The presence of 380 recharge wells inside the layout has been a reliable method to recharge groundwater levels. But with sewage-mixed water entering the layout through the stormwater drain, the groundwater is getting contaminated, causing concern. Residents say that, despite multiple requests, there haven’t been any efforts from Palike officials.
According to the claims made by the BBMP, it removed silt from the lake, constructed a wetland and waste weirs, created a sewage diversion system so that untreated sewage does not enter the lake and fenced the boundary of the lake.
