Many new neighbourhoods near IT centres like Whitefield and Sarjapura in Bengaluru are experiencing a water shortage. A severe water scarcity plagues the city as summer approaches. Residents, particularly in high-rise buildings, are anxiously seeking water. The situation is exacerbated by dry wells.

In Mira Bhayandar, Mumbai 24 ancient wells, some over a century old and others buried by builders, are set for revival with a ₹50 crore budget. This initiative aims to address the increasing water scarcity faced by the growing population.
