Do you think this is a viable solution, especially since the data shows that prominent tech parks and the second runway of the Bengaluru airport lie in such areas? The shortage of land for good housing and commercial space also directly plays into this indiscriminate construction. In the short term, I think the government should compensate those who will be displaced and take over the land needed to widen the drainage channels. In the long term, there should be better monitoring of land-use to prevent future encroachments. The technical solution is to add more storage and drainage capacity. You could blame the landowners but they were just responding to incentives of the system. This then crosses the ORR again to the north near Marathahalli and joins Varthur lake and then flows out of the city. Are there such data resources available in India, and if so, do you think they are used properly? The flooding of Bengaluru, which is considered the ‘Silicon Valley of India’, has put the focus on poor city planning and encroachments on lakes, stormwater drains and land through which rainwater naturally flows. Why are areas in east Bengaluru seeing the most amount of flooding? So the people at Varthur have to deal with the run-off that comes all the way from the centre of the city! The rains that battered Bengaluru over the last few days have hit the headlines, as the city still struggles to solve the crisis brought on by severe inundation in many areas.
