Mumbai's Powai Lake overflows due to heavy rains

This early overflow puts some parts of Mumbai at risk for flooding, especially since extra water can spill into the Mithi river and affect low-lying areas.
It's a reminder that cities need solid water management to keep people safe during wild weather.

Powai Lake isn't only about water storage—it's home to birds, fish, and other wildlife.
But pollution and invasive plants have been tough on it.
The city is working on plans to clean things up and protect this important spot for the future.
