BBMP s Chennai connect to improve Ulsoor lake

BBMP has deployed a oxygen levels As part of its experiment, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has deployed a small machine, called water displacer, with the hope to increase dissolved oxygen (DO) levels at Ulsoor lake. The technology which was dispatched from Chennai is expected to reduce the growth of algae and improve the aquatic life in the 120-acre lake. On Monday, the container-type machine was lowered into the water body, which was once known for dead fish and foul smell, due to the heavy inflow of domestic sewage and even industrial effluents. “This technology is different from the aerators that we have used in some lakes. The water displacer helps in bringing the deep water to the surface and vice-versa. This helps in improving the oxygen levels,” a senior BBMP official said.

In India, the rich cause seven times more emissions than the poor Pro-poor development measures will not hurt the environment as much as policies to make the wealthy richer, says a new study. Representational image. | Roberto Schmidt / AFP The top 20% of high-expenditure households in India are responsible for seven times the emissions traceable to the poor who spend less than $1.9 (Rs 140) a day, says a recent study by the Japan-based Research Institute for Humanity and Nature. The mean carbon footprint of every Indian was estimated at 0.56 tonne per year – 0.19 tonne per capita among the poor and 1.32 tonne among the rich.

Kashmir bid to stop urban flooding claims wetland casualty

Thomson Reuters Foundation People wade through a flooded street after incessant rains in Srinagar Apr 7, 2017. Reuters A flood management plan, drawn up to protect the capital of Indian-administered Kashmir after record rainfall in 2014 caused widespread damage and about 150 deaths, is drying out an internationally protected wetland near Srinagar, officials say. ); } The two-stage plan, started in 2018, includes dredging and deepening an existing drainage channel that diverts water from the River Jhelum around the city, through the Hokera wetland and back into the river in Baramullah district to prevent flooding. The flood spill channel in Hokera has now been excavated down to an average of 15 feet in the first phase of the plan, and is expected to help ward off minor flood threats.
