Bengaluru: With the State undergoing a severe crisis due to a long spell of drought, the Government is mulling on setting up of ‘water grid’ on the lines of power grid in the State. With rivers and other water bodies drying up fast due to soaring heat and scanty rainfall, most parts of the State, especially rural areas are facing a serious water crisis.
Taking stock of the alarming drinking water woes, Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy is said to have directed the officials to come up with a blue print on establishing ‘water grid,’ through which water can be drawn directly from water sources and river beds using large pipes and supplied to crisis places.
