Mysore/Mysuru: Water levels in the four major reservoirs of the Cauvery basin — Harangi, Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS), Kabini and Hemavathi — have fallen to less than half of their total gross capacity. This downturn serves as a stark indicator of an impending crisis in the months and weeks to come.
The available water supply not only needs to cater to the drinking water needs of major towns and cities, including Bengaluru, Mandya and Mysuru, but it must also last until the onset of next year’s monsoon in June.
