Drinking water project at Hale Unduwadi on course
The Hindu
It will augment supply to Mysuru by an additional 150 MLD and also cater to 92 villages in the region
A mega drinking water project which will meet the long-term requirement of Mysuru and surrounding areas for the next 50 years, is finally beginning to take shape with the civil works underway for the first phase at Hale Unduwadi in Mandya district. The project site is located in the upstream of the Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) reservoir and the terrain and geographical location ensures availability of adequate water even during peak summer when the water level reaches the dead storage level at 70 feet mark, to meet the region’s demand. As the project site is at a higher altitude compared to Mysuru, water can be supplied through natural gravity flow. Once completed, the project - which is being implemented by the Karnataka Urban Water Supply and Drainage Board (KUWSDB) - will augment the water supply to Mysuru by an additional 150 MLD and the city’s supply will increase from the present 250 MLD to nearly 400 MLD and also cater to 92 villages in the region. This is apart from supply to 39 villages in Srirangapatna and 16 villages in Mandya taluk.More Related News
