matter and energy get transformed there
is a learning of energy optimization and
material after my optimization
the second is remediation and the third
is sustainability these principles we
have deployed in the technology and we
have been successful nothing for
understanding of any is one you need to
understand the process so that’s what we
try to do it in the Bangalore Bangalore
is undergoing a rapid urbanization we
all know the we have planned
intervention as well as unplanned
internship in fact the unplanned
information is a serious thing you look
at the unplanned iteration there’s loss
of green cover the wet lines then the
increased pollutant in the air and the
health issues etc so now let us try to
understand how did we analyze this way
today we have the remote sensing data
which is available for the last four
decades and that is a 21 days interval
that means what changes are happening in
the system one can visualize and we also
developed the innovative modeling
strategy that is fuzzy based
hierarchical cellular automata for the
first time we have shown the how this
could be deployed now when you look at
Bangalore the city which was a Garden
City in 1800 the temperature of the city
was 14 to 16 degrees Celsius in May
month and in December it was 0 degree
Celsius and today the same city is the
city of garbage and also has becoming
dead city with the temperature of 34 to
38 degrees they now let’s look at the
how the urbanization has happened the 68
percent green cover in 1973 it’s about
2,000 in 2016 we have 76% the built-up
area and if I visualize this 1973 is a
Garden City then in 92 you see that
there is a the industrialization in Pina
and Koramangala with this the growth
starts happening then 2000 we have ITB
tea at the outskirts then 2006 then 2009
intensification
happening 2017 say 78 percent is
concretize now we try to understand if
this process continues how the Bangalow
would be in 2020 so we divided the
region into one kilometer concentric
circle and in each circle we try to
understand the the urbanization process
with the behavior of the agent the fuzzy
behavior of the agent that’s what we try
to do here so you see that we know that
what are the agents of change and what
is the rate of change now if this
process continued in 2020 ninety-three
percent of our landscape will be with
the concrete in by any means this is not
acceptable so that’s where when you look
I wrote an editorial in current science
highlighting that the my statements on
dead City etc that’s why I wrote your
article also saying enough is enough we
need to plant
let us decongest Bangalow say by any
means if you look at any region in the
for decade if there is a thousand twenty
eight percent increase in concrete area
and 88 percent loss in vegetation and 79
percent lhasa water bodies is not
acceptable you know why it is not
acceptable will not have enough oxygen
and you know the watch of the ground the
bank Orion depends on groundwater to an
extent of 45 percent ground water table
is dipping in the city the city is going
to die because of the water and oxygen
now let’s look at how many trees are
there in Bangalore again using remote
sensing data you can analyze that so
this is my campus India straw science
campus is about 400 acres I have 22,000
trees which was done using the GPS the
mapping was done and extrapolating that
for the entire Bangalow shows that I
have 14 like 78,000 3s in the city of
the population of 95 like that me for
every seven percent there is one tree
how many trees are required per person
seven to eight trees purpose and because
we all give out co2 to an extent of 540
to the 900 grams per day to take this
co2 the plants help which sequester the
carbon to an extent of 6 to 8 tons per
year
so that by that way sure we need to have
seven to eight trees per person so now
that’s where there are moves in the city
to green the Bangalore now let’s look at
the topic of the chilli the lakes of
Bangalore I would say that lakes are
polluted abused and the rainwater
harvesting in the city is suboptimal
there is no concept of reuse and recycle
of what you sewage diversion River
diversion has become the order of the
day I will call them as a fools idea and
not of sensible citizens now this is how
the lakes are being abused solid waste
is dumped in the lake bed and
encroachment is happening and about 500
million litres of untreated sewage comes
to the lake every day and those who are
in the apartment they are also letting
untreated sewage and those who are away
sending the switch through the tankers
without any treatment consequence of
that the lake which was like this in 90s
today it is covered with a macro fire
because of the enrichment of nutrients
in the lake now what will happen see
when there is a cover of macro fight it
doesn’t allow the sunlight to penetrate
in the absence of sunlight the entire
food chain collapses you lose them all
gate since alga is not there fish
doesn’t grow in the system so that’s why
we try to value the ecosystem goods and
services to try the message why we need
the links say when I did that valuation
of the ecosystem goods and services so I
found that the value of the pristine
ecosystem the lake which is not polluted
the value is about ten thousand five
hundred rupees per hectare per day
compared to the lake which is polluted
which is about twenty rupees per day per
hectare the message here is if you
pollute the lake we don’t get fish
fodder etc now this is the sign of the
lakes in a bangle bangle has become
famous for the frothing legs and the
fire wherever I go people inquire about
the the city of protein links so now see
what is the measure see when the froth
was coming to the road the bureaucracy
puts the mesh these are all ad hoc
reaction approach what we should have
done is they look at
the problem at the source this indicator
the problem is because of the untreated
sewage and the fire in the lake
highlights there is a problem of
untreated industrial effluent getting
into the system now what is the
consequence of that see when the lake is
polluted the heavy metal there is a
biomagnification it’s getting to our
food chain see one unit of heavy metal
in the water when it gets in the 1
million units it gets by accumulated in
the fish we are heating the fish
similarly the the vegetables that are
grown in the downstream of the lake also
found to have higher amount of the heavy
metal like cadmium copper zinc etc this
all is going to trouble the humans
that’s where we see the problem of
kidney failure in the city the city
where the kidney failure was one in one
leg earlier today it’s one in 5,000 you
know the young children losing both
kidneys is very sad status to see ok now
what is the solution I would say we have
a cost-effective sustainable solution
which is working in a place called jet
code that is because of our intervention
what we did is we took advantage of the
nature’s bioremediation principle we
integrated constructed wetland and algal
pond now when you look at this sea you
have a secondary treatment plant
integrated with constructed wetland and
algal punt by the time when it passes
through this the sewage gets treated the
nutrient is removed to an extent of 85
to 90 percent and these lake the watcher
when it resides for four to five days
you know the disinfection also happens
the water is potable in 2005 we have
studied the the wells in the vicinity of
the lake we had found higher amount of
nitrate today last 7 years when we
monitored these wells there are no
nitrate nitrate is a car situation which
introduces a cancer in the system at
least I can say that because of our
technology 300 plus Wells dependent
families are having the water without
any carcinogen this is a low cost
technology this has to be replicated
throughout the country you know why the
fraud happens fraud is because of the
phosphates in the detergent I have been
right into the government has given the
scientific report saying that why we
need to ban the phosphate based
detergent you know the countries like US
Canada because of the similar incidence
of frothing they banned the phosphate
based detergent they look for the
alternative like zeolite etc in our
country Amana is frothing Bangalow Bell
on door water and many lakes of frothy
the bureaucracy and decision makers have
not waken up I’m hoping that they will
wake up and do something for the
Banglore Ian’s and Indians in general so
now when you look at this the quantum of
the the nutrient that is removed it’s
about 85 to 90 percent so now let’s look
at the another option meeting the
requirement of the water when I look at
the city received 750 to 850 millimetre
of rainfall with the changes in climate
the quantum of rainfall is increasing
lost to the last two weeks the Bangalore
has received three TMC of water which
has gone to the worship the water that
falls in Bangalore we are sending it to
the ocean at the same time bureaucracy
thinks of diverting the rivers from
Western Ghats and from done that to the
Bangalore these are all illogical
irresponsible actions from the
bureaucracy when you look at the quantum
of water that is available in bangla
because of the rain it is 15 TMC and we
require 18 to 20 TMC of water fall our
the requirement that means 70% of the
water you can meet because of the
rainwater harvesting to do the rainwater
harvesting there are two approaches one
is the route of harvesting individual
houses when they do it they will get
additional three to four months of water
the next option is to rejuvenate the
lake and retain this in whatever we need
to do this on priority so and our
topography he is the interconnected lake
system the city in 1800 had thousand for
Beauty to water body today I have 193
water bodies there is a decline of
number of water body I tell you that
still the situation is not very bad in
each word we have one the lake 193 lakes
198 word that is where I need to restore
these Lakes and retain the water so now
this
Lakes in batter 193 lakes in Bangalore
they retain the watcher through thee the
lakes and also treat the sewage now 15
TMC you have because of the rainwater
harvesting and also if you treat the
sewage you get another 16 TMC 18 to 20
TMC of water we are consuming if I treat
that I have 16 TMC 15 T and Z plus 16
TMC is 31 TMC which is that you know we
have a surplus situation for this to
happen we need to have the sensible the
the humans that is where my fire mala is
to have responsible citizen if the
people are responsible will do the
rainwater harvesting will rejuvenate the
lakes will retain the water and reuse
and recycle the water that has to happen
this is the kind of the wetland we need
to have in the city now if you do the
similar thing throughout Karnataka that
Karnataka is a land of Li the minor
irrigation was there forty thousand
lakes were there if we rejuvenated we do
not need the large-scale project like
River diversion etc they are not going
to work if you want to see go to the
Telugu kanga Tamil Nadu the Chennai city
face the water crisis in spite of the
water diversion we spend so many crores
of rupees did we ask about the failure
we didn’t do that if you want to know
the implication of the the river
diversion
go to Gujarat downstream people you talk
to them the salinity and loss of
productivity they will talk about it and
the solutions are simple look at this
this is a quota tiffin go karna there is
a new duty and enrichment we just
introduced the fish there and also we
made the people to pay you know when
they paid we used to have the earning of
25,000 per month you know that is to be
given to the NGO who used to manage the
thing that 25,000 comes from the
devotees who do the ritual and leave
these rice balls in the water because of
that pollution used to happen now for
the last two years the water body looks
like this now the option is mini forest
see there are many people have come
forward I just run through this this
Madhavi three where we have been
successful in implementing the the mini
forest with the lake then this is in
almost college this is in my campus in
2008 I got the water body in place and
from that year 10 lakh liter of water
restored rain what I stored there and I
have this animal in the campus this is
an otter you know it’s just the
ecological balance for that to be there
you need to have the fridge I have seen
that we have all gay we have fish and
also we have bird that’s a complete
ecosystem is play you create the habitat
ecosystem comes there and tries there
now many forests in each one this is the
forest we have created in the campus now
in this this is my department in front
of this you get the feel of the
rainforest now this is about 49 species
from Western God find it sapling we
planted into hectare that region was
dominated by parthenium you know the
groundwater table at that time was 150
feet in 1990 today I have the water at
10 to 15 feet in Bangalore where we talk
about water scarcity we have to go four
thousand two thousand four hundred feet
I have also a model of tent of it in
Tweed I am pushing the government to
have mini forests of two hectares in
each ward in the city to sustain the
watcher so this is a glimpse of the
thing and you can see that I also have
four families of slender lorries in the
this one okay this gives the result and
when you have you can interact you can
talk as academician we need this kind of
an moment and also we need the
sensitized do the capacity-building too
since it’s a sensitizing the youth we
have the lake symposium pioneer
symposium once into year the uniqueness
is for the children to take part the
children’s do the simple experiment of
catchment mapping water quality etc they
come to my lab we trained them then they
come to the conference the finalists we
give them the award like in ecologists I
had Recology
similar thing we do it for the
neighborhood mapping in the the biota
see rich district you know by audacity
Act was implemented in 2002 till today
government was not
Faline documenting biodiversity when we
applied the youth power in a one year I
got 300 villages information about
biodiversity this is the beauty of the
India this is the youth power that is
what we need to harness so this is how
we train the kids and now my group is
working on the energy also the one is
biofuel from algae the other one is
solar potential when we mapped it now it
has become a mega program in the country
we have I didn’t heard which other
places have the higher potential of
solar energy so and also we do the
capacity building of the the people
working in industry this is a 15 session
I have been organizing from 90 from 2003
onwards those who want to know more
about they can explore this website you
get the details of a diversity at this
website and free and open source
software you can get it here and my
group research here so this is my group
webpage when you go to the research
paper section you will get all my
publications ranging from energy to the
remote sensing and the next in one place
so thank you very much
[Applause]
