Introduction:

One individual Sri Yele Mallappa Shetty, who was leading an ordinary life as a betel leaf vendor was able to build a tank successfully with a great vision. Probably he had done a wonderful survey and got a feel of water flow in that area and acted as a water resources engineer. Water was supplied to military camps from this tank for many years. Making use of tanks for drinking purpose is the solution to save Bangalore in the days to come. Therefore a study of all the tanks/ canals is very important and hence the study is proposed to have a control over surface and groundwater. The Watershed area of the YMSK expands upto 286 sq kms. The series of flow tanks of Yele Mallappa Shetty Kere (YMSK) begins with MattiKere tank in the NorthEast and Singanayakanahalli Kere (AmmaniKere) in the North of Bangalore.
