The GO-111 is a government order that was issued in 1996 that followed the precautionary principle in order to protect the reservoirs mainly the drinking water requirement of Hyderabad.
The objective of GO-111 is to protect the Osmansagar & Himayatsagar lakes and their Catchments which are drinking water sources for Hyderabad, especially the Old City. The order prohibits the following type of activities in the catchment area of the two lakes up to 10 km from the FTL.
It prohibits Industries, major hotels, residential colonies, and other establishments that generate pollution.
It permits only existing residential colonies in the existing residential use zone.
It covers 84 Villages in Shamsabad, Moinabad, Chevella, Rajendernagar, Mandals mainly.
