Many parts of Mumbai saw waterlogging after heavy rain on Monday, but none of the five lakes benefitted from it. As a result, the total water stock is at 35 per cent. However, as per forecast, there are chances of rainfall in catchment areas of the lakes that supply water to Mumbai.
The two small lakes – Tulsi and Vihar – in the city received 176 mm and 232 mm rainfall in 24 hours till 6 am on Tuesday. While Tulsi had overflowed last week, Vihar filled up to 80 per cent. But these lakes have only two per cent share of the city's total water stock.
