The Story in Brief
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 Indian Opinion
Mumbaikars can breathe easier, but this annual obsession with lake levels hides a bigger problem: leaky pipes and wasted water. The real test will come in summer, not now. Will the BMC finally fix the 25% distribution loss, or will it again blame the monsoon next year when taps run dry?
