Hyderabad: With rains receding in the city and surroundings, inflows into the twin reservoirs from upstream areas have dropped. Following this, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) closed one gate of Himayat Sagar and three gates of Osman Sagar. Presently, one gate at each reservoir has been kept open.

On August 31, two gates of Himayat Sagar were opened while four gates of Osman Sagar were lifted on September 4. The gates were lifted to drain the floodwater into the Musi and to keep water level in the reservoirs under control.
