SHILLONG, May 2: Meghalaya chief engineer of Public Health Engineering (PHE) department, BM Lyndem today informed that due to the ongoing dry weather conditions and various factors, the water level at the Mawphlang Dam, the main source of drinking water supply to the residents of Shillong, has decreased notably.

However, despite this decrease, the storage capacity of the dam still allows for water distribution for another three/four months under the prevailing circumstances, she said in a statement.
