Description:
As the city of Bengaluru grows with its burgeoning population, the demand for water is growing with it. The current availability of 870mld will be added with another 100mld by 2012. Can it quench the thirst of Bengaluru, its people, animals, greenery, industries etc…? Will there be equitable distribution? Will it cost more? Will the BWSSB increase its efficiency and reduce the current level of unaccounted water? How can the BWSSB achieve this total solution? Many issues will determine the answers to these questions.
