NASHIK: A trial bore was taken by Nashik Smart City on Monday evening near Ramkund (Ahilya Devi Kund) to search for a live water source in the Godavari river basin. Social activist Dewang Jani informed that 1.5 inches of water was surfaced at a 7-feet drill. In a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Nashik Smart City Project, it was decided to take trial bore near Ramkund.
Accordingly, the work of digging the borewell was started. Surprisingly, during the trial bore, 1.5 inches of water was surfaced at just 7-feet. Jani also said that it was clear that the live water source in the Godavari river basin was in good condition.
As per the decision taken at the Smart City meeting, he demanded immediate removal of cement-concrete from Ramkund and other remaining 12 ponds without any delay. The concrete is being removed by JCB for the past two days. A total of five ponds are to be deconcretised. Among them, Anamika and Dashwamedh were deconcretised before the monsoon.
A trial bore was taken by Nashik Smart City last evening near Ramkund (Ahilya Devi Kund) to remove the remaining concretization and to search for a live water source in the Godavari river basin as suggested in the 2016 GSDA report. During the trial bore, near Ramkund, the Smart City authorities noticed a live water stream at 7-feet.
