The BMC has requested access to reserve water from Bhatsa and Upper Vaitarna lakes, which could provide an additional 1.81 lakh million litres if necessary. These reserves are seen as a backup in case the monsoon is delayed or does not meet expectations. The state government has approved the release of 68,000 ML from Upper Vaitarna and 1.13 lakh ML from Bhatsa, though officials stress that this will only be used if the situation becomes critical. Despite these measures, there remains significant concern over how long the city's current stock can last under the ongoing heatwave.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Mumbai Water Cut News Update: BMC Announces 30-Hour Water Cut in Parts of City on February 5 and 6; Check List of Affected Areas.
The looming threat of water cuts is a real possibility if the heat continues and the monsoon is further delayed. Last year, the BMC had to impose a 10% water cut for a month in response to similar conditions, which was lifted in early August after rains brought some relief. As the temperature continues to rise, and with the monsoon season still weeks away, the BMC remains on high alert, ready to implement water-saving measures if the situation worsens.
