Hyderabad, Aug 20 (Maxim News): The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply & Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) on Wednesday issued a flood alert for Osmansagar reservoir, one of the city’s drinking water sources.
The water level at Osmansagar is presently just two feet away from touching the full tank level (FTL), indicating the reservoir is nearing its maximum capacity. With only a minimal rise needed, the water level is expected to reach the brim shortly.
