As per the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) data, the total water stock in the seven lakes supplying water to Mumbai reached 10,30,218 million litres on Tuesday. This is 71.18 per cent of the total required stock for the season.
Significant rainfall over the past 24 hours has contributed to rising levels, with Middle Vaitarna registering the highest rise of 1.99 meters, followed by Modak Sagar at 1.22 meters.
Among individual lakes, Bhatsa holds the largest volume at 4,36,902 million litres, while Vihar and Tulsi remain on the lower side with 13,206 ML and 3,779 ML respectively.
Notably, Upper Vaitarna’s release was stopped on June 9, 2025, and the Middle Vaitarna WSCOP gate remains closed.
The combined lake system received 678 mm of rainfall, with Modak Sagar recording the highest at 1401 mm.
Rainfall across the Bhandup Complex alone was 4.00 mm for the day. Despite healthy storage levels, ongoing monitoring and efficient distribution will be key to sustaining the city through the monsoon and beyond.

Mumbai airport saves 26 lakh litres of rainwater every monsoon
While the showers that lash the city during the monsoon season invariably throw day-to-day life out of gear for Mumbaikars, causing annoyance, they help Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) save about 26 lakh litres of water annually.
Rainwater harvesting has been promoted globally as a sustainable practice to ensure water is conserved and reused properly. The curved terrace surface of the airport is used to collect rainwater, which is further stored in underwater tanks.
