Summary:
Mumbai gets daily supply from seven lakes — Tulsi and Vihar lakes in Mumbai, and Bhatsa, Modak Sagar, Upper Vaitarna, Middle Vaitarna and Tansa at Thane-Nashik belt. After two days of heavy rainfall, the water stock increased to 8 per cent — 1.60 lakh million litre — of the total storage capacity (14.47 lakh million litre) on July 6. The city receives nearly 3,850 million litres water per day, which means the increase in the stock is equal to the supply for 13 days. While the water stock in Bhatsa — the biggest dam among the seven — increased significantly by 38,208 million litres, there was a marginal rise in storage in the other dams.
