History of Mula Dam

In 1957, construction of masonry dam across Mula river, at Wanjarwadi, Taluka - Rahuri, having capacity of 22250 Mcft, was sanctioned. But due to the problem of deep foundation & river diversion, the place of the dam was changed downwards to Baregaon Nandur, Taluka - Rahuri. Government sanctioned an earthen dam having storage capacity of 26000 Mcft.
