THE RESERVOIR IS EXPECTED TO SUPPLY WATER TO 71 VILLAGES IN KHALAPUR TALUKA AND PANVEL IN RAIGAD DISTRICT
To facilitate development of 71 villages off Khandala, plans to build a dam in the 186 sq km area near the hill station are underway.
The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDO) will initiate a study to identify potential water sources for the reservoir that will eventually supply water.
This area was part of the Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA) before the state government appointed MSRDC as the Special Planning Authority in March 2016.
