BANGALORE: The Karnataka Haridasa Scientific Research Centre will organise a three-day national seminar from July 5 here on water scarcity in the country and the lack of consensus on measures to tackle it.

It said scholars and academics in the field of water management may submit their papers to it on the dependability of projections regarding water security; the imbalance between demand and supply and the factors influencing it; the inadequacies of conservation techniques adopted; the role of multipurpose dams; and innovative plans for water supply, such as interlinking of rivers.
