In this thought-provoking and uniquely shot film, we explore the critical importance of preserving and restoring the lakes of Bangalore for the sustainability and livability of the city
Through stunning visuals, expert analysis, and compelling stories, we learn about the vital role that lakes play in mitigating the effects of climate change, providing valuable water resources, and sustaining local ecosystems
We begin by delving into the history of Bengaluru lakes or tanks, which were created over 1000 years ago by local communities to capture and hold rainwater
However, as the city grew, many of these lakes were encroached upon and destroyed for the sake of development, leading to a significant loss of biodiversity and increased urbanization
Through this film, we learn about the multifaceted benefits of preserving urban lakes
We see how these water bodies act as natural sponges, helping to mitigate flooding and prevent water scarcity during droughts
We also discover how they provide habitats for a wide range of plant and animal species, and act as natural filters, purifying the water we rely on for drinking and other uses
Furthermore, the film explores how urban lakes can play a critical role in mitigating the effects of climate change, by absorbing and storing carbon and helping to regulate temperature and humidity levels in urban areas and also learn about inspiring initiatives by local communities and organizations to restore degraded lakes and protect their ecosystems
Overall, this short documentary provides a powerful call to action for all of us to take responsibility for the health and well-being of our cities by protecting and restoring our natural resources
With insightful analysis and compelling stories, it is a must-watch for anyone interested in the future of Bangalore and our planet as a whole
