A study on best practices of Water Supply infrastructures in 3 Indian cities and 2 International cities- towards the partial fulfillment of credits for the course CB1- Infrastructure and Transport Planning at the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi (November 2019)
Globally cities are on the move. They are always evolving, devolving, never static and never finite. Accordingly, cities are being viewed, reviewed , redefined and renamed periodically, based on the changing needs of communities; objectives defined and pattern of planning; shape and size of the city; preserving, protecting and promoting resources, environment and ecology; making cities people, gender and technology centric etc. Cities in the past have accordingly been named as; planned cities, garden cities, linear cities, industrial cities, regenerative cities , eco-friendly cities, sustainable cities, inclusive cities, child/women/elders friendly cities, resilient cities, smart cities etc. Considering the fact that cities are fast emerging as major consumers of energy and resources; generators of waste and responsible for generating large carbon footprints, future typologies of cities now include; carbon neutral cities; energy efficient cities; zero water ; zero waste cities etc. In addition, majority of cities are also fast becoming hotbeds of disasters, both manmade and natural, accordingly safe cities is emerging another typology for urban settlements to make them disaster free. Looking at the context of cities getting flooded periodically due to heavy rains, breach of water channels, rivers, dams etc., leading to enormous loss to humans, social fabric, resources, environment, ecology, economy etc., Sponge city is the terminology now being deployed for cities, to make them safe against floods.
In the parlance of planning, Sponge city is defined, ‘As an urban area; which has been planned, designed and constructed to effectively and efficiently manage and cope with the challenges posed by excessive water/storm water caused by heavy rainfall, high tides , swollen rivers or other manmade/ natural activities, using a variety of techniques. Sponge city, has also been defined as, ‘the city that is designed to retain, clean, and reuse stormwater. Basically, sponge city in its approach, intent, content, planning, designing , construction and management, has focus on water and its effective and efficient management, without adversely impacting the operation and function of the city, which is subjected to challenge posed by excessive water. Sponge city model promotes, retaining the excess water within the city aquifer by creating options to eliminate concrete pavements that separate water from the natural ecosystem; utilize natural wetlands to absorb water into the soil; make city water-resilient and transform cities/communities/ neighbourhoods by helping in redefining urban landscape by working across different disciplines — hydrology, landscape, architecture, planning and engineering, to save human lives and property from the threat posed and damage caused by excess water.
Sponge city model, as an option and strategy, has been gaining currency and finding favour, both at local and global level with planners,

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Understanding peri-urban water flows_Vishal Narain
1. Understanding periurban water
flows
Implications for governance and urban
planning
Vishal Narain, MDI, Gurgaon
National Seminar organized by CSH, Human Settlement
Management Institute, Delhi
July 15-16,2011
2. Overview of presentation
• Conceptualizing periurban
– What do we mean by periurban
• Research design and context: the growth
of Gurgaon city
• The case studies of Budheda and
Sadhraana
• Implications for governance and
sustainability of cities
3. Conceptualizing periurban
• No consensus definition
• As a place
– Villages around cities
– Most commonly used connotation of the term
• As a process
– Process of transition from rural to urban
• As a concept
– An analytic construct to study rural-urban
relationships and flows of goods and services
4. Features of periurban
• Mixed and changing land use
– Agricultural lands, mining, farmhouses of urban elite,
conservation and recreation centers
• Natural resources under stress and contestation:
land acquisition for urban expansion, receive
urban wastes
• Social heterogeneity and flux
• Erosion of social capital
– Migration, acquisition of CPRs
5. Why do periurban areas need
attention?
• Urbanization a fact of life in the developing world
• Periurban areas will grow in importance; will
shape the nature of urbanization processes
• Receive scant attention because of
fragmentation between rural development and
urban planning
• Discussions of sustainable cities are incomplete
till we understand how their ecological foot-print
is borne (the notion of space is important)
6. Research context: the growth of
Gurgaon city
• Growing as a major residential,
outsourcing and recreation hub
• Narratives about the millenium city flood
the media
• Projected as a “global city” with an
impressive skyline
• Visual landscape
– tall skyscrapers co-existing with village
settlement areas and agricultural fields
7. The growth of Gurgaon city
• Three major reasons behind its growth
– proximity to the national capital and
international airport
– initiatives of state government
• policies for SEZs (special economic zones)
– real estate boom since the 1980s has driven
land use change
8. The research questions
• How does urbanization affect water use
and access of periurban residents ?
• How do they adapt to the changes in
water availability as a result of the above
processes ?
• What are the implications for water
governance, urban expansion and
sustainability ?
9. Research location and design
• Two villages
– Budheda and Sadhraana
– Periurban Gurgaon
• Qualitative research design /ethnographic
approach
– case study method
– semi-structured interviews with residents
– key informant interviews
– focus group meetings
– direct observation
– secondary sources of data
– (a more structured survey is still underway)
10. Sadhraana Village
• Population of 3500 people
– 425 households
• Major crops grown
– wheat, mustard, sorghum, pearl-millet,
vegetables and lentils
• No irrigation canal or sewage based
irrigation
– only groundwater
11. Land use change over the last two
decades
• Gradual Process of land use change
– 80 acres acquired for the Sultanpur National
Park
– 600 acres sold off to farm-houses
– 150 acres acquired for Reliance SEZ
• Left with about 40% of the net cultivated
area recorded in the 1960s
• Land and water appropriated by the urban
elite
12. Major pressures on groundwater
• Tubewells dug for Sultanpur National Park
– Now gets its water from the GWS channel
• Farm-houses major appropriator of groundwater
– extract water using high powered submersible pump-
sets not affordable by locals
– acquire the land over the ‘fresh’ groundwater
– transport water over 3-4 km to their farm-houses
using underground pipes when the farm-houses are
located over saline groundwater
• Results of a legal framework and water rights structure that is
inequitable
13. Impacts of growing pressures
– Fall in water table over last decade
• 60 ft to 100 ft
• 20 ft to 60 ft
– Farmers accessing saline groundwater
• unfit for agriculture and livestock
– Small and marginal farmers unable to afford
the high costs of extraction
• a submersible pump-set: Rs 100000 to Rs 125000
14. Adaptation to water scarcity
• Technological adaptation
– From lao chedas, rainth to tubewells and submersibles
• small and marginal farmers left out
– Use of sprinklers
• water scarcity
• Sandy soil and undulating terrain
• less labor-intensive irrigation technologies
• Leave land fallow
• Take only one crop per year
• Switch to rain fed crops
• Buy water based on social relations
– Social capital eroded in periurban areas
15. Budheda
• 725 households and 5500 people
• Crops grown
– wheat, mustard, sorghum, pearl-millet,
vegetables
• Many sources of irrigation depending on
location of fields
– tubewells/submersibles/ urban sewage
16. Land use change: bearing the
ecological foot-print of urbanization
• Major source of land to supply water to the city:
– 129 acres of land for a WTP for Gurgaon city
• 30 acres in a second round of acquisition
• 12 acres of grazing land for the same plant
– Livestock dependent village with strong reliance on grazing
lands
– 17 acres for each of the two canals to carry water for
WTP at Basai
– Left with just about a fourth of its net cultivated area
17. The rural-urban water nexus
• The Gurgaon Water Supply Channel passes
through the village to carry water to Basai WTP
for Gurgaon city
– source of opportunity and conflict
– raised local water table
– pipe outlet installed for village pond
– tube wells installed to benefit from water table rise
• Had to be removed when the NCR channel was dug
• Highlights vulnerability of farmers to uncertain water supply
18. Use of urban wastewater
• A wastewater canal passes through the village,
carrying the city’s waste
– Untreated sewage
• Rich in nutrients, removes the need for costly application of
fertilizers and water pumping
– Farmers irrigate paddy and wheat
• Pay irrigation department for its use
– Associated with adverse health effects for producers
and consumers of the produce
– Now the only source of irrigation with the removal of
tubewells
• Highlights vulnerability to an uncertain water supply
19. What these studies tell us…
• Urbanization changes periurban water use
and access
• Flows of water between villages and cities
are in both directions
• Urbanization creates water insecurity (and
not just scarcity)
• These flows need better appreciation in
urban infrastructure provision and supply
augmentation
20. Significance of the notion of
periurban
• Brings a new dimension to urban planning
• Highlights the notion of space – when we
talk of a sustainable city, then what are
we talking about ?
• Questions the fragmented nature of
conventional planning approaches
between rural development and urban
planning
21. Implications for governance
• As urbanization advances, periurban areas (and issues)
will rise in significance
• Current processes of urbanization bear well neither for
equity nor for sustainability
– Cities growing beyond the carrying capacity compromise
periurban residents’ access both to land and water
• Base urban expansion plans on studies of carrying
capacity of cities
• Recognise the flows of water between rural and urban
areas
– Move away from seeing “rural water supply” and “urban water
supply” as distinct conceptual entities
