Mumbai Reservoirs Overflowing but BMC Maintains 10% Water Cut Amid Rainfall Concerns
Mumbai's seven reservoirs have significantly recovered during the monsoon, with four lakes overflowing and total water storage reaching between 70% and 84% capacity. Despite this, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) continues a 10% water supply cut, citing concerns over a potential El Niño-induced rainfall deficit in the coming months. The BMC emphasizes ensuring year-round water availability and plans to review the situation once all reservoirs are full, likely by September.
