Mumbai Lake Water Levels Decline Amid Early Monsoon Withdrawal
Mumbai's seven lakes supplying drinking water recorded a decline in storage levels, holding 95.50% of their total useful capacity as of October 4, down from 95.84% the previous day, according to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation data. This decrease coincides with the early withdrawal of the southwest monsoon. Among the reservoirs, Modak Sagar had the lowest level at around 75%, while Vihar remained full at 100%. Current levels are lower than those recorded on the same dates in previous years.
