What happened
Nagpur is facing acute water scarcity, prompting the consideration of Gorewada Lake as a potential backup source of drinking water. Despite this need, sewage continues to flow into the lake. The Water Resources Department reported that the combined live storage of five key reservoirs stood at 699.42 million cubic metres, while Totladoh reservoir held only 433.11 million cubic metres as of October 18.
