Hyderabad is a city that is developing rapidly and increasing its limits over the past few decades. As the city is developing very fast, the requirement of water is more. Nowadays the Government of Telangana brings the water from Krishna, Manjeera and Godavari rivers to fulfill the water requirement of Hyderabad city by using pipelines from different projects.

REASON FOR THIS GO

A few years back ( before bifurcation of Telangana ) Hyderabad didn’t have any water supply except natural sources. Himayath Sagar and Osman Sagar ( also known as Gandipet Cheruvu) are the two major water resources for Hyderabad. Back then Hyderabad was completely dependent on these two resources to fulfill the requirement of water. If any construction or development of industries takes place in this area, it will affect and pollute these resources. Due to this the water requirement of Hyderabad will be affected and water will get polluted.

WHY 111 G.O

In order to protect these two lakes i.e, Osman sagar and Himayat Sagar, the Government of Andhra pradesh passed a GO. No. 111 in March, 1996. Before passing this G.O, the government made a committee and conducted a survey about this. Took the suggestions of the Environmental Tribunal.

WHAT IS 111 G.O?

As per this GO. No 111, it focuses mainly on protecting the catchment areas from where the water must be diverted to Osman sagar and Himayat sagar. Catchment areas that are mentioned in the GO come under Bio Conservation Zone. The G.O clearly states that there should be no constructions allowed in 10 kms radius from both Osaman Sagar and Himayath sagar. Therefor, no industrial, commercial, restaurants and any other construction that pollutes water and air are not allowed in this area.
