Thirsty Times: Bangalore's Innovation Dries.!
Bangalore, known as the Silicon Valley of India, is grappling with an early water crisis ahead of the summer season. Despite being home to numerous world-class IT companies, the city is facing severe water scarcity due to a lack of timely rains and reduced water levels in the kaveri river. The situation has impacted not only the city but also 219 out of 236 taluks across Karnataka, affecting both agricultural and drinking water needs.
To alleviate the water shortage, plans include utilizing empty milk tanks for storage and supply. However, discrepancies in tanker pricing have been reported, with some charging up to Rs. 3,000 for delivery. Shivakumar criticized the BJP-led central government for the water crisis, attributing it to the delayed approval of the Mekedatu project. He emphadata-sized the need for immediate permission to address the ongoing crisis.
Meanwhile, citizens of Bangalore are sharing their water conservation efforts on social media, with reports of using disposable plates and wet paper for data-face and hand washing. Concerns are growing about the impending months of april and May, indicating the urgency for sustainable solutions to combat the water scarcity in the city.
