Thirsty Cities: How Collaborative Efforts Contribute To Water Conservation, Caitlin Connell

Bengaluru's has a serious water problem—500 million liters short every day, according to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. It’s not just a local issue; big cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Delhi are facing similar issues. This highlights a bigger, nationwide water challenge that needs some clever and quick solutions.

A report from the Central Water Commission shows that major reservoirs are running lower than usual, which is pretty worrying. As cities grow and more people need water, they are looking at a tough situation that needs a mix of smart strategies to handle. In Karnataka and other places, it’s clear we need to start taking water management and sustainability more seriously.

Companies like Minimalist Hotels are using rainwater in their operations, and tech firms like FarmERP and Uravu Labs are coming up with new tech to help out. These efforts are key to using water wisely and making sure industries and farms don’t make things worse.

With water getting scarcer and demand increasing, we must work together on saving and managing our water resources better.

In order to conserve water and incorporate sustainable practices in its operations, Minimalist Hotels are using rainwater for various hotel activities including cleaning and watering plants. Hotels have complex water-use structures. It is estimated that hotel water consumption in 2020 was approximately 1.613 BMC, accounting for 1.87 percent of the country's domestic water consumption.
