Up to 95% of the water in some of Bengaluru’s lakes is sewage, not rain. Lakes that once followed the monsoon cycle now remain full year-round, sustained by wastewater.
@nihilismpro I enjoy that when I am driving around, I don't get attacked by stray water balloons or over enthusiastic "coloured" people in the streets. Happy to be called the grumpy old man for this.

@nihilismpro P.S I agree with you, techbros coming in with near zero knowledge of city planning and spending most of their bangalore life within the walled gardens of indiranagar, Koramangala and HSR would hardly care to learn about the evolution of the city.
@nihilismpro The stark difference between planning the outskirts is visible when you look at the difference between two satellite areas, Yelahanka (pic 1) and Hoskote-Whitefield(pic 2)
We are delighted to announce the signing of a memorandum of understanding between WELL Labs and @NIUA_India! This partnership marks the beginning of a strategic collaboration to advance evidence-based research, advocacy & innovation in water resilience & nature-based solutions.
Rapid urbanisation, encroachment, and poor governance have led to the degradation of Bengaluru’s lakes, once important for water storage and flood control.
