The Save Kodagu and Cauvery Campaign highlights rampant commercial land conversion and urbanization in Kodagu as a key factor contributing to water shortages in Bengaluru.
They advocate against issuing No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for land conversion for commercial purposes in Kodagu, the birthplace of the Cauvery River.
The campaign urges legislators to pressure Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to issue strict directives against land conversion and to impose a moratorium on Bengaluru’s further expansion.
Continued growth and destruction of Kodagu’s landscape could lead to a significant impact on Bengaluru’s water supply and agricultural regions like Mandya and Mysuru.
If the trend persists, areas in Kodagu could develop into large cities, potentially leading to severe water scarcity and invoking the National Disaster Act in times of drought.
