Water Supply

Reusing treated wastewater can help reduce freshwater demand. But how to ensure well functioning STPs in apartments that provide quality treated water?

A gated society with 60 villas that was dependent on tanker water supply, especially in the summer months, has managed to go tanker-free this year.

A majority of slum residents depend on public borewells for water, which they use for cooking and drinking without filtering, at great risk to health.

Many Bengalureans are now building shallow open wells or recharge wells, and drawing good-quality water from these for their daily needs.

Open and recharge wells are an integral part of managing groundwater. Listen to BWSSB officials, experts and citizens share their experiences.

“The Water Solutions Lab focuses on both design and policy. Technology has to be coupled with correct policy making to properly utilise the technology.”

BWSSB, experts, and apartment residents discuss successful models of managing water demand – from water metering to reuse techniques.

Attend a webinar on November 20, on the ways to reduce water demand at the individual and community levels, and the government rules on these.

BWSSB now mandates apartments to install internal water meters, but many apartment associations find it’s not easy.

Interview: “It’s not a good idea to blindly take what was done in this study and try to do it all over the place. Human behaviour is highly context specific”.

What made Bengaluru one of the leaders in rainwater harvesting in India – a webinar organised by Biome and Citizen Matters had BWSSB, Jal Shakti Ministry and citizens sharing their insights.

BWSSB, Jal Shakti Abhiyan and BIOME in collaboration with Citizen Matters Bengaluru are hosting a webinar on rainwater harvesting in Bengaluru.
