The Mysuru Zilla Panchayat took stock of possible water scarcity in the district due to depleting water levels in reservoirs and plummeting groundwater table coupled with heat wave conditions.
A review meeting was convened on April 3 where Mysuru ZP CEO K.M. Gayatri said that 105 villages in the district have been flagged as likely to face drinking water scarcity over the next two months.
Authorities have tied up with owners of borewells in the private domain to fulfil drinking water requirements in seven villages. Officials and PDOs were instructed to ensure that they tap all possible sources, and ensure that there is no hardship due to water scarcity in any village.
