Mumbai's main reservoirs remain 7.94% full despite Wednesday rain
India
Despite Mumbai getting drenched on Wednesday, the city's main water reserves are surprisingly low, just 7.94% full.
Even though Tulsi and Vihar lakes in Sanjay Gandhi National Park saw some heavy rainfall, they only supply a tiny fraction of the city's drinking water.
Mumbai residents face 10% water cut
The big reservoirs that keep Mumbai running, like Bhatsa, Modak Sagar, and Upper Vaitarna, missed out on much rain this time.
With the India Meteorological Department predicting below-average rainfall for the year, officials are keeping a close watch.
For now, residents face a 10% water cut and construction and commercial users get hit with a 20% restriction as everyone waits to see if things improve by month's end.
