El Niño and low rainfall have dried up the Manjira and Singur reservoirs even as water demand rises, leading to Hyderabad water crisis. To fight water wastage, the HMWSSB is taking two main steps, stopping public wastage and fixing its own problems.

If an individual is found wasting the drinking water that is supplied by Hyderabad Metro department, the Metro Authority can impose fines ranging from ₹2000 up to ₹20,000. This is to reduce the water wastage that has been happening in Hyderabad city for the last few months.
The consequences can be pretty significant if the Hyderabad population does not obey the regulation regarding the drinking water usage. If anyone has found washing their cars or bikes on the streets using the Hyderabad Metro water, they could be facing 20,000 in fines.
This might sound a bit harsh at first in terms of the volume of the find that is likely to be imposed, but considering the groundwater situation, this is pretty much the need of the hour now.
