Conserving Water In Bengaluru

Water shortage is resurfacing as Bengaluru prepares for a scorching summer. Despite numerous difficulties resulting from the city’s elevation, Bengaluru is one of the few cities in the nation with a reliable supply of drinking water thanks to the River Cauvery. According to the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewage  Board,  the average water supply in Bangalore city is between 100 and 125 lpcd, but the average water demand is close to 150 to 200 lpcd. All 1,450 million litres of water enter the city silently each. Only after water is used in the city, a huge percentage of it is treated and delivered to the areas nearby that are prone to drought. Lakes will be refilled with this used water, groundwater will be recharged, and farmers will have access to it for agricultural production.

According to the reports of the NITI Aayog, 21 cities in the country including Bengaluru will run out of groundwater, if not used consciously. Every drop you conserve today will benefit you in the future.

Why Should We Conserve Water?

Conserving water can increase the lifespan of your septic system by lowering soil overload and lowering leak-related contamination. Untreated wastewater may also flow into lakes and rivers as a result of overburdened city and county sewer systems.

Especially homes in Bengaluru, if we don’t conserve water, then definitely we have tough days ahead because saving water saves nature.

Saving water also makes natural disasters like droughts less likely. We must reuse water in proportion to how much more we can save by reducing its consumption. For future generations, water conservation is essential. Unless we become concerned starting today, they won’t have enough access to water.

Conclusion

We must first comprehend that it is everyone’s responsibility to preserve water. No institution or agency of the government can assist us in conserving water unless we want to. The time is ripe to do so now. Water is the basic element of living organisms. Just imagine a life without sufficient water. Tough right? It’s our responsibility to save water.
