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. -
Landscapes of Disaster: Water, Modernity, and Urban Fragmentation in Mumbai
Environment and Planning A 2008, volume 40, pages 108 ^ 130 DOI:10.1068/a3994 Landscapes of disaster: water, modernity, and urban fragmentation in Mumbai Matthew Gandy Department of Geography, University College London, 26 Bedford Way, London WC1H 0AP, England; e-mail: [email protected] Received 16 March 2006; in revised form 14 July 2006 Abstract. The city of Mumbai is undergoing a complex social, economic, and political transition into an increasingly fragmentary and polarized metropolitan space. The tortuous flow of water through contemporary Mumbai presents one of the most striking indicators of persistent social inequalities within the postcolonial metropolis. We find that the city's dysfunctional water infrastructure has its roots within the colonial era but these incipient weaknesses have been exacerbated in recent years by rapid urban growth, authoritarian forms of political mobilization, and the dominance of middle-class interests within a denuded public realm. It is argued that the water and sanitation crisis facing Mumbai needs to be understood in relation to the particularities of capitalist urbanization and state formation in an Indian context.

Kiran Nagarkar2 In a dusty office of the municipal buildings in B ward in downtown Mumbai is a detailed map of the Paris water supply system, placed under a sheet of thick glass on the desk of the chief engineer. This “hydraulic dec- oration” acknowledges an attachment to a utopian vision of the perfect city: a striving toward a perfect synthesis of engineering science and urban modernity. The intricate arrangement of blue lines—varying in thickness Chapter 4 and shading to depict the hierarchical structure of the city’s water mains— is counterposed with the familiar bridges, boulevards, and radial subdivi- sions of the Parisian arrondissements. This striking cartographic representation of Paris is suggestive of a tension between the idea of the modern city as a visible manifestation of conscious design and the complex array of unseen networks extending beneath the city streets. -
Water Scenario 2025
National Level Conference on Water Management Scenario 2025 Problems, Issues and Challenges. WATER SCENARIO 2025 Prof. P.G. Shinde Head, Department of Geography Ex-Vice Principal, V.P.M.’s Joshi-Bedekar College, Thane. Chairman, Board of Studies of Geography, University of Mumbai. Water is needed in all aspects of life. Difficult to purify, expensive to transport and impossible to substitute, water is an indispensable element of life. Renewable fresh water is an increasingly scarce commodity and the amount of fresh water actually available to people is finite. The general objective is to make certain, that adequate supplies of water of good quality are maintained, for the entire population of this planet, while preserving the hydrologic, biological, and chemical functions of the ecosystems, adapting human activities within the capacity limits of nature and combating vectors of water related diseases. Without sufficient water, economic development becomes virtually impossible and conflict over scarce resources virtually inevitable. Regional and local water shortages have always existed because of the inequalities of the hydrological cycle, but a global view also indicates that the entire hydrologic cycle is nearing the limits of use and therefore, even the water surplus countries will very soon start experiencing water shortages. United Nation Organization has given top priority to the problem of water scarcity and sanitation. This is because: · The subsurface water table level is shrinking in all the continents of the world. · Agricultural lands are becoming saline. · Increasing pollution of surface and sub-surface waters. · Nearly 45 crores of people in 29 countries are staying in water-deficit regions. -

Urban Water Conflict in Mumbai
Institutional Design and the Geography of Rural- Urban Water Conflict in Mumbai Punjabi, Bharat Post-Doctoral Fellow Institute of Municipal Finance and Governance (IMFG) Munk School of Global Affairs University of Toronto (Not to be cited without permission of the author) 1 Abstract: Water security in metropolitan cities is increasingly important in the developing world. In Mumbai, for example, rapid urban growth has dramatically increased the demand for water, which has resulted in serious consequences for the water entitlements of rural communities located near the sources of water. This presentation focuses on the regional dimensions of water delivery and looks at the role of institutions and the impact of local laws, agencies, and governance on how water is shared between rural and urban areas. Key words: Urban; rural water access; metropolitan urban governance; commons; Mumbai; India 2 Introduction In the case study literature on the commons, there are few studies that examine the institutional implications of water demand for a growing metropolitan region on its rural hinterland.1 Urban expansion and growth often leads cities to take water from distant rural watersheds that irrigate agriculture for urban use. Urban water appropriation is rapidly becoming an important policy question in developing countries. At the same time, the institutional mechanisms and regulatory frameworks that underlie access to water from rural areas are poorly understood. Through a case study on the city-region of Mumbai, India, this paper tries to develop a new understanding of an unexplored institutional dimension of inter-sectoral water politics. This paper hopes to make a contribution to the institutional and metropolitan governance literature on water in large city-regions. -

Water Supply Problem Water Is the Lifeline of All Living Beings, but Its Availability Is Totally Dependent on the Quantum of Seasonal Rains
B U D G E T E S T I M A T E S A , B & G 2010-11 Mr. Chairman, I am presenting to the Standing Committee, the estimates of receipt and income and expenditure pertaining to the Budgets ‘A’, (Fund code 11, 12, 60, 70), ‘B’ (Fund code 21, 22, 23) and ‘G’ (Fund code 40) for the financial year 2010-11 in pursuance of the provisions of Sections 125 and 126 E of M.M.C. Act 1888. I am profoundly delighted to present Budget Estimates of Brihanmumbai Mahanagarpalika as the Municipal Commissioner for the first time. When I took over as chief of the Municipal administration of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, which is one of the foremost in not only the Nation, but across the globe, I had to face two very stiff challenges. One, the drinking water crisis faced by Mumbaikars due to scant rainfall and second the critical financial position of the M.C.G.M. Water Supply Problem Water is the lifeline of all living beings, but its availability is totally dependent on the quantum of seasonal rains. The daily average requirement of water of the city of Mumbai is 3400 million litres. However, barring 4 days in August 2009, the rains had turned their back on the entire Maharashtra. As a result, this year, the reservoirs like Tansa, Vaitarna, Bhatsa, Upper Vaitarna, Vihar etc. did not reach the desired levels which normally overflow in the mid of August every year. An attempt was made to induce artificial rain in the catchment area from August 23 to October 22, 2009. -
