Of the over 200 lakes in and around Bangalore, only 12 have remained unpolluted, A.S. Sadashivaiah, Chairman of the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) said.
The unchartered growth of electroplating industry over the years has been one of the reasons for pollution of water bodies, and the chromium concentration has increased in the groundwater, he said while speaking at the International Conference on ‘Bioremediation and Environmental Management and Polar Science and Technology'.
