Himayat Sagar Drying up!!

• From Osmansagar and Himayatsagar there has been
  a decline in water supply over the years due to
  reduced inflows and, for the first time in about
  80 years, Osmansagar and Himayatsagar dried up
  in 2003. When full, these two sources were
  supplying 45 Mgd to the city. Himayatsagar has
  dried up again in November 2004 while the
  Osmansagar became dry in April 2005. A study
  found that there has been a progressive decline
  in the percent of rainfall converted into inflows
  into these two reservoirs during 1961-1996 even
  though the rainfall pattern has not changed
  much.
