According to the Industries Association, industries will be able to sustain the water cuts due to the rain water harvesting system they have adopted.
"The MIDC and the irrigation department provide us about two per cent of available water from the Jayakwadi project. We do not have a large requirement of water as maximum industry houses have opted for rainwater harvesting," Ashish Gadre, president of Chamber of Marathwada Industries and Agriculture (CMIA) said.
"The main reason of water not being supplied to the industries in the Marathwada region is lack of sufficient water in Jayakwadi irrigation project," he said.
"We never get our share of water from irrigation projects located on upper side in Nashik and Ahmednagar districts. I do not wish to politicise the issue but the government should release sufficient water to Jayakwadi every year to resolve the issue permanently," Garde added.
