A resident of Ambedkar Nagar, a low-income settlement in the shadows of global software companies in Whitefield neighborhood, walks past the empty water cans outside her house in Bengaluru, India, Monday, March 11, 2024. “Bengaluru is one of the fastest growing cities in the world and the infrastructure for fresh water supply is not able to keep up with a growing population,” he said.Groundwater, relied on by over a third of the city’s 13 million residents, is fast running out. City authorities say 6,900 of the 13,900 borewells drilled in the city have run dry despite some being drilled to depths of 1,500 feet.
“Right now, everyone is drilling borewells in buffer zones of lakes. That is not the solution,” Ramachandra said.
