Tanker water rates across Bengaluru, February 2015

In February 2015 we collected data from citizens on how much they were paying for tanker water. Here are the results.

Though Bengaluru’s weather has been a tad moody the past couple of days, it is common knowledge that come summer, as the temperatures rise, so will the water tanker prices.

Earlier this year, Citizen Matters had assisted in collecting data for a joint study between a student from MIT’s Department of Urban Studies and Planning, and IIM Bangalore’s New Real Estate initiative on the water tanker industry in Bangalore. Here are the results from the survey.

This map aims to give information about water tanker rates across the city of Bangalore, and an insight into the availability (or lack of) water in these areas. Click on a map pin and the relevant information for that area will pop up.

The map will show how much people are paying in another area. You can compare the price, and identify the areas with water shortage, where the price will naturally be high.If someone is charging you heavily, you will know it by looking at the map.&nbsp

We are also looking to track the variation in pricing with seasons. You can also share any information regarding water tankers and pricing, by filling the form below. The data you share will be added to the map.

In a recent article, we examined how the project may lead to the displacement of farmers.

Unable to sell or mortgage their lands, some landowners face significant financial distress. With the unavailability of affordable and fertile lands, farmers will now be forced to migrate. However, the concerns of the farmers and landowners are pressing: they believe that…

Bengaluru’s Peripheral Ring Road: Two decades on, who really benefits?

The Bengaluru Business Corridor project risks displacing farmers and affecting land value, continuing the twenty-year struggle.

Krishna Ramesh, a farmer from Kachamaranahalli village, 21 km from the centre of Bengaluru, has lived under the shadow of a land acquisition notice since 2007. His five acres, the only land he owns, are among 2,558 acres notified for the Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) project, now rebranded as the Bengaluru Business Corridor. The land sustains his family, yielding over ₹1 lakh a month. If the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA), the project’s planning authority, proceeds with the acquisition, Krishna, who is also the General Secretary of PRR Raitha and Niveshannadharara Sangha, will be left landless—his livelihood dismantled, his future uprooted.…
