Water scarcity is an increasing global problem, specifically in urban areas. This is due to the unsustainable growing demand for water induced by the growing population. Electronics City is a prominent industrial township in Bangalore, India, housing about 293 companies.
This study has been undertaken to understand and realize the use of good practices to tackle water scarcity. The purpose of this study is to adopt these learnings and come up with key advancements to improve water management at Electronics City.
The township is highly dependent on external sources of tanker water from bore wells of the surrounding areas. The water scarcity is being caused not because there is no water in the township but because of the need for better management of the critical resource. Inequitable distribution of water is also leading to water scarcity among the smaller companies.
The analysis made from international community and decided to take informed decisions through better infrastructure development for different source of water with a combination of good governance, regulations, and efficient systems.
It is therefore recommended that Electronics City plan for a current and continuous water data collection that will facilitate taking informed decisions, implement an integrated water management system, improve governance and policies, improve infrastructure, and engage with stakeholders to improve conservation and reuse of water.
The current situation at Electronics City, learning’s from the international community, the gaps at Electronics city and recommendations for improvement are detailed in this case study.
