Rajkot: The filling up of Narmada water in Aaji and Nyari dams here was stopped today with enough water stored in the dams to continue the supply of water to this biggest city of Saurashtra for over two months.

An official today said that the city needed around 5 million cubic ft of water per day for its needs and now the two dams have enough water for supply up to 70 days or ie up to August 15. Much before that the monsoon would arrive.

He said that the water filling was started some time ago in the wake of lowering of water level of the two dams amid scorching summer. Aaji dam, one of the over 100 dams of Saurashtra under SAUNI project is known as the lifeline of water supply of Rajkot.
