Govt told to conserve KRS water for drinking purposes

Mysuru: The Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) has recommended the Karnataka government reserve 15tmcft of water at KRS dam for drinking purposes till June. It recommended the government release water for agricultural and other purposes only after ensuring that enough drinking water is available in all dams of the state, including KRS which is the lifeline for Mysuru and Bengaluru cities.

KSNDMC director GS Srinivas Reddy said every month 3tmcft of water is required to meet the drinking water demands of Mysuru, Bengaluru, 47 others towns including Mandya, and over 625 villages which depend on KRS dam. "Therefore, 15tmcft of water is required at KRS dam for the next five months," he said.

"Due to the good storage level in all dams, we hope this year there won’t be a drinking water crisis," he added.


Drop in inflow

Reddy said one reason for poor inflow to all major reservoirs of South Karnataka now is poor rainfall after the underground water level is sinking. In summer, underground water is the major source for inflow into rivers. This year, as the underground water table is also sinking due
to various reasons, inflow also has come down," he said.

Ganga Ram Baderiya, principal secretary, revenue department (disaster management, Bhoomi and UPOR), said every year after February all decisions regarding water usage and release from dams are taken by regional commissioners of respective regions.

Kuraburu Shanthakumar, president, Karnataka Rajya Kabbu Belegarara Sangha, said for another 15 days, water is required for several standing crops in Mandya and Mysuru districts. "Sugarcane has been harvested so there’s no major problem. But for other crops, we’re looking for water release for the next 15 days. Compared to previous years, this year we didn't face any water crisis for agriculture," he said.
