Mumbai's seven lakes, which supply drinking water to the city, collectively held 12,87,076 million litres of water, or 88.93 per cent of their total live storage capacity, as of 6 am on Monday, August 5, according to the Hydraulic Engineer's Department at the Bhandup Master Control Centre. 

The current stock stays higher than the same period last year, when the reservoirs contained 12,92,030 million litres (89.27 per cent). However, the lake levels remain significantly lower than 2024, when the lakes had 13,02,620 million litres, accounting for 90.00 per cent of the total live storage.
