FTL and Buffer Zone, Check if you are safe from HYDRA
Hydra effect is currently running in Hyderabad. Along with GHMC, HYDRA operation continues in municipalities and villages on the outskirts of Hyderabad city. Hydra is using bulldozers on illegally constructed structures. Blocking encroachments in ponds, parks, layouts reserved for social purposes, and in places belonging to the Department of Industries is causing trepidation in the hearts of the trespassers.
Full Tank Level (FTL) FTL refers to the maximum water level that a lake, tank, or other water body can reach, representing the upper limit of water storage. It indicates the highest point that water can log or traces of water can be found around the lake or water body.
Buffer Zone The Buffer Zone is the designated area around the FTL that is kept clear of any development. The width of the Buffer Zone varies based on the size of the lake or nala (a stream or watercourse). This zone is crucial for preventing encroachments and preserving the natural ecosystem around the water bodies.
