Bengaluru has banned the use of drinking water for non-essential activities such as washing vehicles, watering gardens, cleaning roads and footpaths, and construction work, as the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) moved to conserve water amid El Niño-linked disruptions to the monsoon.
The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board said the restrictions have been introduced to ensure drinking water security for the city while promoting the judicious use and conservation of water.
