Bengaluru: In a major victory for the state government, the central government has given its consent to the much-awaited Mekedatu balancing reservoir project. 

Central Water Commission has instructed the state government to prepare and submit a Detailed Project Report  (DPR) at the earliest.

It may be recalled that the Siddarammaiah government had got a Detailed Project Report (DPR) done for the project. However, the Jayalaitha led Tamil Nadu government took strong objection to the construction of the balancing reservoir then contending that it would cut into their quota of 177.25 tmc ft of water in a normal year.

Chief Minister Kumaraswamy made a fresh beginning to this project by meeting his Tamil Nadu counterpart to seek his consent for the Mekedatu project which is seen as a ‘good gesture’.

Mekedatu balancing reservoir project is one such project which is expected to slake the thirst of Bengalureans and provide a permanent solution to the water crisis in the IT City and nearby districts.
