Just like the city, the catchment area has been receiving light rain for the whole week. But as the percolation started, the lake levels are increasing marginally every day. The stock crossed the 80 per cent mark on Friday.

Among the seven lakes, Bhatsa, the largest, holds half of the total capacity. Of the combined 14.47 lakh million litres, Bhatsa alone stores 7.17 lakh million litres. Bhatsa’s water levels significantly influence the city’s overall stock.
