Question

The National Board for Wildlife postponed the decision on diverting forest land for Karnataka\'s Kalasa-Banduri Project in Kali and Sahyadri tiger reserves. The project aims to address drinking water needs in Karnataka\'s Belagavi, Dharwad, Bagalkot, and Gadag districts by diverting water from Goa\'s Mahadayi River to the Malaprabha River basin (a tributary of Krishna River). Proposed in the 1980s, the project faced disputes among Karnataka, Goa, and Maharashtra. Barrages on Kalasa and Banduri streams are planned to redirect water to Karnataka\'s drought-prone districts.
