In the beginning Hyderabad was one of the cities where shortage of basic necessities are found then by the passage of time Hyderabad was built when people started preferring to live here. As far as Hyderabad history keeps many interesting stories in building of its own worth as same as Hyderabad had faced many issues of basic necessities and one the biggest deprivation of the basic necessity is water crisis in which Hyderabad had to face 150 people’s deaths because of importing poisonous water from keenjhar lake during the crisis of water in Hyderabad in 2005. This issue was raised in united nations as well in which a complete report was published. After this tragic incident Pakistan army strived to remove the shortage of drinking water in Hyderabad in this aspect Pakistan Army located 10 water filter plants in Qasimabad, Latifabad and Hyderabad city which provided much facility to Hyderabad.

Parvez Musharraf started funding in serving water to Hyderabad then a new scheme C.D.W.A (clean and drinking water for all) was started and this scheme served a quantity of people of Hyderabad then this scheme faced many troubles to be continuing, after 2 years this scheme stopped.
