Problem: Roads in India getting clogged everytime it rains. Proposed Idea for a Solution: Can the roads be built with super absorbent material and all the water gets seeped in the tanks underneath roads. This water gets cleaned and then added to the city's underground water reservoir. Makes sense? Let's discuss. Cheers RudrakshaHub

【Evaluation of Rainfall Tendency for the Twentieth Century over Indira Sagar Region in Central India】 Full article: https://lnkd.in/g5Vbnw6u (Authored by Rituraj Shukla, et al., from University of Guelph (Canada), etc.) Analyzing the trend of rainfall time series is crucial for designing hydraulic structures and managing local water resources efficiently. This study examines the long-term rainfall patterns at three stations located in the Indira Sagar Project region of Madhya Pradesh, India, and utilizes both #parametric (Student-t) and non-parametric (Mann-Kendall) methods to analyze the monotonic trends in annual and seasonal rainfall series spanning 110 years (1901-2010). #Precipitation #Trend_Analysis #Serial_Correlations

Reservoir storage update - India - April 2024 (Source Central Water Commission) While the news of "expected" above normal monsoons in India may bring some cheer - here is a snapshot of our current water storage levels (with over two months of summer yet to go) a) The overall water storage in major reservoirs and river basins in the country has dropped less than the average 10-year storage levels. b) Southern states are the worse off - with a storage level deficit of 30% below the decadal average. b) Designed capacity in the southern states ranks highest but has the lowest efficiency. To overcome the water stress, we require more than a higher-than-average monsoon; it starts with rejuvenation of the surface water and more importantly ground water management. Urban areas have a large part to play in this situation. Hyper localized rainwater harvesting (using underground tanks) is not the solution. Urban policies will need to include "rainwater harvesting AND ground water recharge" as mandatory and not either or. #groundwaterstorage #environmentalriskmanagement #sustainablecorporaterealestate

The city receives 700 to 850 mm of rainfall per year. That is an average of 15 TMC. Bengaluru requires about 18 TMC of water and rainwater alone provides 70 per cent of that requirement. #rainwater #bengaluru #waterconservation

Reality check. Grateful that we have #CWC showing this data. But there is still a lack of validated usable data sets for urban water planning. There is a real need for technical experts to host data sets impartially on the open source. A shift from cost efficient Rainwater storage only solutions to rainwater harvesting and ground water recharge is critical. Who benefits? a) Small and medium scale agriculture b) Homeowners and home buyers c) Organizations that want to have a sustainable CRE program b) Local Communities that are water stressed and need to build sustainable storage and recharge solutions. Here is a resource from Urban Waters to better help understand this topic. https://shorturl.at/fjl24

Now a days much thrust are being given to pumped storage power generation. This will definitely helpful in balancing grid for off peak power by thermal or Solar. But this may not provide water security and flood moderation. More than 65 percent runoff is from Brahputra and Ganga basin out of which only Tehri is made on Bhagirathi. Rest goes to sea as maximum rain fall occur during limited span of monsoon. Water harvesting may help to the extent of locally but not globally.

A noteworthy Low-Pressure System (LPS) is developing over the North Bay of Bengal, fueled by moisture from the northwest Pacific and the Bay of Bengal. It will likely produce significant thunderstorm activity and precipitation over northeast India during 3-4 days

:: Climate change is the Everest of all problems in cities - Embracing sponge cities can solve :: Sponge cities are urban areas designed with permeable surfaces and green infrastructure to absorb and store rainwater, reducing the risk of flooding. By increasing the presence of parks, trees, and natural drainage systems, cities can enhance their "absorbency" and resilience to floods. The key principles of a sponge city are: - Protect and restore the original urban ecosystem, including rivers, lakes, and vegetation, to enhance the city's natural water absorption and purification capacity. - Incorporate green infrastructure like parks, permeable pavements, rain gardens, and green roofs. This nature-based approach aims to reduce urban flooding, water shortages, and heat island effects by working with the natural water cycle instead of against it. Sponge cities work in harmony with nature to quickly soak up heavy rainfall, rather than solely relying on traditional grey infrastructure like pipes and pumps. Ground surfaces that mimic sponges can absorb rainwater, which is then naturally filtered by the soil and can recharge urban aquifers. Many cities are already embracing the concept of sponge cities. Implementing sponge city concepts remains a pivotal solution, requiring broader adoption and targeted interventions. #climatechange #sponge #extremeweather #floods #resilience #sustainability #esg
