The state government has allotted 1.59 lakh million litres of water from its reserved stock. The BMC already used 63,950 million litres so far. A civic official said, “The expected amount of rain has not fallen in the Bhatsa and Upper Vaitarna’s catchment areas. But the rainy season has started and there is the possibility of better rainfall in the coming days.” He added, “There needs to be continuous rainfall in the catchment area for the water level to increase. The lake levels have already declined down due to the delay in the monsoon’s arrival. We will take a call on imposing a water cut by the end of the month.”
