The dams supplying water to Mumbai have accumulated 26.84 % water reserves in the month of June this year alone.Therefore, to supply water to Mumbaikars at this time every year, the Municipal Corporation has to use the reserved water resources and also has to resort to various measures such as water reduction to provide water facilities to the citizens.But due to the good rainfall this year, all seven dams have accumulated abundant water reserves by the month of June itself.
The dams supplying water to Mumbai have accumulated 26.84 %
This is the highest level of water in the dams supplying water to Mumbai in the last three years, so it is not time for the administration to use the reserved water reserves for water for Mumbaikars.This month, the rains intensified in May itself and all the seven dams supplying water to Mumbai were well filled this time. Compared to the previous three years, the rainfall this year is definitely considered good.Last year at this time, the water in the dam had been reduced by about five and a half percent, while the year before that, the stock had been reduced by about seven percent.But this year, the water reserves have increased by 26 percent rather than decreasing, so this time the water reserves have accumulated four times as much as in the previous three years.
Rains had started falling in Mumbai since the beginning of this week and at the beginning of the week, i.e. on Monday, the capacity of these dams was 8.60%.Later, due to a week of rain, this increase increased to 26.84% and the rain seemed to have alleviated the worries of the municipal administration.In May, the sun is really hot, so strong winds hit the citizens every year. As a result, the water in the dams gradually decreases in June and starts reaching the bottom.This also creates water problems. The administration has to take various measures to supply water to the citizens. The administration implements various measures such as changing the timing of water usage for reserved water and water reduction at such times.But this year’s rains have now allayed this concern in June. Last year at this time, i.e. in 2024, there was only 5% water in these dams, while before that, i.e. in 2023, the water level was 7%, so this year’s water level is very good compared to this year.This has also brought relief to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation administration and has also solved the water-related problems of the citizens.
Current water storage in the dam that supplying water to Mumbai
| Dam | water storage in percantage |
| urdhva vaitarna | 31. 04 |
| Modaka Sagara | 44. 22 |
| Tansa | 29. 13 |
| Madhya vaitarna | 25. 03 |

Current water storage in dam supplying water to mumbai is enough at this time.Last week, the Municipal Corporation started supplying water to Mumbai from the Urdhva Vaitarna dam.However, due to good rainfall, the use of this reserve water reservoir was stopped and the increase was initially eight percent and by the end of the week, it increased by 18 percent.Currently, the seven dams that supply water to Mumbai have an approximate water storage capacity of 3 lakh 88 thousand 523 million liters.The water storage capacity of these seven dams is approximately 14 lakh 47 thousand million liters.Therefore, since these dams were filled well at the beginning of the monsoon season, these dams will definitely fill up during the monsoon season as well and the water problem of ordinary Mumbaikars will definitely be solved soon. Last year, the municipal administration had to use the reserve stock.But this time has not come. Mumbai and all parts of Mumbai suburbs received good rainfall in the month of May and June this year. Therefore, with the good rainfall in Mumbai and the surrounding areas of the city, the water problem of Mumbaikars has definitely been resolved.
