Given the possibility of delayed monsoon, the state government has asked the BMC and other civic bodies about their plans for using the existing water stock. The BMC will not impose any cut but it has asked for extra water from the reserve. There is 31 per cent of stock remaining in the Mumbai lakes, slightly less than last year’s figure.
