Mysuru: “The ground water level is going down day by day and one of the main reasons for this is the growth of urban areas. People are also migrating from rural areas into towns and cities and this has led to more consumption of water. Everyone should think twice before throwing out sweet water,” said Water Activist and Urban Planner Vishwanath Sreekantaiah.
He was speaking after inaugurating ‘My Green 2018’ exhibition organised by Builders’ Association of India (BAI), Mysuru Centre, at Mysore Builders’ Charitable Trust (MBCT) premises in Vishweshwaranagar here yesterday and said that since farmers use chemical fertilisers it seeps into the mud and thus the ground water becomes polluted. Hence, the farmers have to practice organic farming.
