According to irrigation department sources, drinking water crisis looms large over Hyderabad as water levels at Nagarjunasagar reservoir has plunged to 520.5 feet from full reservoir level of 590 feet raising alarm bells over drinking water supply to the city.
According to officials if the water levels fall below the minimum draw down level (MDDL) of 510 feet then water will have to be pumped with high pressure pumps. The exercise will not only put additional burden on the Hyderabad water board but also makes it difficult to meet the daily needs of over 430 MGD (million gallons per day).
Osmansagar, Himayatsagar, Singanoor, Manjira, Akkampally (Krishna phase I, II and III) are the major sources of fresh water for the city and account for 430 million gallons of water per day. The small reservoirs situated around the Hyderabad city were not filled up to full level during the last monsoon leaving the water board to depend heavily on Krishna waters.
