    URBAN RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN URBAN RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN (URMP)(URMP) 1. URBAN RIVER MANAGEMENTELEMENTS AND PLAN GUIDANCE (URMP) NOTE 2. DANCE NOTE ELEMENTS AND GUIDANCE NOTE OCTOBER 2019 FOR REVIEW ONLY OBJECTIVE OF THIS GUIDANCE DOCUMENT The overall objective of this document is to assist cities along the Ganga River (referred to as Ganga towns hereafter in the document) improve the state of the river in their stretch. While the central focus is on the Ganga, the document also applies to other rivers flowing through these towns. The document proposes a planning framework called “Urban River Management Plan (URMP)” to achieve the objective. The URMP will help the Ganga towns systematically and holistically plan for interventions to revive and maintain the rivers in their areas in a sustainable manner. The URMP is embedded in the central idea that maintaining healthy rivers in the Ganga towns is crucial to enhance liveability in the towns. The National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) and the National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA) have developed a common URMP framework for all Ganga towns. This guidance document explains the various elements of the URMP framework. It also provides detailed directions on how the Ganga towns can prepare their own URMPs. It is expected that all Ganga towns will develop their URMPs in tHe next two years. 1 | 53 FOR REVIEW ONLY Table of Contents Acronyms ................................................................................................................................................ 4 List of
