"The completion of the transcontinental railroad was especially timely for a nation in pursuit of Manifest Destiny, which disregarded the realities of climate and the native peoples who occupied the land in favor of spreading American industrialism and progress from coast to coast. Politicians, speculators, and homesteaders were eager to exploit the promise of the West’s seemingly endless resources and would be quick to deny the hard truth that lives and livelihoods depended on one all-important ingredient: water."

Almost 30 Bangalore Lakes Killed For Urbanisation! No Wonder We Are Facing A Water Crisis!

To the point: In light of the looming water crisis, we take a look at Bangalore’s lakes that were encroached for urban structures.
Once known as the City of Thousand Lakes, Bangalore barely has enough lakes anymore to retain its beautiful title. In fact, it was described as a ‘City of Burning Lakes’ in an article by The Guardian, a couple of years ago. Considering the impending threat of water crisis in the city, with reports saying Bangalore will run out of groundwater by 2020, the disappearance of lakes is an issue worth delving into.

From an approximate of 920 tank and lakes in the 1960s, Bangalore has now come down to just over 100 lakes, as per reports from 2012. With just 17 lakes existing in the centre of the city, we’ve lost more than 20 of these water bodies to urbanisation! Whether it’s to build up swanky apartment buildings or infrastructures like bus stands and terminals, several lakes were encroached. We’ve compiled a list of some of the major lakes (out of the 25) which were lost to urbanisation, becoming concrete jungles.
Challaghatta Lake was changed to Karnataka Golf Association
Koramangala Lake was changed to National Games Complex
Siddikatte Lake has now become KR Market
Karanji tank is now the Gandhi Bazar area
Nagashetty Halli Lake became Department of Space
Kadugondanahalli Lake is now Ambedkar Medical College

Dharmambudhi Tank has become Majestic Bus Stand
Domlur lake changed to BDA layout
Millers lake was replaced by Guru Nanak Bhavan, Badminton Stadium
Sampangi Tank has become Kanteerava Sports Complex
Chenamma Tank was converted into a burial ground in Banashankari 2nd Stage

Dasarahalli Tank was converted into Dr. B.R Ambedkar Stadium
Adding to this, there are several lakes which were encroached for residential layouts, grounds and other structures.
While taking over lakes might have met the urban needs of the city at that point in time, it has, unfortunately, led us to the current water shortage we’re facing. And, the only way out is to start acting now!
