These real estate folks got down all trees past 2 decades and said why grow trees it won’t return any money instead invest on property. Now, since there are no trees left out they are saying we grow trees buy home from us. They just see the demand and make things out there.

We went full circle from forest to Village to city and back to forest again.

Marketor going berserk- Grapevine

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….

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

Couple of water droplets fall from a grey cloud and this city becomes zombie town. Blocked drainage, cut off electricity and all the fucking grocery apps are down. Jesus. It’s just really getting to me. That’s it, that’s the post.

Peak city planning. Ffs.

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?

At your place, water comes from cauvery, borewell or tanker?

Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar revealed that about 25% of Bengaluru's population depends on tankers for the supply of potable water. Efforts are being made to ensure equitable distribution of Cauvery water to all citizens in Bengaluru.

25% of Bengaluru Relies on Tankers for Water, Says DKS | Bengaluru News - Times of India

Bengaluru doesn't have enough water left.

Holi hai? Diwali hai? So what, nothing to enjoy. Lets spend the day laying on the bed, watching stuff over phone. Feeling less and less disconnected with friends, to the point where I feel I don't even have friends. College friends are based in another city. Didn't even try to make friends at workplace. Stuck alone in my homecity as past 6 years I was based somewhere else completing my grad and preparing for jee. Prior to that focused a lot on studies. So had little to no interaction with people during academics. And now when I have time and money to spend, there is noone with whom I can have fun with.

The older I get, the lesser my excitement becomes for festivals

Bangalore might run out of water soon.

Those 1cr, 2cr, 3cr, .... N cr flats will be ghost flats then?

Day 0 is near

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.
