Mumbai’s water stock touches 5.37%, further delay in rains may lead to scarcity

The city may have to brace for severe water scarcity, if the monsoon doesn’t arrive by its delayed date – June 25.

At 77,763 million litres, the seven lakes supplying potable water to the city – Upper Vaitarna, Modak Sagar, Tansa, Middle Vaitarna, Bhatsa, Vihar and Tulsi – collectively have only 5.37% of the useful water stock. Civic officials say the amount of water, although at a three-year low, will suffice till the end of July. However, any further delay may spell trouble for the city, which is already reeling under a 10% water cut since November.
