Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar inflows reduce; three floodgates opened
After a week of heavy inflows, Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar reservoirs in Hyderabad are seeing reduced water levels. HMWSSB opened three floodgates—two at Osman Sagar and one at Himayat Sagar—to regulate water levels and ensure reservoir stability.
Hyderabad: After a gap of nearly one week, inflows to the twin reservoirs of Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar have reduced resulting in the opening of only three flood gates.
After HMWSSB officials noticed a slowdown in inflows from upstream areas with heavy rains stopping, they operated two flood gates of Osman Sagar and one flood gate of Himayat Sagar.
This adjustment is part of the management strategy to regulate water levels and ensure the stability of the reservoirs. Officials are monitoring the situation closely to respond to any further changes in inflow rates.
