The fight for water in Bangalore: Is India's Silicon Valley drying up? | DW Documentary

In Bangalore, the ‘Silicon Valley of India’, drinking water is becoming scarce. The consequences of climate change - with its long periods of drought - are hitting the high-tech metropolis in the state of Karnataka hard. How did it come to this? Bangalore has been a symbol of resilience for centuries. But today, the metropolis in the south of India is facing a major crisis: Water shortage. The city of 13 million people rose to international glory as the new Silicon Valley. But these accomplishments are fading. Decades of growth and the increasing scarcity of natural resources are part of the problem. So are urban sprawl, complacent local politicians and an overall lack of vision. Can this international hub still be saved? What are the local, national and international responses to this global water shortage problem? Beijing, Mexico City, Barcelona, Melbourne and Cape Town... A total of 10 megacities are in danger of experiencing day zero, when they will no longer have drinking water during increasingly frequent periods of drought. With global warming, the resilience of cities is undergoing a "stress test”. How will it end? #documentary #dwdocumentary #dwdocs #india #water ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.
