The area has seen a massive decline of forests without about 24 to 30 percent giving way tosenseless large-scale land use

e-Paper | Sunday Chronicle

Development has to take place However it certainly cannot happen at the cost of

fragile ecosystems which provide food and water security to us Our blind pursuit of

development has allowed massive encroachments of forest land which can lead only

to more oods and conversely more water scarcity Dr TV Ramachandra Head

Scientist IISc tells Aksheev Thakur

The oods in Kerala and Kodagu are the tragic indication of mismanagement of the riverine

ecosystem This includes our land and water resources The watershed or catchment area of

a water body retains the ow of water and mitigates oods and droughts these are either

areas covered by natural vegetation or monoculture plantations Our studies in the area

indicate higher levels of inltration between 40 and 50 percent in the catchments covered by

native vegetation while that dominated by monoculture plantations allows inltration to an

extent of between 15 and 24 percent Degraded catchment areas where extensive

deforestation or devegetation has taken place has very little inltration capacity This is also

evident with the existence of perennial streams in the catchment dominated by native

vegetation

The mismanagement of watershed and catchment areas as well as the lack of accountability amongst our decision makers arethe prime causes of the floods in these regions

e-Paper | Sunday Chronicle

However catchments in which native vegetation has been degraded has seasonal streams

that dry out in about four months while those with monoculture plantations do so in

between six and eight months

The area has seen a massive decline of forests without about 24 to 30 percent giving way to

senseless large-scale land use Deforestation and the infestation of monoculture plantations

are the prime cause of oods for they have resulted in a sharp decline in water retention

capability of the respective waterbody catchment

The coastal areas are more vulnerable compared to inland areas like Bengaluru

Kerala has faced ecological destruction since 1970s and Bengaluru city too is same

We have infrastructural projects at places where it is not required Our city planning

should include climate resilience which would incorporate on how the city contributes

to climate change and how one can make it more adaptive

Kshitij Urs

mdash country head Greenpeace India

Yes the region needs to develop However it certainly cannot happen at the cost of already

fragile ecosystems which also provide food and water security to peninsular India Our blind

pursuit of development has allowed massive encroachments of forest land which can lead

e-Paper | Sunday Chronicle

only to more oods and more water scarcity Forest deparment ocials of the respective

states should be held accountable for these encroachments

The mismanagement of watershed and catchment areas as well as the lack of accountability

amongst our decision makers are the prime causes of the oods in these regions

Irresponsible large-scale land cover changes in ecologically sensitive river basins combined

with unplanned development activities Linear road projects road widening railway lines

river diversion projects in the name of drinking water schemes have succeeded in fooling the

judiciary managed to bypass environment protocol and social impact assessments have

invited natures wrath

The implantation of unscientic consultant-driven projects with a nexus of corrupt

bureaucrats engineers and contractors all united by the sole aim of looting our natural

resources have impeded natures ow and left us with deadly consequences

Bengaluru if witnesses the rain what Kodagu is facing we will be in worse state since

canals are in a bad shape Due to vast projects top soil is eroded and SWDs are

encroached Unless people realise the importance of SWD and lakes as ood

mitigation area the situation will be precarious

Ram Prasad mdash Convener and co-founder of Friends of Lakes

Temporal Rainfall data analyses highlights a seven to eight year cycle of above average

rainfall followed by a seven year cycle of below average rainfall Times of high rainfall when

oods are likely can be mitigated by the integrated ecologically sensible management of the

precious catchments Narrowing and concretising natural drains will only enhance the

instances of oods as drains lose their natural hydrological functions including inltration

groundwater recharge and remediation The federal government must intervene identify

ecologically sensitive regions in the country and ensure that they are protecte from the

clutches of this maa The nation will develop better with a healthy ecosystem

URBAN FLOODING

We also concluded in our study that the frequent ooding in Bengaluru is the result of an

increase in impervious area combined with high-density urban development in catchments

e-Paper | Sunday Chronicle

and the loss of wetlands and vegetation The increment in the paved surface will be a

whopping 94 by 2020 along with the resultant reduction in wetlands vegetation and

pervious area Urban ooding creates huge economic losses and there have been instances

when even eight cm to 10 cm of rainfall in a short span have resulted in ooding The low

lying areas can be ooded in 30 minutes with 30 mm of rainfall all due to unplanned and

intense urbanisationAccording to CDP 2005 2015 buer zones should be declared as No

Development Zones the time has also come to decongest the city Encroachment of lakes

and Storm Water Drains (SWD) leads to the depletion in groundwater which further increases

the chance of ooding Moreover the encroachment of water bodies has led to a loss of

interconnectivity in the lakes

Koramangala Floods in 2017

During a eld visit made with the ocials of the Karnataka Lake Conservation and

Development Authority (KLCDA) we found that the storm water drain connecting Bellandur

lake with City Market had been narrowed down to 285 m from its orignal width of 60 m

This was in complete violation of NGT guidelines The concretisation and narrowing of drains

only worsened the impact of the ood in Koramangala last year This also aected the

hydrological functional ability of the storm Moreover with concretisation of drains the

velocity of water in the drain increases and there is a chance of us losing the city if things are

not brought to control One of the major points to highlight is that the continuous ooding of

low-lying areas has a catalyzing eect should solid waste and building debris accumulate in

the drains

and the loss of wetlands and vegetation The increment in the paved surface will be a

whopping 94 by 2020 along with the resultant reduction in wetlands vegetation and

pervious area Urban ooding creates huge economic losses and there have been instances

when even eight cm to 10 cm of rainfall in a short span have resulted in ooding The low

lying areas can be ooded in 30 minutes with 30 mm of rainfall all due to unplanned and

intense urbanisationAccording to CDP 2005 2015 buer zones should be declared as No

Development Zones the time has also come to decongest the city Encroachment of lakes

and Storm Water Drains (SWD) leads to the depletion in groundwater which further increases

the chance of ooding Moreover the encroachment of water bodies has led to a loss of

interconnectivity in the lakes

Koramangala Floods in 2017

During a eld visit made with the ocials of the Karnataka Lake Conservation and

Development Authority (KLCDA) we found that the storm water drain connecting Bellandur

lake with City Market had been narrowed down to 285 m from its orignal width of 60 m

This was in complete violation of NGT guidelines The concretisation and narrowing of drains

only worsened the impact of the ood in Koramangala last year This also aected the

hydrological functional ability of the storm Moreover with concretisation of drains the

velocity of water in the drain increases and there is a chance of us losing the city if things are

not brought to control One of the major points to highlight is that the continuous ooding of

low-lying areas has a catalyzing eect should solid waste and building debris accumulate in

the drains
