    Rapid Urban Expansion Pushes Mumbai’s Water Demand Higher: Shinde

    1 month ago

    Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde informed the State Assembly that Mumbai is receiving a “partially inadequate” water supply as the city’s daily requirement frequently surpasses available reservoir levels. Responding to a query during Question Hour, he said rapid population growth, large housing projects and multiple infrastructure works are steadily increasing the city’s water demand.

    Shinde stated that as of November 15, the seven reservoirs supplying drinking water to Mumbai held around 92% water stock. He added that Mumbai’s daily demand ranges between 4,500 and 4,600 MLD, while its actual requirement based on current population estimates stands at 4,665 MLD. According to him, water pressure often drops in elevated or tail-end areas of the distribution system.

     

    For long-term relief, Shinde said work on the Gargai water supply project, proposed by the BMC, is progressing, with primary engineering nearing completion and tendering currently underway. He noted that the municipal administration annually decides water supply allocation after assessing reservoir levels and projected demand post-monsoon.
