Water Supply

Thippagondanahalli Dam, once Bengaluru’s main drinking water source, is now defunct because Arkavathi river is polluted, and running dry.

Here’s a list of all the government departments as well as groups of residents and interested ecologists who are looking after Bengaluru’s lakes.

Fish kill were seen in Ulsoor, Basavanapura, Muthanallur and Bhattarahalli lakes recently. What is the cause and how to prevent this?

Reusing wastewater is a critical step for conserving water, but what is holding back large-scale reuse? Researchers have identified six important factors.

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.
