After good rainfall in its catchment area, one of the seven lakes supplying water to Mumbai -- Tulsi -- started overflowing on Tuesday morning. This is the second lake to overflow after Modak Sagar.

Mumbai receives its supply of water from seven lakes situated on the outskirts. After heavy rains in June, rainfall waned and the catchment area received meagre rainfall in July and August. This resulted in a total water stock of only 9 lakh million litres in total as against 14 lakh million litres last year. The lack of rainfall forced the BMC to impose a 20% water cut across tjhe city for domestic users and 50% for bulk consumers.
