	Tanks of Bombay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Later in 1856, the city faced a severe drought, and an edict was set out relocating all cattle to Mahim, which was the periphery of the city at that time.
		Thousands would gather daily around the tank at Esplanade to collect water, while the government brought thousands of water drums from far off distances to empty into wells at Bori Bunder, Chinch Bunder, and Dongri.
		After regular water supply was established to the city thanks to the Vihar and Tulsi lakes, the tanks were declared redundant and soon became a breeding ground for mosquitoes and consequently filled in.
