The flood gauge project of the BMC has been put on hold due to the poor response to the tender. The civic body will now re-invite bids for installing flood gauges to record flood water level in different chronic spots in the city. 

Monsoon is the most vital season for the city as low-lying areas get flooded at least eight to ten times in the four months. There are over 350 low-lying areas that get waterlogged. Though the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has claimed to have tackled some of the spots by increasing flow of water, capacity of storm water drainage and holding tanks, pumps etc, there is no data available to ascertain the same.
