Scarcity of drinking water..!! people leaving Bangalore..!?
There is an unprecedented shortage of drinking water in Bengaluru, the capital of Karnataka. Unable to cope with this, the corporation's management is struggling. In this situation, there is a growing demand for IT employees to provide them with work-from-home facilities and educational institutions to conduct online classes for students. In this situation, this news has brought out the worst condition of the people of Bangalore.
Bhavani Mani Muthuvel and her family from Bangalore have only 100 liters of drinking water this week to use for cooking, cleaning, and household chores. Bhavani Mani has said that it is very difficult for her to take a bath, use the toilet, and wash up. A resident of Ambedkar said, "We usually rely on groundwater, but it is drying up." He said it was the worst water crisis he had experienced in 40 years. Ambedkar nagar is an unassuming residential area in Bangalore's Whitefield neighborhood near the posh headquarters of several global software companies.
Bengaluru sees unusually hot weather in february and March. In recent years, human-caused climate change has resulted in less rainfall. The water level is very low in many areas. As a result, the cost of drinking water has increased. Supply is rapidly dwindling. City and state government officials distribute water through tankers. At the same time, they are trying to bring the situation under control with emergency measures like controlling water usage. But water experts and many residents fear the worst will come in april and May when the summer heat is at its strongest. The crisis is long-standing, said shashank Palur, a Bengaluru-based hydrologist at the Water, Environment, Land and Livelihoods think tank. Balur says sadly that if this difficult situation continues, he will have to leave Bangalore.
