The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has appealed to Mumbai residents to conserve water amid concerns over the availability of water in the seven lakes supplying the city.
The civic body said below-average rainfall in 2026, influenced by climate factors such as El Nino and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), has affected the available water stock.
