Karnataka’s water to last only 60 days, Bengaluru may begin water rationing soon thenewsminute.com

With the water levels in reservoirs across Karnataka reaching dead storage levels, the state government has now ruled out supplying water for agricultural purposes. MB Patil, Minister for Water Resource said that the government is urging farmers to not use their pump sets to draw water from canals and reservoirs for agricultural activities. “Judging by the water levels in the dams, it will be sufficient for the next 60 days for the entire state,” Patil added. Although the agricultural season is over, water will not be released to farmers for growing the second crop.
