Rain in Mumbai: When will the city's water supply return to normal?
The water stock in the lakes that provide drinking water to Mumbai was 68.06% as of Friday morning. Modi Sagar lake reached its maximum capacity on Thursday as torrential rains pounded sections of Mumbai.
One of the seven water sources that feed water to Mumbai is the Modi Sagar lake in the Thane district of Maharashtra. With this sum, 3 of the 7 lakes that provide water have reached their maximum capacity.
According to authorities, two of the dam's gates were opened, allowing 6,000 cusecs of water to be released, due to the lake's water capacity. After Tulsi Lake, Vehar Lake, and Tansa Lake, this is the fourth fresh water providing lake to overflow as a result of the recent severe rain.
When will the 10% water reduction cease once it rains in Mumbai?According to Indian Express, the 10% water restriction enforced across the city won't cease until the combined supply in all seven lakes exceeds 70%.
There is a probability that the entire capacity may reach 70% on Friday since the IMD has predicted extremely heavy rain for Friday and has issued a yellow signal for Mumbai. If this occurs, the city can return to its regular water supply within one or two days.
