On Tuesday, September 29, Mumbai's water stock declined to 96.57% of its maximum potential, a slight drop from 96.89% the previous day, according to the Hydraulic Engineer's Department. This reduction was due to the seven lakes that supply water to the city receiving no rainfall over the past 24 hours. The lakes collectively hold 13,98,722 million liters of useful water, with a total capacity of 14,47,363 ML.
The last 24 hours saw no rainfall, with the catchments recording a total of 2,961 mm of cumulative rainfall during the monsoon. Among the seven reservoirs, Vehar, Tulsi, Middle Vaitarna, and Bhatsa had the highest water levels at 100%, 99.15%, 98.99%, and 98.58% respectively. The overall water stock was lower than last year's level, when the lakes were at 97.57% of their total capacity.
The current water stock is 0.32 percentage points less than it was 24 hours ago, following a dry spell in the lake catchment areas.
