groundwater management in Sarjapur, Bangalore,it examines the nature of the problem in some detail. Wipro’s program can be characterized as a social experiment in progress that is centred around the ideas of decentralized,
citizen-led governance of groundwater. This requires an artful blending of a rigorous, data-driven approach based on hydrogeological science and a decision-making template that is citizen-driven and participatory. Emerging from this is a key axiomatic principle that businesses must learn to look beyond the notion of efficiency. Water is a boundaryless issue and efficiency-based approaches result in limited outcomes that prevent the ability to look at the larger picture.
It is increasingly imperative, therefore, that businesses recognize the changing nature of the water problem and embed such an inclusive approach in their risk management strategies.
