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.

Online Exhibition | Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture | 2020
Online Exhibition | Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture | 2020 Stepwells of Ahmedabad The settlement pattern of north central Gujarat evolved in response to its undulating terrain and was deeply influenced by the collection, preservation, and use of water (see Gallery 1). The travel routes that linked these settlements also followed paths charted by the seasonal movement of water across the region’s wrinkled, semi-arid landscape. The settlements formed a network tying major cities and port towns to small agricultural and artisanal villages that collectively constituted the region’s productive hinterland. The city of Ahmedabad, which emerged on the Sabarmati River, was an historic center of this network. The Sabarmati river originates in the Aravalli hills in the northeast, meanders through the gently undulating alluvial plains of north central Gujarat, and finally merges with the Arabian Sea at the Gulf of Khambhat in the south. About 50 miles north of the port city of Khambhat, Sultan Ahmad Shah, the ruler of the Gujarat Sultanate, built a citadel along the Sabarmati in 1411, formally establishing the city of Ahmedabad. The citadel was strategically situated on the river’s elevated eastern bank, anticipating the settlement’s future eastward expansion.1 Strategic elevations in the undulating terrain were identified as areas for dwelling.2 As a seasonal river, the Sabarmati swells during the monsoon and contracts in the summer, leaving dry large swathes. During its dry period, the riverbed became an expansive public space, bustling with temporary markets, circuses, and seasonal farming, as well as a variety of human activities such as washing, dyeing, and drying textiles.3 Soon after its establishment, Ahmedabad emerged as the region’s administrative capital and as an important node in the Indian Ocean trade network.

Uneasy Negotiations: Urban Redevelopment, Neoliberalism and Hindu Nationalist Politics in Ahmedabad, India Renu Desai (Ph.D
Breslauer Graduate Research Conference, April 2006 Uneasy Negotiations: Urban Redevelopment, Neoliberalism and Hindu Nationalist Politics in Ahmedabad, India Renu Desai (Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Architecture, U.C. Berkeley) ABSTRACT This paper examines the politics of urban space in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, focussing particular attention on the relationship of urban redevelopment to neoliberalism, Hindu nationalist politics and their intersections. While many scholars have studied the multiple ways in which urban landscapes are being re-imagined and re-configured as a result of neoliberal programs, few like Jane M. Jacobs and Arjun Appadurai have sought to specifically focus on the ways in which these neoliberal reconfigurations of the city intersect with racial, religious, and ethnic politics. This paper seeks to contribute to this slim but important body of literature so that we might better understand the multiple articulations and geographical specificities of this intersection and the challenges that it poses for creating inclusive cities in many parts of the world. Furthermore, by locating this study in Ahmedabad, a city which on the one hand has witnessed recurring violence against its minority Muslims at the instigation of Hindu nationalist organizations, and on the other hand is increasingly becoming an important local and regional site for articulating the desire to be “global,” this paper hopes to shed light on the ways in which, through their intersections in urban space, the neoliberal project and religious identity politics reconfigure each other, opening up at the same time greater challenges and new possibilities in the struggle for social justice. The paper examines the politics of urban space in Ahmedabad largely through the lens of an ambitious urban redevelopment project – the Sabaramti River Front Development Project, a US$ 262 million project currently under implementation.

(MUBIN) Institute of Engineering and Technology, Bahiyal, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India 2 Assistant Professor, Civil Engineering Department, CHARUSAT Campus, Changa, Gujarat, India DOI: https://doi.org/10.29121/granthaalayah.v5.i1.2017.1905 Abstract Risk is an exposure to potential loss or damage. It is a general tendency of people to obtain accurate prediction for the future plans of life, making them feel safe. In the real practice, though all matters are related to special laws however, the interaction and the balance between them is complex. This comes to the fact that the real estate’s development is complex and more risky and this may require knowledge and insight in order to professionalize the real estate development process. The complex conditions bring many uncertainties that make it difficult to judge for a perfectly correct prediction. It is therefore, we say that risk is everywhere and unavoidable. The paper highlights the annotations that are identified as the main problems and challenges of risk management in the Indian real estate companies to explore solutions for risk management in India and at last the literature review proceeds toward the highlights of Ahmedabad city of Gujarat state. Keywords: Ahmedabad; Risk Management; Real Estate.
