Mumbai lake levels fall to 5%, no water cut; rains expected to pick up on Wednesday

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: With the city reeling under a dry spell in the past week after an early onset of the southwest monsoon, the water level across the seven lakes that supply water to Mumbai has dipped to a precarious 5.35%. “Apart from that, we have reserve stock that has been approved by the state government if we need to use it.” Despite reports of above-normal rainfall expected for June, it hasn’t been a great start. The India Meteorological Department’s Colaba station has recorded 210.6 mm of rainfall since June 1, 58mm below normal, while its Santacruz station has clocked 128.3mm, a departure of 125.4mm. “We’re expecting the monsoon to pick up surge, as there are westerly winds bringing in moisture,” said Sushma Nair, scientist at IMD Mumbai.
