Hyderabad: The city is bracing itself for even more intense water woes this coming summer. Going by past experience, citizens know that the duration and the quantity of the water supply will be gradually reduced in the city as summer reaches its peak.

Already, supplies of the precious liquid are dwindling. The city is being supplied with 330 million gallons of water daily, as against the normal daily supplies of 340 MGD. Once the pumping begins from Himayatsagar and Osmansagar, there will be a shortage of 15 million gallons of water per day.
