In the drought-prone Marathwada region of Maharashtra, a severe water crisis has plagued farmers for decades, leading to distress and despair. The Maharashtra government's Marathwada Water Grid Project emerges as a beacon of hope in this dire situation. Designed to provide long-term water security, the ambitious project aims to create a sustainable system for transferring water from surplus areas to Marathwada.
With rainfall patterns becoming increasingly erratic—2023 saw a staggering 21.44% drop below the annual average—the need for reliable water sources is more urgent than ever. The water grid will connect 11 major dams through a network of pipelines, minimizing disruption to agricultural lands while ensuring efficient water delivery. In collaboration with Israel’s national water company, Mekorot, the project incorporates advanced technology to enhance reliability.
