The HMWSSB has issued a flood warning for Hyderabad’s twin reservoirs, Osmansagar and Himayatsagar, following a significant increase in water inflows and rainfall forecast in their catchment areas. While inflows have been steady over the past week, Wednesday saw a sharp rise, prompting gate releases to manage water levels.

The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) issued a flood alert for the Osmansagar reservoir, which is just two feet below its full tank level. Officials warned that floodgates may be opened this afternoon to release excess water.

HMWSSB has opened floodgates at Osmansagar, Himayatsagar and Manjeera Barrage following heavy inflows from monsoon rains. Officials said inflows were recorded earlier than usual, while Hussain Sagar also received high inflows. Water levels in all reservoirs are nearing full capacity

In 2020, 20-year-old Shaik Aamir was swept away in Musi River after reservoir gates were opened. His body was never found. Six years later, his parents, already struggling with health and financial issues, continue to live with the tragedy.

Heavy catchment rainfall has increased inflows into Himayat Sagar, prompting the opening of three gates and the release of 1,400 cusecs into the Musi River. Osmansagar also recorded rising water levels, with inflows from upstream areas continuing steadily.

HMWSSB officials are closely monitoring inflows into the Osmansagar and Himayatsagar reservoirs. While Osmansagar remains below capacity, Himayatsagar is near full tank level with steady inflows. Residents in low-lying areas and along the Musi River have been asked to stay alert.

The HMWSSB has warned of a possible opening of floodgates at the Himayatsagar reservoir due to rising inflows from continuous rainfall in the catchment areas. Authorities, including revenue and police departments, have been advised to implement flood standard operating procedures (SoPs) and prepare for potential downstream impact.
