Gargai dam project: BMC plans to revive the project
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has plans to revive the Gargai Dam project. The ambitious project — conceived in 2015 which plans to build a network of four dams with two dams each in the Gargai-Pinjal and Damanganga-Pinjal river links in the Palghar district.
The project was temporarily halted after the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha-Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government came into power in 2019 as it was opposed to the felling of a large number of trees. This project is expected to augment the water supply of Mumbai by 865 MLD (Million Litres Per day) initially. By 2050, the overall supply will increase by 2,800 MLD.
