A possible solution for Bengaluru’s water crisis: Data

The Hindu  

As Bengaluru grows further outwards and faster than it can cope, water supply is one of the first casualties. Map 4 | The map shows the BWSSB water supply lines in Bengaluru. Currently, only one third of the city’s wastewater is redirected for external reuse, which means it is taken to Kolar, Chikkaballapur, and Devanahalli where it is used to replenish both groundwater and surface water sources. Once treated to the required quality, wastewater can significantly mitigate freshwater consumption and can be crucial in making the city water resilient during low rainfall years.
