Filling of tanks by lift irrigation in Ramanagaram has worsened flood situation

The Hindu  

What was once considered a boon, filling of tanks through lift irrigation, seems to have aggravated the situation, causing floods in Channapatna taluk. Once drought-prone, the taluk’s farmers have been beneficiaries of the lift irrigation projects taken up by the Kaveri Neeravari Nigam over the last 10 years. But heavy rains over the last few weeks has caused floods and for the first time caused crop damage due to heavy rains and floods. The widening of the Bengaluru-Mysuru national highway has also allegedly encroached on Ramammana Kere, a major lake on the outskirts of Channapatna city.
