    Ours is a city full of water in wells but not usuable due to faulty and out dated sewage system. Our wells are contaminated with sewage water. We the 34 residents of mahila are fighting a long battle with MCC from 2012. Now the matter is before National Commission for Consumer Protection New Delhi.

    Why the hell these guys don't desalinate the Ocean water. Diverting Nethravati Rivers' water when such an acute shortage of water exists, steel flyover in Bengaluru,etc,. Its like our so called leaders came directly from mental hospital so as to get such foolish ideas.

    For those who are commenting about cloud seeding, i would like to inform you people is that for cloud seeding to work there must be rain cloud. You can't simply seed any could and expect rain.

    MCF, MRPL, OMPL, JBF & KUDREMUKH why can't use sea water for cooling . fresh water should be used as a close cycle i mean fresh water should go to plant & this fresh water should be cooled by sea water. there is technology our people don't have will power to solve the problem. what IAS, IPS or highly qualified people doing god knows. there is no big deal kulur river near by only discharge line have to connect sea . They can lift water directly from river

    For last eight days we received water for only one day that too was just trickling. We are already using bislery water for drinking and tanker water for other purposes. Why are they not closing down second unit of MRPL? Can not Bangaloreans use less petrol for some days?

    TOO MANY FLATS IN MANGALORE IS THE MAJOR PROBLEMS.

    Emi Mam, great ideas and giving gyaan ... you know our coastal belt receives highest rain fall ... preserving, storing and judicious use of this resource is the only solution... cloud seeding is a failed idea and only fills corrupt pockets... and where do you store that rain from cloud seeding or whatever fill arabian sea... and commenting on our PM Shri Modi, tell your Theresa May to take care of London ...
