The city of Bangalore, often referred to as the "Silicon Valley of India," is facing an acute water crisis exacerbated by rapid urbanization, population growth, and climate change. This research paper explores the multifaceted challenges that contribute to the city's water insecurity, including the over-extraction of groundwater, inadequate infrastructure, and inefficient water management practices. By analyzing current policies and frameworks, the study identifies key gaps and proposes innovative strategies to enhance water security in Bangalore. Emphasis is placed on the importance of sustainable water management practices, community engagement, rainwater harvesting, and the revival of traditional water bodies. The findings aim to provide actionable recommendations for policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders to ensure a resilient water future for Bangalore, addressing both immediate needs and long-term sustainability.
