       Is Cauvery water, the lifeline of the people of Bangalore, Mysore
and Mandya, safe for drinking?

       The question is doing the rounds in the light of recent reports
that large quantities of animal waste and by-products of slaughtered
animals are being dumped into the river in a surreptitious manner near
Siddapura, about 60 km from the Krishnaraja Sagar reservoir.
