Justice Patil Committee: Action Plan

Allocation of Lakes to BBMP, BDA, LDA, KFD for – Installation of fence and laying of embankments
Identification of unauthorized construction within the areas of the lakes and the removal thereof
Removal of silt and weeds
Stoppage of flow of untreated wastewater into lakes
Additional activities
Survey of the lakes (Revenue Dept.)
Water Quality monitoring (KSPCB)
Management of sewage in the entire BBMP area (BWSSB)
Management of storm water (BBMP)
Aforestation (Forests department)
What is needed?
A strategic, coordinated and sustained scientific approach is necessary
Basin/ Watershed approach is required with lake prioritization
Lake degradation related issues need to be studied in depth
Use of modern tools: Math modeling, Remote sensing, Bio-monitoring
Innovative technologies for in-situ treatment in channels, in-situ remediation in lakes need to be explored
New models for “conservation finance”, institutional roles and partnerships

Strategic Action Plan ….
Common Vision, Guiding and Operational Principles
Setting of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Developing a Strategic Action Plan
Supported by policies and plans, enforcement, roll out of
programs & projects (investments), capacity building,
monitoring & assessment, reporting
Addressing the lake eco-system as a whole in the
catchment area (surface & ground water; forests, fauna &
land resources, health and livelihoods)
Water security addressing threats due to climate change
