Part A: TPS Mechanism for micro-watershed management

Source sustainability through Green Infrastructure by conjunctive use of rainwater and surface water, and through integration of Landuse with Infrastructure.

The project advocates shifting to micro-basin wise integrated approach, which is a technique to collect storm water in localized basins served by small watersheds and bridging the disconnect through appropriate planning exercise.


Report Content

Introduction to the studio. A study of the various components of infrastructure and its relation to the city, its physical and social realm.

Decoding water demand of Rajkot city. Per capita demand does not reflect the actual water demand leading to use of alternative sources of water. Therefore, a thorough analysis of the water demand was conducted by using variables like population, Build-up and Landuse.

Decoded water stress of the RUDA villages. In this analysis, various stress inducing parameters were used to derive the water stress levels of the surrounding villages within RUDA administrative boundary.
