Hosur likely to face water scarcity
S. Prasad
Hosur: Acute water scarcity is fast surfacing in the industrial town of Hosur with the water level in Dargah and Ramanaickan lakes dropping to abysmal levels. Residents in most of the areas in the town are up in arms against the municipality for failing to tackle the crisis. The town experiences serious water problems as and when the water level in the two lakes dries up. The two lakes indirectly contribute to the groundwater level in Hosur.
Besides this, indiscriminate dumping of plastic waste by industries in the area has polluted the water level in the Ramanaickan Lake, which has become murky. The lake has virtually turned into a ghat for washing clothes and bathing cattle. This is cause for much concern because of the mounting pollution that will in some way or the other affect the people in the surrounding areas.
