Apr 05, 2024

New Delhi [India], April 5: The unprecedented water crisis gripping the city of Bengaluru demands urgent attention.

Projections indicate an increase in water demand of approximately 800 million litres per day (MLD) by 2031. Moreover, marginalised communities bear the brunt of this crisis, facing limited access to clean water, heightened health risks, economic burdens and social disparities. This crisis can further have implications for public health, education and economic stability in Karnataka.
