Learning's from Case StudyRiverfront Qualities: • Access and Linkage• Edge Uses• Attractions & Destinations• Identity & Image• Amenities• Water Uses• Flexibility in Design• Seasonal Strategy• Landuse Management• Diverse Funding Sources

Steps to create Great Waterfronts:• Make Public goals as the primary objective• Create Multiple Destinations• Connect the destinations• Optimize public access• Encourage 24 hour activity by limiting residential

development at major destinations• Use parks to connect destinations.• Design and program buildings to engage the

public space• Support multiple modes of transportation and

limit vehicle access.• Integrate seasonal activities into each

destination.• Make stand alone, iconic buildings serve as

multiple functions.

Kanakapura Planning Area Zones

Kanakapura Conurbation Area

STUDY AREA

Demographic Details (As on 2001)Total Area 7.20 Km2Population 47,060Population Density 6,537 / km2Literacy 66%No. of Households 9,878

• Kanakapura is situated 55 km south to Bangalore on National Highway NH 209, on the banks of the river Arkavathi. and 27 km from Ramanagaram

• this town is famous for the production of silk & granite

BMRDA Regions

Topography

• Based on Geomorphology data, the study area falls in Pediplain status.

• Pediplain is the level ground surface slightly inclined towards the river flow. .

Geomorphology

• The Groundwater potential in the valley portion of river flow path is good (i.e., _150_- Meter)

• The Infiltration zones are larger in area than runoff and are suitable for ground water recharge.

Geomorphological Units Water BodyPediPlain

Ground Water Potential

TopographyElevation Soil Type

• The river & its surroundings fall under 650 Meters from MSL.

• Most of the Settlement areas are lying in between 650 to 700 Meters.

• The majority is Fine Sand Deposit & Sandy Skeletal.• Avg. Specific Yield of Fine sand is 21%, So the flow

of the river can improve Groundwater level in the nearby areas.

Infrastructure ServicesWater supply System

Pumping Station

• In two places there are water pumping from the River, Overhead tanks are located on the Trunk line .• 134 Bore wells spread all over the Kanakapura area.

PROPOSALS ON RIVERFRONT

Proposals – Section 1

1. Maintain an uniform river Width – 60 mtr

2. Provide Check dam 1 to control the Silting process

Surface water availability will increase and thereby over-exploitation of groundwater can be prevented

3. Additional roads connecting the MP proposed 12m road

12m Road Cross Section

Foot pathDrain

Service Road Carriage way

Proposals – Section 2

1. Maintain an uniform river Width – 60 mtr

2. Provide Check dam 2 and Check dam 3 to control the Silting process.

3. Selling off river sands during winter Period from the deposits of check dams and sale it for construction purposes.

(Revenue for Govt)

4. In the sides of the river plant trees to check soil erosion – plant specification.

Proposals – Section 3

1. Maintain an uniform river width 60 mtr- Reclaimed land = 0.21 Hectares

2. Plant Cocoa & vanilla plant in between coconut trees all over the agricultural land. Normally Coconut trees – 5mtr gap; in the

gap plant Coca / vanilla plant – 2mtr) – Coca & Vanilla plant don’t need separate irrigation facility; the irrigation for coconut tree

is sufficient.

3. Connect the existing Pete Kere town lake by 183 mtr length Channel Width of 8mtr, so during the monsoon period the excess

flow in river divert into the lake, and it stored for ground water recharge purpose. The overflowing water from Pete Kere Lake

can be send back to the river by 509 mtr length in the eastern side of the lake.

4. In between pete kere lake & river, two intermediate ponds are connected for maximum utilization of surface water.
