Elected representatives from Mysuru and Mandya districts sought solutions to prevent inundation of villages along the river bank consequent to water discharge from reservoirs during monsoon every year.
They were speaking at a stakeholders’ consultation meeting on implementation of Emergency Action Plan (EAP) for KRS, Kabini, Harangi and Chikkahole dams held in Srirangapatna taluk of Mandya district on Friday.
The meeting, which was inaugurated by Minister for Water Resources Govind M.Karjol, was organised by Karnataka Water Resources Department (KWRD) and the Dam Rehabilitation and Improvement Project (DRIP) to discuss the EAP before finalising it. The EAP discussion was also meant to create awareness on preparation and measures to be in place in case of floods due to significant water release from spillways and crest gates or dam break.
