Mumbai’s seven major lakes are currently holding 13.55 per cent of their useful live storage capacity as of 6 am on Sunday, June 7, according to the daily water stock report issued by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

The combined useful live storage across all reservoirs stands at 1,96,141 million litres (ML) against the total capacity of 14,47,363 ML. On the same date last year, the lakes had 11.06 per cent storage (1,60,138 ML), while in 2024, levels were significantly lower at 6.35 per cent (91,861 ML). Despite a year-on-year improvement, storage levels remain below normal as the monsoon has yet to set in.
