Mumbai's seven reservoirs have seen a significant rise in their water stock, reaching 95.53 percent as of 6 am on Monday, according to the Hydraulic Engineer's Department. This increase comes as the monsoon season continues, providing relief to the city. The reservoirs collectively hold 13,82,624 million litres (ML) of water, which is close to their total useful storage capacity of 14,47,363 ML.
Among them, Modak Sagar remains at 100 percent capacity, storing 1,28,925 ML of water. Upper Vaitarna holds 89.32 percent, with a stock of 2,02,796 ML. Middle Vaitarna, along with Upper Vaitarna, received 12 mm of rainfall in the past 24 hours. However, some reservoirs like Tulsi experienced a slight decline of 0.02 meters. The Bhandup Complex recorded 5 mm of rainfall, bringing its cumulative seasonal rainfall to 2,694 mm.
Despite some reservoirs being in overflow, the overall water stock in Mumbai's lakes is above 95 percent, ensuring adequate water supply for the city in the coming months. The BMC regularly monitors the water levels and rainfall in these reservoirs to ensure the city's water security.
