Due to poor water availability in the reservoirs in the district, supply is sufficient only to meet drinking water requirements, says official
Karnataka has hired 978 private borewells and 254 private tankers, besides deploying 35 departmental tankers, to avert the drinking water crisis
The cumulative storage in all the three hydel reservoirs account for a mere 14.9% of the full capacity on July 3, 2026, as against 44.05% during corresponding period last year
The Minister directs the officials in the Minor Irrigation and Irrigation Department to immediately take steps to fill up tanks in Haveri district
State govt. says available storage to be reserved exclusively for drinking purposes
Experts warn that the city’s rapid vertical growth is outpacing water supply and natural recharge, leaving its fastest-growing suburbs more and more dependent on borewells and tankers
