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. Did my research and work while i was staying there, thought it might be helpful for others looking for answers. Get to work soldiers 🪖💪

Bangalore on

People are not serious about Bangalore's condition. A rant post.

This water shortage thing in Bangalore is pretty depressing. There is an extreme shortage of water but no one on this planet seems serious about it. People are busy making memes around it , poking political parties , blaming the government. The government is blaming other governments and that's it. Imagine there were 280 lakes in the city now there are only 15. Imagine once Lalbagh and cubbon park were connected and there were elephants living there. How can a random land mafia dry up the lake and build stupid buildings illegally purely for their profits? They will profit from it but whose resources they took? Nature's resources that were meant for everyone. That land mafia must be chilling in Atlantis hotel in the rooftop swimming pool and here we are drying up. In the end , only the one sitting at the top would benefit from it and the one who will suffer is common person and they are still not realising how badly they will suffer in future. If you don't have water what are you going to drink? 500 2000 notes smoothie? No amount of money can give water. These land mafias and politicians will import fresh water for their families to drink after depleting Indian resources. What are you going to do ? And then this government brings CAA law to bring more people to our country where the existing citizens don't have enough resources. WAKE UP SAVE INDIA FROM POLITICIANS. Anyway , this is not a propaganda post against any political party because all parties are at the end corrupted, they will exploit everything to make money and then safeguard their family by sending them in foreign countries. The one who will suffer is us.
