Pune Dam Water Levels at 94.53% Capacity as of 22 September 2026
IN · Published Sep 22, 2026
The water storage levels in Pune's major dams, including Khadakwasla, Panshet, Varasgaon, Temghar, and Pavana, have reached 94.53% of their designed live capacity as of 22 September
This equates to 10,39,790 million litres (ML) out of a total capacity of 10,99,980 ML. Notably, Panshet, Varasgaon, and Temghar dams are at 100% capacity, while Pavana is also full at 100%. However, Khadakwasla is at 51.99% capacity, a significant drop compared to 97.87% on the same day last year. The data has been sourced from the Maharashtra Water Resources Department (WRD).

Impact & Risks

The high water levels in most of Pune's dams indicate sufficient water availability for the region, including Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad. However, the reduced capacity in Khadakwasla dam compared to last year may require careful monitoring to ensure adequate water supply. Additionally, the full capacity of other dams raises the potential risk of overflow or controlled releases, which could impact downstream areas if heavy rainfall occurs.
