Bangalore Water Crisis

Bangloriens are you also facing same issue in your locality?

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?

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 ?

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?

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/1764630983285055821?s=46&t=HfDEg0soIC4CrLsxfWgXXA
