Bantwal, July 21: The security wall of old Jackwell, which stood besides the new vented dam at Thumbay, has collapsed on Friday, July 21. However it did not cause damage to the newly constructed dam.

There will not be any obstacle for the supply of drinking water to the people in Mangaluru.

The wall constructed about fifty years ago has caved in due to incessant rains and moisture.

Karnataka water board executive engineer Mahadevaiah, assistant executive engineers Lingaraju, Shobha Laxmi and junior engineer Shekar visited the place soon after hearing the news. They have informed the city corporation engineer and asked him to conduct the necessary repairs.

    What an idiotic design!!!!
    The engineers concerned from water supply dept should be taken to task.
    A dam is considered as retaining wall which needs to hold water pressure. As the water head increases the side thrust increases. Ordinary wall cannot withstand such thrust.
    This wall looks like having been constructed out of stones, with mud / soil filled inside. It should have been a taper wall with large base width or a concrete wall with steel reinforcement.
    Lack of civil engineering knowledge in the department!!!
