Drying borewells and soaring costs: Bengaluru’s water crisis
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- With a population exceeding one crore and boasting some of the world's largest IT parks, Bengaluru's water demand far exceeds its current supply. Despite drawing significant quantities of water from the Cauvery River and groundwater sources, the city still faces a shortfall of 1,680 million litres of water per day.

IT companies should offload some of their work to tier -2 cities instead of bringing more people to BLR in the name of return to office
To tier 3, 4. 5 cities
They received directions from govt to call people to office
imply WFH s. create a lock down for 3 months . makes schools online for 1-2 academic years. till the time bangalore recoveres.
they can give work from home option so that most of them move to there natives then this scarcity would end for this summer.
There is a limit to the population a city can tolerate...real estate is killing this city...
Yes when you allow whole UP & BIHARI crowd
@@Casanova-vi9me Lets not keep blaming UP and Bihar. There are immigrants from Kerala, North Karnataka, Andhra , Telangana too. And of course unplanned IT real estate.
Just mandate Work From Home, let people go back to their hometowns - rent rates will go down and water and road problems will also get solved.
Because we malayalees flee from communist Kerala to here
Oh just shut up Gober chap🤬🐒@@cmntkxp
@@vakarthi4all coz of 💩💩💩 North Indian
I was in Bangalore In 2022 and 23 . Whenever I point out these infrastructural issues like traffic, floods, water crisis to my co workers who where kannadikas, they used to tell me to go back to my own state. I was shocked and surprised to see that a government has successfully made their people to say this instead of them asking to the govt why the infrastructure is bad even after the city is generating insane amount of tax every day. Now they are fighting over language. someone has to tell them to fight for the real problems or the end is soon for Bangalore.
After all this would you still choose Banglore😂. None of the mega cities of India are livable. It's shocking that these metropolis are still expanding and exploding but resources and infrastructure is depleting and crumbling.
Bengaluru is highly overrated, even tier 3 cities have better infra than so called silicon valley.
@@rijuraghav1705 patheic real estate boom.... people madly purchase from andhra realtors who are ust corrupted. entire whitefield forest is destroyed by real estate .... KA politicians just eat comissions from ap realtors.
It is not easy to build infrastructure because there are so many issues ( appropriate funding, corruption, quality of resources, etc). Remember you are in India. If anyone says they do within short period, they assume you don't know India.Only best solution is to avoid overcrowd. In Chennai, they missed to do it natives of Chennai suffering for that. Good small amount of resources are only for small population. If more population settle, the consequences will be difficult for many. Nowadays, many think and request to make their districts useful.
It's bad on their part to say so. I do not endorse.
Why didn't people move out of Bangalore decades ago? IT workers should have gone to Hyderabad etc. or abroad. Retirees anywhere else. Do you need a massive plague to break out before you leave?? And ground water is a looming issue in all big cities. HIGH RISE apartment buildings MUST END. CITIES MUST SPREAD OUTWARD otherwise you suck up all the water in some areas.
Hyderabad condition is not that great either considering increasing population
Apartments are necessary to house increasing population. The days of independent houses are over.
Our politicians are the problems, frequent power cuts and water scarcity has a link, this is the gemics of congress gowrnment.
Besides kaveri river water........Bangalore gets enough rain to provide 40% of water needs but due to poor water management and no proper recharge facilities ........this "crisis" is created
Water supply in Hyderabad is superior compared to other cities thanks to KTR sir
Allowed all lakes to be converted to IT park's, then where will be the water ??
Bring more people to Bangalore in the name of Work from office
Few years ago it's predicted based on the studies of some international agency. Banglore & Capetown would be the two cities which would suffer a very bad water shortage crisis. In Capetown it has started
Sure no politician acting on report for solution
Absolutely correct
Their advisors too are useless
Besides kaveri river water........Bangalore gets enough rain to provide 40% of water needs but due to poor water management and no proper recharge facilities ........this "crisis" is created
Omg,,,😮😢😢😢
Benguluru will become a ghost city very soon. The corruption of government officials and the greediness of landlords causes huge water crisis in the city. How come a govt gives permission to construct 6-7 floors in 30x40 site. This is causing Huge dense populated city that creates water scarcity in no time.
But no scarcity for any politician 😂
Building constructers are too greedy, they just built flats& apartments one after another. IT office buildings are like mushrooms. What does the authorities think while giving consent for all. How are they going to supply drinking water to this huge population??
S what r our responsible leaders doing this is going on for years r they looking into this. Only money matters for every political workers why r they scantioning such building corruption something has to be done before it turns worse insist for dual citizenship then no permanent stay or buy or build even companies why only Bangalore injustice CM must action regarding multi storey building and bore well digging has to stop
such a sad affairs,what is life without water? God bless these people with continous fresh water supply.
Thanks
I am sorry ,but had people and Govt paid more attention to education and less to god they wouldnt be in this problem.
Bengaluru like water crisis is waiting for many cities of india and world around. Use of water control and scientific invention to recharge ground water is needed.
Rainwater harvesting scheme should be implement.
Yes , spaces are very less due to close knit built houses
Most of the new house in our layout have borewell and rainwater harvesting too... But there is short fall of rain....
Condensation also works
143 crores population plus increasing again in more speed way. 1.5 crores Bangalore population & competing with Mumbai. MOTHER INDIA SAVE YOUR 1.5 BILLION CHILDREN
Population isn't the issue. The issue is greed.
@@abinashmohanty7822
Haan toh jitna population barega utna hi greed barega naa!!!!!!!
This country refuses to learn from mistakes , hence the price to pay by citizens.
Please stop construction work for couples of month ,
75% land is covered with concrete interlock. IISc already warned about it. No rain water recharge points...😢
You can tell more people that Bangalore weather is greatrst and they can come and settle here. 😊
On a serious note, cities across the country should be developed so that people don't migrate and choke one city. Think about the locals. Politicians will keep converting agricultural land into layouts without a care. Many layouts here are developed on lake beds. It is a chain reaction. Right from soaring real estate prices to increase in cost of living to congested roads to pollution, uncontrolled expansion and yes the perpetual water problems. And summers are really hot now because of these linked changes. IT boom did give some of us jobs and some infrastructure was developed, but at what cost? An average Bangalorean of the past (not the new settlers) cannot even think of owing a house even after 30 years because of the sudden increase in property rates. Where do they go from here and settle?
Politicians don't come from Mars. They rise from society. They took risk when others were storing money in FD waiting for real estate crash. No one would leave money on the table if given a chance. Leave this hypocrisy and stop blaming others for your suffering.
Don't blame development; no one can stay for free anywhere. Everyone has to pay huge taxes. If you want to blame someone, blame the administration.
Mumbai is denser than Bangalore but even the poor there have access to clean drinking water on tap.
Besides kaveri river water........Bangalore gets enough rain to provide 40% of water needs but due to poor water management and no proper recharge facilities ........this "crisis" is created
Bangalore city is exploding, government should keep check to it,it's just like Chennai which is suffocating with population, instead 50 lakh,1.50 crore people r staying and polluting it.
Correct. Large numbers are dangerous for small amount of resources. We know this truth. Administration should decide
@@videomagazine3718
Yeaaaah
You get what you pray for and choose. Why this now ? Hibernating earlier ? Blessings.
People spoiled the lakes cleaned by governments😢 Imagine if we preserve our lake water and if they are drinkable. It is like that in developed world
I see a lot of water tankers here, unless it is properly allocated, managed this will lead to more serious issues.
I fear for Hyderabad, though metro politan cities are made, there should be many limits for population, migration control and dominance of polluters,use of all resources.
When ITians can work from anywhere why set up office in cities and spoil everything. Ask IT companies to move out of major cities to sort out impending perils.
Heckling urbanisation is immature.
For the hefty taxes we generate, the Govt could build a large number of desalination plants along the coast to help, but ofcourse it's not the full solution. Water management needs to improve.
Prevent water leakages by monitoring water pressure at all junctions. Non-legal connections too could be discovered this way.
Further incentivise STP with tax-cuts & improve public outreach for better Rainwater Harvesting...
There's no dearth of ideas, there's just no will.
Many have opted for rain water harvesting
This channel must show even that
Rain water harvesting is compulsory in Chennai and it has helped to some extent in improving ground water levels.
@@Moksha_Rahasyam if you are in bengaluru visit sir m visveshwariah rain water harvesting theme park people who visit there can learn how to do rain harvesting system
Yes, being localite I have done water harvesting and spent ard 45k and paid almost 30k as fine.....when houses are put huge fine....what is d measure taken for apartments?
Whole Kerala migrated to blore
Exactly....they migrate to Bangalore for job and for education to Mangalore.....:(....where we will go :(....i guess it's now time for us to migrate to Kerala....
Good report presentation
ಬೇರೆ ಕಡೆಯಿಂದ ಬಂದಿರೋರೆಲ್ಲ ತಮ್ಮ ತಮ್ಮ ಊರಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಿಬಿಡಿ, ಮತ್ತೆ ಜೂಲೈ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಬನ್ನಿ
Nice suggestion 😅
🤣🤣better don't come back only
Lots of big big projects everywhere, real estate only the main culprits
has city administration gone on vocation?
if IT companies advise there employees to work from home then most of them would work from out of bangalore, then this water scarcity would end
Other cities will face same crisis. Residential areas are blocking water percolation into ground. People need to be made aware.
People should collect rain water in raining season and allow water to enter in ground to go deeper. 2 dont allow rain water get wasted on roads. allow the rain water to go to parks and where ever possible. in coarse of time our wells and borewells get filled up and Bangalore become cool. please keep some drums near foot paths and open spaces to collect rainwater and use it for gardening and other purposes. in terrace also one can collect rainwater to some extent by providibg big drums in different places of terrace and use it for your own use for washing cars abd scooters and cleaning purposes. this is what my suggestion
One solution companies should send other state employees wfh during summers. People will go from bangalore
Thank you
We cannot depend on humans due to their corrupt mind!!! All we can do is pray God for better rains this year 🙏🏼
Better rain? What you mean.past few years Bangalore suffering with flood, during summer there's no water.better to do recharge the bore well with rain water and maximum technology apply for using rain water.
It is your uneducated mind that has created this problem. Please go to Bihar and stay there.
@@ansals1 you don’t seem to be from Bangalore… Bangalore has always had heavy rains!!! due to unplanned expansion, beyond boundaries, concretization of the city (cutting down trees for accommodating people) and mainly drying up of lakes for this urbanization, we have had lesser rains… 2022 rains was a glimpse of the past!!!
@@ansals1 the borewell water that you are talking about is due to years of rain water accumulation underground!!! Oversubscription of ground water thru borewells is drying up the water beds too!!! Rains are the only answer!!! And hopefully the corrupt politicians and bureaucrats don’t approve construction projects on dried lakes anymore 🙏🏼 else people will complain of floods ( basically, stop construction on dried lakes)
@@rashmibelur Besides kaveri river water........Bangalore gets enough rain to provide 40% of water needs but due to poor water management and no proper recharge facilities ........this "crisis" is created
The only people to blame for the present state of Bangalore are Kannadigas. While they may blame outsiders, the real reason for Bangalore's downfall is these voter card holding natives who have voted in the worst sort of politicians into power. That is the ONLY reason.
You can see the 'get out of bangalore if you dont like it" comments in 3....2....1.....
Thika mucho bjp soolemagane 😊
Mukesh Amban company has built a plant in Jamnagar, which can convert sea water into drinkable water..
Once pipelines are allowed across country. People would be happy again and no dependency on rainwater and water tanker corporations.
We need to understand who are the politicians n policy makers n what they are doing to resolve any problem...they r the root cause
After Mumbai, these politicians along with builders lobby will ruin Bangluru, Pune.
IT companies should allow their employees to work from home, at least till this crisis is sorted out.
No proper management of tn in kaveri water
They had good rains
No dams nothing by ther side just flow cauvery water to sea
Politicians + Land Mafia + Water Mafia + Human greed !!
How much cost for 10kl tanker?
Water should never be cheap, If it is, People will plan for 2-4 children. At least 30% of monthly income should go to water alone. That's how overpopulation gets controlled. We are at least ten times more than the resources we have.
Someone made sense
In that case food and other necessities should also never be cheap.. right?
@@jj2000100
Absolutely, that's how you have a peaceful life. If people have 2-4 children in a overpopulated country, there will be huge competition for a small private job
, salaries will be too low, traffic, pollution, adulteration, deforestation, river pollution , underground water depletion will all increase. In a drought situation 80% population will suffer more.
Better educate people instead of bringing such stupid ideas , thought I was going to faint after reading your comment. Ur education and corruption with bad governance are your problems. Also cultural issue which we refuse to acknowledge. Problems are going to get worse in next few decades u can't store water for next century better educate populace and prepare for future.
@@vinaykumar-ld3yi in that case don't you think it's ironic if you look back in history, may be look till 1950's or 60's, what you suggested never really works.
Back then there was food scarcity, people were poor and large populations were under poverty and yet most families had 6-7 children. The fertility rate was around 5-6.
It is a major problem for Indian cities and towns, but people being unaware of this disaster (human created).
Is there an end to this concrete jungle or not? How long we have to suffer?
75% ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಭೂಮಿ ಕಾಂಕ್ರೀಟ್ ಇಂಟರ್ಲಾಕ್... ಅನುಭವಿಸಿ.😢
does tn needs more water?
Bangalore crowd its high when all over india state peoples are moving on City so water problem and traffic, IT parks and builders using high water
Best informative
Population is high ,IT gaints should limit workforce, by allowing ppl WFH , that ease the issue to some extend, when high consumers ,less resources , definitely worsen issue, summer is yet to come, now itself situvations going bad, hope Govt will interfere.
Chennai has biggest lake like veeranam but Bengaluru no big lakes
All levelled encroached
Even today so many people are washing their cars and washing veranda every day with water running in pipe continuously. God only can save.
Yeaaaaaah u are ri8
Unnecessarily washing cars and bikes daily
Hyderabad and Pune to follow soon. 😢
Good News
Start rain water harvesting when monsoon starts
It's a big nexus...who r these water tanker suppliers n from where they came in picture
Manyata tech park surrounding borewells have gone dry, tractor people demand 800rs per tractor, which was 300rs before, middle class and poor are the one most affected by it.
Why don't you adapt cloud seeding?
Cause it's useless , damages crops and ecosystem for very small amount of gain also you distrupt climate cycle.
It was very clear from the beginning that the city is/ was growing beyond its infrastructural capacity. Rivers are rain fed and not snow fed as in north india. Since rivers dry up in summer the water scarcity is obvious. Moreover, water for irrigation and for industrial requirements were increasing every year. In the same way, population increased due to migration putting more pressure on water availability.
This year due to scarcity of rain the problem is serious. This will repeat again and again in a much more serious way.
Water can b stored by recycling and more water table to recharge by wells and ponds
The depletion of groundwater reserves and pollution of water bodies in Bengaluru demand immediate action.Groundwater recharging is a sustainable approach to combatting water scarcity. By capturing rainwater and allowing it to percolate into the ground, we can replenish groundwater levels and ensure a steady supply of water
Who are tanker owners?
When urbanisation and development, IT investments are limited to 1or 2 cities, population density, immigrants increase & natural resources deplete.example -bengaluru & Hyderabad.
PEOPLE & GOVERNMENTS MUST IMMEDIATELY CONCENTRATE ON FAMILY PLANNING.
POPULATION GROWTH IS THE MAIN REASON FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS !!! AT LEAST
NOW THE GOVTS. MUST PLAN TO SAVE THE RAIN WATERS AND TAKE STEPS TO UTILISE THE WASTE WATER EVERYWHERE & REGULATE WATER FOR EVERY HOUSE.
All Leave BANGLURU ASAP it going to get worse these fool will ask for 60 % water for them
force Northindians to speak Kanada...water level will increase automatically.
The first line from the Urban Planner is which we need to understand.
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಉತ್ತರ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಲ್ಲಿ

Please think deeply you will understand, whenever congress rules you will notice power cut and water scarcity, this is my experience, I am not supporting any party, I don't trust any politicians.
High raise buildings are the main reason for water depletion. And Bengaluru is full of it.
Don't worry DK Shivakumar will solve the problem by putting Tax on Mandir. He has gone to Shimla for solving internal fight of Congress
IT companies can close some offices in Banglore and other metro cities and can shift to tier 2 cities this will reduce some burden on these cities, why IT companies can't understand that educated workforce is also available in these cities
Politicians and tankers together won't allow kaveri connection for sure.
In and around Bangalore, population are above the bottle neck. Why ? How ? Whose mistake ? Just think whether the Government or otherwise.
In our area we are paying 1500 per tanker.
centralizing all facilities is the shameless mistake done by Central and State Govt throughout india. sustainability in a high concentration of human is near to impossible. when will the people stage war against this over centralization of faciliies in the name of Capital City.
WFH is going to be permanent in near future then. ❤
Stop making IT companies in Bengaluru make them in other parts of country so people will go over there 😝
Yeaaaah 90 percent IT companies are in bangalore only....
but why there are lots of cities in India too....
Inter linking of rivers is the best solution, kavery, pennar, ganga
Just wait and see. This will now be easily blamed on Congress even though BJP was ruling the state for more than a decade and did nothing.
Absolutely! Congress has done wonders for 65 yrs, now BJP has destroyed the country in the last 10...😂

I was happy in my hometown for 3 years until they asked to return to office in Bangalore. ☹️
Put 5 more ring roads and 1000 more IT Parks and 5000 more high rise gated communities 😂😂😂😂. And wonder why ground water is drying up.
Next Bengaluru is Pune. Traffic is worse, Air, Water, Noise pollution is at its peak. Recently mosqueto tornado seen over the river which flows through the city, the video went viral. Water mafiya in Pune is very strong, they create artificial shortsge of water and sell water tank for around Rs 1500 to 2000 per tank.
The rainwater-harvesting scheme, initiated by Tamilnadu's erstwhile C M JAYALALITHA for all cites in TN is the only solution to this problem. Thanks
No intelligent lifeform took birth in that place after that?.
It is over crowded city , it doesnt have infrastructure to handle this..
Yeaaaaah u are ri8
Karnataka minister K J George himself is a real estate tycoon.... He is misusing his power.... Result ? Bengaluru people are suffering......
Miss my childhood days of Bangalore 😢😢😢
:( Really sad to hear this news. I will pray for Karnataka to get more rainfall. we know the pain. prayers from TN
Dear government kindly take steps to reduce the Indian population which is drastically increasing and never going down
Tankers are really a headache, there is no water . 😢
1200 feet ah 😮😮😮
Govt should ask all bengaluru non locals to move to their home towns in KA, AP, TN, KL, MH etc. for 3 months, wherever WFH applicable. create a bangalore mini lock down till the start of monsoons and meanwhile address all the iisues on water within city. Difficult to fix issues while people crowded with operating regulartly.
Everyone was responsible for destroying and destruction of global warming... Only talking about issues never enough...
Railway experimented with Atmospheric Water Harvesting machine at Trichy Divisional office. Its a pioneering effort to be appreciated. Its working! There are manufacturers in India like Air-o-water etc!
Govt should stop taking GST, Stamp duty, Income Tax, Capital Gains tax, Property Tax if govt & administration can not provide 140 litres of drinkable water per person per day.
Industries, development, construction, population, all to blame
Water problem resist even in Bangalore East where the kaveri drinking water is fully spoiled by certain people due to which the entire city is suffering from water problem no one even the BWSSB is least bothered on the clean and clear water supply. BBMP supply RS 10/- per can which is not sufficient in this summer. Government has to take some steps to supply clean drinking water through BWSSB
The city that sucks you dry
These tanker lorries that steal ground water to supply rich neighbourhoods are a big nuisance in other cities as well
We elect people who have nothing but self interest
Rain water is not saved bzc all the roads coverd with cement, before land use to observe all the rain water but now
Population in Bangalore is getting Crazy and so many apartments people should make more lake and recharge ground as much as possible water is a business in Bangalore
sewage to fresh water can meeting atleast 50% of drinking water demand of banglore as per thr own study
I think going by the amount of 'expansion' going day by day and the number of high-rises are getting approved, this city is going to HALT with no water this year itself.
Land use requires regulation to answer Art 39(b). Land is owned by the Union,NOT by the state as wrongly understood so far. Private ownership is ONLY a perpetual lease as understood in English law brought here by the Government of India Act,1858, and continues as existing law. Judges are sublimely ignorant of this, as of many things in law.
