Bengaluru introduced two key initiatives aimed at improving urban water access. The 'Sanchari Cauvery' system uses GPS-tracked water tankers to deliver clean drinking water within 24 hours of booking through a mobile app, promoting transparency and affordability. In addition, the 'Sarala Cauvery' initiative streamlines the process of acquiring new water connections, allowing payment in instalments to ease the financial burden on poor and middle-class urban families. These steps reflect the city’s commitment to addressing water accessibility challenges through technology and inclusive planning.
