Bengaluru’s Water Security - BDA’s Step Towards a Sustainable Future.
BDA Chairman Sri N. A. Haris inaugurated over 1,441 Rainwater Harvesting Percolation Wells constructed across BDA parks and residential premises at Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout, 4th Block.
Implemented in collaboration with United Way of Bengaluru under the One Billion Drops (OBD) initiative, the project has the potential to recharge an estimated 18.459 crore litres of rainwater annually through groundwater recharge.
Spread across 77 BDA parks and residential premises, the initiative will help reduce surface runoff, strengthen groundwater levels and contribute to Bengaluru’s long-term water resilience.
The BDA also launched GreenBengaluruByBDA.in, a digital platform to make its greening initiatives more transparent, measurable and accessible to citizens.
BDA officials and representatives of United Way of Bengaluru were present on the occasion.
