How dependent is each area on borewells and tankers versus a reliable piped supply? Lower scores mean heavier tanker/borewell reliance, especially through peak summer.
Every dot is an area, coloured by its water security score. Search to find yours, then tap a dot for the score and the full area read. Dot positions are approximate — for orientation, not a precise boundary.

Hyderabad is India’s most groundwater-stressed major city. The Central Ground Water Board classes 26 administrative units across GHMC, Rangareddy and Medchal-Malkajgiri as ‘critical’ or ‘over-exploited’, and water-tanker bookings hit a record ~3.36 lakh in May 2025 as borewells ran dry.
The split is geographic. The fast-built western IT belt — Kondapur, Madhapur, Manikonda, KPHB — leans hardest on borewells and tankers while the piped HMWSSB Krishna/Godavari grid catches up with construction. Older core-city localities on the established municipal grid tend to be steadier through summer.

Rapid construction on the western corridor has outrun the piped supply, so many areas depend on borewells over an over-exploited aquifer (26 units are ‘critical’ or ‘over-exploited’ per CGWB). In peak summer, borewells drop and tanker demand spikes — a record ~3.36 lakh bookings in May 2025.
The high-growth western belt — Kondapur, Madhapur, Manikonda, KPHB and nearby ORR layouts — sees the heaviest tanker dependence, because population and construction have outpaced the piped grid.
For reliability, yes — an HMWSSB piped connection is far steadier through summer than a borewell over a falling water table. Always confirm which one a specific flat actually has.
Livability is 11 factors, not one. See how Hyderabad ranks on each:
