BBMP approves 250 percolation pits to address water scarcity BENGALURU, Karnataka: The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has approved the creation of 250 percolation pits and the recharging of several borewells within urban parks, in response to the severe water scarcity experienced across the city. This significant initiative, with a budget of ₹2.5 crore, is designed to address water scarcity issues and bolster groundwater levels within the city. Chandrashekhar MR, BBMP's Deputy Director of Horticulture, Karnataka, confirmed that the department's proposal to tender the construction of percolation pits has received administrative clearance. The project will encompass two primary rainwater harvesting systems: the installation of percolation pits and the adoption of borewell-recharge techniques. Chandrashekhar explained that the initiative aims to enhance groundwater reserves through effective rainwater harvesting, ensuring sufficient moisture for the plants and trees in BBMP parks. Additionally, strategically positioned borewell recharge systems within these green areas will also help in rejuvenating groundwater sources. “Rainwater harvesting will push up the groundwater table and enable the deep roots of trees to get sufficient water from these structures. We prefer to recharge borewells situated in the parks to rejuvenate them,” he said.
