<p>Lakes are emptying, there’s a water cut in place, and now the Rs 15,000-crore Pinjal dam project will be delayed by another two years and not be ready before 2022</p>

While low-lying areas in the city were flooded yesterday, as this photo from Parel aptly demonstrates, the catchment areas have been largely dry. Pic/Sayed Sameer Abedi
