Udupi became the second city on the Karnataka coast after Mangaluru to launch water rationing, a senior official said on Tuesday.
Commissioner of the Udupi City Municipal Corporation Rayappa told PTI that the rationing system will come into force from Wednesday and will continue till the water in the reservoir reaches comfortable levels.
The dam built across the Swarna river at a place called Baje, which is the only source of water for Udupi city, recorded 3.25 meters of water as against the top level of 6.30 meters.
The decision of water rationing will be reviewed periodically until the reservoir regains its fullest levels, the official said.
