Mumbai and Navi Mumbai Maintain 10% Water Cut Despite Reservoir Levels Nearing Capacity
Mumbai and Navi Mumbai continue a 10% water supply cut despite reservoir levels nearing 90%, as authorities await sufficient long-term water reserves. Mumbai's seven reservoirs, including Modak Sagar, Vihar, and Tulsi, are nearly full, but the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans to maintain restrictions until stocks can support supply through August 2027. Similarly, Navi Mumbai's Morbe Dam has reached 86.48% capacity, yet the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation and CIDCO retain the water cut as a precaution amid ongoing supply concerns in some areas.
