Understanding HYDRAA’s Mission

The Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) was created to address the severe encroachments on Hyderabad’s water bodies, drainage systems, and lakes. This specialized agency aims to restore natural drainage, prevent flooding, and protect urban ecosystems by demolishing unauthorized structures within Full Tank Levels (FTL) and buffer zones.

The Impact of HYDRAA’s Actions

HYDRAA’s recent operations have cleared hundreds of illegal constructions, significantly improving flood resilience and water retention in key lakes. The image below captures the scale of destruction caused by encroachments and HYDRAA’s efforts to reclaim lake land.
