Mumbai’s water reserves are critically low. As citizens, here’s what we can do immediately:
- Stop car/bike washing for a couple of weeks; dry clean or wipe with a damp cloth instead.
- Use a bucket instead of long showers.
- Check and fix even minor leakages at home and in housing societies.
- Turn off taps while brushing, shaving, or soaping dishes.
- Run washing machines only with full loads.
- Reuse RO reject water for mopping, flushing, or watering plants.
- Avoid hosing down driveways, compounds, and balconies.
- Use a bucket to wash utensils instead of keeping the tap running.
- Water plants early morning or late evening to reduce evaporation.
- Delay non-essential activities that consume large amounts of water, such as deep cleaning terraces and common areas.
- Report public water leakages immediately to local authorities.
- Encourage societies to monitor overhead tank overflows and install auto cut-offs.
- Restaurants, offices, and commercial establishments should adopt temporary water-saving measures.
- Spread awareness within family WhatsApp groups, societies, schools, and workplaces.
Every litre saved today can help Mumbai get through the coming days.

Mumbai Mayor @TawdeRitu , who inaugurated the flyover on Saturday told me, that there would be zero tolerance for any substandard work and said that she would conduct an inspection of the site on Monday afternoon.
"If, during my visit, substandard work is found, I will be demanding an immediate technical audit and inquiry by a reputed independent institution such as IIT Bombay. Should the audit establish deficiencies in the quality of work, I will seek the immediate blacklisting of the contractor, withholding of all pending payments, and action against the officials responsible for supervising the project. Accountability must be fixed without delay," the Mayor said.

Please use water judiciously. With heavy rainfall unlikely over Mumbai and adjoining areas in the immediate future, conserving every drop is crucial.
While the normal onset date of the monsoon over Mumbai is June 11, current weather patterns do not indicate a strong start to the season.
