Hyderabad water board rubbishes reports of Bengaluru-like crisis

In response to reports and social media speculations suggesting Hyderabad might face a water crisis similar to Bengaluru, the water board has clarified that the two cities cannot be compared. The board emphasized that Hyderabad’s supply and availability surpass that of Bengaluru.

MA&UD principal secretary Dana Kishore highlighted the significant differences between the two cities. Hyderabad receives 2,610 million litres of water daily, serving around 13 million households, whereas Bengaluru receives about 1,460 MLD for a population of 12.9 million. Kishore made these statements during a review meeting with officials from the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB).
