With continuous rainfall over Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the water stock in the lakes crossed 10 lakh million litres on Saturday. This water stock is sufficient for seven months of water supply.

The total water capacity of the lakes is 14.47 lakh million litres. If all lakes are filled to capacity by the end of September, the city can look forward to uninterrupted water supply till July 2021. Currently, the water stock has reached 71.72 per cent. The stock in the lakes—Tansa, Upper Vaitarna, Middle Vaitarna, Modak Sagar, Bhatsa—was 37 per cent on August 5.
