In this May 3, 2018 photo, a man fetches water from a concrete tank in an upcoming residential neighborhood in Bangalore, India. India’s Silicon Valley is bracing for yet another thirsty summer. Faucets are running dry and the lakes that once nurtured the southern city of Bangalore and its nearly 10 million residents are either parched or fetid with toxic effluents. Much like Cape Town in South Africa, Bangalore’s water woes have been in the making for some time with years of unplanned urbanization, rapid population growth and poor management of water resources.
