Water crisis in Hyderabad due to illegal bore wells
Digging of commercial bore wells in residential areas is increasing rapidly to provide sufficient water supply to the residents of apartments in Hyderabad. As a result, the domestic bore wells in surrounding houses and apartments are going dry, causing utter inconvenience to citizens.
As per the Water Air Land and Trees (WALTA) Act, commercialization of bore well water is not allowed in residential areas or city limits.
Groundwater in residential colonies in Hyderabad is being commercially exploited in Hyderabad.
The government has formed several committees to check the usage of the ground water.
As per the Act, these committees will be empowered to raid and seize illegal commercial bore wells, levy fines and prosecute the violators.
This is happening as a result of unplanned growth of the real estate sector in Hyderabad.
