The city is fast transforming into a concrete jungle and while some call it development others are worried for the future of the Sangam city in terms of availability of underground water. The depleting green cover of the city has affected adversely the underground water level of localities in the past 25 years.

TOI spoke to associated professor at the department of Geography, of Allahabad University, A R Siddiqui who has undertaken an extensive survey of the declining vegetative cover of the city, the decrease in level of underground water on the basis of which he has identified vulnerable areas too along with the danger looming on these areas.
