Cauvery Water in Bangalore was the first big step taken by the government to meet the growing water needs of the city. But that is not enough to solve the crisis now. Citizen Action Forum has a more sustainable approach.

What the BWSSB is doing is tokenism, piece-meal, ad-hoc and on “pilot” basis, says former top bureaucrat.

How much of water from the Cauvery Stage IV, Phase II is reaching citizens? Which areas are getting it? If your area is supposed to be covered and you are still not getting water, here’s why.

BWSSB’s project in South Bangalore is surveying water leakage and fixing leaks and water thefts, to reduce the Unaccounted For Water by 40%.

Water on wheels. But where is it rolling in from? Is it safe to consume that water? Despite notification to set up a monitoring system, no one’s actually monitoring the water bearers of the city.

The city council allocated crores of rupees last year for rainwater harvesting at parks, playgrounds and BBMP buildings. What happened?

Scarcity of water has touched new lows in Whitefield, but how is water supplied to certain communities alone in the locality? asks Sheeja Nair.

BBMP has allocated Rs 30 cr for setting up RWH pits in the city. But faulty design may render much of this useless.

Four years for a bill to give teeth to a government body is a long wait. LDA currently takes care of only six lakes in the city.

Some water for all and not all water for some tops the wish list. That the Vrishbhavati River would not be a foam river isn’t far behind on the list.

Residents of an apartment complex in Bommanahalli off Hosur Road found out that they needed police protection to dig a borewell in their own compound.

City’s water management is shoddy at its best, leaving Bangaloreans thirsty and prone to illnesses.
