  "account": "On November 2, 2026, CIDCO, the governing body for Navi Mumbai, announced a 15% reduction in water supply across all its nodes. This measure is a response to potential water scarcity and concerns over the availability of water reserves, with the possibility of inadequate rainfall in the upcoming months.\n\nTo regulate consumption, CIDCO will impose 24-hour water supply shutdowns once a week in different nodes.

In certain parts of Ulwe and Dronagiri, water will be supplied on an alternate-day basis instead of a fixed weekly shutdown.\n\nCIDCO has appealed to the citizens to conserve water by using it judiciously, storing it responsibly, and not using it for non-essential purposes such as washing vehicles or filling swimming pools. The authority has also warned of penal actions for violations and emphasized the importance of repairing leaking taps and pipelines promptly.\n\nThis action follows a directive from the Maharashtra government on October 5, 2026, urging water-supplying agencies to manage available water resources in a planned manner to ensure drinking water security. The restrictions are expected to remain in place until August 31, 2027, as part of the state government's efforts to mitigate the impact of the El Niño effect and similar conditions.",
