**Surat MP Mukesh Dalal Raises Alert on Water Management at Ukai Dam**
Surat MP Mukesh Dalal has sounded an alert regarding the management of water at the Ukai Dam. He suggested pre-emptive measures such as releasing water downstream in advance to avoid sudden, high-volume discharge. Alternatively, he recommended storing additional water above the full reservoir level to maintain safe discharge rates in case of heavy inflows.
On Monday, Dalal wrote to the Surat district collector highlighting that heavy rainfall has been forecasted for the Ukai Dam’s catchment area in Madhya Pradesh, while heavy rains continue in Maharashtra.
“In case of heavy rain and inflow, there is limited scope to store more water in the reservoir, and water will have to be released, affecting downstream areas adjoining the river,” Dalal stated in his letter.
