BMC is seeking consultants recommended by the Central Water Commission for water management purposes. Environmentalists warn that Mumbai and the wider Mumbai Metropolitan Region are heading toward water bankruptcy. The city currently receives around 4,100 million litres a day from seven lakes and dams against an estimated requirement of 4,600–4,665 million litres a day.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The water deficit is projected to deepen, with demand potentially rising to 6,424 million litres a day by 2041, implying a potential shortfall of 2,324 million litres a day if supply remains unchanged. This crisis has prompted green groups to demand urgent desilting, rainwater harvesting, and increased use of treated wastewater.
