Lake levels in mumbai

With the increasing threat of global warming, a lot of people in Mumbai are worried about the negative consequences of “climate change” on their beautiful lakes and ponds. They are worried the lakes will dry out, and the city will face a water crisis in the near future. But are Mumbai’s lake water levels declining? I will answer this question in this article. The city of Mumbai is home to several lakes that play a crucial role in the city’s ecosystem. These lakes are also key in water management in the city. These lakes act as sources of water for the city’s residents, as well as serving as important habitats for However, in recent years, the water levels of these lakes have become a major concern due to factors such as population growth, urbanization, and climate change. Table of Contents • • • • • • Declining water levels in Powai lake One of the most affected lakes is Powai Lake, which is located in the northeastern suburbs of Mumbai. This lake was once a thriving ecosystem and was known for its abundant fishing grounds, but today it is facing major challenges such as water pollution, encroachment, and decreasing water levels. The water level of the lake has decreased by over 6 meters in the last decade, and it has become a matter of concern for local residents. The people living in Powai village rely on the lake for their water needs. Declining water levels in Tulsi lake Another lake that has been impacted by declining water levels is Tulsi Lake. This lake is located i...

The city draws water from Tulsi, Tansa, Vihar, Bhatsa, Modak Sagar, Upper Vaitarna and Middle Vaitarna. As per Last year, during the same time, water stock was at 17.35 per cent with 2,51,119 million litres, while in 2020 the water stock was 3,47,123 million litres. The water level in Tansa is at 86.85 per cent. At Modak Sagar, 100 per cent of water stock is available, Middle Vaitarna 64.74 per cent, Upper Vaitarna has 53.98 per cent, Bhatsa 51.06 per cent, Vehar 59.40 per cent and Tulsi has 91.37 per cent of useful water level. According to BMC, moderate to heavy rain in the city and suburbs with possibility of very heavy to extremely heavy rains at isolated places is expected today. The BMC also said that there is a possibility of occasional strong winds reaching 45-55 kmph.

As on May 15, the total water stocks stood at 2.8 lakh million litre or 19.5% while last year on the same date it stood at 3.3 lakh million litre (23%). The neighbouring satellite city of Navi Mumbai last year announced a once-a-week water cut with its existing stock being insufficient in case of a delayed or deficient monsoon. The BMC, though, is unlikely to go the NMMC way yet. Additional municipal commissioner P Velrasu, in charge of the civic hydraulic department, said they are closely monitoring the situation. "We have already written to the state government and requested permission to use reserve water stock of Upper Vaitarna and Bhatsa lakes in case of a delayed monsoon. We are hoping that they will positively consider the same," he said. Last year, when lake levels dipped below 20% in June, the civic body had announced a 15% water cut. The BMC data states currently Tulsi lake has 36% stock, followed by 35% in Vihar, 31% in Tansa and 29% in Modak Sagar. Upper Vaitarna and Bhatsa have 12% and 18% each, and Middle Vaitarna 13%.

The city draws water from Tulsi, Tansa, Vihar, Bhatsa, Modak Sagar, Upper Vaitarna and Middle Vaitarna. As per BMC data, the seven lakes have 5,83,639 million litres of water or 40.32 percent on July 11, against the full capacity, which is around 14,47,363 million litres. Last year, during the same time, water stock was at 17.62 per cent with 2,54,958 million litres, while in 2020 the water stock was 3,17,399 million litres. The water level in Tansa is at 47.57 per cent. At Modak Sagar, 72.64% of water stock is available, Middle Vaitarna 33.91%, Upper Vaitarna has 23.01%, Bhatsa 39.74%, Vehar 46.70% and Tulsi has 64.85% of useful water level. Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted moderate rainfall in the city and its suburbs over the next 24 hours, with a possibility of heavy showers at isolated places. The island city (south Mumbai) recorded an average rainfall of 12.04 mm in the 24 hour-period till 8 am on Monday, while the eastern and western suburbs received 22.12 mm and 12.76 mm downpour, respectively.

Facing monsoon woes? Yes, getting stuck in a train or reaching late to destinations due to watery impact on modes of transport are frustrating, no doubt. Now, consider the fact that these very rains, which disrupt our routine lives, have raised the level of lakes by 2,76,129 million litres, which is 72 days water stock. Take another moment to ponder the monsoon might, which suffices our drinking needs all through the year, and has added 82,819 million litres in just 72 hours. In the last 24 hours, 11 days additional water stock has accumulated in the lakes. As the lake levels dipped abysmally, the BMC was compelled to impose 10 per cent water cut from June 27 onwards. The shortage could have aggravated further if the July month hadn’t brought heavy downpour. So far, the lakes have accumulated 2,76,129 million litres or 19.8 % of their total capacity, which is 14,47,363 million litres. Last year on July 7, the water stock in the lakes was 18 per cent while it was 14 per cent on the same day in 2020.

The seven lakes that supply drinking water to the maximum city are 97.06% full as of August 24. These lakes are Upper Vaitarna, Modak Sagar, Tansa, Middle Vaitarna, Bhatsa, Vehar, and Tulsi, located either in Mumbai at Sanjay Gandhi National Park or neighbouring districts of Thane and Palghar.
