Though the main lakes feeding the city have not received adequate rainfall, there are no immediate plans to enforce more water cuts. However, it’s only a matter of time as civic officials say the water stock is getting worse. “We can decide after a few days or after IMD’s prediction,” he added.
“The water stock in the lakes is worrying,” Additional Municipal Commissioner Abhijeet Bangar told Sunday mid-day. “Catchment areas have not received the expected amount of rainfall. [However] IMD has predicted good rainfall; we are monitoring the situation.” According to the civic body’s data, the seven lakes had 1.57 lakh million litres of water stock on Saturday morning—10.88 per cent of full capacity. Mumbai needs 14.47 lakh million litres for the full year. On the same day, 2023 recorded water stock of 2.64 lakh million litres, 2022 of 2.32 lakh million litres.
