Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has called for expression of interest (EOI) from corporates to take up water projects in the city using cutting-edge technologies. The projects aim to remediate and treat sewage water in stormwater drains before it reaches the lakes, integrate green infrastructure with water and sewage treatment plants, and fill the lakes with treated water. This initiative is part of BWSSB’s efforts to alleviate the water crisis in Bengaluru and establish global standards in urban water management.
