== Current State ==<br />
During monsoon, Bellary Nala floods frequently that has been causing them huge losses for farmers the past.<ref>Bellary Nala spills over, 700 acres under water https://www.news18.com/news/india/bellary-nala-spills-over-700-acres-under-water-390462.html</ref> They have been demanding officials to desilt the nala. They have submitted memorandums to the authorities concerned and even protested against their alleged negligence.<ref>https://vijaykarnataka.com/news/belagavi/bellary-nala/articleshow/53230613.cms ಬಳ್ಳಾರಿ ನಾಲಾ ಹೂಳೆತ್ತಲು ಕ್ರಮ</ref> Also the nala has not been cleaned for sometime. The 30-km stretch of Bellary Nala traverses through dense industrial and populated clusters and agriculture farms before joining [[Markandeya River, Western Ghats|Markandeya river]].<ref>Belagavi villagers demand filter plant to treat contaminated water from Ballari Nala https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/Belagavi-villagers-demand-filter-plant-to-treat-contaminated-water-from-Ballari-Nala/article16076721.ece</ref> The several industries and even hospitals release their waste into the nala. As a result, crops on the banks of the nala are damaged and to make things worse, many farmers working in those fields complain of skin diseases. Even the government sanctioned funds for taking up the nala work in 2017, but the work never commenced. Since Bellary Nala carries the [[Belagavi]] city's sewage throughout the year, it is also the duty of the [[Belgaum City Corporation]] to clean. However, the corporation says it is helpless and that it is up to the district administration to take care of it. This year as an addon, the making of the [[Halga, Belgaum|Halga]] - [[Macche]] bypass Road has worsened the situation.<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260740048_WATER_QUALITY_ASSESSMENT_OF_BELLARY_NALA_BELGAUM WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF BELLARY NALA, BELGAUM</ref><br />
