Only 4% of Mumbai gets 24/7 water supply, slums bear the brunt.
MUMBAI RECEIVED only an av-erage 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 stated. 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.
