Yeah, last year ground water had also depleted. I live near the Hebbal outskirts and we have a borewell which went dry last year, and then we had to adjust for a few days. Last year Mysore faced one of its worst water supply shortages na.

I heard that there is constant testing of borewell water levels. And if the ground water level is low, they are getting supplemented by the Kabini dam water. Very recent measures say that Kabini dam has 2275 ft water against a maximum of 2284 ft.

Yes. You can expect decent water levels and most probably no water supply problems. Even if there was an emergency, th Vani Vilas Water Works will have made some arrangements.

Rainfall has its pros and cons man. This year Mysore has received good rains. Especially the KRS area. It was even in the news that rains flooded some of the low lying areas in Mysore. But the dam water levels are good

Yeah I remember! Last year the water levels plummetted! It went as low as 65 ft in KRS dam and then they had to pump in more water from the adjoining river beds using heavy duty pumps.

The river contributes to the water supply of like 50 per cent of the city. This year they say that both the Krishnaraja Sagar and the Kabini reservoirs have sufficient water storage. Last summer I don't know if you guys remember how bad the supply got

Are you new to Mysore? Just wondering. The water supply issue has been very much resolved with rains this year being pretty high. You will find no problems. But yes your information is right. Last year the water levels in the dam dropped to risky numbers.
