Dependence On Tankers Continues
HYDERABAD:Rain has introduced the much-needed cheer amongst denizens and ended in a rise in the groundwater table in the city. But, in spite of the rains, areas like Erragadda, Ameerpet, SR Nagar, Srinagar Colony, Shaikpet and Saidabad, recorded a poor recharge of groundwater. Though it’s not alarming, the not-so-expected rise in the groundwater table in these residential colonies comes as a dampener to the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board’s (HMWS&SB) efforts to cut down on citizens’ dependence on private tankers.
On the groundwater levels not selecting up in certain residential areas, officials blame it on the rainwater not percolating into the aquifers. “With high-rises and massive apartment blocks coming up in all places and concretisation at a fast tempo, the groundwater recharge is not happening properly,” an professional stated. But, not the whole thing is misplaced as the newest groundwater division report says that Marredpally, Chintalbasthi, Nampally, Musheerabad, Asifnagar and Charminar have observed the groundwater table at a far more satisfactory stage when in comparison to 2017.
In Marredpally, Nampally, Musheerabad, Asifnagar, Masab Tank, Humayun Nagar, Kulusmpura, Bandlaguda, Charminar, Bahadurpura, Khairatabad, Himayathnagar and Secunderabad, the groundwater table has observed a rise from zero.75 metres to a few.90 metres and water shortage could be conquer. “The groundwater table has long past up owing to moderate showers in April and May,” an professional of groundwater division stated. The board’s efforts to provide water in GHMC peripheral areas have helped too.
Officials stated if the table has to go up additional, town must get copious rainfall in June, July and August.
