This summer, Surat stares at severe water supply crisis
The quantity and quality of water in the weir-cum-causeway has gone down badly
Within 10 days of having approached the Ukai dam authorities to release water from the dam to the weir-cum-causeway, the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) has made another such request.
The quantity and quality of water in the weir-cum-causeway has gone down badly.
Officials of SMC’s water supply department claimed that such a situation arises every summer and they are not sure if a similar situation will not arise in another 15 days.
Water supply experts claim that in the absence of long-term solutions and growing demand for water, the situation will become further challenging.
An SMC official said that with the growing population in the city, the demand for water is increasing.
