  • Urban Water Supply: Contestations and Sustainability Issues in Greater Bangalore
    Journal of Politics & Governance, Vol. 3, No. 4, October-December 2014 Urban Water Supply: Contestations and Sustainability Issues in Greater Bangalore Srihari Hulikal Muralidhar Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai Abstract The move towards privatization of public utilities such as water sector in India, particularly in the metropolitan areas, has gone hand in hand with the growing gap between demand and supply of water. With fiscal discipline being the key mantra of successive governments, cost recovery as a policy goal is prioritized over access to water and sanitation. This paper is a critical assessment of Greater Bangalore Water and Sanitation Project (GBWASP), which aims to provide piped water to more than twenty lakh residents in Greater Bangalore. The implementation of the Karnataka Groundwater Act, 2011, and the debates around it are also examined in detail. The four main arguments are: huge gap between rhetoric and ground realities when it comes to the implementation of GBWASP and the Groundwater Act; the contestations between the elected representatives and bureaucrats have implications for urban governance; the axes of dispute between the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board and citizens have changed over time; the politics of negotiating access to water also bring questions of sustainability to the fore. Keywords: Borewell, Privatization, Water [This paper was presented at the 2nd National Conference on Politics & Governance, NCPG 2014 held at India International Centre Annexe, New Delhi on 3 August 2014] Introduction The Greater Bangalore Water and Sanitation Project (GBWASP) was launched in 2003 in Bangalore and is implemented by the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB).

  • Urban Planning in Vernacular Governance
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Urban Planning in Vernacular Governance --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Land use planning and violations in Bangalore Jayaraj Sundaresan A thesis submitted to the Department of Geography and Environment of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, December 2013 1 of 3 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 102,973 words. I can confirm that my thesis was copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Amit Desai and Dieter Kursietis at various stages. 2 of 3 Abstract Using a relational state-society framework, this research examines the relationship between land use violations and the urban planning process. This thesis seeks to answer how and why land use violations in the non-poor neighbourhoods of Bangalore are produced, sustained and contested in spite of the elaborate planning, implementation and enforcement mechanisms present in Bangalore.

With rapid urbanisation, the lakes have been encroached upon and have given way to build struc- tures catering to the citizen’s needs. According to study conducted by the Energy and Wetland Research Group, Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, the 262 wetlands that existed in Bangalore in 1962 has declined by 58% by 2007. Similarly, when the city’s built up area shot up by 466% between 1973 and 2007, the number of lakes came down from 159 to 93. Lakes also sustained over the years due to the active linkages between them, which are now part of the hardscape of the city. With the increase in built environment, the city is losing out on softscapes that help rejuvenate the water table through percolation. The storm water drains established by the erstwhile rulers of Bangalore are turning grey. One of the lakes in Bangalore which is rapidly losing out on its ability to cater to the biodiversity and turning grey is Ulsoor Lake.
