Tune in to listen to @rajbhagatt to understand systemic and natural reasons why #Bengaluru floods, and what can be done about it.
Despite being 900m above the sea level, why does this water logging happen?

Topography of ancient #Bengaluru was apt for making bunds/tanks along the valley to support irrigation.

Now these tanks and bunds became interconnected network of lakes.

(1/n)
Developments (roads, elevations, buildings) started happening around these valleys and lakes.

This prevents percolation of water underground

So many of the heavily flooded areas fall in the valley region

Ex:
Rmz ecospace.
Manyata tech park
Kendriya Vihar

When multiple attempts to contact his local govt. authority went ignored, Hanumanth took the responsibility onto himself to clean up the streets of his village.
Having discovered that hoards of garbage littered his streets unchecked, he stepped out of his comfort zone and reached out to his local Panchayat authority to have it cleared.
Upon no response, Hanumanth planned a campaign with the children of his village who helped him and other volunteering community members clean up the garbage and dispose it.
