According to government reports, most of the housing projects do not comply with rainwater harvesting. To add to it, the increasing number of housing projects has also adversely affected the water table. Around 90% of the buildings in the city bank on water tankers and borewells. In accordance to a survey by the stamp and registration department, a number of flats are lying vacant in Bangalore, since homebuyers are afraid to purchase them due to water scarcity. Lack of water connection and tankers in such buildings have significantly contributed to the decline in possession of flats in Bangalore

Officials of sewage and water authorities of Bangalore further confirm that Cauvery water will not be available for the people of the city, since the state has utilized all it was allotted. The government is trying to find an alternative way such as getting water from Ettinahole, but this would consume a lot of time to get implemented

Water availability issue, within the city and its outskirts, is a matter of great concern.
There are a number of ways by which owner associations and homeowners can become more water efficient and help cut down the unnecessary water usage of a building. To add to it, the government has also advised people not to fall for the blitzkrieg advertisements of the developers for properties near city outskirts.
