Urbanisation, Water and Climate
Change:
A case of Jaipur city

Context…
 India rapidly urbanising
 Urban areas engine of economic
development
 Pressures: Push and pull migration
from rural areas
 Climate Change—exacerbate
challenge of water supply and
protecting ecosystems
Context
 Challenge: Meeting water supply
demand of increasing urban
population
 Relation between Climate Change and
water resource conditions
 Nature and size of migrant population
 Deliver water supply to poor/ vulnerable
where there is lack of infrastructure
Jaipur City
 High rural-urban migration rates
 Rapidly expanding peri-urban areas: Land use changes
reducing recharge
 Limited water supply and water quality issues
 Groundwater over-extraction, pollution and less
recharge
 The key surface water sources (Bisalpur Dam) filled
only few times
 High rainfall variability in Banas Basin; drought years
common
 So, CC impacts—delay in monsoon, high intense
showers over short period, dry years poses
additional challenge to key surface water supplies

The Project
 CEDSJ and ISET: Urbanisation, Water Scarcity and
Climate Change: A case of Jaipur city
 Links between Climate Variability, Groundwater
Overdraft and migration inflows
Methodology
Review of literature and policies
Details surveys of migration
Climate Downscaling for Banas River Basin: projected
monthly time series of precipitation (2009-2040)
 Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model:
Current and future water availability and demand
scenarios




Climate Downscaling
 Two GCMs (CGCM3 and ECHAM5)
 Two emission scenarios (A1B and A2)
 Hence four climate change scenarios
are considered namely CGCM3 A1B,
CGCM3 A2, ECHAM5 A1B, and ECHAM5
A2
Common SRES emission scenarios
(Source: Environment Canada 2011).
WEAP setup for Jaipur water supply system
Variance in Bisalpur storage (MCM)
Huge unmet demand even without Climate Change
Jaipur Combined: Domestic, Industrial uses
Key Findings..
 Sequential drought years
 Failure of current water supply system for
urban demand
 Ability to respond dependant on availability
of key data sets
 Official estimates of river flows differ
greatly between two data sets
 Challenge to assess future water availability
given uncertainty in CC projections
Key Findings..
 Reliable future streamflow record
generation a challenge given the data
available
 Hence, factors contributing to vulnerability
of Jaipur were assessed.
 High dependence on single water supply source
 High Losses in distribution systems
 Extensive pollution and degradation of
ecosystems and groundwater
Options for resilient water supply
system for Jaipur
 Water supply diversification
 Improved efficiency of water supply
delivery
 Improved maintenance of ecosystems
and local watersheds
 Recharge of aquifers in peri-urban
areas and Groundwater management
 Policy: Strict enforcement of Landuse
and revision of Masterplan
