In a landmark initiative for sustainable resource management, the Kannur Corporation has officially released its much-anticipated Water Budget. This groundbreaking document, meticulously developed under the guidance of the Haritha Kerala Mission, was unveiled by Mayor Musliah Madathil during a public event at the Kannur Dussehra venue, located on the Collectorate grounds.
The Water Budget serves as a comprehensive framework to thoroughly evaluate water availability and patterns of utilization across all areas within the Corporation’s jurisdiction. Its primary objective is to provide a clear understanding of where water resources are abundant and where they are scarce, enabling targeted interventions.
Beyond mere assessment, the budget outlines strategic measures for the efficient storage, thoughtful conservation, and responsible use of water, particularly during periods of scarcity. A crucial aspect of this plan is also to actively combat water pollution and prevent any form of misuse, thereby protecting this vital natural resource.
This forward-thinking budget is a cornerstone of the Kerala government’s ambitious 100-day action plan, underscoring its commitment to environmental stewardship. It is envisioned as an indispensable tool for ensuring robust water security for current and future generations, with a strong emphasis on maintaining and improving overall water quality.
To create this detailed document, the Kannur Corporation diligently gathered and compiled extensive data from all 55 wards, which are distributed across its six administrative zones. This data-driven approach ensures the budget reflects the unique water dynamics of each locality, paving the way for effective and localized water management solutions.
