Telangana officials are calling for advance planning to conserve water and electricity in Hyderabad amid preparations for the possible impact of El Niño. Special Chief Secretary Jayesh Ranjan called for collective action at a meeting held at the Collectorate conference hall.
The measures include reducing household water consumption by 20%, setting air conditioners at 25°C, and conserving electricity during peak hours.
Officials urged households, institutions, and commercial establishments to reduce water and power consumption. This proactive approach aims to mitigate potential shortages.
They also called for greater reuse of treated wastewater and measures to recharge groundwater. These steps are crucial for sustainable water resource management.
Consumers are advised to conserve electricity between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM, as these are typically peak consumption hours. Reducing usage during this period can significantly help in overall conservation efforts.
