Treatment scheme for Vrushabhavathi
The Hindu
The project is estimated to cost ₹1,500 crore and will generate water for irrigation and filling lakes
Once a river snaking through the city to taking on a new identity as a giant sewer (often referred to as Bengaluru mori in Kannada), the Vrushabhavathi has been at the forefront of Bengaluru’s map of polluted waterbodies. While others, like the Bellandur ando the Varthur lakes, generated enough bad press to warrant action, the Vrushabhavathi has had little luck. On Thursday, Minister for Environment, Ecology and Tourism C.P. Yogeshwar, who went on an inspection of the river stretch from the Gali Anjaneya Temple on Mysuru Road till Byaramanagala lake in Bidadi, announced a three-stage treatment scheme for the river water.More Related News
