Various areas face serious water crisis in Hyderbad
About dozen of colonies along with
Himayat Sagar and Osman Sagar lakes are suffering from harsh conditions of
water scarcity since one month. Various water supply agencies like Hyderabad
Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) took over the
responsibility of drinking water supply to all rural areas inside the ORR from
April 1, 2017. All the households get the water supply 2 3 times a week under
the Rural Water Supply Scheme (RWSS) and also from available borewells.
Conditions of various big villages
like Kismatpur, Himayatsagar (partly), Hydershakot, Peeram Chervu, Gandamguda,
Neknampura, Puppalaguda, Khanapur, Narsingi and Manikonda worsens after the
takeover by HMWSSB.
It is observed that the colonies near
Gandhamguda and the Telangana Police Academy have the worst situation with the
supply of water once in 1 – 2 weeks. Approx 20 percent households are suffering
due to the infrequent supply of Krishna water as per told by the Sarpanch of an
area.
Due to the worst conditions localities
have to depend upon private water suppliers and purchase drinking water at
higher rates. However to make higher profits the private suppliers are
supplying the drinking water to Gachibowli and nearby areas.
Water ATM’s at various critical areas
can be installed in order to curb the menace created by water crisis.
