Hyderabad Reservoirs Boosted by Recent Rainfall
Hyderabad has two big water tanks called Himayatsagar and Osmansagar.
In the last two days, rain fell across the city and sent more water into these tanks.
Himayatsagar got a lot of water, about 400 cusecs, and its level rose to 1,760.80 feet.
Osmansagar got 150 cusecs and rose to 1,783.35 feet.
The water board is watching the levels closely and hasn’t opened the gates yet because the tanks are still below their maximum limits.
This extra water helps keep the city’s drinking water supply safe during the monsoon season.
Moderate rainfall over two days has increased inflows into Hyderabad's twin reservoirs.
Himayatsagar is receiving 400 cusecs, water level 1,760.80 ft, 2.138 TMC stored.
Osmansagar is receiving 150 cusecs, water level 1,783.35 ft, 2.241 TMC stored.
Neither reservoir has opened gates because levels are below full reservoir level limits.
The inflows boost Hyderabad's drinking water security amid ongoing monsoon showers.
