This Bengaluru well was treated like a dustbin until residents revived it to hold 43,000 litres of water

So: in Sampangiram Nagar, an old stone well was once just a dumping ground full of plastic and debris. Now, thanks to a tough cleanup led by SayTrees Environmental Trust and local support, it’s been restored to hold over 43,000 litres of water. The well, 40 feet deep, was cleared out with a mix of manual labor and machinery, turning it from forgotten to functional.
