The Kalaburagi Zilla Panchayat has prepared a contingency action plan of ₹4.53 crore to tackle drinking water shortage across the district.
As per a Karnataka Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Department survey, 193 villages and hamlets out of the 1,287 villages in the district are likely to face a shortage of drinking water in the November and December months, and it will get worse in the early next year.
A comprehensive plan has been prepared to tackle the drinking water shortage by reviving the dried up borewells and piped water and also drilling new borewells if necessary.
