and 19.65 TMC from River Krishan (1 TMC = one thousand mission cubic feet = 28, 316, 846, 592 litters) drilling 130000 kilometer of pipeline that is 3 times of circumference of earth, leading to 26 internal grids, 16 intake wells, 110 water treatment plants, 35573 OHRS (Overhead Service Reservoirs) 62 Intermediate pumping stations covered by 182 Megawatts of Electricity with water supply capacity of 100 LPCD (Liters per Capita per Day for Rural areas) 135 LPCD to Municipality, 150 LPCD to Municipality Corporations and 10% for the industrial needs.

The Govt of Telangana decided to empower women with a task of overseen the water supply system in every village and collection of taxes.
