The Bangalore Water Index

Neha_Dar - 26-MAR-2010

What is the Bangalore Water Index?

The Bangalore Water Index project aims to develop a means of quantifying the 'water health' of the city. This published index will track a judiciously selected set of parameters relevant to the water domain, using data released by government bodies like the BWSSB, technical information provided by NGOs and research institutions, information extracted through RTIs, as well as crowdsourced feedback from citizens.

Over a period of time, the index will draw a comparative picture of the quality, quantity, accessibility and reliability of water supply across various demographics and parts of the city, as well the responsiveness and effectiveness of government bodies in charge.


Why do we need a Water Index?

Why is this Project needed?

shekhar_mittal - 25-MAR-2010

For those who do not closely follow water issues and are wondering why a project like this is needed, I came across a very nice concise video at India water portal. It can be accessed here

It covers all the points which make you wonder where we are heading without getting into the details.

1. 50% of water supply gets lost due to inefficiencies.

2. The role of bottled water and tankers in our current water requirements.

etc.

Bangalore Water Index

Neha_Dar - 25-MAR-2010

Despite the popularity of traffic and transportation subjects here, water is a rather more serious issue facing our city. Here is an ambitious but interesting project to to pool together the energy of all water enthusiasts, and first design, and then regularly publish a "water index" for Bangalore.

Town Planning - Introduction

General:

The planet earth appears blue from outer space due to the huge amount of water covering the globe. The exposed land above this ocean water is only 30% the ocean water portion being the remaining 70%. India stands 7^th nation after Russia and china in its extant of land which is about 32,263 Sq km. This land asset available to the earthlings, which is the fundamental asset, is limited in its extent. This asset belongs to the entire life system that exists at any point of time on this planet. It can only be borrowed for temporary convenience by any life that exists on the planet at any time period.
