The countries which suffer from scarcity of water like Qatar have also found sustainable desalination procedures unlike cities in India, where there is availability of water, but still the water profile in Hyderabad is in worst shape running in hourly supply chain, very bad billing and collection system. Hyderabad must institute scientific study with economic approach towards water conservation, supply and to do this the city has to learn to utilize the funds, namely the smart city fund and Amrut fund which was sanctioned years ago by the government’.
