Water Levels Lower Compared To Past Years

The current stock is slightly lower than the corresponding levels recorded in previous years. On September 18, 2025, the seven reservoirs held 99.02 per cent of their useful capacity, while the figure stood at 98.64 per cent on the same date in 2024.

The latest rise comes as Mumbai continues to receive intermittent monsoon showers. The BMC's data also shows that several reservoirs had reached or crossed full capacity earlier during the monsoon, with Vehar and Tulsi beginning to overflow in July, followed by Tansa and Modak Sagar. With the combined reservoir stock now close to full capacity, Mumbai's water supply position remains supported by the substantial storage accumulated during the monsoon season.
