Mumbai Lakes Water Level
Mumbai’s seven lakes, which supply drinking water to the city, are currently 98.61 % full, as per a report by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Thursday morning. The total water stored in these reservoirs has reached 14,27,276 million litres, ensuring a sufficient supply of drinking water for the coming months.
The lakes providing water to Mumbai include Tulsi, Tansa, Vihar, Bhatsa, Modak Sagar, Upper Vaitarna, and Middle Vaitarna. Currently, Modak Sagar is at 98.70 % capacity, Tansa is at 97.80 %, and Vihar Lake has reached 100 %. The other lakes are also nearly full: Middle Vaitarna stands at 98.38 %, Upper Vaitarna at 99.15 %, Bhatsa at 98.58 %, and Tulsi at 99.87 %.
Heavy rainfall in July played a significant role in replenishing these lakes. Middle Vaitarna overflowed on July 4 due to the rain, followed by Vihar and Modak Sagar by July 25. Tansa Lake also overflowed on July 24, contributing to the city’s water supply.
Tansa Lake, located in Thane’s Shahpur region, delivers around 400 million gallons of water daily to Mumbai. Tulsi Lake, which also supplies water directly to the city, overflowed on July 20, similar to the previous year.
With the lakes near full capacity, Mumbai’s water supply remains secure, ensuring a reliable source of drinking water for the months ahead.
