Overview of Water in Pune
- Scope (e.g. rivers and streams flowing through Pune, groundwater, lakes in vicinity)
- Policy and legislative framework
- Key drivers or factors influencing Water (e.g. population and per capita consumption growth, amount of untreated or uncollected sewage and garbage, tapping of groundwater for home and commercial uses, industrial effluents, extent of rain water harvesting)
Status, Trends and Projections
(as per indicators and data sets we've chosen - see below)
Key Issues and Concerns
- (should focus on end issues not on data issues. Examples – Ground water levels and quality continuing to erode, Toxicity in rivers reaching levels that will affect animal and human health, Natural aquifer systems being dismantled and degraded due to construction, etc)
- GW not covered
- Multiple agencies
- Data related issues
Recommendations
- Water, waste water, ecosystems and hygiene related
- PMC functioning and organization related
- Data collection systems related
- Local policy related
Water Indicators and Data-sets
- Water quality on surface streams (whatever the std indicators are of BOD, COD, turbidity, acidity etc)
- Water quality of aquifers (as above)
- Ecological flows and critical stocks maintained?
- Reduction of waste water flows - % houses / units sewer connected; % sewers/ qty reaching waste water treatment plants
- Wastewater treatment
- Annual withdrawals of ground and surface water
- Surface and Aquifer flow quantities before and after city
- Net water consumption
- Energy consumption in water provision and waste water treatment (both in municipal pumping as well as household level pumping from sumps and bore wells if data can be gathered or estimated)
