Two delivery options: direct pipeline by PMC/PCMC/PMRDA or a 30 km tunnel to Khadakwasla Dam.

Why It Matters: Pune's long-standing water deficit to be resolved with 7 TMC supply from Mulshi Dam.
