Mumbai to face a big water issue

July, it seems, will bring both glad and sad tidings for Mumbaikars. While the Met department has predicted that it will rain by the end of this week, the water situation in the city is precarious.

Out of the seven lakes that supply water to Mumbai, two were below their lowest drawable levels last week itself ('Prepare for 10% water cuts if it doesn't rain for another week', June 25) and a third has gone below its mark a couple of days back. BMC officials say they are planning to impose 20% water cut and, if that isn't done soon, they may have to hike the figure to 25.

"There has been little or no rain in the catchment areas and that has affected the water stock. We will have to impose a 20% water cut and if that gets delayed, we will have to go even higher to 25 per cent," said a civic official, on condition of anonymity.
