The water crisis in Bengaluru is unlikely to have an impact on the Bannerghatta Biological Park (BBP), which is located in the outskirts of the city.
The BBP, which is home to around 99 species and more than 2,300 animals, will not be affected by the water scarcity, which is a result of deficit rains and depleting groundwater levels.
“Historically, during the summer months, there is shortage of water in the Bannerghatta region. However, we have been tapping into our borewells and surface water bodies inside the BBP to address this issue,” said A.V. Surya Sen, Deputy Conservator of Forests and Executive Director, BBP.
