6 Key issues Comprehensive planning on State and City level Mechanism to eradicate domestic pollution caused by cities and towns Un served areas in large scale metropolis as source of pollution Understanding ecology in river development context

7 River Conservation -a multi-layer layer and multi-stakeholder task- (e) Ecological sustainability (d) Transport & Recreation (c) Flood Management (b) Waste Water Management (a) Storm Water Management Ste ering & D Decision making

8 European Water Framework Directive Pi Prime objectives: to ensure protection of all waters, with the objective of good quality to cover all impacts on water, regardless of their origin, and to provide a single coherent management frame to ensure mandatory public participati on to use economic instruments in support of environmental objectives to provide a sound longterm basis for political, technical and financial decisions at all levels. l

9 Design of a functional body States must appoint a competent Authority to coordinate the implementation of the Directive within it. One competent authority may act as a co ordinating body for other competent tauthorities, in which case some form of river basin committee might be envisaged to act as a focus for management of the basin. The competent authority is responsible for producing the River Basin Management Plan (or Masterplan) for that basin.

10 Design of a functional body Decision making level -managing directors- Sanctioning level -ministers- i Administration Magdeburg Council Minister-conference of river Elbe (10 countries) Administrative director Water Quality Office Hamburg Working level -Coordination- Coordinating council (representatives from 10 countries) Working level -Expert Groups- Advisory Body Regional coordination -Cooperating zones- Local coordination -Cooperating zones-

11 Example 1: Sanitation - from centralized to combined solutions-

13 Innovative solution for sewer free wastewater treatment concept 13 (Source: Dr. Kim Augustin Hamburg Water Cycle)

14 Example 2: Riverfront Development - from engineering design to eco-restoration restoration-

15 Adyar Poonga Eco-restoration project Chennai

16 Riverfront Development -ideas for transformation-

17 Riverfront Development -ideas for transformation-

18 Considerations A B Formation of competent authorities on State or River Basin level Provide access or link the mentioned authorities to funding schemes/missions from various Central government ministries C D Provide Capacity Building for States and ULBs on aspects related to river conservation Consider Ecological Restoration as primeissue issue for River Conservation and Urban Planning
