Bengaluru Flood Solution Hidden Since 1923

Every monsoon, Bengaluru faces severe flooding.

Captain Santhosh Kumar noticed that the city's lakes remained dry while roads flooded.

He discovered that the problem was blocked storm water drains.

Using old maps from 1923, he traced forgotten drainage channels and helped restore a 4-kilometer-long waterway.

This solution kept his locality dry during heavy rains and led to the revival of 14 ancient lakes.

His work shows that sometimes, the best solutions are ones we've forgotten.
