According to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the Modak Sagar, one of the seven key reservoirs supplying water to Mumbai, began overflowing after reaching its full storage capacity of 12,892.5 million litres.
In response, authorities opened one gate of the lake by 1 foot, releasing water at a controlled rate of 1,022 cusecs per second.
This marks a significant milestone in the city’s water storage progress during the monsoon season and helps manage the excess inflow while ensuring downstream safety.
