Keshavapuram project scrapped

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The state government has cancelled the Keshavapuram reservoir project, originally launched by the previous BRS government as part of the Godavari Phase-2 project, aimed to supply drinking water to Hyderabad by diverting Godavari water from the Mallannasagar project to the Keshavapuram reservoir on the city's outskirts. However, the Congress government has now announced a new cost-effective plan to directly supply water from Mallannasagar to Hyderabad, which is projected to save Rs 2,000 crore from the state exchequer. The Municipal Administration and Urban Development department issued formal orders on Wednesday to terminate the Keshavapuram project, which involved intricate detour work to redirect water from Kondapochammasagar to Keshavapuram and then to Hyderabad. The updated plan aims to deliver 15 TMC of water from Mallannasagar, including 10 TMC for Hyderabad and an additional 5 TMC for the twin reservoirs of Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar, which will provide a stable and reliable water supply for Greater Hyderabad.
