Water from Alamatti dam to lakes to solve water problem..!?
The lakes will be filled through the canal for the required drinking water from the water stored in the Allamatti Reservoir. This is very beneficial for livestock. Due to the water coming from the lakes, the ground water mostly comes from wells and tube wells. It will also benefit the people: In the wake of minister Shivananda Patil's handing over of monsoon rains, the government has taken action through the regional commissioner of belgaum division to allow 2.50 TMC of water to be used for the multi-village drinking water projects of the district in the water storage of Alamatti Reservoir for the purpose of drinking water for the people and livestock of the district. Through this, the minister of Sugar, Agriculture Product Marketing and Textile Ministry Shivananda Patila said that the lakes of the district will be filled with water through the canal.
Speaking to the newspaper on friday over phone from Bangalore, he said that there is water shortage due to lack of rain in some taluks of the district. Due to this there is no water for people and livestock. In some places, water is being supplied by tankers. Water is not being supplied by tanker anywhere in Basavanbagewadi constituency. Alamatty reservoir in the district has reached 517.41 m as on July 31 due to rains in Maharashtra. The KBJNL Superintendent engineer has submitted a report that the total storage reached is 89.711 TMC and Jiva Jal 72.091 TMC is likely to be available for use.
The lakes will be filled through the canal for the required drinking water from the water stored in the Allamatti Reservoir. This is very beneficial for livestock. Due to the water coming from the lakes, the ground water mostly comes from wells and tube wells. It will also benefit people. Even under the Bahuhalli drinking scheme, it will be facilitated to provide continuous water supply to the villages. The water released from Alamatti Reservoir for drinking purposes into rivers and canals cannot be used for agriculture for any reason. Officials will monitor this, he said
