Desperate to tide over drinking water crisis, the State Government has decided to identify newer ground water sources. For this, the Government will identify water sources that are more than 2,000 years old and is purchasing advance equipment to identify water source and also to draw water.
Speaking to reporters at Vidhana Soudha yesterday, Law & Parliamentary Affairs Minister T.B. Jayachandra said that the Government has released Rs. 200 crore for the purpose and the advanced machines will have the capacity to extract water even from a depth of 2,000 feet. “Technology will tell us the availability of ground water and its level. We have been unsuccessful so far and many borewells that were dug have not yielded any result. This new technology will come to our rescue,” he said.
