Belagavi city is facing acute drinking water scarcity. Residents of the city that receives an annual average of 1,400 mm rainfall are facing the second driest spell in a decade.
Rainfall has been delayed by over two weeks. Most of the wells and borewells have dried up and tap water supply is unreliable. Water supply has also been significantly reduced in the 10 wards where the round-the-clock water supply scheme is operational.
The district administration and city corporation officials are tasked with supplying drinking water. They are resorting to water supply from tankers.
