Even though Mysuru district is not facing any drinking water scarcity at present, the Minister in charge of the district H.C. Mahadevappa has advised district administration officials to take necessary steps to ensure there is no shortage of drinking water in the summer.
At a meeting convened by the Minister in charge of Mysuru district H.C. Mahadevappa in Mysuru on Saturday evening (November 25), officials of the Irrigation Department and Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) said the drinking water situation appears set to remain comfortable till July 2025. However, they hoped that the monsoon rains next year will help shore up the water level in the reservoirs.
The meeting comes in the wake of the State government declaring a drought across most of the taluks in the State due to insufficient monsoon rains this year, leading to poor water levels in the reservoirs.
