Even as the temperature continues to rise Mumbai, the water stock in seven reservoirs that supply water to the city has been dropping steadily. With the availability of 3,28,049 million litres water as of Tuesday, the stock is lowest in the past three years. The total capacity of the reservoirs is 14.48 lakh million litres, which is required.

However, the officials at the BMC's Hydraulic Engineer Department claim there is sufficient water till the monsoon arrives. The water stock dropped drastically this year in comparison to the past two years. On April 16, 2017, all the reservoirs had about 5,21,190 million litres of water. The year 2018 saw a slight decline at 5,11,619 million litres.
