Bengaluru, India’s major technology hub, has implemented strict restrictions on the use of drinking water in response to a severe water shortage driven by a prolonged dry spell. Local authorities have banned the use of potable water for non-essential activities, such as washing vehicles, gardening, and construction projects. This decision comes as depleted groundwater levels and dried-up borewells leave millions of residents facing acute water scarcity, prompting the government to impose fines on violators to conserve remaining resources.
- The water crisis in Bengaluru has been triggered by a weak monsoon season, leading to severely depleted groundwater reserves.
- Local authorities have banned the use of potable drinking water for non-essential purposes, including gardening, washing vehicles, and construction.
- A fine of 5,000 Indian rupees will be imposed on those found violating the new water usage restrictions.
- Thousands of borewells across the city have run completely dry, forcing residents to rely heavily on expensive private water tankers.

Modi wants to pay for rebuilding the tropical rain forests in the East Africa, which is much cheaper than distributing water in pet-bottles. He may send bills to China, Japan, nations in Southeast Asia, etc., that sit in the downstream of the monsoon. It may include America, that sits in the further downstream. Modi may ask merchants in Singapore to mediate the project and the money flow.
