HEALTH OF THE HILLS, IS THE WEALTH OF THE PLAINS-----------------THE KRS DAM HAS ONLY 714 TMCFT OF WATER LEFT

Jun 26, 2016 — I WONDER HOW MUCH EACH PERSON LIVING IN BANGALORE, MYSORE, MANDYA AND TAMILNADU GETS FROM THIS LITTLE AMOUNT OF WATER.

HERE IS A NEWSPAPER CLIPPING OF THE TIMES OF INDIA, BANGALORE, DATED 24TH JUNE, 2016. IT APPEARED ON PAGE 5.

KRS HAS ONLY 7.14 TMCFT OF WATER, WHEN ITS CAPACITY IS 49.45 TMCFT. (TMCFT STANDS FOR THOUSAND MILLION CUBIC FEET.)

IT IS BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF RAINS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE GOT BY NOW. KRS IS FILLED BY THE RIVER CAUVERY FROM THE RAINFALL THAT HAPPENS IN COORG, AND THE WATER IS MEANT FOR BANGALORE'S CONSUMPTION.

IS THIS A TIME WHEN WE SHOULD EVEN BE DISCUSSING THE CUTTING OF LAKHS OF TREES IN COORG, FOR A RAILWAY TRACK THAT NO ONE WANTS, AND ONE THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED FINANCIALLY UNVIABLE?

WHO ARE THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SO-CALLED DEMAND FOR RAILWAYS TO COORG? ARE THESE PEOPLE WHO STAND TO BENEFIT FROM THE TIMBER WEALTH OR THOSE WHO WANT TO EXPLOIT THE REAL ESTATE GROWTH?

WHO WILL SPEAK FOR THE ORDINARY CITIZENS OF BANGALORE, MYSORE, MANDYA, COORG, AND THE DISTRICTS OF SALEM, ERODE, TRICHY, THANJAVUR AND NAGAPATTINAM IN TAMIL NADU? WHO WILL SPEAK FOR THE DRINKING WATER OF THESE 8 CRORE INDIANS?

PLEASE SHARE THE PETITION WITH OTHERS AND HELP US TO SAVE YOUR DRINKING WATER.

HEALTH OF THE HILLS, IS THE WEALTH OF THE PLAINS.
