Hyderabad faces substantial water loss due to inadequate rainwater harvesting infrastructure and poor maintenance. Only 35% of households have rainwater harvesting pits, and most are not maintained effectively, leading to clogged systems and wasted rainwater. This contributes to groundwater depletion and increased reliance on water tankers during dry periods. Prasad's efforts have helped reduce water tanker dependency in some communities, but widespread adoption of rainwater harvesting practices is needed to address the city's water challenges.
