Mumbai’s seven major lakes are currently holding 9.34 per cent of their useful live storage capacity as of 6 am on Friday, June 19, according to the daily water stock report issued by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). 

The combined useful live storage across all reservoirs stands at 1,35,139 million litres (ML) against the total capacity of 14,47,363 ML. On the same date last year, the lakes had 13.18 per cent storage, while in 2024, levels were significantly lower at 5.33 per cent. Despite a year-on-year improvement, storage levels remain below normal as the monsoon has yet to set in.
