"depleting-groundwater"

15 rain harvesting pits each should be developed in Khammam rural, Kusumanchi, Nelakondapalli, Tirumalayapalem, Wyra, Enkoor and Singareni mandals, where groundwater is decreasing, suggests Collector Muzammil Khan

Multiple reports suggest that the lakes in the city have been shrinking each day, thanks to rapid urbanization and encroachments.

The initiative is being taken up in a joint coordination by the Municipal Administration and Urban Development department, Forest, GHMC, PR&RD, HMWSSB and other departments.
