Telangana State government’s plans to fill the twin reservoirs at Gandipet using water from the Kondapochammasagar reservoir resurfaced when the Minister for Municipal Administration & Urban Development K. T. Rama Rao reiterated the commitment, during his address after launch of the second phase of drinking water project for municipalities, villages and colonies within the Outer Ring Road on Monday.
Kondapochammasagar at 612 metres height from the mean sea level and Hyderabad at 530 metres height, make it plausible to draw water through gravity, Mr. Rama Rao said, averring that together with Mallannasagar project, this could solve the city’s ever expanding drinking water needs for good.
Kaleshwaram project, designed for irrigation requirements of the Northern Telangana districts, has a drinking water component for the city too, the Minister reminded, while elaborating on Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao’s plans for city’s drinking water in coming 30 years.
