The largest Jawai Dam in the Pali district is currently overflowing. The Jawai Dam is completely filled, with a total capacity of 61.25 feet. Water has begun slowly flowing from the dam’s 13 gates, allowing a controlled release into the Jawai River. The dam has been completely filled, and due to the pressure of the water and the force of the wind, there is a controlled release through the gates.
According to sources, a meeting of officials from the Water Resources Department is scheduled for Friday to discuss the opening of the dam’s gates. It is likely that the gates of Jawai Dam will be opened on the 10th or 11th of this month.
The Jawai Dam has experienced overflow nine times since its construction, and it has opened eight times. The water from assistant dams and river channels has contributed to the overflow of the Jawai Dam. After the overflow of the dam, there is a sense of relief and happiness among farmers and residents in the region.
Farmers and the Member of Parliament from Jalore, as well as the local MLA, have been demanding the opening of the Jawai Dam’s gates for the past several days, but the government and department officials have not paid attention to their requests.
