Mumbai tightens water restrictions as reservoir levels fall

Mumbai's water supply faces mounting pressure as reservoir levels continue to decline despite the monsoon season. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has imposed a 20 percent cut in water allocation for industrial and commercial users to manage the shortage.

The delayed onset of the monsoon has exacerbated the situation, leaving the city's water reserves below normal levels. The restrictions are expected to impact businesses and industries dependent on regular water supply, as authorities work to balance demand with available resources.
