Want to save Bengaluru water? Get to work 🪖
Problem statement : Those who have money can pay for tankers but it's only promoting tanker mafias and black money now. Some of it pseudo controlled by cops and local politicians. Lake land also being claimed illegally by various parties including corporations. Sewage from industry and housing also joining lakes and rivers. Govt supply is sketchy and difficult to improve. Need to start independent sources of water and revival of existing bodies. Solution : Land around water bodies will need to be monitored for encroachments, cleaned up regularly and litigated for, to protect it. Similar stuff happening with aarey forest and metro project encroachment in Mumbai. Floodplain being encroached will make floods and water table levels worse, but it's prime real estate that can be commercialized and sold. All the lakes and rivers, vrishabhavati especially need to be revived and protected. Homework : Check out million Wells project and connect with the founder, citizens for Bengaluru group, and read up on history of other revivals and their spearheads. Start water conservation efforts around your societies, basic rainwater harvesting should be in place at least. And yes, stop wasting water ofc. https://www.fairplanet.org/story/the-million-wells-for-bengaluru/ https://citizenmatters.in/shades-of-blue-book-bengaluru-lakes-tanks-citizen-activism-restoration/#:~:text=Bengaluru%20is%20well%20known%20in,with%20nature%20in%20the%20city.

Water Lays Off Bengaluru
TL;DR Silicon Valley is dry and dying in February. Almost 2cr people live in Bengaluru and outskirts, dependent on kaveri, borewell and tanker water. Kaveri water - Stalin and Sidda are busy in cage fight and at end they will abuse NaMo for this also. Lakes are exploited by corrupt politicians alongwith bbmp, bda and corrupt beaureaucrats. Borewell ain't working as climate change ruined water level due to shift in monsoon rain pattern. Tanker mafia again ready to loot. North India is lucky to have 3 all year river like ganges, indus and brahmaputra. Due to Himalayas glaciers they are all weather rivers Sadly south India has 3 major river like godavari, narmada and kaveri but all are monsoon river. Water was already having 1000 tds and now that water is also unavailable. I will never buy those shitty 1cr houses at Bangalore or even land due to this water crisis. What do u think Bengaluru lovers or haters?
Bengaluru: Bengaluru, often hailed as "India's Silicon Valley," is grappling with a severe water shortage this year, much earlier than usual...
