This lecture is part of a series on Nourishing Cities a quarterly thematic at mod. foundation.
There is no public health without environmental health! In the name of development, water bodies and agricultural lands of city are vanishing, while the quantity and diversity of food and agricultural produce consumed by Bengaluru has exponentially increased. It is imperative to acknowledge that human health is intricately linked to the health of these urban systems and networks and to recognise an urgency in understanding the interdependence of lives, livelihoods and resources across urban and peri-urban areas.
In this lecture, S Vishwanath, fondly called zenrainman , will talk about the past, present and future of a city and its waters, with emphasis on Bengaluru. Drawing from his decades of experience in the realm of water management, he will speak on sustainable practices for water management integrating them with the gorund realities.
