Pune may implement a 15% water cut to preserve dam stocks until monsoon arrival. The city's four dams currently hold 13.20 TMC, which is 45.29% of total capacity. State water officials urged the Pune Municipal Corporation to implement cuts. PMC officials are preparing alternate plans: alternate-day cuts would save 25%, weekly cuts would save 10%. A final decision awaits discussions between civic and state authorities.
