The city’s drinking water distribution network consisting of Krishna, Manjira, Singur, Osmansagar and Himayatsagar and the proposed Godavari will be interlinked. Interlinking is crucial as water from any source can be diverted to areas facing shortage. For example, there were complaints of foul smelling water from Osmansagar and Himayatsagar two years back as the water level had reached dead storage levels. Krishna water was then diverted to the areas that were fed by these two reservoirs as they were interlinked.
