The document outlines challenges facing Bangalore lakes due to rapid urbanization, including encroachment, increased pollution from waste and sewage, and deterioration of the lakes. It discusses responses by stakeholders like the judiciary, government, NGOs and communities. The Justice Patil Committee action plan allocates responsibilities to different agencies and includes activities like removing encroachments, stopping untreated wastewater flows, and surveying and monitoring lakes. The document argues a strategic, coordinated approach is needed across the lake catchment areas that addresses issues through a watershed approach, modern tools, and innovative technologies while ensuring community involvement and financing. It presents developing a strategic action plan through stakeholder workshops as a way forward.

- 1. Strategic Action Planning for Revival of Bangalore Lakes Prasad Modak
- 2. Bangalore Lakes: Progression of Issues 2 Encroachment s Change in Landuse Interconnectin g channels Poor maintenance Interception and impairment Increased Pollution Disposal of SW Disposal of untreated Sewage Industrial Effluents Immersion of Idols Non-point sources Recreatio n and other in- situ uses Rapid Urbanization Increased requirements of land, water & Infrastructure Increased Waste, Runoff Loss of forest cover Decrease in Env. flows Silting Deterioration of Lakes Pressure on Groundwater
- 3. Impacts on Lakes 3 Drying of lakes GW Depletion and Degradation Change in Lake morphology Decrease in Env. flows Decreased water availability Decreased Biodiversity Risks to Water Security Effect on Micro- climate Impact on Avian Fauna Impacts: Short term? Long term? Reversible? Irreversible? Risks to Water Security, Additionally of Climate Change?

- 7. Justice Patil Committee: Action Plan 7 Allocation of Lakes to BBMP, BDA, LDA, KFD for – Installation of fence and laying of embankments Identification of unauthorized construction within the areas of the lakes and the removal thereof Removal of silt and weeds Stoppage of flow of untreated wastewater into lakes Additional activities Survey of the lakes (Revenue Dept.) Water Quality monitoring (KSPCB) Management of sewage in the entire BBMP area (BWSSB) Management of storm water (BBMP) Aforestation (Forests department)
- 8. What is needed? A strategic, coordinated and sustained scientific approach is necessary Basin/ Watershed approach is required with lake prioritization Lake degradation related issues need to be studied in depth Use of modern tools: Math modeling, Remote sensing, Bio-monitoring Innovative technologies for in-situ treatment in channels, in-situ remediation in lakes need to be explored New models for “conservation finance”, institutional roles and partnerships 8
