Mumbai Plans Zone-Wise Water Supply Amid Reservoirs Near Full Capacity
Mumbai faces water shortages despite its seven reservoirs holding nearly full capacity at around 96 percent. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans to map shortage-hit areas and implement a zone-wise water supply schedule to ensure full supply on designated days. Recent rainfall has been uneven, with July seeing heavy rains and August experiencing a sharp decline. While water cuts remain in place due to El Niño effects, authorities aim to manage supply efficiently amid rising demand during the upcoming Ganeshotsav festival.
