Hyderabad edging towards drinking water crisis!

After years of consistent water supply, particularly during the summers, Hyderabad seems to be edging towards a drinking water crisis.

With depleting levels in the reservoirs which are the principle water source for the city and mediocre groundwater levels due to inadequate rainwater harvesting, the upcoming months of summer are bound to be



challenging.

Although few localities experienced water shortages in the past, the overall supply in the city used to be sufficient. However, this time around, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) seems to be less prepared, which is showcased in not just the delayed water tanker deliveries, but also their increased bookings in the first place.
