Generally, large mega cities are either next to a river or a sea. However, this is not the case with Bengaluru. In order to secure the water requirements of Bengaluru, there is a need to transfer (pump) the water from almost 100 kms (upstream). Hence, procuring water for a city like Bengaluru is an extremely expensive affair. As a result, we cannot have a disproportionate reliance on Cauvery water & must therefore focus on increasing ground water levels and sustaining the lake ecosystem.

This is equally applicable for Hyderabad as well.

Sooner Hyd will see similar impact with all the high rises coming up in catchment areas
