The catchment areas of lakes that provide water to the city received continuous rain on Monday. Civic officials claim good rainfall is predicted so the stock could reach 100 per cent by the end of the month.
Mumbai's current water stock is 14.05 lakh million litres, while the total holding capacity of the lakes is 14.47 lakh million litres. From June to August, the city faced a 10 per cent water cut due to delayed rainfall. However, the catchment areas started receiving heavy rain from mid-July onwards.
Speaking about the rain on Monday, a civic official said that although it was not heavy rain, these showers helped increase the water stock. “There is also a prediction for continuous rain in the catchment areas. So we can reach 100 per cent water stock by the month-end,” the official said.
