With our revived efforts towards our movement, one of our team members, Ms Nikhila Mallela filed an RTI application on 23/11/2011with Rain Water Harvesting Cell of HMWS&SB seeking information about the Rain Water Harvesting pits and about the progress regarding the mandatory RWH construction in all newly built homes and buildings with more than 300 sq mts in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. We have got a response for the RTI filed and the outcome has been dismal. The idea of filing the RTI popped up from the news article in CNN IBN mentioned in the article below; the outcome has given more power to fight for our movement.

Rs 19.75 CRORES” is the amount collected so far from the residents of Hyderabad  since 2005 for the construction of the Rain Water Harvesting pits but only 24-25% work has been done as of today. The RWH cell does not even have proper resources to fasten the construction work, which can never be used as an excuse. The amount collected had neither been used nor been refunded to the residents. Does it lead to another Scam??? The answer lies with the Rain Water Harvesting Cell of HMWS&SB and the Government of Andhra Pradesh.

People reading this article would like to support our cause or would like to sit back is a choice left to them, but don’t forget the money taken was ours for our own betterment and we have the right to ask about our money.

 

The response from the RWH Cell of HMWSB&SB is below

Water Supply in slums: Residents of Mehdipatnam Slums are being supplied with water once in a month,  it is happening from last 4 months.And also they are not supplied with clean water, even people are not taking steps to purify the water.On the whole there are  4000 homes in mehdipatnam slums on avaerage of 6 members per house with 4 to 5 small tanks.Only 25% of th area has a muncipality water facility but remaining 75% them are suffering with water scarcity problem.Even that 75% of Slums receive water through the water tanks, each home gets around 5 pots of water, which would be not sufficient for family of 6 members for one month.

WATER HYDERABAD Signature camp at ORACLE on 26-Apr-09

 

Water Hyderabad, which was launched on the World Water Day, 22nd March'09 took few steps further in its action towards implementing the plans.

Some of the messages delivered throughout the campaign.

Drink a glass of water and satiate your souls, simple isn’t it? But, have you ever thought how our lives would be without the lement called WATER?.Giving a thought is as simple as gulping down a glass of water in to your body. Yes, results would be disastrous . Signs of the disaster have already started in parts of the world and our very own country. Water crisis may lead to war between countries and states or a civil war may breakdown, if an action is not taken to conserve and optimally use “the Precious”.

We couldn’t predict current “Recession”. It was our imbalanced financial system which got us in to it. We are acting in the same way consuming all our resources beyond recovery.

A Successful Water Hyderabad Walk ( 22-Mar-9) 

Message to peopleWater Hyderabad project is geared up and got a good beginning.The response from the participants shows that results will be effective. Those who has initiated the project got a strength to continue their efforts to reach Water Hyderabad campaign goals. Water Hyderabad project has started with an objective to spread the message of water conservation / water harvesting needs. Also, to ask the government to use its governance and make the water harvesting pits in every  house in Hyderabad.

        The rally started from  Mahathma Gandhi Statue- Paradise, 8.30AM. The gathering included 300 people from different sectors of the city including -

Masab Tank Govt. School students, volunteers from different NGOs – Vridhi, HARD, Prerna, Sayam Cheddam, First Ray Foundation , Helping hands 4 all, Digital Logix, SAVE, Right to walk and many other individuals. 

The message is “Conserve paani more than money” as we have been using (WATER)

which we have never earned. And it is the right time we should pay back for the services of water.

          Each participant’s support is an inspiration to the other participant. Water conserving slogan itself is the actual orator , not the participant. School children were active participants and they added a new color to the campaign which inspired the volunteers even.Participants holding pots in hands helped us in spreading the message of water scarcity - that we are running short of water and very soon will see empty vessels waiting to be filled with water , in every house. 

               SAVE organization has started a campaign “Sujalam”  which started by a walk from Indira Gandhi park – Lower tank bund and joined “Water Hyderabad” campaign at Mahathma Gandhi Statue – Paradise, to make this project cause specific that impacts more. Walk went on with the slogans , display boards and empty pots to ask humans to conserve water. It has culminated at Swamy Vivekananda Statue at Tank Bund .
