Innovation Centre Denmark, Royal Danish Embassy New Delhi 4 Executive Summary Nagpur, often called the heart of India, is at the geographical centre of the country enabling it to be the logistical hub of India. With over 2.5 million residents and 52% of the district population residing in Nagpur, it is the 3rd largest urban area in the State of Maharashtra1. Nagpur was known for its orange production market (Orange City), but has over the years transformed itself to become a sought after investment destination due to its central connectivity stronghold. Companies like CISCO3 and Reliance4 along with countries like France4 have expressed interest and in some cases even laid foundation to projects like building an Aerospace Park and manufacturing plants in Nagpur. Nagpur aims to transform itself into a well-planned, Eco-friendly, Edu-city that Electronically connects governments, businesses, people and spaces seamlessly to co-create a clean, green, safe, prosperous, healthy and Inclusive ecosystem and hence their Smart City vision is apt named ‘e3i’. This vision has been formulated based on an extensive citizen engagement process and discussions with urban planners and sector experts, with the results reflecting strong desires to have a clean, green and safe Nagpur. Innovation Centre Denmark at Royal Danish Embassy undertook a fact finding mission to Nagpur on 3rd and 4th of October 2016. This report is the result of comprehensive interviews with city officials and site visits within the city. During the fact finding mission on the 3rd and 4th of October 2016, the following observations were made: A strong municipality team that has engaged the services of several planning companies to evaluate global cities to be the foundation for their work on Smart City Nagpur. Additionally, the officials share a strong recognition of Denmark’s capabilities in liveability, sustainability and cycling which is an aspirational goal for Nagpur. Development of Nag riverfront, estimated at DKK 150 million. Pan-city solutions on waste management, city surveillance & monitoring, IT control & command centre and intelligent transportation solutions, estimated at DKK 223.39 million. Area based smart parking and non-modal transportation (cycling) solutions, estimated at DKK 73.52 million. From the fact finding mission, one aspect that stands out strongly is the willingness of the city officials (backed by a strong support from the State government of Maharashtra) to implement solutions within their city without any delays. This is leading the city to proactively scout for partners and potentially also issue public tenders at a pace uncommon amongst Indian cities. Danish companies need to take a note of this working culture and engage accordingly with Nagpur. Nagpur has also evaluated cities globally (including Copenhagen) to arrive at project scope for city level waste management. The results of this evaluation is being factored in the Request for Proposal (RFPs) to be released in early 2017.

    Available online a t www.pelagiaresearchlibrary.com Pelagia Research Library European Journal of Experimental Biology, 2015, 5(2):37-52 ISSN: 2248 –9215 CODEN (USA): EJEBAU Application of water quality index (WQI) for the assessment of surface water quality (Ambazari Lake) P. J. Puri *, M.K.N. Yenkie, D.B. Rana and S.U. Meshram Department of Applied Chemistry, L.I.T., RTM Nagpur University, Nagpur-440033 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The present work aims at assessing the water quality index (WQI) in the surface water (Ambazari lake) situated in Nagpur city, Maharashtra India, by monitoring five sampling locations within Ambazari lake (viz., inlet1, inlet2, centre, corner and outlet) for a period of 3 months from August to October-2013. For calculating the WQI, 14 parameters, namely, pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, sulphate, nitrate, fluorides and iron were considered. It is apparent from WQI values that Ambazari Lake water with WQI values ranging from 42.28 to 49.84(pre-immersion period), 58.57 to 109.66(immersion period) and 55.19 to 62.74 (post-immersion period falls under simply good to poor water category. It was observed that the values of physicochemical parameters significantly increased during the immersion period and then declined in the post-immersion period, however the general trend observed was: immersion > post-immersion > pre-immersion values. The present study revealed that Ambazari lake water is polluted (due to surface run-off, bathing activities, agriculture run-off, effluents from upstream from surrounding industrial and garden area, immersion of idols of God and Goddess during festival season), and is unsuitable for human consumption, industrial purpose also for the survival of life forms unless treated properly.

  • Journal of Integrated Disaster Risk Manangement
    IDRiM (2020) 10 (1) ISSN: 2185-8322 DOI10.5595/001c.16635 Journal of Integrated Disaster Risk Management Original paper A Water-Energy-Food Nexus-Based Conceptual Approach for Developing Smart Urban-Rural Linkages in Nagpur Metropolitan Area, India Vibhas Sukhwani 1* and Rajib Shaw 1 Received: 25/02/2020 / Accepted: 10/07/2020 / Published online: 20/08/2020 Abstract Urban and rural areas are dynamic systems, functionally interlinked through their social, economic, and environmental settings. While urban population heavily depends on the natural resources sourced from surrounding rural areas, the rural population is increasingly reliant on urban areas for employment, healthcare etc. In the recent years, the notion of urban- rural linkage has gained high prominence in the global policy outcomes, including the Sustainable Development Goals and The New Urban Agenda, particularly in response to the rapid urbanization trends and climate change. However, it’s application at local level development planning is still not apparent. In case of the Nagpur Metropolitan Area ‘NMA’ in India, a Smart City and Smart Rural ‘Rurban’ Cluster are being developed adjacently under two different missions of Government of India which are totally disconnected. While urban- rural systems in NMA are already stressed with the situations of resource conflict (like water supply), their relationships are expected to get further constrained under changing climate scenarios. Addressing this need, we present a knowledge-based conceptual framework that presents an overall picture of the water resource flow (specifically from a Water-Energy-Food nexus perspective) between urban and rural areas within NMA. Based on the developed framework, the study suggests feasible directions for smartly linking the upcoming developments in Nagpur Smart city and adjacent Rurban cluster.

  • Studies on the Physico-Chemical Status of Two Water Bodies at Nagpur City Under Anthropogenic Influences
    Studies on the Physico-chemical Status of Two Water Bodies at Nagpur City Under Anthropogenic Influences M. P. Meshram 1, K. J.Cherian 2, S. S.Bodkhe 3 1. Department of Botany, Hislop College, Nagpur. 2. Sindhu Mahavidyalaya, Nagpur. 3. Department of Botany, Institute of Science, Nagpur. Abstract: This study was aimed to analyse physico-chemical characteristic of two water bodies of Ambazari lake and Futala lake at Nagpur District, Maharashtra. Monthly changes in various physico-chemical parameters of water such as temperature, colour, odour, taste, turbidity, transparency, total dissolved solids, pH, total hardness, dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD) were analyzed for a period of one year in three different seasons as summer, monsoon and winter from March 2010 to February 2011. The experimental values of water samples were compared with standard values given by world health organization (WHO). Water quality is crucial factor which in turn regulates biotic diversity, energy and mineral cycles & succession. The results revealed that there was significant seasonal variation in physico- chemical parameters of both lakes and therefore the lake must be monitored regularly to prevent the changes that are occurred day by day. Keywords: Lakes, Physico-chemical parameters, Water quality. DO, BOD. Introduction: Water is extremely essential for survival of all living beings however good water quality is essential for the well-being of all people. It is the most indispensable resources and known for the elixir of life. The quality of water usually described according to its physical, chemical and biological characteristics. Water sources available for drinking and domestic purposes must possess high degree of purity and free from chemical contamination and unwanted microorganisms.

    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2016): 79.57 | Impact Factor (2017): 7.296 Impact of Urbanization on River and Its Surrounding Structures: Case of Nag River Nagpur Parikshit P. Mudholkar Assistant Professor, Shri Datta Meghe College of Architecture, Nagpur, R. T. M Nagpur University, India Abstract: With quick urban sprawl, a lot of developed grounds have been replaced with building lands around the stream. Urbanization is influencing the physical process of river growth thus change stream structure and further influence the elements of stream framework. As a result the quality of water and soil is continuously deteriorating. This paper investigates the procedures and qualities of urbanization in Nagpur, concentrating on to the harm to river ecosystem and its reverse impact on surrounding structures. The paper looks at the ebb and flow situation of Nag stream, essentially moving through an urban setting of Nagpur city. Population variety demonstrates a continuous increment of enlisted population and a fast increment of skimming population that for the most part originates from neighboring regions in recent years. The quality of soil and extent of soil pollution and soil degradation and its effect can be seen on surrounding structures of the stream. The examination of pointers has been done and report was shaped in like manner. It was found that the effect of urbanization on the waterway framework was significant. Urbanization impacts on river system such as direct mixture of industrial waste water, human waste, garbage, riverbank concreting and low diversity of river style were widely observed.
