Despite a 10 per cent water cut across Mumbai from May 15, the seven lakes supplying the city are only 19.22 per cent full as of Friday morning. The lakes currently hold 2,78,199 million litres of water against a total storage capacity of 14,47,363 million litres.

Supply shift

BMC usually supplies 3950-4100 million litres of water daily. Following the cut, daily supply has been reduced to 3600-3750 million litres. Without the cut, the existing stock would have lasted only till the first week of July.
