The district administration in Nanded district was directed to prepare a comprehensive plan for drinking water supply until August 31, 2027, due to prevailing drought conditions and potential water scarcity. Officials reported that the district’s 104 water projects currently hold a combined storage level of 68%. Authorities were also instructed to ensure a minimum 10% emergency buffer is maintained in every major reservoir.
