Heavy monsoon rainfall has significantly improved water storage at Navi Mumbai's Morbe Dam, which is now 57.82 per cent full. The NMMC says the city has enough drinking water to last for the next 166 days, until December 22.

Managed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), these water sources form the backbone of Mumbai’s daily water supply. Interestingly, only two of the seven lakes, Vihar and Tulsi, are located within Mumbai’s boundaries, while the remaining five are situated in the neighbouring districts of Thane, Palghar and Nashik regions
