The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Farmer leader N. Yogesh has urged Deputy Chief Minister D.K.
- Shivakumar to purify the water of the Vrishabhavathi River and use it to fill lakes in Magadi taluk and Tumakuru district.
- Groundwater in the region has fallen so low that borewells drilled to depths of 1,200 to 1,300 feet yield no water.
- Farmers in the area depend on borewells for irrigation, and the wells have dried up due to poor rainfall, leaving crops withering.
- Yogesh also pointed out that sewage water is flowing waste through stormwater drains and asked Shivakumar to direct concerned department officials to purify the sewage and fill the lakes.
- The demand matters because filling the lakes with purified water could ease a severe water shortage affecting farming in the region.
What to watch next
- Whether D.K. Shivakumar or the government responds to the demand to treat Vrishabhavathi water.
- Any instructions issued to department officials on purifying sewage flowing through stormwater drains.
- The condition of borewells and lake-filling work in Magadi and Tumakuru in coming months.
