According to a report by Namasthe Telangana, Greater Hyderabad experienced deficit rainfall during the monsoon season. Additionally, the region is experiencing scorching heat, with temperatures nearing 35 degrees Celsius since September. The severe lack of rain, summer-like temperatures, and dried-up borewells are causing groundwater levels to plummet. These conditions have led to an unprecedented water shortage in the city. The daily booking of over 7,000 water tankers is a clear indication of this critical situation.
