Mumbai Water Stock Reaches 95.72%

Mumbai's seven reservoirs recorded a marginal rise in their combined water stock on Tuesday, reaching 95.72% as of 6 am on August 25, 2026.

The reservoirs collectively hold 13,85,447 million litres of water against the total useful storage capacity of 14,47,363 ML. The stock has increased by around 2,823 ML over the past 24 hours.

Among the seven lakes, Modak Sagar and Vehar continue to remain at 100% of their useful storage capacity. Modak Sagar holds 1,28,925 ML, while Vehar has 27,698 ML. Tansa is at 99.10%, with a useful content of 1,43,769 ML, while Tulsi stands at 98.94%, holding 7,961 ML.

Middle Vaitarna has reached 96.48%, with 1,86,722 ML in storage. Bhatsa, Mumbai's largest source of water, is at 95.75%, holding 6,86,583 ML. Upper Vaitarna has the lowest storage level among the seven reservoirs at 89.76%, with 2,03,789 ML of useful water content.

The reservoirs also received rainfall over the past 24 hours. Upper Vaitarna recorded 5 mm, Modak Sagar 3 mm, Tansa 3 mm, Middle Vaitarna 15 mm, Bhatsa received no rainfall, Vehar recorded 2 mm, and Tulsi received 4 mm.

Several reservoirs continue to maintain their overflow status. Vehar and Tulsi began overflowing on July 7, while Tansa started overflowing on July 22 and Modak Sagar on July 23.

The latest increase keeps Mumbai's overall reservoir storage comfortably above 95%, strengthening the city's water security as the monsoon progresses.

Mumbai's water stock has been steadily increasing over the past few weeks, thanks to the consistent rainfall in the region. The city's water security is a major concern, especially during the summer months when the demand for water is high.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has been working to improve the city's water supply infrastructure, including the construction of new reservoirs and the renovation of existing ones. The corporation has also been implementing measures to reduce water wastage and promote water conservation.

The increase in Mumbai's water stock is a welcome relief for the city's residents, who have been facing water shortages in recent years. The city's water supply is expected to remain stable for the next few months, thanks to the adequate rainfall and the BMC's efforts to improve the water supply infrastructure.

In conclusion, the increase in Mumbai's water stock is a positive development for the city, and it is expected to strengthen the city's water security in the coming months.
