1.Introduction

Climate of Pune

1.1Pune City and its Development

M e a n m o n t h l y Temperature Max. - 38.1 c (April) Min. - 11.4c(Jan)

The city of Pune was once known as the pensioners paradise because of its pleasant climate , abundant natural resources, its vicinity from Mumbai and its cultural heritage.

Relative humidity Max - 86% (Aug) Min - 21%(March)

The city has various areas that are rich in bio-diversity. These areas not only act as the lungs of the city but also provide a haven for a large number of floral and faunal species. These areas can be categorized as

Annual total rainfall 722mm Mean monthly annual rainfall Max - 187 mm(July)

a. Natural resources - the water bodies and hills b. Manmade resources - the manmade lakes, parks However there has been habitat loss and habitat change due to which there has been a decline in the number of animal and plant life.

The accelerated growth of the city in the last few decades has had a major impact on these natural resources.

Population -From 3 million people to 7 million people Land-From an area of 243 Sq.Km. to 450 Sq.Km. Water-From supply of 790 MLD, to 2000 MLD. Energy-From supply of 650 MW, to 1200 MW. Solid Waste-From generation of 1300 MT, to 3500 MT. Pollution Lvls -Air pollution estimated at 181.96 tonns /dayto 313 tons/day

Mean monthly wind speed Max - 10.2kmph (June) Min - 2.3 kmph(Dec)

(Fig 2 - Growth trends of Pune) PCMC

! Most of the development has been happening with out giving thought to the conservation

of the natural resources.

Mula river

!Thus the impact of this development is seen directly on the various natural resources which

are fast deteriorating. !The classic examples are the rivers that have been converted into nothing but dumping

yards. Ironically the city was established at this particular location due to the presence of the rivers Mutha

!However, the rivers are not isolated water bodies but form a part of a larger water system

which include the various lakes, ponds, streams and their catchments.

!If the further development of the

city is not done taking into consideration the natural resources, then it can lead to a situation where it will be difficult for the city to sustain itself.

1.River 2.Tributaries 3.Lakes 4.Water shed

The lake that was once a part of a larger open space and habitat to numerous species - aqua and avi fauna lies in a state of neglect as almost all the development taking place has its back to the lake thereby serving as a garbage dumping ground.

Rapid silting is also one of the major problem faced by the lake.

!Hence the conservation of these

water bodies and their catchments is of utmost importance as they also form the habitat for various avi and aqua fauna, affect the micro climate, directly affecting the larger water system

(Fig 5 - Catchment of Pashan lake)

The Pashan lake receives water from a larger area that comprises the surrounding hills and also the over flow from the Manas lake.

Pune

Thus any change in this catchment area directly affects the lake, and as stated earlier, the rapid urbanization in this region without proper understanding of the hydrological flows, will soon lead to the rapid degradation , shrinking and probable death of the lake.

This study intends to understand the past and the existing condition of the lake, the various factors affecting it, its importance in terms of its physicality, its ecological, social and economic values and arrive at mitigation measures to revitalize the lake and its surroundings.

2. Aim

3. Existing conditions

To revitalize Pashan Lake precinct in terms of its ecological, social and visual values.

To provide a comprehensive approach to revive and integrate the degenerating lake precinct into the urban fabric.

3.1 Water quality

Mula river

!The new development happening along the lake edge has its back towards the lake.

Objectives

!Dumping of garbage takes place along the lake edge.The city sewage line passes along the lake edge.

!To revitalize the lake by providing mitigation measures for the up

!Activities like brick kilns are placed next to the water course.

gradation of catchment area and inflow channels, introducing measures for de-silting and reducing the garbage and effluent flow in the lake. !To connect the expanse of openness of and around the lake to

achieve a homogeneous spatial organization. !To provide habitat for aqua as well as avi fauna. !To guide and propagate ecologically compatible activities along the

periphery of the lake with the lake as a magnet to attract people.

Concerns and Issues

Further deterioration in the water quality

!Development of slums with a lack of basic amenities leading to the abuse of the lake edge, where the people use the lake for daily activities like washing clothes. !Removal of vegetation in the catchment area has lead to heavy siltation of the lake and growth the of water hyacinth. !All this has led to the deterioration of the water quality and by the time the lake water reaches the river it is highly polluted.

Pashan lake

!The new development along the upstream is taking place without considering the water stream and hence the inflow of water is completely disturbed.

Degeneration of the lake is rapidly taking place due to the following reasons: More development leading to the deterioration of the water quality

!Rapid urbanization of the catchment area without understanding of

the hydrological flows !All the buildings with their backs to the lake !Dumping of garbage and effluent in the lake !Development of slums on the North-West side of the lake !Reduction of visual accessibility of the lake from its surroundings

due to new development

Manas lake

Comparatively less development in the earlier stage of the Pashan lake catchment and hence good water quality

3.2 Inflow and Outflow The lake receives water from three main inflow channels.It has two major outflow channels, one of which is blocked by an earthen bund.

Water body

Littoral zone

Upland

(Fig 8- Littoral zone)

The Littoral zone is a highly sensitive ecological belt found in transition between land to water body. Apart from its scenic value it performs important functions like preventing soil erosion, recharging water, breeding living creatures like insects, birds etc.

The new development is edging the water courses hence, a very important aspect of the lake catchment - the littoral zone, along the inflow and out flow channels and the lake has been damaged causing deterioration of the water quality, heavy siltation etc.

3.3 Flora !The vegetation of Pune region region comes under the Dry deciduous forest type.

However the Pashan region is moister, with taller (10-15 m) forests and scrub. !Studies in Pune city indicate the introduction of numerous exotic species in the region while

certain native species have disappeared due to extensive human intervention.

The vegetation in the Pashan lake region is a combination of the native species and those indroduced during an afforestation program by the Government.

8.4. Edges

8.1Planning Policies

The lake and water channel edges are treated with dry stone pitching wherever required, along with vegetation to hold the edges in place.

Slum rehabilitation programs to be put into practice. Provision of basic amenities for the surrounding slum areas.

This will also allow the movement of water through the lake edges.

Amalgamation of Government land surrounding the lake. Theme park proposed as an extension to the crematoriums.

Water Body

8.2Vegetation around the Lake Precinct Paved areas

Littoral zone provided along the water channels and lake edge holds the soil and reduces erosion, pollution etc.

Plantations

Native vegetation planted on the island as Existing Bund well as the pocket next to the lake (devoid of Road human intervention) - a biodiversity reserve and safe habitat for fauna.

Bund

Native plantation around the lake edge

The silt used to create an island in Fountainf for aeration the lake which forms a habitat for the avi and aqua fauna

Design Element 1. Jogging track along nalla and lake edge 2. Service lane for NH4 (Shopping street) 3. Mass plantation 4. Smruti Ban 5. Temple Precinct : Ghat 7. Restaurant + Nursery : Amphitheater 8. Island 9. Musical fountain 10. Street furniture

8.3 .Water Quality and Silt Management De-silting of the lake to be done .

The silt used to create an island in the lake which forms a habitat for the avi and aqua fauna (devoid of human intervention) and also reduces the transportation effort and cost.

Pre-dams to be constructed to reduce the velocity of the water entering the lake.

Revitalization of Pashan Lake

Littoral zone provided along the edge where ever possible

9. Conceptual Proposal

The DRDO property re vegetated with native species replacing the existing mass plantations of Acacia and Eucalyptus which are harmful to the ecosystem. Biodiversity of the area thus conserved.

Mass plantation done along the highway acts as a sound, air and water pollution barrier

W a l k w a y s w i t h Dry pitching to hold d e s i g n e d s t r e e t the soil and allow the furniture along the movement of water edge

This will reduce the amount of silt accumulation in the lake improving the water quality.

Further reduction in the the cost of de-silting of the lake every year (as only the desilting of the pre dams areas will be required).

Fountains put up for areation of the water also act as a magnet to attract people to the lake.

Signage and Street Furniture: Street furniture and signage always help people to use the public place in a proper and anticipated manner. Apart from their basic function these also add aesthetical value to the place and help the environment to become more vibrant. Aspects that need to be looked intoare: Signage a. Suggestive and directional in nature. b. Listing and segregation of informative and revenue generating signage. c. Spaces and facades designed exclusively for revenue generation through advertisements. d. Digital screens placement for information distribution. e. Guidelines required for signage especially the commercial ones to prevent confusion and over dominance.

Street Furniture a. Design should be simple to use, hazard free, with less mobility. b. Street furniture should be aesthetically pleasing. c. They should be strategically placed. d. They must add essence to public places. e. Economical, efficient and of multi-use. f. Should require minimum maintenance and surveillance.

Street lamps, benches, tree guards, dust bins, rain shelters, kiosks, display pavilions, telephone booths, paper reading stands, etc. are few types of street furniture that can be used on the edge of the lake.
