Bridge over Vaitarna lake - a photo on Flickriver

Bridge over Vaitarna lake

            While Maharashtra is cursed with severe droughts, particularly in the Marathwada region, the western front (Sahayadri belt) gets some of the highest rainfall in the country. What catches one's eye, is the immense no. of barges and small dams that are constructed in this belt to harvest this rain-water and then feed it back during the 9 months of post-monsoon dry climate. This can be clearly seen from an aircraft some 30 minutes before it lands in Mumbai, a root topology of rivers, abruptly blocked by a straight line dam. A model for the water-starved country ?
Incidentally, this dam is one of the perennial sources of water to Mumbai. 
We have a lot of rain in 3 months. Time to wake up !!!
