The historical twin reservoirs of Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar, which were dismissed as redundant by the previous government in an effort to promote real estate development in the catchment areas of both the tanks, are going to be the saviours for the city residents this summer too.
While 64 million litres of water is being drawn from the Osman Sagar for drinking water requirements of the city throughout the year, the draw from the Himayat Sagar too have increased since the onset of summer.
From seven million litres at the beginning of the year, the supply from Himayat Sagar has increased to 13 million litres, almost doubling in quantity.
