News India Live, Digital Desk: Karnataka Irrigation Scheme:There is a great news for those areas of Karnataka, who have been struggling with water scarcity for years. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has inaugurated the second phase of the much awaited KC Valley Project, which has raged a new wave of expected in dry areas like Kolar and Chikkalpur. This is not a common irrigation project, but is a unique and successful plan to clean the dirty water coming out of the city of Bangalore and fill the dry lakes and ponds.
How does this plan work?
This scheme is a great example of how a big problem can be converted into a big opportunity. A large city like Bengaluru produces a large amount of dirty water every day. Under this project, that water is well cleaned in the modern plant and then through pipelines, it is released into hundreds of ponds and lakes of Kolar, Chikkalpur and Bangalore Rural, which had been dried for decades.
The success of the first phase raised hope
The first phase of this scheme was quite successful. In areas where the water level had once gone very low, the water level of the surrounding borewells and wells also started coming up slowly due to the filling of these dry lakes. The dry earth started getting green again and the smile returned to the faces of the farmers. In view of this success, the government has now started its second phase, under which more ponds will be filled and it will benefit more large areas.
This project is proving beneficial not only for the farmers, but also for the entire ecosystem. This shows that if the right thinking and technology are used, then the needs of rural areas can also be met by solving problems related to urbanization. This scheme is a great example of saving water and reusing, from which other states can also learn.
