Restoring Urban Lakes: A Community-Led Solution for Sustainable Water Management In cities across the world, urban lakes are vanishing at an alarming rate, succumbing to pollution, encroachment, and neglect. According to a 2021 report by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), over 70% of urban lakes in India are heavily polluted, making them unfit for human consumption and threatening aquatic biodiversity. In Bengaluru alone, once known as the โCity of Lakes,โ more than 85% of its lakes are contaminated with sewage and industrial effluents, turning them into toxic cesspools. This widespread degradation of lakes is not just an environmental issueโit has far-reaching consequences on public health, biodiversity, and urban resilience. By empowering local communities with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed for effective lake restoration, Earth5R has demonstrated how grassroots action can drive tangible environmental change.
