Groundwater levels in Telangana are declining daily. This situation is a result of lower rainfall recorded across the state this year due to the El Niño effect.
Officials are urging everyone to use water judiciously. They emphasized the need to conserve water for future requirements.
The Hyderabad metropolitan area, the state capital, has approximately 1.45 million tap connections. These connections contribute to a large volume of water consumption.
Officials estimate that saving 20% of water daily in Hyderabad could result in a surplus of 302.8 million liters. This demonstrates the potential for water conservation.
Authorities are advising all residents across the state, not just in Hyderabad, to adopt similar water conservation practices. They stressed the importance of using every drop of water carefully.
Officials expressed hope that adhering to water-saving measures could help mitigate the problem of depleting groundwater levels in the state.
