Silt Removal of 50+ Lakes in Kolar, Tumkur Boosts Groundwater Recharge Ahead of Winter
Under a Rural Development Department scheme, local residents helped clear silt from over 50 lakes in Kolar and Tumkur districts, improving water resources for the coming winter.
The Rural Development Department's special scheme has successfully removed silt from more than 50 dried lakes in Kolar and Tumkur districts, a move that is expected to enhance groundwater recharge ahead of the winter season.
The silt removal operation was carried out with the active participation of local residents, who helped clear the accumulated sediment from the lake beds, restoring the lakes' capacity to hold water.
Officials said that the cleared lakes will provide a reliable source of water for irrigation and domestic use during the dry months, and will also improve the overall water table in the region.
The project is part of a broader effort by the state government to address water scarcity in the southern interior, and is expected to set a precedent for similar initiatives in other districts.
