Mumbai's lakes, vital for the city's drinking water supply, have reached a near-full capacity, with the collective water stock now standing at 13,88,614 million litres, which is 95.94 per cent of their total capacity, according to the latest data from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

Mumbai sources its water from seven lakes: Tulsi, Tansa, Vihar, Bhatsa, Modak Sagar, Upper Vaitarna, and Middle Vaitarna. The current water levels in these lakes are impressive, reflecting the significant impact of recent heavy rainfall. Notably, Modak Sagar, Vihar, and Tulsi lakes have reached 100 per cent capacity. Tansa Lake is close behind at 98.37 per cent, followed by Middle Vaitarna at 97.47 per cent, Upper Vaitarna at 95.33 per cent, and Bhatsa at 94.30 per cent.

The BMC reported that Middle Vaitarna Lake began overflowing on July 4 due to persistent heavy rains. This was followed by Vihar and Modak Sagar lakes on July 25, with Tansa Lake joining the list on July 24, overflowing at around 4 pm. This sudden increase in water levels has added 17 days' worth of water to the city's reserves in just one day.

Tansa Lake, which is located in the Shahpur region of Thane, contributes approximately 400 million gallons of water daily to Mumbai. It overflowed on July 26, 2024, further boosting the city's water supply.

Tulsi Lake, one of the two lakes that directly supply water to the BMC, also started overflowing on July 20 at around 8:30 am, mirroring an event from the previous year that occurred at 1:28 pm on the same date.
