Summary:
The impact was seen in 2016 itself that left water level at 4% in the previous year. In the Nagpur district, there were protests by paddy growers as water was not released from Totladoh dam. There was no cut in irrigation last year which resulted in less water, an official said.Considering the dry spell in 2017 there were cuts in irrigation leading to better savings. But to ensure enough water for city, irrigation will have to take a back seat. There are 18 major dams in Nagpur division which covers Wardha, Bhandara, Chandrapur, Gondia, Gadchiroli and Nagpur district..
