After weeks of steady monsoon showers, Mumbai’s seven lakes—lifelines of the city’s water supply—have collectively reached 82.07% of their total useful storage capacity, easing fears of water shortages and lifting civic spirits.
 
Key Highlights from the Latest Update:
 
- As of July 20, 2025, the lakes hold 1,187,829 million litres out of a full capacity of 1,447,363 million litres.
 
- Modak Sagar has hit full capacity and began overflowing on July 9.
 
- Middle Vaitarna is at 93.94%, Tansa at 91.43%, and Bhatsa at 77.31%.
 
- Upper Vaitarna stands at 75.98%, while Vihar and Tulsi are at 63.68% and 64.02% respectively.
 
- Rainfall since June has been instrumental, with Middle Vaitarna receiving the highest at 1,747 mm, followed by Modak Sagar at 1,586 mm.
 
Comparative Context and Civic Impact:
 
- This year’s water stock is a dramatic improvement over July 2024, when levels stood at just 40.96%.
 
- The surge in lake levels has prompted the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to withdraw previous water cut advisories.
 
- With continued rainfall forecasted, Mumbai’s water supply appears secure for the coming year.
 
- Overflow events at Upper Vaitarna, Middle Vaitarna, and Modak Sagar signal strong replenishment across catchment zones.
