SUMMARY:Water and Indian Cities: A Futuristic Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Habitat Forum (INHAF) invites you to the second episode of its 5 Part new Conversation Series on Water and City.\nProf S Janakarajan will engage in Conversation with Dr. Nupur Bahadur on Water in Indian Cities: A Futuristic Analysis\nJoin us on Monday, May 20, 2024, at 4 PM IST.\nDegree of urban expansion has been pretty rapid in Indian cities. Climate change impact is likely to be more severe on the mega cities in India, more to the marginalized sections of the population. All Indian cities have substantial extent of slum population ranging from 20 to 40%. Urban expansion process is irreversible. Of course, urban expansion contributes to the market expansion, state’s economy and to its finances positively – After all, cities are regarded as engines of growth. And, at the given rate of urban expansion of the cities in India, the domestic and drinking water needs of the city growing city population are going to be one of the most important and pressing demands in the near future. But do we have any concrete plans to handle such a challenging situation? Do we have any control over such urban expansion programs? How do Metropolitan Development Authorities in India justify urban expansion plans?\nThe consequences of such urban expansion programs can have devastating impact on ecology and environment. At the moment, the IT capital of India, Bengaluru city is facing a crisis situation. Many cities in India have had devastating impacts. Have we learnt any lessons from the disasters that the Indian cities have experienced so far?\nAt the given degree of urban expansion, one is really concerned about what will be the future of the Indian cities as regards water demand and supply. And, also the situation will be one of either “excess rainfall / excess water (flood) or low rainfall / less water (drought). Indeed, the climate change is threatening more as never before.\n
