Mysore: Lakes in and around Mysuru have neared historic lows and some have gone dry this summer as searing heat and parched ground have sucked up massive amounts of water. Considering the fast depletion of water in lakes, a life source for both humans and animals, the State Government has drawn up a massive pilot project to supply water from KRS Dam backwaters directly to 13 lakes in Mysuru including the Lingambudhi Lake.
While the Lingambudhi Lake comes within the city limits, all the other 12 lakes come under Chamundeshwari Constituency. Water will be supplied to the lakes from KRS backwaters by laying pipelines without any chance of wastage.
