In Bengaluru, India, communities have traditionally managed a network of water tanks of immense ecological importance. However, in the last half-century, urban development has increasingly threatened this blue network . Today's Bengaluru depends on long-distance water transfers that create political conflict and a dense network of private boreholes that are depleting the city's water resources. The restoration of the existing community managed water tanks network offers a more sustainable and socially just alternative for managing water resources.
