Kannada organisations have urged Karnataka and Maharashtra to resolve the stalemate over the Krishna basin water exchange agreement that cav help both the States tide over water scarcity.
Both the neighbouring States are suffering from drought. Most of the districts in North Karnataka like Belagavi, Bagalkot, Vijayapura, Kalaburagi, Yadgir and Raichur are facing acute drinking water scarcity.
The Krishna and the Bhima are drying up. Residents of hundreds of villages and towns who rely on these two rivers are facing shortage of drinking water. This can get worse in the coming days if rainfall is further delayed.
