The Hindu  

Even as the civic bodies in Mysuru are hopeful of the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board de-reserving a plot of land identified for setting up a water treatment plant as part of the proposed Hale Unduwadi drinking water scheme for Mysuru, little or no efforts have been made to revive the drinking water project that was stalled with the announcement of the Lok Sabha polls in 2014. Officials familiar with the proposed 300 MLD drinking water scheme from Hale Unduwadi near KRS backwaters said the scheme, which is yet receive government approval, has to be pursued by different government agencies, including the Karnataka Urban Water Supply and Drainage Board. Mysuru City Corporation Commissioner G. Jagadeesha, who had accompanied KIADB Chief Executive Officer Pankaj Kumar Pandey to Beechanakuppe for a spot inspection of the plot of land identified for the water treatment plant, said the civic authorities in Mysuru had convinced Mr. Pandey on the need to de-reserve the land in favour of the water project and he was hopeful of the Board and the government taking a favourable decision. The project, which envisages construction of a jackwell at Hale Unduwadi, 2 km upstream of KRS reservoir, and a water treatment plant at Beechanakuppe, is expected to bring an additional 300 MLD of water to Mysuru city, which is expanding at a fast pace.
