Mumbai Water Stock Rises to 92%, Reservoirs Overflow Amid Ongoing Monsoon
Mumbai's water stock has risen to approximately 92%, with the city's seven lakes holding enough water to supply the population for about 323 days. Recent rainfall has boosted reservoir levels, causing several lakes, including Tansa, Modak Sagar, Vihar, and Tulsi, to overflow. Despite this improvement, the water stock remains below the annual requirement of 14.47 lakh million litres. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation continues a 10% water cut as a precaution amid concerns over monsoon rainfall influenced by the El Niño phenomenon.
