In a letter written recently to the Minister, the Mayor stated that the VMC required the additional supply for future needs. According to sources, in about 10 years time the city would require double the supply.

Work to get additional water from the downstream of Narmada (from Chandod) is already on. As part of the Panam Water Works Agreement, the VMC has obtained a permission to draw 25 mgd water from Mahisagar.
