Encourage rainwater harvesting, re-using or using recycle water for flushing, watering lawn or garden, use recycled water for construction related work or site.

Storm water drain (SWD) networks can be used for the construction of reservoirs across the city.

There is one group in Bangalore called Citizens Action Forum who have come forward with an alternative proposal to reduce the dependency on Cauvery river.The proposal has already been placed in front of Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board and other officials. The alternate proposal emphasizes on rainwater collection through other different methods including rejuvenation and interlinking of 184 lakes around the city and to use them tactfully.
