Hyderabad groundwater level falls to 11.10 m below ground

The latest monitoring data released by Telangana authorities shows the water table in Hyderabad at 11.10 metres below ground level. This measurement reflects a continued decline in the city's groundwater reserves, which have been under pressure from rapid urban growth and high demand. City officials said the figure will be used to guide immediate water‑conservation measures and to plan longer‑term replenishment projects. Environmental experts warned that such a drop could worsen water scarcity for households and industries if corrective actions are not taken promptly. The authorities are expected to increase public awareness campaigns and explore options such as rainwater harvesting to stabilize the groundwater level.
