Revivifying The Course: Envisioning The City Through An Urban Water Channel

Published on Dec 9, 2020

Urbanization has adversely affected the natural drainage pattern of the city too, which results in more water-logged areas and periodic flooding. Besides the increased spatial stormwater coverage, the drainage channels experience negative consequences of urbanization, also evident through pollution of stormwater runoff, mixed sewers, and mismanagement of solid waste. As a consequence, the management of urban runoff not only mitigates the presence of natural drains but also reduces the stress on water resources through a sustainable approach. The project thought represents the challenges and opportunities for stormwater management practices along the course of the Kharicut canal in the age of planning smart cities. At present, the city overlooked its misuse, and the Kharicut canal system, which was once, remodelled to prevent flooding in the Eastern part, has lost its purpose. The nature-based solutions will suffice stormwater management in the urban area and bring the course of water channel back to its life.
