Brief History of Pune's Water Supply! P R I S M [SEPTEMBER 2017 EDITION VOLUME 4] Brief history of Pune’s water supply! • Katraj Lake which is located 10 km south of Pune city, was created by damming of the Ambil river. • This historic water supply system comprises huge ducts and underground tunnels originating from Katraj Lake of the city to the historic Shaniwarwada Fort, the ancient seat of the Peshwas. Fig 1, Katraj Lake • This underground water supply system is considered an engineering marvel as it could supply water to practically the whole of Pune then without the need for motors and pipelines, which are used at present. • This scheme played vital role as Pune was flooded when Panshet tumbled down in 1961. The Panshet breakdown. Half a century ago, the new under-construction Panshet dam had started developing some problems, even before it was complete. Against some recommendations, the dam was being filled up during the 1961 monsoon season. Cracks started developing. Due to the efforts of Army Jawans, the inevitable was delayed by a few hours. If not for this great effort, where thousands of sand bags were deployed, the dam would have burst in the middle of the night, creating havoc for the sleeping residents of Pune.The precious time saved meant that the burst happened early morning and the wall of flood waters reached Pune later in the day. The deluge of flood waters of Panshet also broke the smaller Khadakwasla dam, further downstream. The low lying areas of the old city were almost completely submerged. Except for the Bund Garden Bridge, all the bridges were under water as well. The floods completely cutoff the electric and water supply. Some people and rescue workers were trying navigate Deccan Gymkhana, FC/JM Road areas in small boats. An estimated 1,000 people died from the resulting flood. Fig 2- Lakdi Pul, during the floods and the present state. Current water status Punekars use the waters of the Mutha from the Khadakwasla reservoir. Dams at Panshet, Warasgaon and Temghar supplement the storage capacity of Khadakwasla. The Katraj and Pashan have a significant role in recharge of ground water which is used by thousands of Punekars. Water treatment plants have been built by PMC at Parvati , Pune Cantonment, Holkar Bridge Warje (new and old), Wagholi and Wadgaon. Untreated water from the dam may contain dirt and germs. It is treated by PMC to make it safe for consumption and use. The treatment involves straining, alum addition (flocculation), settling, filtration and chlorination. Water is supplied to different parts of the city through a network of pumping stations and pipelines. Since these water pumps run on electricity, the electricity bill is a large part of cost of distributing water.. UNCOMPROMISED SUSTAINABILITY • WATER • COLORDRY: PRODUCED 600,000 YARDS OF FABRIC, SAVING 20 MILLION LITERS OF WATER • ColorDry Polo delivers brilliant colors with minimal environmental impact.It takes 30 liters of water to dye a T-shirt using traditional dyeing methods. ColorDry technology removes water from the dyeing process by using recycled CO2 to infuse fabric with intense, saturated color. The technology also saves energy and eliminates the need for added chemicals in the fabric dyeing process. • WASTE • RECYCLED POLYESTER: NIKE IS THE WORLD’S TOP USER OF RECYCLED POLYESTER IN THE APPAREL INDUSTRY, WITH 39% OF GARMENTS CONTAINING POLYESTER WHICH IS RECYCLED. • The breakthrough of waterless dyeing is combined with another sustainable apparel innovation: recycled polyester. The ColorDry Polo is 100 percent recycled polyester, made from polyester manufacturing scraps and recycled plastic bottles that are washed, chopped into flakes and melted down to produce fine yarn used to create the polo's fabric. • An equivalent of nine recycled plastic bottles is used to make each polo. Since 2010, Nike has diverted more than two billion bottles from landfills, enough to cover over 3,500 full-sized soccer pitches. • NIKE GRIND – A PALETTE OF PREMIUM RECYCLED MATERIALS IS USED IN 71% OF NIKE FOOTWEAR AND APPAREL PRODUCTS, IN EVERYTHING FROM YARNS AND TRIMS, TO SOCCER KITS AND BASKETBALL SHOES • NIKE Grind is a premium materials palette born from a regeneration process of original materials and products. NIKE Grind is redirecting millions of pounds of manufacturing scrap and old shoes into new uses. Waste streams – including rubber, foam and textile scrap – are transformed into new, premium materials. NIKE Grind delivers on NIKE’s expectation that materials and products will perform beyond a single use, living on from one product to the next. • NIKE’s Reuse-A-Shoe program has collected and recycled more than 30 million pairs of used shoes. NIKE Grind materials have been incorporated into more than 1 billion square feet of sports surfaces, such as running tracks, soccer and American football fields, gym room floors, and playground surfaces.

The total number of unit 40% Q-o-Q DECLINE IN NEW launches in Pune stood at 4,535 in Q2, a decline of nearly 40% q-o-q. However, the absolute number of launches still remained healthy with a few LAUNCHES IN Q2 2020 developers announcing new blocks within previously launched residential projects in a staggered manner. Mid segment continued to dominate launch activity during the quarter, accounting for a 74% share of launches whilst the affordable and high end segments had shares of 21% and 5%, respectively. SHARE OF MID-SEGMENT The NH4 Bypass submarket led the Q2 launch activity with a 58% share followed by Pimpri (17%) & South East (9%) submarkets. Locations like 74% IN Q2 2020 Hinjewadi, Balewadi, Bavdhan, and Tathawade within the NH4 Bypass submarket were the major contributors of launches during the quarter. Going forward, the Pune residential market is expected to witness delays of 3-6 months in construction schedules for most of the ongoing residential SHARE OF NH4 BYPASS projects due to labour and raw material shortages. However, the six month extension of project completion deadlines extended by MahaRERA for 58% SUBMARKET IN Q2 LAUNCHES registered projects, which were to be completed by or after March 15, will provide some measure of relief to developers. Decline in transacted residential prices While the quoted capital values in Pune remained stable from the previous quarter across all submarkets, developers are now showing increasing flexibility during discussions.

In case of rivers sediment particles originating from processes of erosion in the catchment and propagated along with the river flow. When the flow of a river is stored in a reservoir, the sediment settles in the reservoir and reduces its capacity. Reduction in the storage capacity of a reservoir beyond a limit hampers the purpose for which it was designed. Thus assessment of sediment deposition becomes very important for the management and operation of such reservoirs. Some conventional methods, such as hydrographic survey and inflow-outflow approaches, are used for estimation of sediment deposition in a reservoir, but these methods are cumbersome, time consuming and expensive. As a result multi date remote sensing data (IRS-1C/1D/P6, L1SS III) has been utilised to calculate water spread area. The revised capacity of the reservoir between maximum and minimum water levels were computed using the prismoidal formula. The capacity estimated could be utilised for compaision with hydographic survey to estimate loss of capacity of the reservoir. As such the loss of reservoir capacity is equal to the sediment deposition takes place in the reservoir.

  • 6. Water Quality ------61 6.1 Surface Water Quality Observations ------61 6.2 Ground Water Quality Observations ------62 7
    Version 2.0 Krishna Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by human interventions.
