Every Drop Counts: Despite water cut, Mumbai loses more water stock than last year

Mumbai | Tuesday | 11th December, 2018

Summary:

Despite BMC's 10 per cent water cut, the city has used more water stock than it had during the same period, in 2017. After poor rains and an insufficient stock of water in the lakes, the BMC imposed 10 per cent water cut in November. "Though the civic body claims to have enforced a 10 per cent water cut, my area receives only 50 per cent of its share. Though the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had imposed water cut to conserve water up till the next monsoon season, the lake levels do not paint a positive picture currently. The city used 1,49,093 million litre of water during the same period in 2017 and there were no water cuts..
