Vijayapura, April 10, 2026: With the summer season already creating concerns about drinking water availability, the Vijayapura district administration has announced a comprehensive strategy to ensure uninterrupted supply across the city and district. A high‑level meeting was held at the District Collector’s office, where officials and elected representatives discussed both immediate and long‑term measures to address the growing demand.
Almatti to Vijayapura: New Water Project in Motion
One of the most significant decisions taken during the meeting was to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for a new scheme that will bring water directly from the Almatti Dam to Vijayapura city. This project is expected to provide a permanent solution to the recurring summer shortages and meet the needs of the rapidly expanding urban population.
District Collector Anand K emphasized the urgency of the plan, stating: “We are committed to ensuring that every household in Vijayapura receives adequate drinking water throughout the summer. The DPR for the Almatti water project will be prepared soon.”
