  1. Peri-Urban Water Security: A Case of Hyderabad Sreoshi Singh Presentation at the workshop – Adapting to Climate Change and Water Security in Asia June 18, 2013

  2. Growth of Hyderabad • Hyderabad- Located in the southern part of India -capital of the state of Andhra Pradesh. • The city started growing since the inauguration of the HITEC city in 1998 following the SAP • 64 hectares of land acquired by the Government of Andhra Pradesh • 6th largest Urban Agglomeration in the count

  3. Water Insecurity in Hyderabad • Population 5.3 mn (2001) to 7.7 mn (2011) – growth rate 48% • Massive development in real estate-heavy demand for water • Severely stressed peri-urban zones-sharing a common aquifer with high-end users • Surface water bodies usurped for development The Real estate Project (Lanco Hills) towering upto 33 floors in Manikonda, a sought after peri-urban location for real estate growth

  4. Shrinking Waterscapes in Hyderabad • Cascade of tanks built 400 years ago by Nizam rulers • About 3500 water bodies/lakes in the HMDA. • From 1989- 2001, about 3245 ha of water bodies disappeared (constituting 19 lakes) in 50 Sq Km area Source: Prasad et al, 2009)

  11. Impact on women In Aliyabad, Padmashaliwomen suffer from joint pains due to flouride contamination. In Mallampet, women(lower economic group) living higher terrain face problems carrying water uphill In Raviryala, women travel longer distances to bring water, since the number of common water stand posts are limited-leading to conflicts
