"The extent of water surface in Bengaluru during 1973 was 2,324 hectares. Over the last 50 years, due to reckless concretization, the water surface has shrunk considerably. Of the remaining water bodies, 98% of lakes are encroached upon and 90% of them are fed with untreated sewage or industrial effluents. Naturally, this has impacted the recharge of the groundwater table as well," IISc's Prof TV Ramachandra had told TOI.
If they buiild more "lake-view" apartments, there will be no more lakes left, not that there are many left.
Pls come to Gurgaon and Noida.
Airports are nearby, infra is what BLR couldn't imagine. Yes polution which lasts for 2-3 months a year. I hope we solve that.

Been in Bangalore all my life. These articles pop up every 2-3 years with some clickbait-y claim and attach IISc’s name to make it seem less click baity. Fact is Bangalore has grown and will grow.

Don’t put off your plans of buying a home seeing these articles 😂

Silicon Valley is dry and dying in February.

New to the city and it makes no sense to me whatsoever. Having lived through all major metros in the country, Bangalore feels like a Tier-2 town covered with Tier-1 wrapping paper.
Probably because they built buildings where lakes provided natural refuge to rain water bro.
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 ...
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.
Ps: for those who’re not aware of the situation- https://x.com/vishalbhargava5/status/17646...
70% lakes have dried up/covered up by builders
