Mumbai Water Stock at 95.87%

Mumbai's water stock across its seven lakes stood at 95.87% as of September 1, 2026, according to the Hydraulic Engineer's Department. This represents a marginal decline from 95.90% recorded the previous day.

The seven reservoirs collectively have 13,87,618 million litres of useful water against a combined live storage capacity of 14,47,363 ML.

Among the seven lakes, Vehar remained at 100%, while Modak Sagar stood at 99.61%. Tansa recorded 98.29%, Middle Vaitarna 98.25%, Bhatsa 95.83%, Tulsi 97.50%, and Upper Vaitarna 89.76%.

In the 24 hours leading up to 6 am, Upper Vaitarna received 10 mm of rainfall, while Modak Sagar recorded 3 mm, Middle Vaitarna 5 mm, Bhatsa 2 mm, Vehar 4 mm, and Tulsi 5 mm. Tansa recorded no rainfall during the period.

Several of Mumbai's reservoirs had begun overflowing earlier during the monsoon. Vehar and Tulsi started overflowing on July 7, followed by Tansa on July 22 and Modak Sagar on July 23.

Despite the marginal decline, the overall water stock remains close to 96% of the combined live storage capacity, keeping Mumbai's water supply position comfortable as the monsoon enters its final phase.

Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast generally cloudy skies and light rainfall across Mumbai and its suburbs on Tuesday, with isolated areas possibly receiving moderate to heavy showers. No rain alert has been issued for the city this week.

Winds are expected at 40-50 kmph, with gusts reaching 50-60 kmph during intense spells. Mumbai's maximum temperature is likely to settle around 33°C.

The comfortable water supply position is a relief for Mumbai residents, as the city's water needs are met for now. The BMC and hydraulic department continue to monitor the water stock and weather forecast to ensure a steady supply of water to the city.

In conclusion, Mumbai's water stock remains near full capacity, and the city's water supply position is comfortable. The marginal decline in water stock is not a cause for concern, and the city can expect a steady supply of water in the coming days.
