Cauvery Stage V draws to a close; what next for BWSSB?
Given that water supply projects take a long time and are financially heavy, experts and residents suggest that the BWSSB should begin work on the Cauvery Stage VI soon by picking up the learnings from the Cauvery Stage V project.
Delving into what is next for BWSSB, experts also suggested the need for an integrated water management system, especially after the water crisis this summer.
“There is a need for an integrated approach to water management and holistic planning. We need to look at improving groundwater levels, preventing the entry of sewage into lakes, and putting wastewater to better use. While Cauvery stage VI will definitely help ease the situation, we should simultaneously look at such sustainable projects,” said Shreya Nath, Managing Partner of the Urban Water Programme at WELL Labs.
