A recent study by a researcher from IIT Bombay has highlighted the alarming rate at which Bhopal's water bodies are disappearing due to urbanization. The data was gathered from the Copernicus Sentinel satellites of the European Space Agency, providing a clear picture of the city's environmental degradation.
According to the study, the rapid expansion of the city has led to a significant reduction in the number of lakes and water bodies, threatening the city's water supply and ecosystem. This trend, experts warn, must be addressed by government agencies to prevent Bhopal from turning into a concrete jungle.
The findings of the study serve as a wake-up call for the authorities to take immediate action in preserving the city's natural resources and ensuring sustainable development.
