The overextraction of groundwater and reduced rainwater absorption pose severe risks to Bengaluru's water security. Peripheral areas relying on borewells face heightened vulnerability due to inadequate municipal water supply. Urban flooding is becoming more frequent as rainwater fails to infiltrate the ground, instead contributing to rapid surface runoff. The degradation of natural drainage systems and loss of permeable surfaces exacerbate these issues, leaving the city at risk of both water scarcity and flooding.
