After heavy rains in Rajasthan, Bisalpur dam, known as the lifeline of many districts including Jaipur, is nearing overflow. The dam supplies water to about one crore people in Jaipur, Tonk, and surrounding areas, fulfilling both household and agricultural needs.

The water level was measured on Monday morning, crossing 315.17 meters—33 cm below its full capacity of 315.50 meters RL. So far, 597 mm of rain has fallen in the dam area. Continuous inflow is coming from the Triveni River, which is flowing at a height of 3.30 meters. There is a possibility that the dam gates may be opened by late evening today. The dam first overflowed in 2004 after its construction, and since then, gates have been opened seven times—in 2006, 2014, 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2024. 

Additionally, heavy rains caused the embankment of Islampura dam in Chhan Bas Surya Panchayat of Barwas sub-tehsil area in Tonk to break on Sunday. This increased water pressure on the pond in Naya village, located downstream, raising the risk of further failure. 

Flood-like conditions could develop in villages in the lower areas. Upon receiving information from villagers, the SDRF and Civil Defense teams arrived around 5 pm to assess the situation. Later, the Water Resources Department also reached the site. Relief efforts are currently underway, with residents saving themselves by climbing onto their rooftops.
