TippagondanahalliReservoir.

And whereas the study carried out by Indian Space Research Organization in association
with Indian Resources Information and Management Technologies Pvt. Ltd., (INRIMIT) reveals
that unplanned development in the catchment area is one of the main reasons for the

Tippagondanahalli Reservoir, Karnataka State Pollution Control Board has recommended to
regulate the development in the catchment areas in its 140th meeting held on 2472002. The
Karnataka State Pollution Control Board has taken the decision not to accord consent for any
industry, as this is bound to change the surface contours and affect the catchments drainage
pattern.TheKarnatakaStatePollutionControlBoardhasrecommendedtotheGovernmentthat
theareaidentifiedbyISRObedeclaredasasensitivezone underEnvironment(Protection)Act,
1986 and also suggested to constitute a separate Authority for the conservation of

quantity of water supplied from Thippagondanahalli Reservoir will have direct impact on large
population of Bangalore and whereas the Government considers it necessary to protect the
