The dams in the Khadakwasla Dam Chain Project – Temghar, Varasgaon, Panshet, and Khadakwasla – are currently at full capacity, holding a total of 28.34 TMC, which is 97.18% of their capacity. Rainfall recorded in the area includes 48 mm in Temghar, 24 mm in Varasgaon and Panshet, and 8 mm in Khadakwasla.
