The issue of drinking water problems for Hyderabad has recently come to the fore. Bangalore is already reeling under water crisis.

Increased expansion of Bangalore..
Bangalore's urban sprawl has increased from 8 percent in 1973 to 93.3 percent by 2023. So far the water resources have not increased. The study said there is a strong correlation between increasing urban sprawl and decreasing water levels. As the whole town is a concrete jungle, there is no possibility of water or the ground water has been gradually falling.
Hyderabad too..
Now Hyderabad is scared by this report. In fact, according to Telangana Pollution Control Board records, there are 185 notified water ponds in Hyderabad. But most of these are polluted and 20 sources have completely dried up. With this, the opinion is being expressed that Hyderabad also has a water problem. Severe water problem has already started in city outcuts. In this background, environmentalists are suggesting that more measures should be taken in the rainwater land. It is stated that rainwater pits should be set up in areas of more than 200 square meters. Otherwise, they warn that Hyderabad will soon become another Bangalore.
