To overcome the shortage of drinking water in Greater Hyderabad in the future, another pipeline (4) is being constructed, which will cost about Rs 1,400 crore. The pipeline will be constructed in Sunkishala, Nagarjunasagar, and will supply drinking water from the Krishna River to Hyderabad.
The project was announced Monday by the Minister of MAUD, KT Rama Rao, while the foundation stone was laid of Phase-2, Outer Ring Road (ORR), drinking water supply in the Alkapoor Township, Manikonda. This project costs about Rs 687 crore.
After completion of the new line, Hyderabad city will have sufficient drinking water from Krishna River. The project will not help to meet current drinking water needs, but also the needs of the next 30 years.
Moreover, while addressing the state's irrigation needs, the minister said that the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS) will help provide drinking water to Greater Hyderabad.
Other reservoirs namely Kondapochamma Sagar and Mallannasagar also have the facilities to contribute to the drinking water needs of the city.
Chief Minister, K Chandrasekhar Rao has made plans to consider the demand for drinking water for interconnecting the Kondapochamma and Osmansagar reservoirs in the future. This ensures that Gandipet is filled and is not interrupted while supplying water to the city. It will provide sufficient drinking water supply in the city until 2051.
The state's water supply comes from Godavari (Yellampally) and Krishna (Akkampally). There is a permanent solution to the problem of drinking water supply and the surrounding areas if the supply comes from the Kondapochamma reservoir.
