HMWSSB 'Musi River to swell as Himayat Sagar floodgates open'

The Musi River in Hyderabad is set to swell as Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) officials have lifted the floodgates of Himayat Sagar.

On the evening of Sunday, June 28, the officials opened the floodgates of the reservoir to



release 1,000 cusecs of surplus water.

The decision was taken after the water level in the reservoir increased due to heavy rains in the upstream areas.

Following the heavy rains in Hyderabad, the inflow into the reservoir increased.
