Mumbai Water Stock At 88.70%

Mumbai's water stock stood at 88.70% on Sunday, with the seven lakes supplying water to the city holding 12,83,826 million litres of useful live storage.

The Hydraulic Engineer's Department reported that the overall water stock was lower than the levels recorded during the corresponding period in the previous two years, which were 89.11% in 2025 and 90.87% in 2024.

Among the seven reservoirs, Modak Sagar and Vihar lakes have reached 100% of their useful live storage capacity. Tulsi and Tansa reported stocks of nearly 99.87% and 98.77%, respectively.

Upper Vaitarna held 80.14% of its capacity, followed by Middle Vaitarna at 90.55%, while Bhatsa stood at 86.28%. The water level in Middle Vaitarna increased by 0.28 metres over the past 24 hours, while Upper Vaitarna recorded no change in its stock.

The Bhandup Complex recorded 5 mm of rainfall during the latest 24-hour period, taking its cumulative rainfall to 2,432 mm. Vihar and Tulsi lakes started overflowing on July 7, while Tansa began overflowing on July 22 and Modak Sagar on July 23.

The release from Upper Vaitarna was stopped on July 6, while the Middle Vaitarna WSCPO gate was closed on July 6. Despite the stable water stock, Mumbai continues to grapple with water scarcity in isolated areas.

The city's water stock is a crucial aspect of its water supply system, and the BMC closely monitors the levels in the seven lakes. The water stock is used to supply water to the city's residents, and any fluctuations in the levels can impact the city's water supply.

In recent years, Mumbai has faced water scarcity issues, and the BMC has implemented measures to conserve water and reduce waste. The city's water supply system is complex, and the BMC works to ensure that residents have access to clean and safe drinking water.

The stable water stock is a positive sign for the city, but the BMC must continue to monitor the levels and implement measures to conserve water and reduce waste.

The water stock levels are an important indicator of the city's water supply, and residents can stay informed about the latest updates through the BMC's website and social media channels.

In conclusion, Mumbai's water stock remains stable, but the city must continue to work towards conserving water and reducing waste to ensure a sustainable water supply system.

The BMC's efforts to monitor and manage the city's water stock are crucial, and residents must also do their part to conserve water and reduce waste.

By working together, Mumbai can ensure a stable and sustainable water supply system for its residents.
