Integrated
Development of Hebbal, Madivala and Doddabommasandra Lakes |

Implementing
Agency: Forest
Department, Bangalore Urban Division |

The
project was taken up to evolve and address techno
solutions to lakes’ restoration. People’s participation
and policy influence were essentials. Systematic
resolution of tasks varying from de-watering,
de-silting, preparing lined sewage diversion canals and
improving O2 levels in the sewage mixed water
called for a synergic approach bringing in affordable
water treatment facilities along with interventions such
as wetlands, islands, etc. The public contribution was
sought through entrance fees to lakeside parks and
entertainment facilities so as to enable recurrent
operational costs.
Today we have competition to bid and take over
maintenance of these lakes by groups having a vision for
commercial exploitation. The Lake Development Authority
and the Department of Environment now views future
maintenance in an assured manner. What better example
can we have of sustaining aquatic and local
bio-diversity in urban areas?
