Roads in Bengaluru are designed without keeping water recharge and drainage systems in mind, often leading to flooding in the city.
“If people see more cases of flooding because of poorly white-topped roads, they will believe that roads have a role in percolation. It’s the responsibility of the government to construct quality roads,” said Hari Prasad HK, senior research associate at WELL Labs, an NGO that designs solutions for land and water issues.
