World Bank / MOEF/ IGIDR study (2000) Recommendations 1. A significant proportion of investment should be in physical and ecological interventions so as to maintain and conserve the ecological and hydrological character of the wetlands, which at present is under stress due to rapidly increasing anthropogenic pressures. 2. As it appears from the present investigation, the hydrological functions comprise of 39.35% of the total economic value. Hence to maintain the ground water recharge potential of the floodplains, it is imperative to prevent any fresh civic structure to come up in these areas. This is necessary because fresh ground water resources present in the flood plain and connected aquifers in the city are replenished annually due to flood plains. 3. Channelisation of the river in the Delhi stretch should not be carried out. Channelisation will not only lead to reduction of the ground water reserve, it will completely stop the ground water recharge that occurs from the flood plains. In the light of acute scarcity of fresh water in Delhi, reduction of the ground water reserve will further aggravate the water problem.
‘Truth’ about Global Sporting Events like Olympics, Asiad, CGW etc Article 5 – Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) Constitution ‘The Commonwealth Games are contests between athletes and not contests between countries’. These short duration (CGW 2010 is 10 day event) mega events are actually non government events (IOA is the host) which are often with few exceptions (like the Cricket World Cup organised by BCCI) facilitated specially in developing countries by respective Governments through generous use of public funds invested mostly in infrastructural constructions. Since public money is involved it is important that the kind of ‘legacy’ that such events leave behind in the host city as well as the country concerned is a matter of public concern, debate and scrutiny.
