As Navi Mumbai undergoes rapid redevelopment, residents are demanding a 20-30 year water security plan outlining the city’s future water supply and demand. The Sajag Nagrik Manch has urged the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation to audit the Morbe Dam water supply and distribution, highlighting concerns over potential leakages and insufficient infrastructure to meet growing demand.
A public white paper and independent audit, including measurements of water drawn from Morbe Dam, treatment and distribution losses, and leakage rates, are demanded.

Residents argue that a long-term, publicly-monitored water strategy is necessary to ensure sustainable urban growth without placing undue strain on the city’s water resources.
