Lake Improvement Works Project: In a significant step towards environmental conservation, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Saturday officially handed over the fully restored Ittgalpura and Sadenahalli lakes to local authorities

Launched in October 2023, the Lake Improvement Works Project was aimed at enhancing drought resistance in areas severely affected by water stress. Many regions in Bengaluru rely entirely on groundwater and surface water for their needs due to a lack of access to natural water sources. Through this restoration project, RCB has played a crucial role in addressing these challenges.

Rajesh Menon, Vice President and Head of RCB, emphasised the significance of the project: "RCB’s Lake Improvement Works Project was designed to improve drought resistance in highly water-stressed areas in Bengaluru. By restoring these lakes, we hope to ensure water security for the local communities and reduce the risk of a future water crisis."
