Mumbai's seven key lakes have crossed 90% capacity after heavy rain, offering relief for the city's water supplies. The India Meteorological Department has forecast more showers across Mumbai this week, according to NDTV Profit. The lakes, which supply drinking water to the metropolis, had dipped below normal levels earlier this year. The latest rains have pushed them past the 90% mark, easing fears of cuts. The IMD predicts continued wet weather, with moderate to heavy spells likely in the coming days.
