ತಿರುಗಿಸಿದರೆ ಮಹದಾಯಿ ನದಿ ಉತ್ತರ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಹಿಡಿಯುವುದು ಬರದ ಹಾದಿ

ತಿರುಗಿಸಿದರೆ ಮಹದಾಯಿ ನದಿ ಉತ್ತರ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಹಿಡಿಯುವುದು ಬರದ ಹಾದಿ. ನವಿಲುತೀರ್ಥ (ರೇಣುಕಾ ಸಾಗರ) ದಲ್ಲಿ ಶೇಕಡಾ 85 ರಷ್ಟು ನೀರು ಖಾನಾಪುರದಲ್ಲಿ ಬೀಳುವ ಮಳೆಯಿಂದ ಬರುತ್ತದೆ. ಭೀಮಗಡ ಮತ್ತು ಮಹದಾಯಿ ವನ್ಯಜೀವಿ ಅಭಯಾರಣ್ಯಗಳು ಖಾನಾಪುರಕ್ಕೆ ಮಳೆ ತರುತ್ತವೆ. ಮಹಾದಾಯಿ ನದಿಯನ್ನು ತಿರುಗಿಸಿದರೆ, ಎರಡೂ ವನ್ಯಜೀವಿ ಅಭಯಾರಣ್ಯಗಳು ಸಾಯುತ್ತವೆ, ನವಿಲುತೀರ್ಥವು ಬತ್ತಿಹೋಗುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಬೆಳಗಾವಿ ಮರುಭೂಮಿಯಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ತಿರುಗಿಸಿದರೆ ಮಹದಾಯಿ ನದಿ ಉತ್ತರ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಹಿಡಿಯುವುದು ಬರದ ಹಾದಿ.

Scientific Evidence

Scientific studies reveal that nearly 85% of the water flowing into Naviluteertha (Renuka Sagar) is sourced from rainfall in the Khanapur region, supported by the dense forest ecosystems of the Bhimgad and Mahadayi Wildlife Sanctuaries. These ecosystems play a critical role in sustaining the water cycle in North Karnataka. Diverting the Mahadayi River poses a serious ecological threat — not only risking the drying up of Naviluteertha but also pushing Belagavi and surrounding areas toward desertification. Protecting the natural flow of the river is essential to preserving the region’s water security and biodiversity.
