Mumbai Reservoirs Reach 88.4% Capacity Amid Monsoon; Water Cut Planned for Maintenance
Mumbai's seven reservoirs have reached 88.40% of their total live storage capacity following steady monsoon rainfall, with four lakes—Vihar, Tulsi, Tansa, and Modak Sagar—at full capacity and overflowing. Reservoirs like Middle Vaitarna and Bhatsa also saw significant increases. Maharashtra's broader reservoir storage stands at 57.39%, with key dams such as Khadakwasla and Koyna showing healthy inflows. Meanwhile, Mumbai faces a planned 15% water cut during maintenance at the Panjrapur pumping station, expected to affect supply in several suburbs.
