  • Disastrous Condition of the Sabarmati River
    PRESS RELEASE 27 March 2019 Disastrous Condition of the Sabarmati River - Release of report on joint investigations by Paryavaran Suraksha Samiti and Gujarat Pollution Control Board, of the pollution levels in the prime water source of Ahmedabad District. The Sabarmati River in the Ahmedabad City stretch, before the Riverfront, is dry and within the Riverfront Project stretch, is Brimming with Stagnant Water. In the last 120 kilometres, before meeting the Arabian Sea, it dead comprises of just industrial effluent and sewage. On 12 March 2019, the Regional Officers Mr Tushar Shah and Ms Nehalben Ajmera of Gujarat Pollution Control Board, Rohit Prajapati and Krishnakant of Paryavaran Suraksha Samiti, Social Activist Mudita Vidrohi of Ahmedabad, Subodh Parmar, Lawyer of Gujarat High Court, conducted a joint investigation. This was conducted in the context of implementation of the Order, dated 22.02.2017, of the Supreme Court in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 375 of 2012 (Paryavaran Suraksha Samiti & Anr V/s Union of India & Ors) about the status of industrial effluent and sewerage discharge into the Sabarmati River stretch of Ahmedabad District. The investigation reports are shocking and reveal the disastrous condition of Sabarmati River in and around Ahmedabad District and about 120 kilometres downstream. Sabarmati River no longer has any fresh water when it enters the city of Ahmedabad. The Sabarmati Riverfront has merely become a pool of polluted stagnant water while the river, downstream of the riverfront, has been reduced to a channel carrying effluents from industries from Naroda, Odhav Vatva, Narol and sewerage from Ahmedabad city. The drought like condition of the Sabarmati River intensified by the Riverfront Development has resulted in poor groundwater recharge and increased dependency on the already ailing Narmada River.

  • Sabarmati Riverfront Development: an Exercise in 'High-Modernism'?
    I.S.RIVERS 2018 Sabarmati Riverfront Development: An Exercise in ‘High-Modernism’? A la reconquête des berges du fleuve Sabarmati : un exercice de "haut-modernisme" ? Krishnachandran Balakrishnan Indian Institute for Human Settlements, Bangalore, India ([email protected]) RÉSUMÉ En utilisant l’exemple de l’aménagement des berges du fleuve Sabarmati (Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project - SRDP) à Ahmedabad, cet article illustre comment la catégorie conceptuelle de berge, déjà présente plus particulièrement à Londres et Paris, a inspiré l’imagination de ce que devrait être une rivière urbaine en Inde. Cet article s’attache à revoir l’étendue du projet pour conformer une rivière alimentée par la mousson à la catégorie conceptuelle prédéfinie de berge. L'argumentaire développé dans l’article est que le SRDP peut être vu comme une illustration de haut-modernisme comme l’indique James Scott – à la fois en termes d’ordre visuel qu’il s’efforce de créer et en termes de recours au concept simpliste d’écologie et d’hydrologie des rivières. Cet article conclut avec une discussion sur l’utilité des professionnels de la conception architecturale, urbaine et paysagère de comprendre les spécificités locales des écosystèmes et sociétés et d’utiliser le design comme un processus capable d’aller au-delà des catégories spatiales et conceptuelles simplistes. ABSTRACT Using the case of the Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project (SRDP) in Ahmedabad, this paper illustrates how the conceptual category of the ‘riverfront’, as seen in London and Paris in particular, has shaped the imagination of what an urban river ‘should’ be in India. The paper examines the lengths to which the project goes to fit a monsoon fed river-scape into this predefined conceptual category of a ‘riverfront’.

  • Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project
    SABARMATI RIVERFRONT DEVELOPMENT PROJECT A Multidimensional Environmental Improvement and Urban Rejuvenation Project … one of the most innovative projects towards urban regeneration in the world to make the city livable & sustainable (KPMG ) SABARMATI RIVER and AHMEDABAD The River Sabarmati flows from north to south splitting Ahmedabad into almost two equal parts. For many years, it has served as a water source and provided almost no formal recreational space for the city. As the city has grown, the Sabarmati river had been abused and neglected and with the increased pollution was posing a major health and environmental hazard to the city. The slums on the riverbank were disastrously flood prone and lack basic infrastructure services. The River became back of the City and inaccessible to the public Ahmedabad and the Sabarmati :1672 Sabarmati and the Growth of Ahmedabad Sabarmati has always been important to Ahmedabad As a source for drinking water As a place for recreation As a place to gather Place for the poor to build their hutments Place for washing and drying clothes Place for holding the traditional Market And yet, Sabarmati was abused and neglected Sabarmati became a place Abuse of the River to dump garbage • Due to increase in urban pressures, carrying capacity of existing sewage system falling short and its diversion into storm water system releasing sewage into the River. Storm water drains spewed untreated sewage into the river • Illegal sewage connections in the storm water drains • Open defecation from the near by human settlements spread over the entire length. • Discharge of industrial effluent through Nallas brought sewage into some SWDs.

Specialization: Urban Planning and Management SUPERVISORS: Ir. M.J.G. Mark Brussel Ms. M. Kuffer THESIS ASSESSMENT BOARD: Ms. Prof. dr. ing. P.Y. Georgiadou Dr. ir. C.M.M. Mannaerts [ University of Twente ] DISCLAIMER This document describes work undertaken as part of a programme of study at the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation of the University of Twente. All views and opinions expressed therein remain the sole responsibility of the author, and do not necessarily represent those of the Faculty. ABSTRACT Lakes in urban and peri-urban areas are an important interface between planning and ecology, which demands environmentally responsive strategies, acknowledging problems like flooding, water pollution, and water quality with their complexities in design and engineering. The present study attempts to investigate the impacts of hydrological planning interventions on lake ecosystems. The research highlights the issues in experimental projects like ‘lake linking project’ carried out by Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA). The integration of storm water infrastructure and lake ecosystem creates adverse pressure on lake water quality which is subsequently also transferred to other connected lakes.
