Drinking water diluted with sewage water!
It is an indigestible fact that the Cauvery water which we drink is getting mixed with the sewage overflow.
This is how, the residents are being responsible for consuming Cauvery water as well as polluting it!
Today, Bangalore municipal authorities are treating hardly 10 percent of sewage water and the rest of then are either overflowing and certain percentage is getting mixed with the Pennar and Cauvery rivers downstream.
According to the CAG report rivers like; Tungabhadra, Chambal, Musi, Mandovi, Yamuna, Cauvery and Krishna are all proved to have polluting contents in them.
However, the government should make sure that this do not continue, if not all these drinking water sources will be a major threat to citizen’s life.
