Monsoons have arrived in Mumbai but level of the seven lakes are low

Monsoons have arrived in the island city of Mumbai with spell of bountiful rains but the catchment areas have yet to receive good rainfall because the water level in the seven reservoirs was recorded low as against last year. As per the latest water level chart of seven reservoirs that supply water to Mumbai, issued by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), as on June 26, 96,665 million litres of water was available as compared to 3,32,647 million litres on June 26, 2015.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 27 June 2016.

The seven reservoirs that supply water to Mumbai are Modak Sagar, Tansa, Vihar, Tulsi, Upper Vaitarna, Bhatsa and Middle Vaitarna and, even though there has been decent rainfall for the last few days, it is not satisfactory in the catchment areas when compared to water level of corresponding period last year.
BMC supplies 3,750 million litres of water everyday to the island city and suburbs, which falls short of the actual demand of 4,200 million litres.
