No more Manjira and Singur water for Hyderabad

There would be no more drinking water supplies from Singur and Manjira reservoirs to residents of Greater Hyderabad with immediate effect, consumers now have to completely depend only on Krishna and Godavari drinking water projects.These two reservoirs meet 35 to 40 per cent of the drinking water needs of the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad.

style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) has stopped the supplies from Singur and Manjira reservoirs as per the directions given by chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao who favours utilisation of the water from the two reservoirs to meet the drinking water needs of Medak district under Mission Bhagiratha and also the irrigation needs of that district.
