What historic flood prompted the creation of Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar?

  • Musai River flood

  • 1930 British India floods

  • 1908 Musi River flood

  • 1957 Andhra floods

Answer

The devastating Musi River flood of 1908 left an indelible mark on Hyderabad, leading to the construction of two crucial reservoirs, Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar, as a preventive measure against future flooding. These reservoirs not only provide flood control but also serve as a vital source of water for the city's growing population, contributing to its water security and sustaining its development.
