May 29 – June 3, 2005 2 (12) A DESIGN FOR ECO-SUSTAINABILITY: LESSONS FROM A STRESSED ENVIRONMENT IN MUMBAI Introduction: The importance of environmental sustainability is now well recognized even by the developing countries. However, the economic compulsions that have become even stronger in the face of the globalization, the cities are facing intense competitions to attract international capital and corporate offices leading to policies where environmental well being gets a lower priority. The current focus of planning in the city of Mumbai on the proposals like creation of new Central Business Districts, Information Technology parks, luxury housing townships, flyovers and freeways, shopping malls, golf clubs, multiplexes and other high-end entertainment centers, all designed to project an up market and global image illustrates the point. In the process, the city environment is under strain as never before, but unfortunately that does not figure in any calculation. Assessment of the impact of development projects on the ecosystems is now absolutely critical besides the technical, economic and political factors.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Mumbai, is one of its 10 mega cities of the world and business capital of India. Mumbai proper occupies a low-lying area that once consisted of seven islands called Colaba, Mazagaon, Old Woman's Island, Wadala, Mahim, Parel, and Matunga-Sion separated from each other only during high tide. The population has risen from merely 3 millions in 1951 to 12 millions as on 2002 out of which 50 % live in slums It also supports “daily commuting” population of 20 lakhs It covers an area of 437 sq.km. With average density of 36600 soul/ sq.km. Water Supply-From Past To Present Prior to 1870, the Mumbaikar used to drink water from the existing well, lakes and tanks. But during middle of nineteenth century, because of the epidemic, decision was taken to build a dam to supply good quality of potable water, and then onwards Bombay water works started functioning The history of Mumbai’s water supply dates back to the 22nd June 1845. On this day, the then Government in response to the agitation of the native appointed 2 men Commission to report about the quality and quantity of water available in Mumbai. The Commission reported back within 24 hours that the water supply of Mumbai needed immediate attention. This was the beginning of efforts to search sources of water to satisfy the City’s demand. It is the first city in India to receive piped water supply in the year 1860. Today it supplies 2950 MLD every day, is one of the largest water supply in Asia.

  • Fauna of Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Bombay (Vertebrates)
    B'D_ 1001. Surv. India, 92 (1-4) : 225~251, 1992 FAUNA OF CONSERVATION AREAS: FAUNA OF SANJAY GANDHI NATIONAL PARK, BOMBAY (VERTEBRATES) G. M. YAZDANI, M. S. PRADHAN & D. F. SINGH Zoological Survey of India, Western Regional Station, Pune. INTRODUCTION Among the four National Parks in the State of Maharashtra, Sanjay Gandhi National Park is a beautifully preserved green oasis within the confines of Bombay metropolis. The park exhibits an amazing diversity of terrain-beginning at just 30 meters above sea level, to almost SOO m and displays coastal, dry and mixed deciduous, and typical western ghat plateau habitats. It boasts of two big lakes and 2000 years old Kanheri caves. Due to its proximity to Bombay city, a lot of people have visited, studied and written about this Park, but unfortunately this information is all scattered and most of it deals with the bird fauna, as indeed it is a bird watcher's paradise (Abdulali 1981, Naik 1986, Monga 1986, Singh & Yazdani 1988). In this paper we have tried to present as a consolidated work, the vertebrate fauna of this Park. after an intensive survey from 1987 to 1989 under the special conservation area survey programme of the Zoological Survey of India. The groups were worked out as per the following: Pisces (GMY & DFS); Amphibia, Reptilia (DFS & MSP); Aves (DFS) & Mammalia (MSP). Tbe Park (Fig. 1 & lA) Sanjay Gandhi National Park (previously known as Krishnagiri Upawan and l~ter as Borivli National Park) is situated about 25 kms north from the heart of ,Bombay city and is only 8 kms from the shores of the Arabian Sea.

S1. Principal ecosystem types in SGNP Field survey and review of secondary literature undertaken to identify the ecosystems in Sanjay Gandhi National Park has revealed that there are following types of major ecosystems in the Park. 1. 3B/C1 Moist teak-bearing forests 2. 3 B/C2 Southern moist mixed deciduous forest 3. 4B/TS1 Mangrove scrubs (coastal margin) 4. 8 A/C2 Western sub-tropical hill forests 5. Degraded forest 6. Plantations 7. Wetland and marshes (lake catchments) / large water bodies 8. Streams 9. Riparian areas – fringing forest adjacent to streams and rivers 10. Creeks 11. Rocky expanses and outcrops interspersed with grassy patches 12. Grasslands 13. Agriculture 14. Human settlements (encroachments) 15. Human settlements (enclaved in the forests) The listed ecosystems were identified and mapped using Arc GIS software (Figure S1). The map depicts the location of the principal ecosystems in the National Park, though some could not be depicted as the area they covered was too small.
