Abstract: While there has been extensive research done on water pollution in Bangalore and its increasingly pernicious effect on local water bodies and communities, little has been done to collate information on local solutions to water pollution. This research paper aimed to research the causes of water pollution, consequences of water pollution, awareness levels of water pollution, and local suggestions and recommendations to help mitigate water pollution. Results of secondary research through literature and primary research using a google form on one hundred and three respondents showed that most residents, both within a kilometer and beyond that are aware of the presence and consequences of water pollution. However, there is much variance regarding possible solutions to water pollution in rural or slum-based communities. Nevertheless, this study narrowed down a few effective and salient suggestions to improve water pollution, such as waste relocation and watershed production.
