The EAB conducts various activities on a regular basis, our focus areas include:

Seminars and workshops​
EAB has been active in organizing seminars, workshops, conferences and policy discussions.

Apart from these participants, there are always participants representing various stakeholders in Bangalore and other parts of Karnataka State.

Know-how for restoration of lakes
​EAB has been called upon to give technical guidance for treating the wastewater that flows into virtually every lake in Bangalore. Detailed technical designs have been given for lakes, such as Vasanthapura, Hebbal, Madivala, Bellandur, etc. The solutions have been accepted and the implementation has confirmed that the solutions were the best. In fact, an expert and member of EAB has also offered technical guidance in respect of some lakes in Hyderabad, like the Hussainsagar lake also. It is a matter of great pride that this expert and member of EAB is associated with Amaravathi, the new Capital of Andhra Pradesh.
