Abstract

Urbanization is a global phenomenon with profound consequences for the environment. As cities expand and populations grow, the impact of urbanization on natural resources, including freshwater bodies, becomes increasingly evident. Bellandur Lake, once a pristine natural asset, now faces severe environmental challenges, including pollution and encroachment. This research study explores the imperative need to induce rapport within the local populace to revitalize and protect the natural environment of Bellandur Lake. Amidst ongoing trends, Bangalore grapples with a dire water scarcity. This research is crucial now, promising broader insights and solutions. The research begins with a comprehensive assessment of the current state of the lake, encompassing water quality, ecosystem health, and surrounding environmental conditions. It identifies the multifaceted environmental threats and challenges confronting the lake and investigates the existing level of public awareness and perception regarding these issues. Furthermore, the research study delves into an examination of existing policies and governance structures related to the lake and provides recommendations for their enhancement to ensure comprehensive environmental conservation. It also establishes a monitoring and evaluation framework to assess progress and sustainability in lake revitalization. This research study not only serves as a comprehensive guide to the revitalization and protection of Bellandur Lake but also as a model for inducing populace rapport around critical natural assets elsewhere. By nurturing a strong connection between the local populace and the lake, it is aimed to ensure the long-term well-being of both the ecosystem and the community.
