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

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...
