Residents misused this resource and let the water flow in the drains. In order to supply water to the village, a pump house was constructed by Gram Panchayat a year ago. Also, we do not have water for domestic animals. We do not have water for the saplings, plants and trees in the farm. Fortunately this lake is not piled up with heaps of debris and garbage unlike the other lakes in the city.Speaking about the deteriorating condition of the lake, Ramesh, a resident of Basavappana Palya said, "The villages in and around Tatguni come under the agricultural zone.

Unlike many other lakes in the city which have shrunk due to encroachments or died due to free inflow of contaminated or sewage water, Kuppareddy lake, a landmark near Tatguni on Kanakapura Main Road, has died a slow death over the years due to lack of rains.The villagers nearby, once depended on this lake for drinking water.But today, the lake is nothing but a barren piece of land. The residents here can only hope that the lake will be restored in the coming years. The residents are left with no option but to depend on that." Currently, Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has constructed an open water tank where the water is supplied 24/7 for domestic animals. Kuppareddy Lake was last filled in the year 1998 and since then the lake has lost its glory. This lake is connected to another lake, Kare Thimmayya located in the Devika Rani estate. He added, "If the lake is back in its past glory, we can supply water to the entire village for the next four to five years. This is the first time that an attempt is being made by the authorities to restore this lake," said M G Nagaraj, Vice-president of Bangalore South Taluk Panchayat. Hence we are planning to opt for Right to Information (RTI) Act. Zilla Panchayat engineers have failed to answer our queries about restoration of the lake. Has any money been sanctioned for the restoration or the regeneration of the lake? "Former power minister and KJP leader, Shobha Karandlaje had released `30 lakhs from the minister's fund for the restoration of the lake but no development activity has taken place. Despite repeated complaints to restore the lake, no action has been taken by the authorities." But today, an engineering college and several houses have come up and demand for water has gone up. Raju, another resident who has been residing in Tatguni for the last 50 years, said that the lake has dried up due to rapid urbanisation and depleting ground water level. Today, we have to bear the brunt as there is severe water scarcity here."

DEAD DROPS: Secure: Yes, Reason: Even if you know someone is using a Dead Drop you still have to check everywhere, which is brute force, which means it’s a good system.TRENCHES IN WARFARE: Secure: Yes, Reason: They still make it harder to hit the enemy with bullets and artillery, even if the enemy knows you’re using trenches.Note: this is much stronger against general attacks than against targeted ones where the brute force is worth the energy.
