The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The BMC opened two gates of the Middle Vaitarna dam early Monday after the reservoir level touched 282 metres against its full supply level of 285 metres, following strong monsoon inflows.
- Water released from the dam flows into Modak Sagar, one of Mumbai's seven supply lakes.
- The city's total water stock has risen to 88% of capacity, or 12.79 lakh million litres, a sharp recovery from just 7.18% on July 1.
- This eases earlier concerns over water security, though the city is still under a 10% water cut.
What to watch next
- Whether the BMC lifts or reduces the 10% water cut as lake levels improve
- Further gate openings or releases from Upper Vaitarna as reservoirs approach full supply levels
- Continued monsoon rainfall over the catchment areas through the season
