Ajwa Sarovar Water Level: Relief news has recently come out for Ajwa Lake, the main source of drinking water for Vadodara city. The alarming drop in water level due to lack of Meghraja in June has now stopped with the arrival of Narmada Neer. The level of the lake has increased from 205 feet to 207 feet now due to the release of water from the Narmada Canal.

Ajwa Sarovar reached historic low level

This year, the water income in the reservoirs of Vadodara district was negligible due to non-meghmaher at the initial stage of monsoon. Due to this situation, the water level in Jivadori Sama Lake in the eastern area of ​​the city has dropped to 205 feet for the first time since 2018. Due to this condition of the lake, it was feared that there would be a serious drinking water crisis in the near future, due to which the system of Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) was also worried.

300 MLD water revenue

Considering the gravity of the situation, immediate action was taken by the Vadodara Municipal Corporation. The administration took an important decision to purchase water from Narmada in consultation with Sardar Sarovar Narmada Corporation. As an implementation of this decision, the process of releasing water from Narmada Canal to Ajwa Lake was started from last June 20. As per the plan, approximately 300 MLD of water will be pumped into the lake daily for the next one month.

Laugh at the system

Due to continuous inflow of water from Narmada, the level of Ajawa lake has improved significantly. The clouds of water crisis have dissipated as the water level, which has fallen to 205 feet, has risen to 207 feet. The authorities and the system of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation have felt happy with the news of this relief.

At present, the system is equipped to meet the water demand of the city based on the Narmada Neer. Now the residents of Vadodara are eagerly waiting for Meghraja’s rains, so that the lake is filled to its full capacity and there is no drinking water problem for the next year.
