Web Based Decision Support System is put into operation for Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) in association with TN State Disaster Management Unit by integrating Topography (DEM)/Bathymetry, population/infrastructure and administrative information. Similar System is being developed by MoES for Mumbai with network of observatories. It will be extended to other cities in the country.

Although three rivers flow through the city, Chennai relies on North East Monson to replenish its water reservoirs since the rivers are polluted with sewage. With the increase in population and depleting ground water the city often grapples with acute water supply shortages. On 18 June 2019, the city's reservoirs ran dry, leaving the city in severe crisis Demand and Supply of Water in chennai Chennai is entirely dependent on ground water resources to meet its water needs. Ground water resources in Chennai are replenished by rain water and the city's average rainfall is 1,276 mm. Chennai receives about 985 million liters per day (mld) from various sources against the required amount of 1,200 mld. This demand is expected to rise to 2,100 mld by 2031. Water to the city's residents is being supplied from desalination plants at Nemelli and Minjur; aquifers in Neyveli, Minjur and Panchetty; There is a canal to tap into excess water from the Krishna basin (as part of the Telugu Ganga project) and Cauvery (Veeranam project). There are four reservoirs in the city, namely, Red Hills, Cholavaram, Poondi and Chembarambakkam, with a combined capacity of 11,057 mcft. Present Scenario : As on June 2019 The failure of northeast monsoon in 2018 and pre-monsoon showers in 2019 have caused depletion of the already over-exploited lakes. 2018 2019 The Poondi reservoir has a capacity of 3,231 mcft 2018 2019 The Chembarambakkam reservoir has a capacity of 3,645 mcft. Cause I : Disappearing water bodies The Chennai city has network of about 650 water bodies including major lakes, ponds and storage tanks has been destroyed. The current number stands at around 27, according to the NIDM study. Total area of 19 major lakes in the CMA has nearly halved from 1, 130 hectares to about 645 hectares. This is the overall capacity of water bodies in the city to contain excess rain water has reduced. Cause I : Disappearing water bodies Extent of Water bodies as mapped from Toposheet and Pre and Post flood satellite data SOI Toposheet(1975) : 105.5 sq.km Pre-flood Sat data (6.10.2015) : 35.4 sq.km Post-flood Sat data (10.2.2016) : 105.7 sq.km Cause II : Tampering of recharge structures % Topo Change sheet 6-Oct- 10-Jan- Water bodies [1976] 15 16 Ambattur 22.62% Lake 1.68 1.41 1.3 Chembaramba 4.04% kkam Lake 20.54 8.52 19.71 Cholavaram 5.19% Lake 6.54 1 6.2 Korattur Lake 1.96 1.57 1.68 14.28% Porur Lake 1.17 0.09 0.75 35.89% Puzhal Lake 19.54 3.94 19.06 2.45% Retteri Lake 1.47 0.82 1.07 27.21% Velachery 83.15% Lake 0.95 0.08 0.16 Tampering of recharge structures like lakes, tanks , ponds and wetlands is one reason attributed to the water crisis in Chennai. Cause III : Fractured flood sink Pallikaranai is a freshwater marsh in the city of Chennai and is home to several rare/ endangered and threatened species. Pallikaranai used to cover an area of 50 sq km but it has now been reduced to a tenth of its size. 90% of the marshland has been lost to construction of IT corridors, gated communities, garbage dumps and sewage treatment plants. A survey conducted by Care Earth Trust in the early 2000s revealed that the marsh had shrunk by almost 90 percent--from close to 6000 hectares to barely 600 hectares--over a 50-year period. Fractured flood sink - Temporal changes in Pallikaranai marsh (1990-2016) Dump yard Chennai’s Water Crisis: Five-point solution Improving storage of surface water Efficient implementation of rainwater harvesting Recharging groundwater Protection of flood plains, lakes and wetlands Desalination plants Solution I :Improving storage of surface water According to the records of the Water Resources Department, only 19 of the 29 major waterbodies in the city's periphery can be restored. Nine lakes cannot be rejuvenated owing to encroachments, including those in Valasaravakkam, Virugambakkam, Maduravoyal etc. Once rejuvenated completely, the remaining lakes will have a combined storage capacity of 1,000 million cubic feet (mcft). In addition, if the four primary reservoirs are desilted by a metre, an additional water volume of about 500 mcft can be stored. It is estimated that as many as 3,600 tanks in and around the Chennai metro area (covering the whole of Kancheepuram and Tiruvallur districts), if properly preserved and networked, can provide five times the quantum of water that the city needs in normal times. Water harnessed through these tanks is estimated to be about 80,000 million cubic feet (TMC). DESALINATION TECHNOLOGIES Thermal Desalination 1. Multi effect distillation / Multi stage flashing 2.

The applicability of the technique is site specific. Other techniques for desalination are Reverse Osmosis, Multi Stage Flashing and Multi Effect Distillation Islands with availability of 400m depth for cold water within 1 km distance and Coastal Thermal Power Plants discharging huge amounts of hot water into nearby sea are suitable for LTTD.

Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu is located in the South East of India and lies at a mere 6.7m above mean sea level. Chennai is in a vulnerable location due to storm surges as well as tropical cyclones that bring about heavy rains and yearly floods. The 2004 Tsunami greatly affected the coast, and rapid urbanization, accompanied by the reduction in the natural drain capacity of the ground caused by encroachments on marshes, wetlands and other ecologically sensitive and permeable areas has contributed to repeat flood events in the city. Channelized rivers and canals contaminated through the presence of informal settlements and garbage has exasperated the situation. Natural and man-made water infrastructures that include, monsoon water harvesting and storage systems such as the Temple tanks and reservoirs have been polluted, and have fallen into disuse.

    Aarhat Multidisciplinary International Education Research Journal (AMIERJ) ( UGC Approved Journal No 48178, 48818 ) ISSN 2278-5655 WETLANDS & ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY: A CASE STUDY Mr. Sunil Kumar Singh A, Assistant Professor, Department of Geography, School of Earth Sciences, Central University of Karnataka. Abstract Wetlands are ecosystems or habitats for specific plants and animals that are saturated with water. The presence or absence of water determines their formation, processes and characteristics. Wetlands are of great importance to man and nature as it purifies water, reduces flood, stores water, prevents soil erosion, supports varied biodiversities etc. Starting about thousands of years in urban areas of the world and typically a few hundred years ago in most other coastal areas, humanity has profoundly impacted, degraded or destroyed many coastal wetlands worldwide by direct physical degradation and pollution. Ironically, reduced coastal wetland increases threat to human safety at the same time, shoreline development exposes populations to coastal hazards such as tsunamis, erosion, flooding, storm waves and surges. This paper tries to evaluate the importance of Wetlands and the present scenario of wetlands and the steps taken by the world community to protect and preserve it. This paper illustrates the present scenario of wetlands by The Case study of Pallikaranai Wetlands of Chennai which presents the best example of the dismal state of wetlands in-spite of numerous efforts taken by academicians, environmentalists and the local community to protect it. Aim 1. To bring out the importance of Wetlands and the need to preserve and protect it. 2. Illustrate the present scenario of Wetlands based on a case study of “Pallikaranai Wetlands Ecosystems in Chennai” and the present scenario of Wetlands around the world.
