The second phase of the Maharashtra government's ambitious water conservation project called 'Jalyukt Shivar' will start soon, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Sunday.

The 'Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyaan' was started in 2014 when Fadnavis was chief minister to deepen and widen streams, build cement and earthen stop dams and restoring nullahs and digging farm ponds to enhance water availability for farming.
