9. Himayat Sagar Drying up!! • “From Osmansagar and Himayatsagar there has been a decline in water supply over the years due to reduced inflows and, for the first time in about 80 years, Osmansagar and Himayatsagar dried up in 2003. When full, these two sources were supplying 45 Mgd to the city. Himayatsagar has dried up again in November 2004 while the Osmansagar became dry in April 2005. A study found that there has been a progressive decline in the percent of rainfall converted into inflows into these two reservoirs during 1961-1996 even though the rainfall pattern has not changed much.” • Source : http://www.rainwaterharvesting.org/hussain_sagar/hussainsagar%202.pdf
