Water supply in drought-prone areas

March 02, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:51 am IST - KANNUR:

The district administration has made all arrangements to meet the anticipated drought situation, as many parts of the district are expected to experience acute shortage of drinking water by mid-March.

District Collector P. Bala Kiran informed the district development committee meeting here on February 28 that all necessary arrangements were made to ensure drinking water supply in places that are likely to face drinking water scarcity in the district.

In addition to 155 water kiosks established last year to supply water in drought-prone areas, 200 more such kiosks will be purchased this summer.
