The increased withdrawal comes with dwindling water levels in other reservoirs and an increase in demand for drinking water.
Along with plans to further draw up to 40 MGD from these water sources during May, authorities are making emergency pumping arrangements at two other reservoirs which are soon expected to hit their dead storage levels. Pumping is said to begin from Nagarjuna Sagar and Yellampally on April 15 and May 1 respectively.
