The Maharashtra government on Monday said it will impose a minimum 10 per cent water cut in all urban and rural local bodies from October 16 amid a deficient monsoon, news agency PTI reported.

State Water Resources Minister Girish Mahajan said his department had undertaken detailed dam-wise and use-wise planning of available water stocks up to August 31, 2027, keeping in mind the impact of El Nino and the possibility of a drought-like situation.
