Water problems!
DNA: Healthy pre-monsoon trends have indicated that Bangalore will have a good monsoon.
The city is expected to get more rain in the days to come, as part of the pre-monsoon showers before monsoon hits the city. Strong winds, an upper-air cyclonic circulation coupled with a low pressure area in the Arabian Sea, has set the perfect tempo for the monsoon to arrive in the city.
Speaking to dna, an official from the Bangalore meteorological centre said the city has had 89mm of rain so far in the pre-monsoon season and that another 29mm of rain is expected in the coming days.
“Bangalore’s normal pre-monsoon rainfall is expected at 118mm. We have had healthy pre-monsoon season and it has cooled the city sufficiently,” the official said.
The city is expected to receive 110mm of rainfall in May alone.
“This is because, as we approach monsoons, the pre-monsoon activity goes up and then dips. This is a regular phenomenon,” he said.
The Southwest monsoon is expected to be about three days late this year.
“Usually, monsoon hits the Kerala coast on June 1, but this year, the meteorology department has declared that it will arrive on June 3. All climatic conditions are healthy and monsoon should hit the city by June 7,” he said.
The temperature is also expected to go up by two degrees according to the department officials. “By the end of the month, we are expecting the temperatures to go up to 36° C,” he said.
Things are looking better on the water front, as the scenario might improve in the coming days. Rain is expected to be normal in the catchment areas of the Cauvery, which supplies water to the city.
Normally, from March 1 to May 15, Mandya, where Krishnaraja Sagar is located, is expected to receive 99mm of rain, but it has already received 101mm.
In Kodagu, which is the upstream area for Cauvery river, there has been near-normal rainfall, and although the average pre-monsoon rain in this catchment area is 171mm and has received just 141mm so far, the met officials are confident of more rain in the coming days.

What is a Green Building?
A green building is one which uses less water, optimizes energy, conserves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier spaces for occupants, as compared to a conventional building. A building is assessed based on its predicted performance over its entire lifecycle — inception through operation. The stages identified for evaluation are:
- Pre-construction: Intra- and inter-site issues like proximity to public transport, type of soil, kind of land, location, flora and fauna before construction activity starts, natural landscape and features
- Planning and construction: Issues of resource conservation and reduction in resource demand, resource utilization efficiency and recovery, reuse, and provisions for occupant health and wellbeing
- Prime resources considered are land, water, energy, air and green cover. Operation and maintenance: Of building systems and processes, monitoring and recording of energy consumption, occupants’ health and well-being and issues that affect the global and local environment.
