How do we solve #BengaluruWaterCrisis? Our report attempts to clarify how water flows through the city - where water comes from, how it's supplied, how much is wasted, what happened to the city's lakes. We distilled a few data points for @the_hindu: bit.ly/3Tu995X 🧵

In any city, there are cooler areas, hotter areas and hottest areas. The older parts or more tree covered parts of Bengaluru, are not screaming that much about heat, as the newer and highly concrete areas of the IT corridor in the east.

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.

Been silent on the whole Holi in Blr thing because if people from blr only don't understand that it's not our festival (in the way it's celebrated in the north) + why there's no holiday, what will I tell the migrants lol

@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)

Ok folks, here’s one for the ice cream aficionado. What ice cream place/s would absolutely recommend in Namma Bengaluru? And what should one try when there? Thank you.

Featured | @ShashankPalur was quoted in a @DeccanHerald article on why experts think that the nearly 1,000 recharge wells that the BWSSB dug last summer may not be enough to see an improvement in the city's groundwater levels. Read the article here: bit.ly/41sKAKG
