Mumbai is facing a water crisis, with its reservoirs at just 31% capacity due to low lake levels and a water tanker strike.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has invoked emergency powers to manage water tanker operations during the strike.
Mumbai’s total water stock has dropped to 5.67 lakh million litres, significantly lower than last year’s 9 lakh million litres.
The city’s daily water usage is 3,850 million litres, and current supplies will last only 45 days if no rain or alternative arrangements are made.
Smaller lakes are at higher capacity but contribute less, while major lakes like Modaksagar and Bhatsa run low, risking supply cuts.
The ongoing tanker strike, caused by stricter borewell regulations, is worsening the situation, affecting water delivery to homes and construction sites.
BMC has deployed teams to manage seized tankers and is encouraging water conservation to help avoid further shortages.
