Only 4% of city gets 24/7 supply’: Report flags massive disparity in Mumbai’s water distribution
Mumbai received only an average of 5.37 hours of water per day in 2024, with only four per cent of the city pockets receiving round-the-clock supply, a report published by Praja foundation on Tuesday found. Flagging stark disparity in water supply in the metropolis, the study shows that slum pockets only receive 45 litres per capita per day (lpcd) as against 135 lpcd water supplied in the non-slum belts of the city.
