Varasgaon Dam

Varasgaon is a dam on the Musi River which supplies water to city of Pune, Maharashtra, India.

About 30 minutes from Varasgaon is Lavasa whose construction was halted by the Bombay High Court on 7 December 2010, partially due to the proximity as it is feared that it could lead to contamination of water supply to Pune.

[2] Apart from this, around 18 indigenous tribal villages were displaced with meager or no compensation due to the Lavasa project.

[3] Villagers have reported misappropriation of land (in the name of agricultural irrigation) through compensation cheques that bounced on depositing and agents that threaten the locals with death if the land wasn't sold to them.

Some were relocated to hill tops where Varasgaon water was then supplied to them by tankers.
