#PuneRains Water Storage as on 7 Jul 2026
Cumulative storage for Pune city (incl. Bhama Askhed): 41.28%*** today vs 28.15% yesterday.
***Warasgaon data for last 24 hours is a conservative estimate & likely to be more. Awaiting corrected data updates.
Last 24 hrs almost 5 TMC added (incl Bhama Askhed storage), i.e. equivalent to about 100 days demand for Pune city.
Still a long way to go for dams to fill up.

Did you know... the first session of the Indian National Congress in 1885 was scheduled in Pune (Dec 1885) - under the leadership of Mahadev Govind Ranade and others.
However at the last moment, due to a cholera outbreak in Pune, the session was shifted to Mumbai.
The great M.G. Ranade... founder/cofounder of the Indian National Congress, Poona Sarvajanik Sabha, Maharashtra Granthottejak Sabha ('Vasant Vyakhyanmala')... and so many more institutions and initiatives.
'Vasant Vyakhyanmala' (Spring Lecture Series) - a month long series of discussions and lectures across a wide variety of topics was setup in 1875 in Pune! (completed 150 years last year).
Did you know, Ranade was graduate of the first batch of students of the newly setup Bombay University in 1860? One of his classmates (who he worked with together for many initiatives over the years) - R.G. Bhandarkar.

Summary of 2025 #punerains
In May the rains came early, fast,
Two-fifty plus, a record cast.
June was wet, July turned dry,
August half-empty, clouds passed by.
September poured, the heaviest yet,
A joyful season Pune won’t forget.
Thank you Monsoon 2025 as season nearing close.

In Pune, a daily wage worker admitted his wife to the hospital for delivery. It turned out to be a cesarean section. He didn’t know how much the fee would be and thought he might have to mortgage his house. “Doctor, what child is it?”
“You have been blessed with an angel (a baby girl),” the doctor replied. “How much is the fee?” “When angels are born, I don’t charge any fee,” said the doctor. The man fell at his feet saying, “Sir, you are God.”
Dr. Ganesh Rakh in Pune has been doing this for 10 years—he does not take even a single paisa if a baby girl is born. So far, he has delivered over 1,000 babies for free.
His mother told him once, ‘Become a doctor and protect these angel girls,’” he proudly says.
Dr. Rakh’s Save the Girl Child initiative has transcended borders and inspired change globally.
Stay blessed, Doctor!
