This project aims to address Bengaluru’s summer water crisis through a comprehensive demand–supply analysis. It integrates geospatial data, public source datasets, and other climate data to generate maps on water stress, forecast future demand for water, explore future water needs and also identify flood-prone areas and groundwater-stressed zones. The project aims to explore digital geospatial data analytics to organize multi-stack GIS data including time series data from space for suitable solutions. The study also plans to identify strategies related to rainwater harvesting and wastewater reuse. The outcomes of the project shall be brought out into public domain for sensitization and possible usage by the concerned authorities. This shall aid the Planners and decision makers to appropriately utilize the outcome towards possible implementation for sustainable use of resources. A GIS layer depicts outcome map of the research.
