B'luru wastes 50% of water it gets from Cauvery 
Bengaluru wastes nearly 50% of the ​water it receives from the Cauvery river, according to IndiaSpend water-use data analysis. Out of 140 crore litres being pumped to Bengaluru per day, over 60 crore litres goes to waste owing to distribution losses like leakages in water supply system. This comes amid protests across Karnataka over sharing Cauvery water with Tamil Nadu.
