KDMC eyes own dam to secure water supply
The Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation is advancing plans for a new dam aimed at addressing the city's escalating water requirements. With a targeted capacity of 550 million litres daily, officials are scouting locations that minimize land acquisition challenges. However, funding remains a hurdle, with costs projected to range from Rs 4,000 crore to Rs 5,000 crore. Given the current water shortages, this project is deemed essential for the city's sustainable growth.
