The State government on Friday informed the Legislative Assembly that there is no shortage of water in the reservoirs for drinking purposes and inflow has been increased in reservoirs of both Cauvery and Krishna basins following monsoon rains in July.
In a reply to the debate on drought, Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda said that there was no fear of shortage of drinking water now, but it was difficult to say when the water would be released into canals for irrigation purposes, he said.
