The approach to designing water landscapes in Bangalore combines ecological restoration with urban beautification. Rehabilitation projects typically involve creating wetlands, planting native vegetation, and improving water quality through natural filtration systems. The redesign of these areas also includes developing surrounding parks, walking paths, and recreational facilities. A noteworthy example is the makeover of Jakkur Lake into a versatile urban space. This project has implemented bio-filtration systems to handle stormwater, increased biodiversity by creating wetlands, and established surrounding green spaces for public use. These designs seek to integrate water management into daily urban life, offering environmental and social benefits. However, the article criticizes the focus on aesthetic and recreational aspects, which can sometimes overshadow practical water management needs. While these transformations create appealing public spaces, they must also address underlying issues such as water scarcity, pollution, and equitable access. Emphasizing high-profile projects risks neglecting smaller, less visible but equally important interventions required in less affluent areas of the city.
