Kozhikode to Finalize Water Budgeting by End of June
Kozhikode district in Kerala is creating a water budget to manage its water resources.
This budget assesses how much water is available from rain, rivers, and groundwater, and how much is used by homes, farms, and industries.
The goal is to identify areas facing water shortages, especially during the summer, and to implement solutions like conservation efforts.
This initiative, led by local bodies, aims to ensure a sustainable water supply for the community, with updates planned annually.
Kozhikode is set to finalize its water budget by the end of June.
The process involves 78 local bodies including municipalities and the Kozhikode Corporation.
The water budget assesses water availability against its utilization.
Water availability is assessed using a formula developed by CWRDM.
The initiative aims to address water scarcity through scientific interventions and community awareness.
