The rains may have taken a breather, but the lake levels have risen considerably. The stock has reached 63 per cent, which is more than last two years during the same time. The situation was tense last week as the monsoon break was longer than usual. The city only had 18 per cent of the water stock in its lakes as of mid-July, which is considered a heavy-rainfall month. But the situation has changed drastically in a week, due to heavy rains in Mumbai and neighbouring areas.
The combined water stock of all the seven lakes increased from 18 to 54 per cent within four days. On Saturday, the water stock increased to 9,08,763 lakh million litres.
