Water crisis: Installation drive for tap aerators to begin today in Bengaluru
Hindustan TimesThe Bengaluru water management body is all set to begin the installation drive for tap aerators in buildings, commercial establishments, restaurants, luxury hotels, industries, and other public areas in the city today in a bid to conserve water amid a severe shortage. The body had also placed restrictions over the usage of potable/drinking water for purposes such as washing cars, construction activities, gardening, and in fountains and swimming pools, among other things. V Ram Prasath Manohar, the chairman of the BWSSB, said authorities will start installation of aerators in buildings from today onwards, and stressed on the importance of the device, which can save up to 60 to 85 per cent water. Bengaluru as well as the rest of Karnataka, is grappling with a severe water shortage even before the full onset of summer as around 6,900 borewells across the city have dried up, with a low rainfall in the past monsoon season adding to the huge deficiency.
