Mumbai’s lake levels on verge of reaching full capacity in record time this year
Given that the water stock reaching its full capacity will mean that the city will not undergo any water cuts in the next year.
The overall stock in the seven lakes that supply potable water to Mumbai is likely to reach its full capacity in a record early time in the last 10 years.
As per Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) record, the overall water stock in the lakes stands at 78.3 per cent or 11.33 lakh million litres out of the total capacity of 14.47 lakh million litres on July 15, Tuesday.
Usually, it takes approximately 30-40 days for the overall stock to reach full capacity after surpassing the 70 per cent mark. The BMC’s record shows that in 2022 and 2023, the lake levels reached full capacity on September 5, which has been the earliest in the past 10 years.
