Effect of Mega Bridge on Hydro-Morphodynamics of Waterfront Facilities in Wide Estuarine Harbours- a Sustainable Development Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Aquatic Procedia 4 ( 2015 ) 341 – 348 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WATER RESOURCES, COASTAL AND OCEAN ENGINEERING (ICWRCOE 2015) Effect of Mega Bridge on Hydro-morphodynamics of Waterfront Facilities in Wide Estuarine Harbours- A Sustainable Development A.A. Purohit a*, M.M. Vaidya a, K.A. Chavan a, M.D. Kudale a aCentral Water & Power Research Station, Khadakwasla P.O, Pune 411024, India Abstract Mumbai being traditionally the epicentre of India’s commerce, the narrow stretch of land (Mumbai Island) has seen a steady increase in population despite obvious spatial constraints. Hence for easing the pressure on the island city, development of Navi Mumbai on east has been identified. However lack of easy connectivity to Navi Mumbai has stunted its growth and pressure on Mumbai’s infrastructure viz. roads/bridges continues to mount. As such to cater the need of road traffic/avoid traffic jams, it is inevitable to have Mega Bridge (MTHL) connecting Mumbai to Navi Mumbai spanning across entire width (17 km) of wide estuarine region, wherein major ports viz. Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru exist. These ports are facing problem of increased siltation. Hence to assess effect of MTHL consisting of hundreds of piers, which may have detrimental effect on existing waterfront facilities from hydro-morphodynamic aspect, studies are essential to ensure that development is sustainable. The effect of MTHL under complex hydrodynamic condition is compared by developing mathematical model for Mumbai/JN port area. The model shows 95% and 90% agreement for water level & current respectively with the prototype. The effect of Mega Bridge, studied from hydro-morphodynamic considerations on existing waterfront facilities in Mumbai/JN port area is insignificant and may not hamper smooth functioning and as such is a sustainable development.

Purohit et al. / Aquatic Procedia 4 ( 2015 ) 341 – 348 exception to this and is also expanding its facilities almost at the same pace. These infrastructure developments are in the form of new road/rail networks, industries, townships, bridges, airports as well as major/minor ports to serve the need of waterborne transport in the country. Rapid modernisation and globalisation of the world in last few decades has necessitated India to carry out these infrastructural developments at speedy rate to fulfill the present requirements and cope up with the demands of future. In order to boost the economy, government has adopted policy of liberalisation and globalisation. Many private companies as well as joint venture organisations are coming up in the country to support Govt. policy of building power plants, minor port facilities, bridges, road networks etc. Waterborne transport facilities being the cheapest mode of transport, many coastal structures are being built in the country to explore the benefits of its resources. Presently, thirteen major ports and hundreds of minor ports are serving the country to cater the needs of waterborne transport. However, existing port facilities are not sufficient to cater future demands. In view of above, majority of new waterfront developments in the form of berths/jetties, docks etc. are being built either along the coastline or in estuarine/riverine areas. These developments require reclamations to stack material, bridges/approaches etc. Many townships are also being built in nearby area by reclaiming water area. Hence it is likely that it will alter the flow field at existing waterfront facilities, which may have adverse impact from hydro-morphodynamic consideration. Amongst the existing major ports in India, ports such as Mumbai, Jawaharlal Nehru (JN), Haldia, Kolkata and Kandla are natural/estuarine ports and are situated well inside the estuary/creek or are in the gulf region, while remaining ports are on open coast with breakwaters to achieve tranquility at berths for safe loading/unloading of ships. Mumbai and JN Ports are on West Coast of India and their locations in Arabian Sea are shown in Fig.1. Fig. 1. Location Plan of Mumbai & JN Port area Mumbai is a mega city of India and is not only the capital of Maharashtra state but also financial capital of the country. The city is well equipped with various infrastructures and connected to the rest of the country with transport facilities like rail/road networks and also to other countries with air and waterborne transport connectivity. Due to rapid industrialisation and Mumbai being traditionally the epicentre of India’s commerce, this narrow stretch of land (Mumbai Island) has seen a steady increase in population in the last three decades despite obvious spatial constraints. Hence, development of Navi Mumbai has been identified as an urgent requirement for easing pressure on the island city. Also many suburbs are being developed on the eastern side of Mumbai City in Thane, Panvel and Dharamtar creek areas either by various Governmental or Non-Governmental organisations. However lack of easy A.A. Purohit et al. / Aquatic Procedia 4 ( 2015 ) 341 – 348 343 connectivity to the mainland (Navi Mumbai), has stunted the growth and pressure on the island’s infrastructure continues to mount (2012). In order to cater the need of road traffic and avoid traffic Jams, Maharashtra Govt. has constructed number of flyovers in Mumbai city and still more are being built. However they are not sufficient and hence the problem of traffic jams right from Fort area in Mumbai up to Vashi city and beyond exists. All vehicles have to pass Sion/Chembur area to reach Vashi Bridge, which takes considerable time of about 2-3 hours during peak hours of traffic. Hence in order to connect the Island of Mumbai (west side) to main land (east side) there is a great need to have Mega Bridge (MTHL) crossing the entire Thane creek. The Government intends to provide a road and metro-link between Sewri on the island city of Mumbai with Chirle in Navi Mumbai on the mainland side, which passes through the harbour area of Mumbai & JN port as shown in Fig.2. Fig. 2. Location plan of proposed Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) The peculiarity of Mumbai/JN harbour is that, it has ultra-wide estuarine entrance of about 10 km and it extends in Thane creek having water spread up to 30-40 km north. Also type of tide prevailing being macro semi-diurnal in nature with spring tidal range of about 5.0 m, large volume of tidal flux gets exchanged in and out of Thane creek during tidal cycle. This results in strong tide induced currents during flood/ebb tide and also significant sediment transport. The harbour areas of these ports are well protected from waves due to Salsette/Mumbai Island on the west and mainland on the east. The infrastructure developments in Navi Mumbai area are in the form of real estates, road/rail networks and waterfront structures in the form of Jetties, Wharfs etc. These developments are carried out mainly by reclaiming low lying areas. Major port like JN is also developing rapidly by planning a couple of kilometre long mega container terminal and reclamation in few hundred Hectares for stacking the containers. These developments will have some effect on siltation in the Harbour area. At present, the rate of siltation is not alarming, but it cannot be ignored also. Development of any facility/infrastructure may have detrimental effect on existing waterfront facilities and as such in order to have new development as a sustainable development, it is essential to study its impact on hydro- morphodynamics of entire harbour region. In Mumbai harbour tidal action is dominant than waves and it creates movement of large water mass to fill and empty the creeks, resulting in movement of sediment. Bed material in the harbour is very fine in nature and is brought in suspension by disturbance and is transported to and fro depending on direction and speed of tidal current. Tidal current plays an important role in transportation and redistribution of bed material within the harbour. In view of Mega Bridge (MTHL) being planned entirely crossing the Thane creek, wherein many piers are to be constructed; it may affect flow field and hence assessing effect of proposed development on existing waterfront structures in Thane creek from tidal hydrodynamic considerations is essential. 344 A.A. Purohit et al. / Aquatic Procedia 4 ( 2015 ) 341 – 348 2. Existing berthing Facilities in Mumbai harbour and Oceanographic phenomena The berthing facilities available in Thane/Panvel Creeks near Mumbai are mainly for berthing of either large container/crude/ bulk carriers, which are operated by Mumbai & JN Port Authorities. However, many small berthing facilities/waterfront structures in the form of wharfs, piled jetties, ferry terminals also exist in this region, which are owned either by private companies or government undertakings to cater the need of passenger transport or material handling.

  • Present Status of Mangrove Ecosystem in and Around Mumbai (West Coast of India)
    Present status of mangrove ecosystem in and around Mumbai (West Coast of India) B.G. Kulkarni1, A. Babar1, A. Jaiswar2 & B. Desai-Chavan1 1Department of Biological Oceanography, The Institute of Science, Mumbai 400 032, India. E-mail: [email protected] 2Central Institute of Fisheries Education, Versova, Andheri, Mumbai 400 062, India. Abstract Mumbai is one of the metropolitan of India located on western coast at 180 53’ north to 190 16’north latitude and from 720 E to 720 59 E longitude. Mumbai endowed with coast line of 100km which is intended with creek and estuaries. Once upon a time plentiful density and diversity of Mangroves was present on most of the coastal area of Mumbai. At present patches of mangroves exist at Mahim and Gorai creek, and at coastal belt of Versova, Sewri, Colaba, and Bandra. Moderate mangrove patches are also present around Mumbai in coastal areas of Elephanta Island, Uran, Vashi, Vasai, Thane and Bhyander creeks. Although 15 species of mangroves identified in and around Mumbai, most of the coastal areas harbor Avicennia marina. It has been noticed A. marina tolerate polluted coastal water at Mahim creek and other coastal zones in Mumbai. Due to heavy development of housing construction, most of the mangrove density in and around Mumbai is reducing day by day. Recent oil spill incidences in coastal waters of Mumbai found to damage the mangrove ecosystem. In marshy areas of Sewri, Elephanta Island and Vashi heavy coasting of oil on leaves and lower part of mangrove tree is recorded. Further, young mangrove trees found dead at some of these areas.

  • Eutrophication Status of Marine Environment of Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru Ports
    EUTROPHICATION STATUS OF MARINE ENVIRONMENT OF MUMBAI AND JAWAHARLAL NEHRU PORTS S.S. SAWANT*, L. PRABHUDESSAI and K. VENKAT National Institute of Oceanography, Dona Paula, Goa - 403 004, INDIA (* author for correspondence, email:[email protected], fax:91(0)832 2450704, tel:91(0) 832 2450380) Running head: EUTROPHICATION STATUS OF MARINE ENVIRONMENT 2 Abstract. The marine environment of Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru ports was monitored for some environmental and biological parameters during three different periods between 2001 and 2002. The results are compared with the records available since sixties. With the passage of time the environmental status underwent changes, probably due to the increase in anthropogenic activities in the metropolis. The nutrient level especially the nitrate concentration has increased gradually over the years with a simultaneous decrease in dissolved oxygen, indicating increase in the biological activity. Characterization of this environment based on Assessment of Estuarine Trophic Status (ASSETS) model indicates that the current status is poor and may get worsen in future if no appropriate management policies are put into place. Keywords: eutrophication, mumbai, jawaharlal nehru, modeling, marine, anthropogenic, nutrients, environment. 3 1. Introduction Unprecedented increase of human activities, in and around Mumbai, has imposed considerable stress on the surrounding marine environment, including Mumbai harbour. Mumbai is one of the fastest growing regions of India. Its population has increased from 4 million in 1960 to 7.7 million in 1971. It is projected to increase from 18.3 million as per 2001 census to 22.4 million in 2011. This increase in population are well on the potential expansion of trade through shipping is likely to worsen the situation unless management policies are put into place (Acharya and Nangia, 2004).

CRIT would also like to thank Yogita Lokhande, Chitra Venkatramani and Ubaid Ansari for their contributions in this project. Front Cover: Street in Fanaswadi, Inner City Area of Mumbai 2 Study of House Types in Mumbai As any other urban area with a dense history, Mumbai has several kinds of house types developed over various stages of its history. However, unlike in the case of many other cities all over the world, each one of its residences is invariably occupied by the city dwellers of this metropolis. Nothing is wasted or abandoned as old, unfitting, or dilapidated in this colossal economy. The housing condition of today’s Mumbai can be discussed through its various kinds of housing types, which form a bulk of the city’s lived spaces This study is intended towards making a compilation of house types in (and wherever relevant; around) Mumbai. House Type here means a generic representative form that helps in conceptualising all the houses that such a form represents. It is not a specific design executed by any important architect, which would be a-typical or unique. It is a form that is generated in a specific cultural epoch/condition. This generic ‘type’ can further have several variations and could be interestingly designed /interpreted / transformed by architects.

Untreated wastewater from the plant was discharged to Thane Creek for several years. Thane Creek joins to Ulhas Estuary, an impacted estuary by mercury (Hg) released by several industries including two chlor- alkali industries by a narrow arm and opens to Arabian Sea through Mumbai Harbour. In order to understand historical record of anthropogenic Hg and its association to Al, Fe and total organic carbon (TOC), estimation of Hg, Al, Fe and TOC was made in surface sediments and cores from Thane Creek-Mumbai Harbour (Bay) and the adjacent coastal area. Though 70 % of the plant has been changed to membrane-cell based technology, surficial sediment in the vicinity of effluent release contain high concentration (up to 1.19 μg g-1 dry wt) of Hg as compared to its background value (0.10 µg g-1 dry wt). The contaminated creek sediments are prone to current-driven resuspension and are acting as a strong source of Hg to the sediment of coastal region.

  • Geology of the Elephanta Island Fault Zone, Western Indian Rifted Margin, and Its Significance for Understanding the Panvel flexure
    J. Earth Syst. Sci. (2017) 126: 9 c Indian Academy of Sciences DOI 10.1007/s12040-016-0793-8 Geology of the Elephanta Island fault zone, western Indian rifted margin, and its significance for understanding the Panvel flexure Hrishikesh Samant1, Ashwin Pundalik1, Joseph D’souza2, Hetu Sheth2,∗, Keegan Carmo Lobo1, Kyle D’souza1 and Vanit Patel2 1Department of Geology, St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai 400 001, India. 2Department of Earth Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Powai, Mumbai 400 076, India. ∗Corresponding author. e-mail: [email protected] The Panvel flexure is a 150-km long tectonic structure, comprising prominently seaward-dipping Deccan flood basalts, on the western Indian rifted margin. Given the active tectonic faulting beneath the Panvel flexure zone inferred from microseismicity, better structural understanding of the region is needed. The geology of Elephanta Island in the Mumbai harbour, famous for the ca. mid-6th century A.D. Hindu rock-cut caves in Deccan basalt (a UNESCO World Heritage site) is poorly known. We describe a previ- ously unreported but well-exposed fault zone on Elephanta Island, consisting of two large faults dipping steeply east–southeast and producing easterly downthrows. Well-developed slickensides and structural measurements indicate oblique slip on both faults. The Elephanta Island fault zone may be the north- ern extension of the Alibag–Uran fault zone previously described. This and two other known regional faults (Nhava–Sheva and Belpada faults) indicate a progressively eastward step-faulted structure of the Panvel flexure, with the important result that the individual movements were not simply downdip but also oblique-slip and locally even rotational (as at Uran).
