Dewatered lakes will cause water shortage	15.10.2019
Hyderabad: The government"s attempt to dewater city lakes could affect replenishment of aquifers and leave the city short of groundwater in the summer. The lakes are being dewatered for Mission Kakatiya. Experts like Dr B.V. Subba Rao said lakes are the best for continuous replenishment of the aquifers. Since water was not allowed into the lakes, the city could face a difficult summer. "The government and its civic bodies have been bleeding the city dry by dewatering the lakes. The city cannot collect more rainwater that has run off from the roads," Dr Rao told Deccan Chronicle. He added that the city was facing a problem of severe inundation problem because the nalas that feed into the lakes have been blocked.

KCR's words enable encroachers	15.10.2019
Hyderabad: The government"s proposal to scrap Government Order 111, which creates a 10-km pollution-free zone around the Osmansagar and Himayatsagar, has resulted in rampant encroachment of the channels that bring water to the two reservoirs. Though successive governments have systematically damaged the reservoirs" infrastructure, the present dispensation has decided to bring the axe down on GO 111 claiming it was hindering development in the area. Cutting across party lines, almost every politician, industrialist and businessman owns establishments in violation of GO 111. Due to the damage to the inlet channels caused by the encroachments, the two reservoirs, created a century ago to prevent floods and provide drinking water to the city, did not receive any water though the state received heavy rainfall this season. Officials of the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board claimed that they had cleared the feeder channels between March and May. The lakes did not get water as ...

Hyderabad: Houses in Renukanagar, in Dammaiguda, were inundated with water after Saturday night"s rainfall. The houses are still submerged 48 hours after the rains stopped. Bal Raj, a resident of the colony, who opened his house doors only to let water in, said: "There was earlier a kachha bund near the water body, and this had never taken place. But for the last three-years, our houses are filled with water every time it rains." The houses are thought to have been built on illegal land parcels that were grabbed from lake beds. Asked if the house was legitimate, Mr Raj said he had purchased the house not the land. "We have no particular document which can clarify whether the land on which our house is built is legal.

Hyderabad: Residents of Yapral, Alwal, Sainkpuri, Ammuguda, Tirmulgherry crossroads, Bolaram, Lothku-nta, Kowkoor and the military area surrounding the Defence Engineering College were in for a rude shock on Friday evening as their colonies were water-logged, making it difficult for them to move out from their homes.

Now, the water is out on the streets and all roads are waterlogged, triggering a massive traffic jam," said Manoj Mathur, a resident of Alwal who runs businesses in Lothkunta. The level of water increased suddenly and even the highland areas in the whole eastern belt were in knee-deep water. The water, instead of decreasing, was only increasing, making it difficult to understand where it was coming ...

Areas like Madhapur, Hitec City on the western corridor received a strong rain-lashing similar to areas like Kapra and Dr A. S. Rao Nagar along the eastern corridor. Those who started in the afternoon at 2 o"clock were stuck in traffic for more than two hours to reach from one end to another. "The storm water drain at Nectar Gardens is overflowing and has made its way onto the road, this is in turn slowing the traffic coming from Inorbit Mall road," said  S.
