Maharashtra faces a growing water crisis with the government prioritizing revival of defunct water supply schemes within 15 days and treating tankers as a last resort. Mumbai and the wider metropolitan region confront rising demand and reservoir neglect, prompting calls for urgent desilting and wastewater reuse. Sewage treatment plants in Versova and Ghatkopar, with a combined capacity of 517 MLD, are slated for completion by March 2027 to support water reuse and reduce freshwater dependence amid shortages.
