Even as western Maharashtra and Marathwada regions faceits worst drought situation in 40 years, Mumbai residents need not worry. Officials from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Saturday said the city would not have to face water scarcity this summer, since all the six lakes that supply water to the city and its suburbs continue to maintain satisfactory water levels. In fact all the lakes — Tulsi, Modak Sagar, Tansa, Vihar, Upper Vaitarna and Bhatsa lakes — have enough stock to last till July 31.
