While the Yettinahole lift irrigation project is being projected as one that would bring hope for this area, Shaashwatha Neeravari Horata Samithi questioned why the government of Karnataka is assuring people that the project would yield 24 tmcft of water though the IISc had, in its study report in 2015, expects the actual yield to be less than 8 tmcft.
The Shaashwatha Neeravari Horata Samithi, a committee seeking resolution of the water woes of parched districts of Kolar, Chikkaballapur and Bengaluru Rural, has urged the government of Karnataka to include the issue in the agenda for the special meeting of the State Cabinet scheduled to be held at Nandi Hills in Chikkaballapur district on June 19.
Samithi president R. Anjaneya Reddy submitted a memorandum in this regard to Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh on June 17.
