The Lake's water depth is reported to have reduced to as little as 0.33 metres (1.1 ft) at some locations, on account of the large inflow of sewage, domestic waste water and silt from surrounding residential and industrial areas.
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has therefore plans to desilt the Powai Lake at a cost of US $9 million.
