Mumbai Water Reserves Near 70% as Modak Sagar Reservoir Overflows
Heavy monsoon rains have increased Mumbai's water reserves to nearly 70% of total live storage capacity across seven key reservoirs. Modak Sagar became the fourth lake to overflow this season, following Vihar, Tulsi, and Tansa. The combined water stock now holds over 10 lakh million litres, sufficient for about 246 days. Despite improved levels, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation continues a 10% water supply cut, with no decision yet on lifting restrictions.
