Manjara dam pumping station. The caretaker told Down To Earth that the dam has had very little water for the last 3 years. This year the dam has gone completely dry. It has three pumps of 650 horsepower with a monthly bill of at least Rs 7-8 lakh. For the last three months, no water pumping is being done as there is no water at all. Even dead storage water has gone dry.
