Hyderabad Reservoirs Release Water Due to Heavy Rainfall
Imagine two big water tanks, Himayathsagar and Osmansagar, are overflowing because of heavy rain.
Officials are letting some water out from them to keep the tanks from getting too full.
They are releasing a lot of water, which will be flowing out of the reservoirs from the evening onwards.
The rain has been hitting hard in the areas around the tanks and the officials are watching closely as more rain is expected later.
