Looking at the Bangalore water crisis, what solutions would you suggest to combat this crisis.
Add one more option
Don't encroach on the lakes and small rivers just to convert them into residential plots.
Companies should consider this as a pandemic type of situation and allow folks to work remotely from tier 2/3 cities. Or setup smaller offices in cities like Kochi, Chennai, Trivandrum (South), Hyderabad and Pune (North) and allow employees to work from there.
Bangalore is no longer an attractive Silicon Valley anymore; it's becoming a more "dried up policities valley".

The horse has bolted the stable.
Once you destroy ecologies, restoring them and resuming life as usual isn't an option.
This is not a new problem - it was already apparent in 2010. It's now crossed the tipping point with a population that cannot be supported with existing resources.
This is true... Once destroyed you cannot restore them. The lakes were not justa single item. The areas of greenery surrounding those lakes were the habitat. You can bring water to the lakes but the habitat is gone. That will never come back..
Rainwater harvesting is already mandatory for any building/ apartment above a specific size
Bangalore population should be reset to sustainable levels. Companies move out, enforce wfh, whatever. And that should maintained for eternity.
Its a ticking bomb which has exploded only now. It was bound to happen. Companies should take ques and considering moving teams to other cities and offload Bengaluru.
Why do you think bangalore is the only tier 1 city? Your poll options mention generic tier 1 city not just Bangalore. Then move option is only to tier 2/3 cities. Delusional much?
Abandon bangalore
