TTD takes stock of water availability in Tirumala ahead of annual Brahmotsavams

With the annual Brahmotsavams round the corner and the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) expecting a huge pilgrim turnout during the nine-day festival, Additional Executive Officer Ch. Venkaiah Chowdary has taken stock of the drinking water reserves in various projects in Tirumala.

Chairing a review meeting on Tuesday, Mr. Venkaiah Chowdary directed the officials to prepare a detailed audit of the water availability and the structural stability of all the reservoirs.

The data regarding water availability, in terms of its consumption during the last five years, should be thoroughly analysed and a comprehensive report submitted by experts, he said.

The officials briefed Mr. Venkaiah Chowdary about the current water reserves, and said that they were adequate to cater to the needs of the temple town till December.

As a precautionary measure, Mr. Venkaiah Chowdary instructed the officials to adopt conservation methods and rationalise water supply with the current spell of rains failing to bring copious reserves into the dams.
