Budget for water and sanitation needs to be tracked, for what its worth. In Hyderabad, a growing city, investment is going negative, and as such the impact on environment is negative.

10. Observations
Expenditure on WATSAN is very low
and decreasing/constant over four
years
CAG has identified Rs.1554 croresCAG has identified Rs.1554 crores
savings, out of total provision of
Rs.4234 crores, in 2011-12
Expenditure in March is almost 20
percent, and last quarter about 50
percent

11. Observations
Hyderabad takes 66 percent of
funds, in expenditure and allocations
Zero allocations for Pavala Vaddi
SchemeScheme
Many allocations under SC and ST
sub-Plans – targetting can be difficult
Revised 2012-13 allocation for
QQUDA suddenly jumps to Rs.31
crores from a mere Rs.4 crore

12. Observations
While budget estimation for
WATSAN in 2011-12 was Rs.728
crores, expenditure was a mere
Rs.393 crores – a decrease of 46
percent, as per CAGpercent, as per CAG
CAG says HMWSSB byelaws do
not require its audit report to be
placed before Legislature

13. Suggestions
Budget for Water and Sanitation has
to increase by atleast 20 percent
Water wastage can be controlled by
investments on pipelineinvestments on pipeline
replacements and removal of ‘extra’
pipelines.
HMWSSB has to become a
transparent, accountable and
participatory (TAP) organisation.
