Water Distribution -
Bangalore
Bangalore is one of the fastest growing
cities with current population reaching
13 Million. On the other hand the water
resources are depleting. We are at a
tipping point to better manage and
distribute this vital resource.

Competitive demand has created

uneven distribution of water in different
socioeconomic backgrounds.

The study of water distribution thus

becomes crucial.
