Summary:
more-inResidents of Karimnagar town are likely to face a severe water shortage with the water level of the Lower Manair Dam Reservoir fast depleting. The officials of the Karimnagar Municipal Corporation (MCK) were planning to install booster pumps to lift water from the dead storage level in case the water level plummets, however, they were not sure whether they would get the assured water in the dead storage level or it would be all silted up. The people of the town have not faced any water problem for some four decades when the only source of water to the town — the LMD reservoir — was built. After the release of water to protect the standing crops in the command area of the project, the water level had fallen to 3.65 tmc ft. Mayor S.
Ravinder Singh assured that 1 tmc ft of water in the project would be sufficient to meet the drinking water needs of the town one year..
