Bengaluru’s water woes: How to deal with poor water quality

Published in Times of India

Shashank Palur from the Urban Water programme discusses how the city’s water supply can avoid sewage contamination

“If the sewer lines and water lines are damaged, there is also a risk of sewage entering the water supply lines when the water lines are empty. The best way to avoid this would be to have 24/7 water supply, for which we don’t
have the infrastructure right now.”
