Finally hit my apartment in Indiranagar. Anyone else facing it? 

Didn’t think it was that big of a crisis since I didn’t know who was facing any shortage.

Anyone found the effects in their nearby areas. How bad is it ?

Water Shortage

I spoke with some friends in Bellandur, Sharjapur and they all claim they have no problem whatsoever. However, the media is going crazy everywhere. Just wondering what areas are hit the most with water scarcity?
Also, mention if YOU are facing the problem yourself and what are you doing about it?

Which areas in Bangalore are hit with water scarcity?

Analyst

My area has gone under a severe water crisis. It's such a pathetic situation right now. No water in kitchen and bathroom taps😑
It's some issue with the government with the local people about the Borewells from where the water is fetched, due to which water tankers have gone under strike. 🤧
How's the situation in your area?

Water crisis in Startup capital of India

Founder

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, as weak southwest monsoon rains have led to depleted groundwater levels and reduced water levels in the Cauvery River basin reservoirs that supply the city, as per a Reuters report. With roughly 14 million residents and a bustling hub of IT companies and startups, the city is facing unprecedented challenges in meeting its daily water needs., Bengaluru News, Times Now

Bengaluru Running Dry: Water Woes Hit India's Silicon Valley Ahead of Summer Surge; Reports

Water Lays Off Bengaluru

Bangalore, my 'Karm Bhoomi' and the heart of the global software industry, is facing an acute #water crisis. With taps running dry and a pricing war waging over water tankers, the situation is reminiscent of Arrakis, where only the rich had access to water. Our maid now arrives earlier to ensure dishes are washed before the water ceases at noon and later comes to do other chores. Getting to work is another battle—an exercise in managing daily routines with packaged water, only to be stuck in the city's traffic with blaring heat.

Unlike Arrakis, though, Bangalore is supposed to have numerous lakes and a functioning water cycle as part of the city's ecosystem. So how did we get here?

Inadequate rainfall and overexploitation of groundwater resources (47% of borewells under Govt. Board (BMRDA & BWSSB) in the city have ceased to yield water), coupled with inefficient….

Wrote something addressing to BLR water crisis. Please read & share feedback, if any!

I see lots of posts about water crisis in Bangalore like people going mall to 💩. Office saying employees to work from home. So many things I am hearing. But I never felt that water shortage. Just wanted to know how real is this ?

Is water crisis is real?

Worst time to be in Bangalore. Its become unliveable. I have been in Bangalore for 20+ years. But the last 2 years are nightmare, construction everywhere, broken roads, crazy traffic, no water, its hot as Mumbai. what's happening. Once a beautiful city, now a nightmare. sad!

Enough said. Get your shit together, BBMP. Mandate a WFH and shut the tech parks down honestly. At least SWE jobs.

“Bangalore water crisis”

- rainfall has reduced
- > 70% lakes have dried up/covered up by builders
- its not even feb and there is shortage of water everywhere. There are people literally carrying jugs of water on their head like villages if you head out after evenings.
- brigade/sobha/prestige societies with flats > 1.5 cr have put out notices with water supply being cut for more than 6 hours everyday, wtf is Bangalore real estate really 
- water supply here was really bad initially ( hard water, polluted water) but the water shortage in feb only is really worrisome.

I want to understand homeowners/aspiring homeowners - how are you planning for this? Are You even worried about this?
Or even people thinking of settling long term in Bangalore, thoughts about this?

Article of 2015 predicting what we are experiencing right now.

Homeowners of Bangalore - Opinion about water shortage

I recently got an offer and am planning to move to Gurgaon. I was trying to find an opportunity in Bangalore because I love this place, or maybe it’s just change I detest. But nothing worked out and here I am. 
Has anyone made the same move? Or maybe vice versa? Which place do you think is better and why?

Moving to Gurgaon from Bangalore

Just got notified by the manager of the society that borewells are not able to extract water like before and that water tankers are facing it difficult to arrange as most of their go-to reservoirs have started to dry up.

Anyone else here facing water shortage issues this week?

How bad is the situation in Blr currently?

Bangalore water supply

Have you had similar water situation in the past? Always thought Bangalore as a lake city, but looks like most of them aren’t taken care of.
