Panel for reservoir at Mekedatu to tide over City’s water crisis [1]

Apprehending severe water crisis in Bangalore in the near future, the Expert Committee constituted to assess long-term additional needs of water for the City, has urged the government to re-look at the controversial reservoir project at Mekedatu that was shelved earlier.

The 10-member committee headed by B N Thyagaraja, retired BWSSB chairman, submitted its report to the government in December 2011, suggesting short-term and long-term measures to tide over the crisis.
