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.
