In May 2015, the Cities Alliance Catalytic Fund supported BUMP, through a competetive grant-making process. The focus of this two year support will be on delivering results from the household water survey. The major new activity will be on measuring groundwater levels in 150-200 locations in Bangalore on a monthly basis. This will build the evidence base on static groundwater levels in the city, which in turn will inform groundwater models that we will build.

The support from Cities Alliance is gratefully acknowledged.
