Bengaluru, which requires 2,100 million litres of water per day (MLD), is currently facing a shortage of 650 MLD, roughly 30% of its daily demand. With groundwater levels declining and the Cauvery River running dry, the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) is struggling with annual losses amounting to ₹1,000 crore ($115 million).
The initiative by LaundryMate and BAF aims to mobilize residential welfare associations across the city to adopt water-saving practices. As part of the campaign, communities that have demonstrated exemplary efforts in conservation were recognized for their contributions to tackling Bengaluru’s water crisis.
The campaign serves as a wake-up call for citizens to rethink their water consumption habits. By promoting collective action and innovative conservation strategies, LaundryMate and BAF hope to pave the way for a more water-secure Bengaluru.
