Hyderabad has initiated water saving measures to address potential challenges arising from El Niño conditions. Authorities are prioritizing the conservation of groundwater and ensuring the supply of drinking water.
Residents have been advised to reduce their household water consumption by 20 percent. They are also urged to use water judiciously for other purposes.
The public has also been requested to conserve household electricity. Officials stated that reducing electricity usage would consequently decrease the operation of water pumps.
These measures are specifically for Hyderabad, the national capital. The decisions were made as a precautionary step to prevent water scarcity due to El Niño.
The government has warned that water connections will be cut if the public does not cooperate. It has emphasized the mandatory adherence to water saving measures.
Special programs will be launched to educate the public on water conservation and electricity saving. The aim is to prevent future water problems.
