Heavy rains lash Mumbai

The fresh spell of rains has improved the water storage situation in the lakes supplying drinking water to Mumbai's 17 million population.




Of the total seven lakes, four have started overflowing and the remaining three are expected to overflow soon.

The present water availability in Mumbai is 12,03,860 million litres compared to last year's full level of 12,42,024 million litres, a BMC official said.
