MUMBAI: With no heavy rainfall yet over the catchment area lakes that supply potable water to the city, the total water stocks have dropped to below 10% of the required quantum, according to the BMC data.
With the municipal body supplying 3,750 million litres of water daily to Mumbaikars, the existing stocks of 1.43 lakh million litres or 9.89% in the seven lakes as of Wednesday would suffice for around 38 days. Last June, the total water stocks were over 2 lakh million litres or nearly 15%.
