Dear Bengalurean - Bengaluru is grappling with a severe water crisis. Here’s what we are doing wrongly:   This crisis is exacerbated by misguided attempts at conservation.   One such approach is the widespread usage of single-use cups, which, despite its seeming convenience, has unintended consequences.   Water is used extensively in the production of each disposable cup, from the extraction of basic materials to the manufacturing and cleaning procedures.   In spite of this, they are now frequently seen as part of Bangalore's water conservation initiatives.   This method exposes a basic misconception about water saving.   Bengaluru uses band-aid solutions that make the issue worse rather than tackling the underlying causes, such as urbanization and ineffective infrastructure.   Furthermore, the use of throwaway cups devalues water by pointing to a disposable culture.   I think that systemic reform and sustainable alternatives need to be Bengaluru's top priorities to really address the situation.   Only then can the city hope to secure a sustainable water future.   Do you agree with my perspective? Let me know in the comments below. #iluvbengaluru
