Navi Mumbai residents are ramping up water conservation efforts as the Morbe dam's usable water storage reaches 73.9%, according to the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC). Housing societies are urging people to use water sparingly, shift non-essential activities to alternative sources, and adopt efficient water usage habits.
Bhimashankar Society in Nerul has installed three borewells to supply water for vehicle washing and gardening, while Parsik Green Association in Belapur is closely monitoring storage tanks to prevent overflow. Samata Society in Sanpada has requested residents to limit water-intensive household activities until February. The NMMC has emphasized the importance of water conservation due to concerns over rainfall patterns, climate change, and forecasts related to El Niño and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD).
They have also warned that residents found using drinking water for washing vehicles will face penalties.
