Listed below are the latest water levels in Mumbai’s lakes. Also listed is the Actual Vs Normal rainfall in 2020 in Mumbai.
The irony is that Mumbai city has received above-average rainfall, whereas Mumbai’s Lakes have below-average rainfall. As of 25 July 2020 usable water in Mumbai Lakes was only 28.73% (4.39 lakh million litres). Usually, by this time Mumbai Lakes should be 60% to 65% full. This is a cause of concern. If this situation continues, BMC may be forced to introduce a water cut from August 2020.
Mumbai Monsoon season 2020 officially started on 14 June 2020.
At the end of the 2019 Mumbai Monsoon season on 30 September 2019, Mumbai lake levels were 99.04% of capacity (in 2018 it was 91.44%). In 2019 Mumbai received the highest rainfall in 65 years. For further details please see Latest Mumbai Rainfall Level.

NOTE: During the first 15 days of Monsoon, rainwater percolates into the soil increasing the groundwater level. So even when there are heavy rains during the start of the Mumbai Monsoon season, the water level in Mumbai Lakes may not show a sharp rise. Once the groundwater level has increased, that is when water from hills flow into Mumbai’s Lakes. Which is why after the first two to three weeks of Monsoon the Mumbai Lake levels start rising sharply.
Monsoon is a magical time for the Sahyadri Western Ghats near Mumbai. The mountains, hill stations, lakes and waterfalls around Mumbai have a special charm during the rains. Listed below are some of the best hill stations and waterfalls near Mumbai:

Mumbai’s Daily Water Requirements And Water From Mumbai’s Lakes
- Mumbai City’s daily water requirement is 4,200 million liters. Mumbai’s Municipality (BMC) supplies only 3,500 to 3,750 million liters of water per day. The gap between demand and supply is met by tankers, wells, bore wells, rain water harvesting, etc.
- Formula used by BMC to determine daily water requirement in Mumbai is 135 litres per person in housing societies, 45 litres per person in slums (almost 50% of Mumbai),135 litres per hotel bed and 70 litres per restaurant table.
- After Tokyo, Mumbai has the second largest Water Supply System in Asia. Mumbai’s water distribution network is 6000 Km long. 2 Master Balancing Reservoir and 27 Service Reservoirs are involved in the distribution of water in Mumbai.
- With a capacity to filter 2,100 million liters of water per day, the Bhandup water treatment plant is the largest such treatment plant in Asia. 4 water treatment plants supply water to Mumbai.
- According to the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, 900 million litres of water is wasted every day in Mumbai. This wastage occurs because of leakages in pipes and theft of water. After this loss of water, BMC is able to supply around 975 million litres of water to the main city (population of 3.1 million), 930 million liters to Mumbai’s Eastern suburbs (population of 3 million) and only 620 million liters to the Western suburbs from Goregaon to Dahisar (population of 3 million).
- Mumbai’a Water distribution network is 6,000 Km long. This amazing water network is designed in such a way that almost all the water distribution is done via gravity.
- 7 lakes that supply water to Mumbai are Bhatsa Lake (built in 1983, located in Thane district), Upper Vaitarna (built in 1973, located in Nashik district), Middle Vaitarna (built in 2012, located in Thane district), Tansa Lake (built in 1925, located in Thane district), ModakSagar Lake (built in 1957, located in Thane district), Tulsi Lake (built in 1879, located in Borivali National Park, Mumbai) and Vihar Lake (built in 1860, located in Borivali National Park, Mumbai).
- The total annual water capacity of Mumbai’s 7 lakes is 14,47,000 million liters. Of these 7 lakes, only Tulsi Lake and Vihar Lake are within Mumbai city.
- Bhatsa Lake provides water to the Eastern part of Mumbai, whereas the other lakes provide water to the main city of Mumbai and the suburbs. Bhatsa also supplies water to Thane and Bhiwandi.
- The two biggest water sources for Mumbai – Bhatsa Lake and Upper Vaitarna – are managed by the Maharashtra state government. The balance 5 Mumbai Lakes are managed by the MCGM.
- Upper Vaitarna is in Nashik district and at a height of 633 Meters. Middle Vaitarna Dam is in Thane District at a height of 322 Meters. Modak Sagar Lake is also in Thane District and at a height of 186 Meters. Water from Upper Vaitarna flows to Middle Vaitarna and from there to Modak Sagar. Water from Modak Sagar flows via pipes to the Bhandup water purification plant in Mumbai. Due to the difference in height, water flows from Upper Vaitarna to Middle Vaitarna to Modak Sagar because of gravity. Since Vaitarna River flows from Upper Vaitarna Lake to Modak Sagar, this is why Modaksagar is sometimes referred to as “Lower Vaitarna”.
- Tulsi Lake and Vihar Lake are the two lakes located in Mumbai, which supply drinking water to Mumbai. Powai Lake is also within Mumbai, but it provides water for industrial use. Vihar Lake has a height of 80.12 meters with a capacity of 17000 million litres. Tulsi Lake has a height of 139.17 meters with a capacity of 8086 million litres.
- Damanganga – Wagh – Pinjal water linking project and the Gargai project are the major new projects to increase water supply to Mumbai. For the Damanganga–Wagh-Pinjal Project, water from Damanganga River (in Gujarat), Wagh River, and Pinjal River (both in Maharashtra) will be diverted to Mumbai. This water will be brought using 2 dams (Bhugad in Nasik and Khargihill in Thane district) and 3 tunnels. This will augment Mumbai’s water supply by a massive 1,600 million liters per day. An additional 865 million liters per day will be supplied once the Pinjal Dam is complete. The Gargai Dam project will increase Mumbai’s daily water supply by 227 million liters. Water from Gargai River (a tributary of Vaitarna River) will be sent to Modak Sagar and from there the existing infrastructure will be used to send water to Mumbai.
- Navi Mumbai gets water from Dehrang Dam in Panvel and Pune gets water from Panshet Dam and Khadakwasla Dam.
In case of water related issues in Mumbai, the BMC helpline numbers are South Mumbai (23695835, 23678109), Western Suburbs (26146852, 26184173) and Eastern Suburbs (25153258).

Flood Risk Dates In 2020 Mumbai Monsoon (High Tide > 4.5M)
In Mumbai, rain water flows into the Arabian Sea through the drain system. When high tide in the sea is over 4.5 meters, there is a danger of sea water entering Mumbai via the drain pipes. In such situations, Mumbai’s Municipal Corporation (BMC) closes the storm drains. When this happens, there is no exit for Mumbai’s rain water. When rainfall is heavy and high tide is over 4.5 meters, there is a high probability of flooding in Mumbai.
Mumbai has 6 Pumping Stations. These Pumping Stations have pumps and big gates. During high tide in the rainy season, gates are closed so that sea water cannot enter Mumbai’s drains. During high tide, drain water is collected within the pumping station. Once high tide subsides, the pumping station gates are opened and the collected water is released in the sea.
Places that are at a low level are at a greater risk of flooding. This a link to Mumbai’s Low Lying Areas that are at risk of Flooding in the Rains.
Listed below are the flood risk dates and time when Mumbai is at risk of flooding during the 2020 Monsoon season.
