The stock in the lakes that supply water to Mumbai touched 92 per cent on Monday. Though it is on the lower side compared to the past two years, civic authorities are upbeat at the forecast of heavy rain in the coming weeks. They expect the reservoirs to be full by the end of this month which will ensure uninterrupted water supply to the city till the next monsoon.

The seven lakes — Tansa, Bhatsa, Upper Vaitarna, Middler Vaitarna, Modak Sagar, Tulsi and Vihar — have a combined storage capacity of 14.47 lakh million litres. On Monday, the lakes had 13.35 lakh ML of water, said officials. The BMC supplies 3,850 million litres a day to the city.
