Authorities in Hyderabad have decided to implement water-saving measures to counter the potential impact of El Niño conditions. The focus will be on ensuring drinking water supply and conserving groundwater resources.
Residents are advised to reduce their household water consumption by 20 percent. The public is also urged to use water judiciously for other needs.
Officials have appealed to the public to conserve household electricity. Reducing electricity usage will in turn decrease the operation of water pumps.
If the public is unaware of the government's instructions, notices will be issued for black connections. These measures are being taken to prevent water wastage.
These decisions are a precautionary step due to the potential for water scarcity caused by El Niño conditions. This is essential to prevent future water problems.
These measures will come into effect from October 17, 2026. Officials have requested public cooperation in conserving water and electricity.
