Hyderabad Launches PAANI App to Report Water Wastage Amid Conservation Efforts
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) launched the PAANI app to enable citizens to report drinking water wastage amid concerns of a potential 100 million gallons daily shortage by 2027 due to El Niño. Residents can register as 'Save Water Volunteers' to report violations confidentially, which will be verified and inspected before penalties are imposed. Officials urge households to reduce water use by 20%, repair leaks, and adopt conservation measures. Volunteers making significant contributions will be recognized by the government.
