The Indian urban space has been understood in an undifferentiated manner, which ignores the specificities deriving from the stage of urban development, the sources of water, as also the diverse nature of aquifers characterizing urban settlements. This paper provides a new presentation of the urban water problem and offers a set of solutions that are sustainable, both in ecological and financial terms, and seek to tackle the deep inequities in the urban water space in India. It highlights the significance of groundwater, the dark spot of Indian urban water planning and proposes a typology that could be used to comprehend the diversity of urban aquifer formations. The paper highlights the urban wastewater challenge and emphasises the need to work simultaneously on water and wastewater management. The paper advances a series of hypotheses, an initial analytical framework and the outlines of a way forward for urban water systems in India, which could provide a rich terrain for further research. The paper concludes with brief illustrative case-studies of two major emerging cities – Indore and Nagpur – where the new approach advocated in the paper could be fruitfully tried out. _________ Keywords: aquifers, wastewater treatment, recycling, water distribution, PPP JEL classification: Q Author’s Email: [email protected] _________ Disclaimer: Opinions and recommendations in the report are exclusively of the author(s) and not of any other individual or institution including ICRIER.

Point of Departure The global urban population is expected to nearly double to 6.4 billion by 2050, with about 90% of the growth in low-income countries. The predicted increase in the number of urban slum dwellers is to 2 billion in the next 30 years (Global Water Partnership, 2013). In India, the number of people living in urban areas is expected to more than double and grow to around 800 million by 2050. This will pose unprecedented challenges for water management in urban India. The Indian economy and society already face daunting challenges in the water sector, as we move into the second decade of the 21st century. The demands of a rapidly industrialising economy and urbanizing society come at a time when the potential for augmenting supply is limited, water tables are falling and

  • WQI) for the Assessment of Surface Water Quality (Ambazari Lake
    Available online a t www.pelagiaresearchlibrary.com Pelagia Research Library European Journal of Experimental Biology, 2015, 5(2):37-52 ISSN: 2248 –9215 CODEN (USA): EJEBAU Application of water quality index (WQI) for the assessment of surface water quality (Ambazari Lake) P. J. Puri *, M.K.N. Yenkie, D.B. Rana and S.U. Meshram Department of Applied Chemistry, L.I.T., RTM Nagpur University, Nagpur-440033 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The present work aims at assessing the water quality index (WQI) in the surface water (Ambazari lake) situated in Nagpur city, Maharashtra India, by monitoring five sampling locations within Ambazari lake (viz., inlet1, inlet2, centre, corner and outlet) for a period of 3 months from August to October-2013. For calculating the WQI, 14 parameters, namely, pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total hardness, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, sulphate, nitrate, fluorides and iron were considered. It is apparent from WQI values that Ambazari Lake water with WQI values ranging from 42.28 to 49.84(pre-immersion period), 58.57 to 109.66(immersion period) and 55.19 to 62.74 (post-immersion period falls under simply good to poor water category. It was observed that the values of physicochemical parameters significantly increased during the immersion period and then declined in the post-immersion period, however the general trend observed was: immersion > post-immersion > pre-immersion values. The present study revealed that Ambazari lake water is polluted (due to surface run-off, bathing activities, agriculture run-off, effluents from upstream from surrounding industrial and garden area, immersion of idols of God and Goddess during festival season), and is unsuitable for human consumption, industrial purpose also for the survival of life forms unless treated properly.

  • Journal of Integrated Disaster Risk Manangement
    IDRiM (2020) 10 (1) ISSN: 2185-8322 DOI10.5595/001c.16635 Journal of Integrated Disaster Risk Management Original paper A Water-Energy-Food Nexus-Based Conceptual Approach for Developing Smart Urban-Rural Linkages in Nagpur Metropolitan Area, India Vibhas Sukhwani 1* and Rajib Shaw 1 Received: 25/02/2020 / Accepted: 10/07/2020 / Published online: 20/08/2020 Abstract Urban and rural areas are dynamic systems, functionally interlinked through their social, economic, and environmental settings. While urban population heavily depends on the natural resources sourced from surrounding rural areas, the rural population is increasingly reliant on urban areas for employment, healthcare etc. In the recent years, the notion of urban- rural linkage has gained high prominence in the global policy outcomes, including the Sustainable Development Goals and The New Urban Agenda, particularly in response to the rapid urbanization trends and climate change. However, it’s application at local level development planning is still not apparent. In case of the Nagpur Metropolitan Area ‘NMA’ in India, a Smart City and Smart Rural ‘Rurban’ Cluster are being developed adjacently under two different missions of Government of India which are totally disconnected. While urban- rural systems in NMA are already stressed with the situations of resource conflict (like water supply), their relationships are expected to get further constrained under changing climate scenarios. Addressing this need, we present a knowledge-based conceptual framework that presents an overall picture of the water resource flow (specifically from a Water-Energy-Food nexus perspective) between urban and rural areas within NMA. Based on the developed framework, the study suggests feasible directions for smartly linking the upcoming developments in Nagpur Smart city and adjacent Rurban cluster.

  • Hydrogeomorphology and Watershed Management Studies of Kosigi Mandal, Kurnool District, Andhra Pradesh, India Using Remote Sensing and GIS [1] N
    ISSN (Online) 2394-2320 International Journal of Engineering Research in Computer Science and Engineering (IJERCSE) Vol 4, Issue 8, August 2017 Hydrogeomorphology and Watershed management studies of Kosigi Mandal, Kurnool District, Andhra Pradesh, India using Remote Sensing and GIS [1] N. Lakshmi Narayana, [2] T. Madhu [1] Department of Geology, Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, India [2] District Water Management Agency-Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, India Abstract— The ancient civilizations flourished along the banks of rivers where water was freely available. As the population grew man had to move away from rivers and for needs of water, had to search for solutions like storing of rain water (or) surface run- off. Thus, emerged the practice of water harvesting, a new word for an ancient system. Increasing needs for water, putting a high strain on the available water resources automatically leads to the conservation of water and water resources. In a region where the rainfall is low and scanty, it became all the more important to save every drop of it. Scientists and technologists are carrying out experiments all over the world to obtain water by cloud seeding, desalination and various artificial means, still Still shortage of water is a perpetual phenomenon throughout the world, particularly in India, and more so in the State of Andhra Pradesh. Getting water by the above mentioned means will only be a distant possibility but cannot be a permanent solution. Nature is always kind to us but the people are not responding to it in a matching manner. From rain water harvesting, we can save money avoiding the increasing economic and environmental costs associated with purchasing water from the centralized water system.
