Mumbai Reservoirs Near Full Capacity Amid Rainfall Concerns; Navi Mumbai Faces Possible Water Cut
Mumbai's seven reservoirs are nearly full at 98 percent capacity despite below-average rainfall in August and September, with three lakes at full storage. Officials warn water may last only until May, prompting plans for a possible 10 percent cut next summer. Meanwhile, Navi Mumbai's Morbe dam faces a rainfall shortfall, currently below overflow level, raising concerns about water supply after Diwali if it fails to fill. Authorities continue monitoring and planning to ensure water availability through the year.
