Location: ATREE campus, Bangalore
Date: Monday, November 9, 2015
Authors: Vishal Mehta, Deepak Malghan, and Muddu Sekhar
Presenter: Dr. Vishal Mehta
At the invitation of ATREE, Dr. Mehta presented the coupled social hydrology of Bangalore as part of ATREE’s ongoing monthly seminar event. The event served as a dialogue for researchers working on Bangalore’s water crisis from different perspectives.
In May 2015, the Cities Alliance Catalytic Fund supported BUMP, through a competetive grant-making process. The focus of this two year support will be on delivering results from the household water survey. The major new activity will be on measuring groundwater levels in 150-200 locations in Bangalore on a monthly basis. This will build the evidence base on static groundwater levels in the city, which in turn will inform groundwater models that we will build.
The support from Cities Alliance is gratefully acknowledged.

At the invitation of Wipro staff, Dr. Mehta presented a comparison of the water metabolism of Bangalore and Bangkok, with a focus on groundwater policy development in Bangkok and what Bangalore could learn from the same.
Title
Urban metabolism in Bangalore and Bangkok: findings and future directions
In 2014, SEI and IIM-B are working on comparing the urban metabolism of two big cities: Bangalore and Bangkok. Initial findings were presented at the SEI science forum in January, 2014.
Location: Stockholm, Sweden
Date: Monday, January 27, 2014
At the 2014 SEI science forum, held in Stockholm Sweden, SEI researchers from the US and Asia centres presented the preliminary findings of a comparison of urban metabolism in Bangalore, India, and Bangkok, Thailand.
The goals of this comparative work are to compare these two big Asian cities using the metabolic framework, in order to bring about a cross-fertilization of policy ideas.
Location: Bangalore International Centre
Date: Monday, December 9, 2013
Dr. Vishal Mehta was invited to present the Bangalore Urban Metabolism work to a diverse group of researchers, practitioners, government officials. The presentation covered work to date documeting the growth of Bangalore, water supply status, critical knowledge gaps and how coupled social-ecological models can be used to understand the dynamic connections between water use and the health of the city’s ecological foundations.
The event was moderated by Mr. V. Balasubramanian, former Additional Chief Secretary of the Govt. of Karnataka.
We have been developing groundwater models for Bangalore since February 2012. This animation shows one possible impact of residential water use, leaking pipes and groundwater pumping on a monthly time step.
Models developed by V.K. Mehta, SEI.
