BRS drinking water project scrapped, alternative unveiled
The Morning Standard
|November 07, 2024
THE state government has cancelled the Keshavapuram project contract envisaged by the former BRS regime for meeting the drinking water requirements of Hyderabad city under the Godavari Phase-2 project and instead decided to lift 15 tmcft from Mallannasagar.
The cancelled project was designed to lift 10 tmcft of water from Kondapochamma Sagar and fill Keshavapuram reservoir from where it would be pumped to Hyderabad. Orders scrapping the project were issued by the Municipal Administration department on Tuesday and were made public on Wednesday.
Government sources said that lifting water from Mallannasagar to meet the needs of Hyderabad would save around ₹2,000 crore. Of the 15 tmcft to be lifted from Mallannasagar, 10 tmcft would be used for supplying drinking water to Hyderabad city while the remaining 5 tmcft will be used to fill Osmansagar and Himayathsagar.
