The Erstwhile Buckingham Canal, a Must for Revival As South-East Coast Inland Water Way
THE ERSTWHILE BUCKINGHAM CANAL, A MUST FOR REVIVAL AS SOUTH-EAST COAST INLAND WATER WAY,. The Central government through parliament act has declared the 1079 km length Canal a national inland waterway-4 and to invest around Rs 2000 crore to revive and make it navigable. V.Dhivakar “India has rich natural and water wealth, especially in eastern half of the land but vastly un-organised. Proper utility of waterway is the need of hour to develop this region and running cargo boats through the developed navigation waterways would benefit thousands of people here as well as in England. Kindly consider my proposal of linking the rivers Mahanadhi in Central province and River Cauvery  in Southern part by constructing a canal minimum with a draft of 3 metres. Initially the Government should construct a canal diverting excess water flowing from river Krishna and Godavari and utilize the same as water route to Madras along the coast line”. This was the ‘note’ written by none other than the ‘Delta-King’, Sir Arthur Thomas Cotton in the year 1859 sent to the then British Government at London. Sir Cotton, the man who came to India as an evangelist but he as a civil Engineer was appointed by the then East India Company bosses. Sir Cotton had conceived and developed during his glorious time three important Delta Check Dams in South India, on rivers Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery. When his ‘note’ went in to the hands of British Government, keeping in mind the turmoil it faced that time in Indian soil (East India Company’s administration over Indian states was taken over by British Queen due to the Indian Independence war which erupted in 1857), not interested in investing money in India for its development and unceremoniously rejected Sir Cotton’s advice. -
PAKISTAN: LAI NULLAH BASIN FLOOD PROBLEM ISLAMABAD – RAWALPINDI CITIES1 Ahmed Kamal 2
WMO/GWP Associated Programme on Flood Management PAKISTAN: LAI NULLAH BASIN FLOOD PROBLEM ISLAMABAD – RAWALPINDI CITIES1 Ahmed Kamal 2 Abstract. Information is provided about the general approach and experience regarding flood management and mitigation in Pakistan, and in the Lai Nullah Basin in particular. An extraordinary flood event in the year 2001 marked the start of a shift towards the concept of integrated flood management with a view to effectively manage and mitigate flood and related problems, both on a national basis and on a river basin level. The paper discusses the countrywide approach, the various structural and non-structural measures in place and also those in the case study area. The relative importance and applicability of these measures are outlined and, for the case study area, an analysis of those being adopted or proposed for the future is made. Legal aspects of flood management regarding land use, flood warning, preparedness and response are briefly described. Mention is also made of emerging concepts of stakeholder participation. The study concludes with a detailed listing of “lessons learnt”, which could be used for possible application in countries that intend to adopt an IFM approach 1. Location The Lai Nullah Basin is located in the northern part of Pakistan, with a catchment area of 239.8 Km². It has a length of about 30 Km, stretching from the upper reaches which comprise the Federal Capital City Islamabad, at its north-western edge, to the lower reaches which hold the Rawalpindi District, Punjab Province, in its south-eastern edge. The Nai Nullah river has six mayor tributaries, three originating in the foothills of Islamabad in the higher plain area; it then flows down through the lower lying city of Rawalpindi, where another three tributaries join the river. -

Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu is located in the South East of India and lies at a mere 6.7m above mean sea level. Chennai is in a vulnerable location due to storm surges as well as tropical cyclones that bring about heavy rains and yearly floods. The 2004 Tsunami greatly affected the coast, and rapid urbanization, accompanied by the reduction in the natural drain capacity of the ground caused by encroachments on marshes, wetlands and other ecologically sensitive and permeable areas has contributed to repeat flood events in the city. Channelized rivers and canals contaminated through the presence of informal settlements and garbage has exasperated the situation. Natural and man-made water infrastructures that include, monsoon water harvesting and storage systems such as the Temple tanks and reservoirs have been polluted, and have fallen into disuse.
