Hyderabad's water

Krishna and Godavari supply, borewells dry at 1,000 feet

HMWSSB brings water from the Krishna and the Godavari, yet supply still trails demand by around 150 MGD. Our systems help gated communities, towers and homes store, pump, treat and track every litre they get.

Hyderabad's taps are fed by the Krishna via Akkampally, the Godavari via Yellampalli, the Singur and Manjira reservoirs and the Nizam-era Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar, around 585 MGD in all against a projected need of about 735 MGD. In many colonies water still comes on alternate days, and this May tanker bookings hit a record 15,200 in a single day, with Kondapur, Madhapur and Gachibowli among the busiest. From Kukatpally to LB Nagar, we automate sumps and tanks, protect deep borewell pumps, treat fluoride-prone groundwater and put every level on your phone.

How water reaches you in Hyderabad

  1. Step 1

    Distant river intakes

    Krishna water is drawn at Akkampally from Nagarjuna Sagar and Godavari water at Yellampalli, together more than 430 MGD.

  2. Step 2

    Pumping mains

    Treated water is pumped into the city through long transmission mains, joined by the Singur, Manjira, Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar sources.

  3. Step 3

    HMWSSB network

    HMWSSB distributes it across around 2,053 sq km to roughly 14.6 lakh connections, many on alternate-day schedules.

  4. Step 4

    Your sump

    Each supply window fills the sump, and a pump lifts water to the overhead tank, with a borewell or tanker covering the gaps.

  5. Where we take over

    Your tank, automated

    Sensors read every tank, an APCON controller runs and protects the pump, and the app shows it all on your phone.

Hyderabad's water, honestly

What Hyderabad throws at your water system, and the fix for each

Short, alternate-day supply windows

In many areas HMWSSB supplies water every alternate day, and some localities such as Goods Shed Nampally have reported water only two or three days a week. Gated communities with several blocks have to capture each window in full.

How we fix it

A multi-tank level controller fills every block's overhead tank in order from one pump set, starting only when the sump has water and stopping each tank at full.

Record tanker demand in the west

Tanker bookings reached 15,200 in a single day on 30 May, up from an earlier record of 12,000, with Kondapur, Madhapur, Gachibowli, Kukatpally and Serilingampally leading demand. Groundwater has fallen to around 100 metres in some areas.

How we fix it

LoRa sensors on sumps and tanks send levels to the Devyami app, so facility managers order tankers on data, check what each delivery added and get alerts before residents notice a shortfall.

Fluoride and nitrate in groundwater

A study of 44 groundwater samples collected in 2023 found fluoride above the 1 mg/L acceptable limit in roughly 60% of them and nitrate above 45 mg/L in more than a third. Researchers linked the fluoride to weathering granite and the nitrate to sewage and septic leakage.

How we fix it

For borewell-fed homes and communities we install filtration and RO for drinking water, with an RO controller that tracks pressure and treated-water quality.

Borewells failing at 1,000 feet

Borewells that once yielded water at 300 feet are now dry even at 800 to 1,000 feet in parts of the city. A submersible at that depth is costly to pull out and replace.

How we fix it

Our motor driver protects each borewell pump against dry run, overload, under and over voltage and single phasing, so a falling water table does not cost you a motor.

Flooded cellars after a cloudburst

In October 2020 parts of Hyderabad saw their heaviest October rain in about a century; the Musi and several lakes overflowed and some colonies stood in water up to twelve feet deep. Cellar parking and basement pump rooms are the first to go under.

How we fix it

We supply and install dewatering pumps with automatic level start for cellars and sumps, so water is pumped out as it rises rather than hours later.

Through the year

Hyderabad's water, season by season

Summer

April and May bring the tanker rush, as borewells weaken and the western IT corridor leans hardest on bought water.

Dry-run protection and usage alerts →

Monsoon

About three-quarters of the year's rain falls from June to September, and a heavy spell can overwhelm lakes and drains, as it did in October 2020.

Dewatering pumps and UV treatment →

Winter

Winters are short, dry and mild, and cool mornings make a heat pump or solar water heater the economical way to run hot water.

Watch it run

Watch a building in Hyderabad run its own water

This is the same diagram our customers see in the app. The sump and the overhead tank are both sensed, and one APCON controller decides when the pump runs.

  • The pump starts when the overhead tank is low, but only if the sump has water to give
  • It stops at your full level, so the tank never overflows
  • Dry run, overload and voltage faults trip it before the motor is damaged
  • Your phone shows each level, each pump run and each alert as it happens

Questions from Hyderabad

What people here ask us

Our gated community in Gachibowli spends heavily on tankers. What should we automate first?

Start with visibility and control: level sensors on every sump and tank feeding the Devyami app, and a multi-tank level controller so one pump set fills each block in order. You will see what each tanker delivers and where water is being lost, which is usually where the savings begin.

Is borewell water in Hyderabad safe to drink?

Not without testing. Studies have found fluoride and nitrate above limits in many city samples, and levels change from one borewell to the next. We test first, then recommend filtration and RO for drinking water, monitored by an RO controller.

How do we keep water pressure steady across a 20-floor tower?

A hydro-pneumatic system with our multi-pump controller runs up to six pumps as one, using VFD and PID control to hold a set pressure as demand changes. Pumps share duty so none is overworked, and a standby takes over if one trips.

Do you install and service Devyami systems in Hyderabad?

Yes. Tell us about your building, society or factory and our engineers design the system around Hyderabad's water. A Devyami dealer or installer then installs, commissions and services it locally, and every connected controller can be checked remotely through our platform. The first site consultation is free.

Will the automation keep working without internet or after a power cut?

Yes. Level switching, pressure control, schedules and every motor protection run inside the controller on your wall, not in the cloud. The internet only carries the live view and alerts to your phone. The controller keeps its own real-time clock and remembers its delays through a power cut.

Can you automate my existing pumps and tanks without new wiring?

Usually, yes. The APCON Motor Driver takes the old starter panel’s place on the wall, on the pump and tanks you already have. Wireless level sensors reach terrace and underground tanks where running a cable would mean breaking walls. A single-pump retrofit is usually done in a few hours.
