Hyderabad: Osmansagar reservoir remains dry even after heavy rains #Gallery

Hyderabad: Half the monsoon season has passed, and yet the Osmansagar reservoir has not seen any rise in its water levels. A hundred years since it began supplying water to Hyderabad, water in the reservoir has nearly touched rock bottom. However, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) continues to draw two million liters of water per day (MLD) using emergency water pumps. Though there are ample rains, not much water has flowed into the reservoir mainly because most of the water received in its catchment areas in Vikarabad and Tandur is being used for irrigation purposes.
