After a worse monsoon in
2009, the Pune Municipal Organization had planned to have a backup plan that might come handy if the monsoon
failed or was postponed.
Annually considering that,
the social system has talked about the plan and other options at the beginning
of the stormy season, but taken them apart when a good monsoon when the reservoirs of its ravage are full,
like in the present season, follows.
The plan is a complete must
now because 22 of the 32 big towns in India face water issues with some battling
with just 60% of their daily necessity. Although Pune has sufficient water for
now, worse monsoon years in series and an growing town can create whatever is accessible
now a shortage, specialist said.
"As of now, there is
enough water in the dams. It will suffice till the next monsoon. However, in
the long term, the city does need a contingency plan. The plan announced in
2009 remains on paper," said a civic official.
Major Gen (retd) SCN Jatar of
Nagrik Chetana Manch said the civic body is not serious about planning for
water supply. "The civic body is not at all prepared to tackle a major
water crisis and every year after a good monsoon, the civic body postpones its
contingency plan. Only after a major crisis will the PMC wake up," he
added.
Established data show that
the town gets sufficient water. But a lot is dropped in travelling from Khadakwasla,
making the genuine accessibility much low and what is accessible is erratically
allocated.
