FRAMEWORK, PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS & GUIDELINES FOR BUFFER ZONES
Indian cities are under the double siege of water scarcity and flooding. Consistent failure to recognize the primacy of natural systems in urban areas combined with land use driven planning frameworks have rendered these cities extremely vulnerable. The directives of the National Green Tribunal to protect water bodies by establishment of buffer zones was a catalyst in foregrounding the issue for most city and state governments. 
Contextual analysis of Bangalore's water systems
Zone based diversity of lakes & tanks
Stream order analysis in dense urban areas
Stream order analysis in suburban areas
Land use scenario around water systems in dense urban areas
Land use scenario around water systems in suburban areas
Illustrative buffer performance
Sectional management of buffers
Buffer delineation for performance
Buffer delineation for performance
The report on delineation of buffers for Bangalore is a continuation our engagement with the city’s natural systems. To enable the various planning and implementation agencies as well as civic groups of the city unravel and address the complex issues, we were commissioned to present an objective analysis and possible solutions to the management of the city’s natural systems. 

An extensive study and analysis of existing documentation and scholarship combined with a peer review process ensured a balanced, scientific and practical outcome. The outcome is based on spatial and performative characteristics of buffer zones in response to the specific contexts they occupy. The final proposal is premised on the idea of creating a resilient urban system, decentralized sources and networks with minimal disruption to existing urban fabric, integrated within the larger green infrastructure framework.

The study was commissioned by the Bangalore Development Authority and City Connect Bangalore, with peer review process supported by Indian Institute of Science Bangalore and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay.
