79 Water Supply Schemes Affected by Cloudburst; Restoration Underway, Tankers Deployed: SE Hydraulics South Kashmir
Anantnag, July 13 (KF): Superintendent Engineer (Hydraulics), South Kashmir, Sareer Ahmad said that 79 water supply schemes were affected due to the recent cloudburst, causing extensive damage to source storage structures and pipeline networks.
"The damage was of two types. In the cloudburst-hit areas, source storage structures were completely disrupted and sections of the pipeline network were washed away. At the same time, downstream schemes were affected by high turbidity caused by muddy floodwaters entering the streams," Sareer Ahmad said.
He said that as a precautionary measure, several water supply schemes were temporarily shut down to protect filtration plants from damage caused by excessive turbidity.
"Out of the 79 affected schemes, 38 were impacted due to high turbidity. We have already restored 22 schemes, including water supply to two towns. Supplies are being provided in shifts in some areas to ensure proper distribution," he added.
The Superintendent Engineer further said that drinking water tankers were deployed in the affected areas and continue to operate where pipeline networks remain damaged.
"We are assessing the extent of the damage, and restoration work on the washed-away infrastructure will begin accordingly once water levels recede. A control room has also been established, and water tankers will continue to serve affected areas until normal supply is fully restored," Sareer Ahmad said. (KF)
