JALAM JEEVAM BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY: MAYOR ON 02.02.2018

H.W.Mayor, GHMC Bonthu Ram Mohan observed that Jalam Jeevam programme meant to recharge ground water should be taken seriously to improve ground water table in and around GHMC to reduce the burden on drinking water. Instead of arresting the rain water within these areas, it was being drained down to rivers and from there, drinking water was being brought by pumping at huge cost to the city. He said this during a meeting on Jalam-Jeevam at Metro Water Board Office, Khairatabad on Friday the 2nd February 2018. He recounted that once Hyderabad was a city of lakes and there was sufficient ground water available. Presently the scene is entirely different. Even in bore wells water once used to be available within 150 to 200 feet, but has gone down to 1000-1500 feet. Hence there was every reason to propagate and construct huge number of rain water structures to arrest rain water and recharge ground water for future generations and avoid water problems. Sri.M.Dana Kishore, IAS, Managing Director, HMWSSB speaking on the occasion said that it was for the first time, the Board was taking up a novel scheme of arranging bank loan for construction of Rain Water Harvesting Structures to the customers of Board. He explained the Board’s regular payers of water bill and interested to take up RWH structure, suitable loan amount would be arranged from Bank and Board would collect the loan amount from the customer and pay back to the Bank. The interest on the loan would be borne by the Board. He requested the Bankers to take up atleast two RWH structures in their vicinity under community responsibility. The Managing Director informed that the Board’s officials had donated one-day salary towards RWH fund. Similarly, the Board started an Account in the Bank for raising public donations for propagation of RWH within ORR limits. The Board’s Engineers’ Association had donated Rs.1.00 Lakh to this fund. There was every need for undertaking wide publicity about the benefits of RWH. NGOs, School, College students, audio-video cassettes, pamphlets, stickers, etc., would be used in this task, he added. On the occasion, H.W.Mayor, GHMC launched a mobile App for monitoring the progress of RWH Structures, released Posters, audio-video Cassettes, stickers and also flagged off autos with public address system and stickers. Similarly, water tankers pasted with water proof stickers on Jalam-Jeevam were also flagged as part of publicity campaign.

SRI. KT.RAMA RAO, HON

Sri.K.T.Rama Rao garu Hon’ble Minister for MA&UD has launched the 20 KL Free Drinking Water Supply Scheme on 12th January 2021 in presence of various Ministers and Peoples Representatives at SPR Hills, Rehmat Nagar, Hyderabad.

The Scheme will benefit over 9 lakh households in the city. Despite financial constraints in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, the Chief Minister has declared the scheme with commitment towards the welfare of the Poor and Needy.

The Rs. 500/- Crore burden arising due to the implementation of the scheme will be borne by the Government, said Minister KTR.

Domestic consumers need not pay water bill for using less than 20,000 litres water per month. For water use above 20,000 litres, consumers have to pay a tariff as per meter reading. All eligible customers of the scheme are required to link their Aadhaar Card to their CAN numbers, said the Minister on occasion.

When other metro cities like Chennai suffering from scarcity of drinking water and the same was being transported through trains from far-off places, it is due to the farsightedness of CM KCR that Hyderabad was not facing such problems, the Minister said. Hyderabad is being supplied safe drinking water with great efforts of HMWSSB from River Godavari and Krishna and various projects like Ring Main and Keshavapuram that are being taken up to ensure that there will  not be any shortage of drinking water till 2048, said Minister Sri KT Rama Rao.
