Delay in monsoon leads to water shortage in several places, rural Maharashtra suffers the most. In Shahapur, just 100 km from Mumbai, villagers are dependent on tankers for water and have to travel for kilometers to get two buckets of water. Shahapur is the same place that has Tansa, Bhatsa, Vaitarna and Middle Vaitarna dams in Shahapur district provide water to Mumbai. But all of them are situated at a lower height as compared to the tribal villages, which are built on the plateau. Thus, it is not feasible to elevate water from these dams and supply it to these villages.
