Conserve water else Hyd will go Bengaluru way, court tells state
After additional advocate general Mohammed Imran Khan furnished an expert committee report on Wednesday, the court said the state should assess urban households lacking rainwater harvesting facilities and take corrective action.
“There is a need to take up similar measures in rural areas. State should promote water recycling plants even for smaller habitations. Steps should be taken to ensure groundwater is not depleted and precautions should be taken while allowing borewells. The state should also consider introducing water preservation in curriculum for classes 3 to 5 in schools across Telangana and higher level of information for classes 6 and above,” the bench said. Accepting the recommendation furnished by amicus curiae D Prakash Reddy, the bench directed the state to constitute watchdog committees and sought a status report by March 26.
