Demand To Provide Financial Assistance For Completion Of The Krishna Water Project To Solve The Problem Of Water In Hyderabad
I would like to bring to the kind notice of the
hon. Minister of Water Resources that the capital city of Andhra Pradesh,
Hyderabad is facing severe shortage of drinking water. This shortage of
drinking water in Hyderabad is expected to worsen in the coming years. Against
the drinking water demand of 450 MGD, the Water Board is able to supply only
330 MGD. By 2013, projected water demand is likely to increase to around 480.20
MGD and the present resources available are not sufficient to meet the
increasing demand. To augment the increasing demand for drinking water the
construction of Krishna Water Project Phase -III is essential.
The Water Board has sought Rs. 1690 crore in the
Detailed Project Report (DPR) that it submitted to the State on October 2011.
But the State government, from its resources, is able to earmark only Rs. 30
crore.
Unless the financial grant or loan is provided by the Central Government,
it appears that the Krishna Water Project is not going to take off.
In view of above, I urge upon the Central
Government to provide financial assistance for completion of Krishna Water
Project Phase II Project so that drinking water problems of the capital city of
Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad could be solved. Thank you.
