Mumbai Reservoirs Refill Amid Monsoon, Tansa Lake Overflows, Water Supply Improves
Mumbai's monsoon rains have significantly improved the city's water reservoir levels after a severe shortage in late June. Three lakes—Vihar, Tulsi, and Tansa—have reached or exceeded full capacity, with Tansa overflowing recently. Overall, Mumbai's seven reservoirs now hold about 62% of their total capacity, providing enough water for approximately 219 days. Despite this recovery, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) continues a 10% water cut, awaiting further rainfall to ensure sustained supply amid forecasts of below-normal monsoon rains.
