The Supreme Court’s direction to form the Cauvery Water Management Board (CWMB) latest by Wednesday has left Bengaluru in a difficult situation. The formation of the board is likely to deprive the city of its share of Cauvery water as Bengaluru was never recognised as a part of the Cauvery basin. The state government has called for an emergency meeting of the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) officials to chalk out plans for rationing and saving water.Sources in the BWSSB said Bengaluru development and in-charge minister KJ George has convened a meeting of BWSSB officials and engineers on Monday in the backdrop of the SC direction to form the board. Officials have been directed to get details about the quantum of water supplied to Bengaluru from Cauvery basin, plans for saving water during the ensuing summer months and pilferage of potable water.BWSSB has been under pressure ever since the Cauvery issue took legal wrangles. There is also a shortage of water in KRS. As a result, BWSSB now has the herculean task of managing with the available water.The government may have to resort to rationing of Cauvery water, said a source. In the meantime, the BWSSB and state government are looking to ask major industries, corporate firms and hotels to use water judiciously.• Karnataka decides not to release Cauvery to TN as of now, 3rd defiance of SC order in a row• Karnataka to convene one more special legislature on Monday• Will Karnataka change it's stance against release of Cauvery water?
