Summary:
The volume of water stock in seven lakes supplying water to Mumbai has hit a new low of 6%. However, the reserve stock of around 1.7 lakh million litres will be able to quench the city's thirst till July end. As on date, the total water stock of the city is around only 80 thousand million litres. The city gets around 3400 million litres water every day and following use of reserve stock the water will last enough for a month. In the last few years (2014, 2015) despite a huge gap between demand and supply, the city civic body has never used reserve water stock..
