BWSSB Assures Bengaluru Has Adequate Water Reserves Amid Supply Challenges
Bengaluru currently has sufficient drinking water reserves, with BWSSB assuring no immediate shortage despite erratic monsoon rains and below-normal rainfall in parts of Karnataka. Reservoirs like Krishnaraja Sagar and Kabini hold around 223 TMC of water, enough for seven to eight months. However, some apartment communities face water supply challenges, leading to increased reliance on private water tankers with rising prices. BWSSB plans to sign MoUs with apartments under the Sanchari Cauvery scheme to provide more reliable bulk water supply and address demand concerns.
