Mysuru City Corporation is keen on adopting Dutch water management system in the city.
It's one thing to study best practices, but their adoption is, to use a much-abused cliche, a different ball game altogether.
However, that is precisely what the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) is endeavoring - impressed with the water supply system in Netherlands, considered the best in the world, the civic body is now looking to emulate the model.
Apart from the round-the-clock water supply, the distribution network in Netherlands also boasts the lowest water leakage.
Moreover, water is supplied to the public at what is considered a modest price. After studying and analyzing the distribution and sanitation systems of North Western Europe, officials at MCC appear to have decided to adopt the Netherlands model.
MCC commissioner G Jagadeesha, who was in Netherlands as part of a foreign study tour, has managed to collect the necessary information about the water distribution system in that country.
System adopted in Netherlands

- Water companies are also responsible for urban flood control
- Decentralised waste water treatment, managed by Waterschoon, a project in which the community is a participant
