What this assessment includes

Included in this result

  • Groundwater: Before and after monsoon groundwater bands are available for 2023-24.
  • Long-term availability: Both 2025 and 2050 published availability classifications are available.

Not included in this result

  • Rainfall: Official rainfall context is not currently integrated into this JalWater result.
  • Reservoir or supply context: Official reservoir or municipal-supply context is not currently integrated into this JalWater result.
  • Water quality: Official water-quality evidence is not currently integrated into this JalWater result.

Scope

District-level evidence for Mumbai, Maharashtra. Reporting periods: 2023-24, 2025, 2050. Last checked 29 Jun 2026. Neighbourhood, building, borewell, tap-water, and current supply conditions may differ.

Confidence: Moderate

Moderate confidence. The displayed records match Mumbai, Maharashtra, and groundwater and long-term availability pairs are comparable within their published periods.

Confidence describes how well the evidence supports this result. It is not a safety, suitability, or city-quality rating.

Why this matters

The same official availability classification appears for both published periods. This does not establish a trend between them, so JalWater preserves the published bands without filling in the years between.

Groundwater depth does not show how much water is sustainably available, whether taps receive reliable supply, or whether the water is safe to drink.

Seasonal groundwater bands

Exact technical bands are shown as published in metres below ground level (mbgl). A lower depth means groundwater was recorded closer to the surface. JalWater does not convert ranges into point measurements, line charts, or trends.

The published range band is the same across these years. JalWater preserves the official published bands instead of inventing a false trend.

2025 and 2050 outlook

Only the two official published periods are shown.
