The Haritha Keralam Mission (HKM), in association with the Water Resources and Local Self-Government (LSG) Departments, is gearing up to launch a pilot project on water budget in Wayanad district.
The project aims at finding the availability and consumption of water in an area and ensure its judicious use, mission sources said.
The availability of water in an area and its demand by various sectors such as industries, agriculture, dairies, and households would be assessed in the first phase, sources said.

If the availability was lower than the demand, scientific steps would be adopted for increasing the availability and restrict the use of water with public support.
The project would be executed in Muttil grama panchayat in the district.
A final discussion, chaired by K.Krishnankutty, Water Resources Minister, was held in Thiruvananthapuram on Friday .
