‘Arrangements made for hospitals, hotels’

  • | Saturday | 22nd April, 2017

Arrangements have been made for unrestricted water supply to hospitals and hotels, a release said. Two earthmovers have begun operation for cleaning up the Kariyode canal. The Kerala Water Authority’s water supply to the city is being rationed to ensure that usage of the water in the Aruvikkara reservoir is stretched until May 25, Water Resources Minister Mathew T. Thomas has said. A distance of 8.5 km has to be covered to achieve this task, which is fraught with the risk of loss of water during transmission. Although the crisis would be solved in the event of sufficient rainfall in the catchment area of the Peppara dam, plans have been made to transport water from Neyyar dam to Aruvikkara via the Kariyode canal and Aniyilakkadavu.
