K Tekton Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2018 pp. 22 - 45 ABSTRACT The United Nations projected by 2030, at least 60% of the world’s population will live in cities, with nearly 2 billion new city residents, many migrating from rural areas. The urban population in India is growing at around 2.3% per annum with the global proportion of urban population increasing from 13% (220 million in 1900) to 49% (3.2 billion, in 2005). Chandrakanth.

Most of the growth is occurring in developing countries like China, India, and Impact of Urban Development on Africa, ecologically rich areas such as coasts and Ecological Resources islands are at risk. The city’s long-term development is beyond spatial and infrastructure planning and is Urbanization is taking place at a faster rate in associated with sustainable development. India. Population residing in urban areas of As the MoHUPA (2009) suggesting that India was 11.4 % as per 1901 Census.

Study Area • Allalasandra Lake is located in Bangalore North at Lal Bahadur Shastri Nagar, Yelahanka. In 2009, the Allalasandra lake bed was dryland. • Restored by the BBMP in 2010-11 fencing the lake area, desilting the lake bed, building a pathway, and installation of benches and lights. • But still untreated sewage inflows can be seen. • Yelahanka Lake is located on northern side of Bangalore (about 200 Acres). • Restoration measures started during 2008 - 2009 included: Construction of bridge, desilting, diversion drain, embankment and pitching.

BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Master of Arts thesis abstract Abstract This master’s thesis investigates how design interventions can enable public participation in the functioning of a sustainable urban water management system, specifically by increasing awareness of the system by involving members of the communities that are linked to it. A unique closed-loop urban water management system — the Jakkur Lake in Bangalore (India) — is utilised as a case study to do so. The Jakkur Lake is one of the largest and cleanest water bodies in Bangalore and is particularly special because it is a potential model for Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM). This complex socio-ecological ecosystem highlights the symbiotic relationship between nature and hu- mankind. By serendipity, a sewage treatment plant (STP) with a capacity to treat 10 million litres a day was set up north of the lake by the government bodies. The plant currently releases 8 million litres of treated water into the man-made wetland which further purifies the water by a natural process before letting it enter the lake. Therefore the lake is fed with this treated water everyday, which in turn recharges the ground, increases the water table and fills up the bore-wells and the beautiful old open wells — heritage structures that adorn this area and are in need of preserva- tion.

Evaluation of availability of water is most essential by understanding the rainfall and runoff pattern. The surface water resources are available in the watershed from national highways and state highways. The present study is done form an area about 160km 2 in national highway is the main catchment area of the basin and same considered for runoff model. Runoff keeps rivers and lakes full with water but also changes the landscape by the action of erosion. Only about 35% of the precipitation ends up in oceans and seas, other 65% is absorbed into soil and remaining is evaporate. Lake Sediment removal is usually undertaken to deepen a lake and increase its value to enhance irrigation practices and fishery etc Keywords — Rainfall, Runoff model , Ground water, Lakes I.INTRODUCTION Lakes are an inherent part of the ecosystem. Lakes heat islands in the cities and affect biodiversity in have traditionally served the function of meeting cities as well as villages. water requirements of the populace for drinking, household uses like washing, agriculture, fishing Study Region-NH44 from Hebbal in Bangalore and also for religious and cultural purposes.
