Overview
- As of August 2, Mumbai’s seven reservoirs held 1.287 million million litres, equating to 88.94% of their combined capacity.
- Modak Sagar has reached full capacity and Tansa stands at 98.37%, with all lakes now holding at least 72% of their water stock.
- This refill pace is the fastest since the 1950s, reversing last year’s single-digit levels and putting the city on track to meet its October storage targets.
- The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is coordinating with the India Meteorological Department to adjust dam gates, channel excess inflows and manage daily distribution across western and eastern supply networks.
- The IMD forecasts continued light to moderate showers under yellow alerts, and residents in low-lying areas are advised to monitor tidal warnings to mitigate flood risks.
