Status, Revival and Greening of Water Bodies in Delhi STATUS, REVIVAL AND GREENING OF WATER BODIES IN DELHI Delhi Parks And Gardens Society, Department of Environment, Govt. of NCT of Delhi Water bodies Wetlands: All submerged or water saturated lands, natural or manmade, inland or coastal, permanent or temporary, static or dynamic, vegetated or non-vegetated, which necessarily have a land-water interface. The following waterbodies are recognized as wetlands: • oxbow lakes, riverine marshes • freshwater lakes and associated marshes (lacustrine) • freshwater ponds (under 8 ha), marshes, swamps (palustrine) • shrimp ponds, fish ponds • shallow sea bays and straits (under six meters at low tide) • estuaries, deltas • sea beaches (sand, pebbles) • intertidal mudflats, sand flats • mangrove swamps, mangrove forest • coastal brackish and saline lagoons and marshes • salt pans (artificial) • rivers, streams – slow flowing (lower perennial) • rivers, streams – fast flowing (upper perennial) • salt lakes, saline marshes (inland drainage systems) • water storage reservoirs, dams • seasonally flooded grassland, savanna, palm savanna • rice paddies • flooded arable land, irrigated land • swamp forest, temporarily flooded forest • peat bogs • In the context of Delhi water bodies are to be defined as “Bodies of still waters in the urbanscape or ruralscape which are either naturally present or intentionally created” ( In a meeting 5th February, 2002 Commissioner, MCD of the several concerned govt. agencies in Delhi) • Areas of unintentional water logging along railway tracks, canals, highways are excluded”. Delhi Parks And Gardens Society, Department of Environment, Govt. of NCT of Delhi Nature of Water bodies in Delhi Village Ponds:- Most of the water bodies are Village Ponds located in the revenue area of villages. The village ponds are mostly created water bodies having very small localized catchments for gathering rainwater. Most ponds present a picture of neglect. Some of the ponds have become absorbed in the urban area or village abadi area where they have been used to discharge the local waste waters and thus have become cess pools. Lakes:- • A few lakes remain. Most prominent are Bhalaswa Lake (a fresh water oxbow lake on the river floodplain). Another is Sanjay Lake [apparently a meander scour on the floodplain] in East Delhi. Marshes:- • Marshes are found mainly within the floodplain embankments. However Jahangirpuri Marshes, which is presently the largest waterbody in Delhi, is outside the floodplain embankments Step wells Bodies/Aquifers, Artisian Wells • They are created for drinking water purposes and get water out ground water. In In Delhi they are mostly with ASI. Delhi Parks And Gardens Society, Department of Environment, Govt. of NCT of Delhi Why to Preserve Water bodies in Delhi - To augment the declining groundwater reserves. - To recharge aquifer and sustained tube wells operation in the local area -To have a Habitats for aquatic and avian bio-diversity -To add the visual attraction of the area -To moderate Micro-climate -To have Recreational possibilities -To reclaim Soil moisture to support vegetation growth in the localized area Delhi Parks And Gardens Society, Department of Environment, Govt. of NCT of Delhi Problems to Survival of Waterbodies PHYSICAL THREATS • a) Waterbodies are interrupted due to increased urbanisation. • b) Water bodys catchments dry out quickly due to poor and erratic rainfall. • c) Most riverfed waterbodies are disconnected from the river because of intervening embankments • d) Siltation of waterbodies through settlement of soil flow with water inflow leading to eutrophication of waterbodies • E)Slugge and Dirty water in the water bodies due to settlement sewage flow including industrial waste. • e) Solid waste is disposed into some waterbodies to reclaim the land flyash disposal has been done in some waterbodies] • f) Village ponds are often marked for acquisition and reclamation by the govt. for various forms of social infrastructure [schools, dispensaries, sports facilities, parks. As the pond lands are public lands no acquisition proceedings or compensation • g) Ponds have become engulfed in the abadi area in many cases like Lal Dora. In certain case they have become/or becoming cesspools of waste water and the villagers are only too glad to have them filled up. Perception Threats • h) The poor quality of waterbodies, the remoteness and inaccessibility of most of them, as well as the poor quality of their surroundings put them rather low on the environmental radar and as such authorities have no much inclination about reclaiming them. • i)The even citizens also are quite unaware and unconcerned about them in many cases and therefore feel no stake in them. J)The rural citizen, having become reliant on tube wells and tankers also feel that they hardly need them. As such there is little pressure from the public on official agencies to preserve waterbodies. Others • k) Aquatic life and fish, which are the indicators of the health of a waterbody, are conspicuously absent inmost of the waterbodies. • l) Exact ownership and clarification : Area belongs to Revenue Deptt., if taken over by other Department, many years are taken to take over and during this time water body area is neglected of even protection. Similarly during transfer mention of point may also be carelessly marked. • m)Extraction of huge ground water lowered its level made many water bodies dried for many years and appear to be no water body Delhi Parks And Gardens Society, Department of Environment, Govt. of NCT of Delhi Key Issues in Preservation of Waterbodies in Delhi • Preservation of waterbodies is not the mandate of single Government agency. The waterbodies come under jurisdiction of different agencies which have different as well poorly adaptive approachs towards their preservation or maintenance. Institutional arrangements in this regard are very weak. • Lack of precise no of water bodies, exact location, actual area of submergence, total catchment area etc. Inspite of the survey being conducted some doubts persist with regards to the precise number of waterbodies, the actual areas of submergence remain unmapped and unmeasured, the exact location of waterbodies with reference to village abadis remains unmapped. This hinders the development of an action plan as well as deprives monitoring of changes. • A major issue is whether every single waterbody should be preserved as it is or should the present available water spread be maintained on a reasonably dispersed basis. It may not be possible to rejuvenate all waterbodies or service each of them with water supply. Many of them are far too small to make any worthwhile impact on the aquifer. Should tiny waterbodies or cesspools in the midst of abadi areas be preserved or should they be allowed to be maintained as green? The lost waterspread is recreated elsewhere where it can be part of a larger waterbody and be maintained perennially as well. • Awareness about the surface waterbodies of Delhi and their potential is extremely low both in the Govt. as well as in the public mind. The public is not aware of its stakes in the preservation of wtaerbodies • Lack of proper and unified Action Plans and monitoring. Delhi Parks And Gardens Society, Department of Environment, Govt. of NCT of Delhi Proposed Action Plan • The plan of action, is to be monitored by the Hon. High Court. • The first requirement the institutional arrangements under the aegis of which sustained work can take place where all the concerned agencies can be represented. As such it is proposed that a Waterbody Development Agency/Authority may be set up in Delhi on the lines of a similar Lake Development Authority in Bangalore. • As Such Nodal agency has been formed headed by the Chief Secretary, Govt. of NCT Delhi with representation from DDA, Delhi Jal Board, MCD and Department of Tourism, Delhi and others. Further, representatives from CPWD, ASI, NDMC, MCD is also designated for representing their agencies . NGO representation is also made. • Objectives : • a) To establish a mapped database of all waterbodies • b) To draw up action plans and follow them for preservation and maintenance o water bodies and water quality and surrounding development • c) To monitor changes in water bodies deciding each case on merit • d) To enforce periodical preservation of water bodies w.r.t. size and water quality) • e) To promote awareness about Delhi’s water bodies • f) To actively seek opportunities to enlarge the water and green spread in Delhi • g) To draw up plans for the use of water bodies for decentralized water supply and/or recreation and/or as biodiversity habitats Delhi Parks And Gardens Society, Department of Environment, Govt. of NCT of Delhi Components of Action Plan for Each Waterbody i) Desiltation ii) Water Augmentation by linkage to canals, storm water drain or recycled water supply from STPs or waterlogging/floodwaters to waterbodies iii)Upgradation of waters through various bio-remediation techniques including fisheries iv) Sustainable decentralized water supply in rural areas by shallow tube wells based on the recharge effected through waterbodies followed by decentralized treatment [this would create a major stake in the sustenance of waterbodies] v) Landscape, Greening, biodiversity and recreational facilities to be incorporated with waterbodies and its watershed/catchment to make for visual attraction as well as public interest viii) Revenue generation aspects should be considered Delhi Parks And Gardens Society, Department of Environment, Govt. of NCT

  • Yamuna Does Not Belong to Haryana... We’Re Working on Contingencies’ ­ the Hindu
    2/29/2016 ‘Yamuna does not belong to Haryana... we’re working on contingencies’ ­ The Hindu CITIES » DELHI Published: February 29, 2016 00:00 IST | Updated: February 29, 2016 05:34 IST ​ February 29, 2016 ‘Yamuna does not belong to Haryana... we’re working on contingencies’ We are looking at interlinking our water treatment plants, says DJB chief Kapil Mishra.Photo: Sushil Kumar Verma Delhi Jal Board chairperson Kapil Mishra speaks to Damini Nath about some initiatives that the Delhi government is considering in case the Capital faces a water crisis again. You've said earlier that Delhi depends on the Yamuna for water, not Haryana. But, the recent agitation in Haryana hit Delhi's water supply. Doesn't this show the dependence on Haryana? The river does not belong to Haryana. The river is for all of us. And Haryana too gets water from Punjab. The water that Delhi gets from Haryana is as per certain guidelines, treaties and even a Supreme Court order. Haryana is bound by the guidelines to share water with Delhi. Given how the Jat protests led to a shutdown of seven DJB plants, are you planning on any emergency measures in the future so the crisis is not repeated? We cannot replace the river. Delhi is the Capital of the country because the Yamuna flows through it. We need the Yamuna, but we should also have a week to 10 days’ worth of water supply of our own in case of emergencies. The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) is working on a plan that will be ready soon.

  • Bird Species in Delhi-“Birdwatching” Tourism
    Conference Proceedings: 2 nd International Scientific Conference ITEMA 2018 BIRD SPECIES IN DELHI-“BIRDWATCHING” TOURISM Zeba Zarin Ansari 63 Ajay Kumar 64 Anton Vorina 65 https://doi.org/10.31410/itema.2018.161 Abstract : A great poet William Wordsworth once wrote in his poem “The world is too much with us” that we do not have time to relax in woods and to see birds chirping on trees. According to him we are becoming more materialistic and forgetting the real beauty of nature. Birds are counted one of beauties of nature and indeed they are smile giver to human being. When we get tired or bored of something we seek relax to a tranquil place to overcome the tiredness. Different birds come every morning to make our day fresh. But due to drainage system, over population, cutting down of trees and many other disturbances in the metro city like Delhi, lots of species of birds are disappearing rapidly. Thus a conservation and management system need to be required to stop migration and disappearance of birds. With the government initiative and with the help of concerned NGOs and other departments we need to settle to the construction of skyscrapers. As we know bird watching tourism is increasing rapidly in the market, to make this tourism as the fastest outdoor activity in Delhi, the place will have to focus on the conservation and protection of the wetlands and forests, management of groundwater table to make a healthy ecosystem, peaceful habitats and pollution-free environment for birds. Delhi will also have to concentrate on what birdwatchers require, including their safety, infrastructure, accessibility, quality of birdlife and proper guides.

Though wetlands comprise of only 4% of the total earth’s surface, these are the most productive ecosystems and provide a wide range of ecological services like recharging of ground water, food, raw materials, habitat for wildlife, recreational values, etc. But these fragile ecosystems are under tremendous stress due to different anthropogenic activities like developmental activities, unplanned urbanization, pollution and growth of population, particularly in metropolitan cities like Delhi. As a consequence, there has been a decline in the hydrological, economic and ecological functions provided by the wetlands. This paper concentrates on the important wetlands of Delhi and gives an account on its importance and the continuous threats they are exposed to. It also discusses the management and restoration techniques that can be deployed to retrieve these dying entities. Key words: Wetlands; fragile ecosystem; ecological services; threats; management and restoration 1) INTRODUCTION functions such as recharging ground water, attenuating Wetlands are defined as the transitional ecosystems floods, purifying water, recycling nutrients and also between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
