Kumaraswamy said the project would aim at replacing the water supply network, which was established 50 years ago. This would help reduce the leakages. Despite having enough water storage, it was possible to supply water to only 75 per cent of the residents in Mysore due to inefficient supply network, the Chief Minister pointed out. Of the total project cost, the Centre will provide Rs. 64 crore while the State Government and the Mysore City Corporation will chip in Rs.

21–The foretold collapse of the Delta could prove damaging not only for Southern Californians who rely on water pumped to their homes but also for the majority of the East Bay, a new study says. Eighty-seven percent of the water used by East Bay residents is either taken from the Delta or shipped through it, according to the study, released this month by Saint Mary’s College in Moraga. Levee breaches during an earthquake or flood could draw salty water from the Bay to the Delta, tainting water that is sent to cities in Contra Costa and Alameda counties.
