The document discusses water management practices in Rainbow Drive, a residential area in Bangalore. It summarizes how the community manages its water supply through centralized borewells and storage tanks. It also discusses the community's waste water treatment through two STPs and potential reuse of treated water. Over time, the community implemented various reforms like metering, tariff revisions, banning private borewells, and incentivizing rainwater harvesting to reduce water usage.

Sydney's water will run out by 2038 | Biocity StudioBiocity Studio
If water consumption does not become more efficiently Sydney will run out by 2038. To help solve this problem in the short term there will need to be an increase in price to help decrease the amount of consumption per household. For the long-term rainwater tanks and trading schemes. The goal is to help reduce the demand (5%-25%) and increase revenue for other schemes.

Abstract
Safe-Water crisis is one of the major crises that the world is facing today. It’s not about responsibility, it’s our duty to plan for water management and look for sources that can provide us clean and clear water. In a city where the population is increasing with respect to sources available, efficient use of water resource becomes much more important. Kolar Water Treatment Plant located in Bhopal, capital city of Madhya Pradesh is the biggest source of drinking water to a population of around 1.8 millions. This study was carried out for quality assessment of Kolar Water treatment plant .Complete data was collected and tabulated for a period of 6 months, and the performance of the plant was evaluated on the basis of the variation observed in parameters such as turbidity, alum dosage, pH, lime content. Climatic variation of the city also had a major impact on the performance of the plant .Results were compared to the existing BIS ( Bureau of Indian Standards ) and it was concluded that almost all parameters were well within the permissible range
