A flood alert has been issued by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board as the twin lakes of Himayatsagar and Osmansagar are nearing the full tank level (FTL).
“Due to significant inflows during the current monsoon, the water levels in Himayathsagar and Osmansagar reservoirs are approaching their FTL. There is a high probability of opening the flood gates of Himayathsagar Reservoir depending on further rainfall in the catchment area,” says the media release by the civic body that manages the water supply to the city.
