30 towns of states of   Telangana   and   Andhra Pradesh   are moaning in the thirst of drinking water as the water levels have dropped to the alarming level of 64 tmc feet in the two major reservoirs of Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar. The Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) has allocated only 4 tmc water against the requirement of 5 tmc feet water to extinguish thirst of about one crore people in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) limits. Every town has the dependency upon the fresh inflows in the left and right canals of Nagarjunasagar which is further dependent upon both sides of river Krishna. The release of water from Nagarjunasagar got delayed as there was no water release from Srisailam dam. Agriculture demand has also risen due to the ongoing Rabi season and farmers have also started disporting water in every manner they can. On January 10, 2017, there was a shortage of 6.16 tmc feet water from the total available water as stated by KRMB officials. Whi

CHANDIGARH: The severe water crisis engulfing Chandigarh and Mohali on Tuesday forced residents to rely on tankers with more than 200 of them being pressed into service, but they too fell short of providing any relief. As work continued to rectify pipelines at Kajauli water works, the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation sent around 50 tankers, while an equal number was used in Mohali. But the arrangements were not adequate as almost 100 more private tankers sold water to residents of both the cities. "A private tanker is costing us Rs 600 and more. We were forced to call them as we had no other option," said R P Sharma, a resident of Sector 34.

BANGALORE: An acute water crisis looms over Bangalore city. For, not a drop of water will flow out of the Krishnarajasagar, the city's major source of water, towards Bangalore as the water level stood one feet below the dead storage level of 65 feet on Tuesday. Confirming this, the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) said as on Tuesday it was receiving 110 MLD of water. BWSSB officials explained this was the water that had been released from the KRS two days back. They are unclear the same amount of water will reach the city on Tuesday. "The situation is grim and we are in constant touch with the Cauvery Neeravari Nigam to release enough water to KRS dam and further to our charging lines. We have also requested the irrigation department to compensate us with whatever amount," said T Venkataraju, engineer-in-chief, BWSSB. Though the crisis has been on the horizon for some time, the BWSSB has no contingency plan to mitigate the acute water scarcity staring
