EVOLUTION OF BANGLORE CITY IN TERMS OF
BUILT UP AREA FROM 1937 TO 2014
TOPOGRAPHY OF BANGALORE IS GENERALLY FLAT
 The City took shape as a fortified settlement
under the ruler Kempe Gowda of the Vijayanagar
state when he established the mud fort in year
1537.
 The city has grown rapidly in the past few decades
from pensioner’s paradise to the information
technology capital of India.

TIMELINE
BANGLORE IN 1850
 In 1537 CE, Kempe Gowda — a feudatory ruler under the
Vijayanagar Empire established a mud fort considered to
be the foundation of modern Bangalore.
 Within the fort, the town was divided into smaller
divisions, each called a "Pete“.
 The town had two main streets—Chikkapete
Street, which ran east-west, and Doddapete
Street, which ran north-south.
 Their intersection formed the Doddapeté
Square—the heart of Bangalore.

PROPOSED PUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORK MAP
 The circulation network has identified radial
and ring roads to create more opportunities
for mobility within the metropolitan area and
the larger region.
 The proposed circulation network will have
about 800 Kms (including existing 375 kms)
of Primary Arterial which has 26 radials and
5 rings.
 The primary circulation network embraces
completely new ring road (Inner Peripheral
Ring Road) apart from the completion of the
Intermediate Ring Road and the Peripheral
Ring Road.
 RMP 2031 has proposed 36 intermodal
interchange stations intersections of two or
more public transit corridors.
 In order to restrict the freight movement
inside the city, eight logistic hubs of 100
acres each is proposed at the periphery of
major highways.
 Logistic Hubs are proposed on Bannerughatta
Road, Tumkuru Road (outside BMA), Mysore
Road, Mallur Road, Bellary Road, Old Madras
Road, Hosur Road and Sarjapura Road.

12. DRINKING WATER SOURCE FOR CITY
• BWSSB currently supplies approximately 900 million liters (238 million gallons) of water to the city per day, despite a municipal demand of 1.3 billion liters.
• Water for the city (with a population of 10 million) comes from a number of sources, with 80% of it coming from the Cauvery River.
• Water is also drawn from the Arkavathy River, but the supply does not meet the demand
• The majority of the water for Bangalore is imported by the BWSSB from the Cauvery River, over 100 kilometers (62 mi) south of the city
• Up to 20% of the normal water supply for Bangalore comes from the Arkavathy River, from two reservoirs built on the river, the Hesaraghatta (or Hesseraggatta)
which was built in 1894 and the Tippagondanahalli Reservoir (or T G Halli), which was built in 1933

13. GROUND WATER SOURCE FOR THE CITY
• Ground water tables tend to be rising in central parts of Bangalore, where pipes
are laid.
• This is said to be due to leakages.
• Recharge from leakages has been large enough that even the shallow aquifers in
these parts of Bangalore are getting full (eg: Frazer town around Ulsoor lake).
• However this leakage is getting mixed with the leakage from the sewage pipes.
• So though the ground water levels are going up, the quality is not good.
• In outer areas of Bangalore, groundwater levels are going down

14. • An expert committee constituted by the government in
1958 examined four alternative water sources and
recommended Cauvery water source as the best suited
alternative for growing Bangalore.
• The other sources examined by the Committee were
Arkavathi, Hemavathi and Shimsha.
• The Government implemented the Cauvery Water Supply
Project in 1964.
• To implement this project the Bangalore Water Supply and
Sewerage Board (BWSSB) was established in September
1964.
HISTORY OF WATER SUPPLY FOR THE CITY

15. WATER DEMAND OF BANGALORE CITY
Bangalore’s water supply:
• Kaveri = 1350 MLD
• NRW (49.25%)= 664 MLD
• Human supply= 68 lpcd
• Rainfall= 20.77 TMC
Bangalore’s water demand:
• Total- human + vegetation
• Human (2011)= 1275 MLD
• Human (2017)= 1595 MLD
• Vegetation (2014)= 1752 MLD

16. BANGALORE CITY
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
• Bangalore’s daily power
demand is about 2300 MW
(Mega Watt).
• That is, 2300 MW of
power is transmitted
throughout the day to the
city on average (there are
sharp differences in peak
and non-peak hour
consumption though).
• Bangalore consumes about
one-third of the state’s
total power.
• Karnataka’s average
demand is 6000 MW per
day.
• Karnataka Power
Corporation Ltd (KPCL) is
the state agency that gets
power from different
generating stations.
• KPCL also buys power from
other states when
required.
• (KPTCL) is in charge of
transmitting power to
different ESCOMs,
including BESCOM.

17. BANGALORE CITY
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
Hydel power:
• The state has over 15 hydel power stations.
• BESCOM gets 12% of state’s hydel power for its entire
area which also includes Tumkur, Chitradurga,
Davanagere etc
Thermal power:
• Thermal power comes from coal, gas and diesel
stations.
• Unlike hydel power, thermal power is stable as long as
there is no shortage of coal/diesel.
Central Generating Stations (CGS):
• CGS are thermal/nuclear stations.
• The state in which the station is located, will get
majority of the power while neighbouring states will
get a smaller share.
• Karnataka gets about 1000 MW from CGS, on average.
Non Conventional Energy Projects (NCEPs):
• This power is produced not by government agencies,
but by Independent Power Producers (IPPs). NCE
sources mainly are wind, sun, biomass etc.
• For instance, in sugar and steel factories, while
production process goes on, power can be generated
simultaneously.
• The factories use part of this power for themselves,
and sell the excess to the state.
• Udupi Power Corporation Ltd (UPCL), a major IPP,
produces power from imported coal.
POWER SOURCES OF BANGALORE

18. • These are not problems which are
associated with increased load, but also
with the rain and wind there are issues
with snapped cables and other
problems.
• These issues will be sorted once all the
major transmission lines are
underground.
• We have already started taking some
of the power lines below the ground to
negate the effect of rain and wind or
tree feelings in general
BANGALORE CITY
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
• The major issues resulting
in power cuts in any area
are power shortage and
lack of proper network
infrastructure.

WASTE MANAGEMENT
Waste quantity expected in next 20 years
Urban waste composition
MSW waste collection process for residential/commercial areas
• At present, 10% of solid waste is
recycled in Bengaluru.
• Most of the literature reported that the
waste generation rate is 0.4–0.6
kg/capita/day.
• The proposed waste generation rate is
about 0.5 kg/capita/day in Bengaluru.
MSW collection system
• BBMP handles about 30%
of solid waste, and the
remaining waste activity is
outsourced (starting from
primary collection to
disposal).
• Solid waste collection is
carried out in two phases.
• The first phase is a
primary collection, in which
the solid waste is collected
on auto tipper and
pushcarts.

WASTE MANAGEMENT
Location of unauthorized dump sites in and around
Bangalore City
• The waste sites that were earlier in the periphery of
the corporation limits of. Bengaluru City are now in the
development zone of a more magnificent Bengaluru City
Unauthorized dumping along with wards in and around Bangalore City.
• These structures built on these dumpsites
can undergo distress due to the high
settlement and cause failures due to the
low strength of the dumped waste.
Major arterial and sub-arterial road network along
with dump sites in and around Bangalore City.

5 Bommanahalli Bingipura, Laxmipura
6 Mahadevapura Terrafirma
7 Dasarahalli MSGP
8 Raja Rajeshwari Nagar MSGP/Terrafirma
• These dumps
can also cause
groundwater
contamination
due to leaching
of waste by
the percolation
of rainwater.

WASTE MANAGEMENT
Major issues in transporting waste:
• Due to open beds in tractors and trucks, the waste spills
from the truck, during transport, thereby causing a nuisance.
• Loading of waste by manual without the use of the protective
gears is dangerous to the health of workers.
• The secondary storage system is not synchronized with the
transport system. Problems arise when a transport fleet is
modernized because waste at secondary storage system is
still dumped on the ground.
• Due to an inadequate number of vehicles, the area cannot be
serviced properly.
• Due to inadequate workshop facilities and maintenance
procedures, the vehicles are poorly maintained. This problem
leads to break down of trucks and become out of service for a
long time.
Reclamation of landfill:
• At present, Bengaluru can handle the municipal
solid waste of about 2100 TPD only.
• The existing capacity of a waste treatment
facility at Mavallipura is 600 TPD, Karnataka
Composting Development Corporation Ltd (KCDC)
is 300 TPD, and Terra Firma is about 1500 TPD.
• To achieve 100% processing of waste in
Bengaluru, Government has sanctioned six new
facilities.
• These new facilities are being set up at the
following locations: Kannahalli is 500 TPD,
Seegihalli is 200 TPD, Doddabidarakallu is 200
TPD, Lingaderenahalli is 200 TPD, Subrayanpalya
is 200 TPD, Chikkanagamangala is 500 TPD, KCDC
(upgradation) is 500 TPD.

• Bangalore has a radio-concentric system structured by
ring roads, five major radial roads and five secondary
radial roads that converge towards the center of the
city.
• The major and secondary radial roads that form a ten-
pointed star constitute the organizational system of
the city and are important as they support both
industrial and commercial development.
