The current water stock in the city is less than the water stock we had on the same day last year, creating concerns about water scarcity, particularly if the monsoon is 
delayed again.

As of May 7, the lake levels in Mumbai were down to 22 percent, as compared to 26 per cent last year. Though the current stock will last till the end of June end, the state government has already informed all the municipal corporations to use water judiciously, as there are chances of delayed arrival of rains. Mumbai already asked for a reserve stock of water, in case of a shortage in June.
