District Atlas
Maharashtra
The first state beyond Tamil Nadu: Koyna country first, with the drought and tanker belt to come.
Satara
District|MH
Koyna country with a dry eastern edge: the same district holds talukas at 20% and talukas at 76% of their groundwater.

The tanker district: 97 tankers were running in monsoon August 2026 while the assessment still reads semi-critical - the scarcity register sees what the annual number cannot.

Every taluka is within its groundwater; the water story here is the flood - the Krishna-Panchganga backwater that submerged the district in 2019 and 2021.
Open districtTankers this week
The Water Supply and Sanitation Department publishes a weekly report of every village and wadi on tanker supply, district by district. This is that report's latest week, served as the department prints it.
In the week to 2026-08-30 (report dated 2026-08-31), 321 villages and 1,125 wadis across the state drew water from 348 tankers - 7 government, 341 private. Ahilyanagar ran the most of any district (97), the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar division the most of any division (149).

The other 24districts stand at zero in this week’s report. The register is the Water Supply and Sanitation Department’s weekly tanker report, transcribed edition by edition from the scanned PDF; an edition is accepted only when its district rows reproduce the report’s own printed totals.

What the disaster plan says about floods
The state's own disaster management plan, quoted with its page. The Atlas classifies nothing itself; each district page carries the plan's statement for that district.
Every district is flood-prone except the eight the plan names.
“All districts in the State except Ahmednagar, Beed, Solapur, Latur, Osmanabad, Jalna, Aurangabad, and Buldhana are flood prone.”
The remaining columns of the district signal ledger (groundwater by taluka, polluted river stretches, drought declarations) land here one at a time, each as its source, mapping and licence are pinned down; the page never invents a column it cannot source.
