According to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, on Friday, the collective lake levels or water stock in Mumbai lakes were now at 5,67,779 million liters of water, or 39.23 percent. During the same time in 2023, the lake levels were at 36 per cent while in 2022 they were near 86 per cent.
Mumbai gets water from Tulsi, Tansa, Vihar, Bhatsa, Modak Sagar, Upper Vaitarna, and Middle Vaitarna. According to data supplied by the city authorities, Tansa's water level is 74.01 per cent. At Modak-Sagar, 57.66 per cent of the water stock is available.
In Middle Vaitarna, 36.14 per cent, Upper Vaitarna, 8.43 per cent, Bhatsa 38.01 per cent, Vehar, 59.77 per cent and Tulsi 89.30 per cent of portable water levels are available.
Public transport services were slowed down by the persistent rain combined with sporadic periods of intense rain that caused waterlogging on several roads and railway tracks. Commuters said that the suburban trains, which are regarded as Mumbai's lifeline, are operating at least 15 to 20 minutes late, reported PTI.&nbsp;
According to the report, a railway official said high tide and heavy rains have caused water to collect on the tracks at Chunabhatti on the harbor line. Since water doesn't flow into the sea at high tide and strong storms, low-lying areas may experience floods, the report added. He stated that there has been a slight slowdown in train movement.
A train engine malfunction caused a delay in services on the Central Railway's Main Line, according to officials. Suburban services operated by Western Railway were said to be "running."
Mumbai's island city had an average of 78 mm of rain in the twenty-four hours that ended at eight in the morning. According to a municipal source, the rainfall amounts for eastern and western Mumbai were 57 mm and 67 mm, respectively.
