Mumbai Reservoirs Hold 96.89% of City’s Useful Water Stock

A recent report by Mid‑Day reveals that Mumbai’s seven reservoirs hold 96.89% of the city’s useful water stock. The figure reflects the total volume of water that can be effectively used for municipal supply, irrigation and other essential needs. With nearly all of the useful water available, the city’s water management authorities may have a buffer against the seasonal shortages that have plagued Mumbai in the past. The report underscores the importance of maintaining reservoir levels to ensure continuous supply during the dry months.
