Bhatsa lake, from which Mumbai gets half of its daily water supply, has only 2.8 per cent water stock, or 20,000 million litres, and this may last up to five days. After this, the BMC will rely on reserved stock from the lake to ensure an uninterrupted supply of water to the city. Though the water level is very low at 13 per cent, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) hasn’t been keen on water cuts as imposing a 10 per cent daily water cut for a month saves water for only three days.
The city has seven lakes with a total storage capacity of 14.47 lakh million litres of water. Bhatsa lake alone has the capacity to provide 7.17 lakh million litres of water to Mumbai.
