Thanks for such a goo statistical information :). I would like to know that do dam capacity has reached to average 5Lml, in recent 10 years? As per information its crossed in 2005.
Also as per IMD, monsoon would not be active over Maharashtra, when would be it active again?
Also do you have statistics for rain over western ghat sections,Lonavala,Mahabaleshwar this year and recent years? . It would be great if you could share with us. Thanks again in advance.
this is just not the case with mumbai, krishna godavri and cauvery catchment areas have not received enough rains , only positive is vidarbha and martawada has had decent rains
Thanks for reading.average for this date is 5 lml. Mahableshwar/Lonaval figures are put up today.If you need more let me know.Last year was a poor rainfall year.
