Mumbai Reservoirs Maintain Over 96% Water Capacity Amid Monsoon Season
Mumbai's seven reservoirs supplying the city held 96.61% water capacity as of September 13, reflecting a strong water position after substantial monsoon rainfall. Vehar Lake remained full at 100%, with other lakes ranging between 92.78% and 98.85%. Despite a slight dip to 96.29% on September 12 due to no recent rainfall, overall storage remains above 96%, ensuring a substantial buffer for Mumbai's water needs. Several lakes had overflowed during July's heavy rains.
