Opa basin ‘critical’ as three pumps used for rejuvenating river fail

The water level in the Opa river basin touched the critical 1.7m mark on Friday evening after three pumps at the Codli mining pit — from where water was being pumped in to rejuvenate the basin — failed. This posed an immediate problem for the Opa water treatment as reduced quantity of water had to be sourced from the basin, thus affect drinking water supply to Ponda and Tiswadi.
