Tansa Lake Overflow Boosts Mumbai Water Supply
Mumbai gets its water from seven big lakes.
One of them, called Tansa Lake, started overflowing on July 24 because of heavy rains.
This is good news because earlier, there wasn't enough water, and the city had to use 10% less.
Now, there's enough water for 219 days.
But the people in charge want to wait until all lakes are full before they stop the water cut.
They're also worried because the rain this year might be less than usual.
Tansa Lake overflowed on July 24, boosting Mumbai's water stock to 62% capacity.
Current water supply can last for 219 days.
Heavy rains in early July improved lake levels after a dry spell.
BMC imposed a 10% water cut from May 15 due to low lake levels.
BMC will wait until all seven lakes are full before considering withdrawal of the water cut.
