Mysuru: Raising alarm over the rapid depletion of water resources due to unchecked urbanisation, former Irrigation Department Engineer H. Ramesh cautioned that Mysuru could face a severe water crisis within the next 15 years if immediate measures are not taken to use water judiciously.
He was speaking at a workshop on ‘Rainwater Harvesting and Plumbing Technologies for Groundwater Table Improvement in Borewells and Open Wells’, organised by the Sir M. Visvesvaraya Plumbing and Underground Drainage Workers Welfare Association at the Institution of Engineers on JLB Road here recently.
