1 ENVIRONMENTALBASELINEDATA With rapid strides in economic development, particularly in urban areas, the need for rationalising and upgrading the transport system is imperative. In the process of development,therehasbeenintensiveuseofnaturalresources.Veryoftentheprocessof developmenthasadverselyaffectedtheenvironment,leadingtoecologicalimbalances.The importanceofconservingandenhancingtheenvironmentalassetshasassumedurgency. Apartfromlanduse,conservationoffloraandfaunaandplanningurbantransportationis animportantaspectofecodevelopment. The compilation of environmental baseline data is essential to assess the impact on environment due to the project activities. The environment includes water, land, air, ecology,noise,socioeconomicissuesetc.TheinformationpresentedintheChapterhas beencollectedfromdeskresearch,othersecondarysourcesandfieldstudies.Majorityof dataonwaterquality,vegetation,airandnoisequalitywascollectedduringfieldstudiesin FebruaryMarch2006. 1.1.2 GeneralEnvironment TheaverageelevationofDelhiplainsisaround198200maboveMSL.RiverYamuna flowsacrosstheeasternflankofthecity.Manysmallwatercoursesintersectstheterrain causingavariationinrelief.However,averagegradientofterrainisgentle,oftheorderof1 to3m/km.Theareahasmaturetopographywithisolatedhillocks.Thegroundwatertablein Delhihasdepletedtoabout2030metersinvariousareasacrossthecity.Comparedtoa levelof3040feetatthetimeofIndependence,thewatertablehasdroppedto350feetat certainplaces.Itissaidtobefallingat10feetperyearonanaverage.Thegroundwater occursinsiltytosandylayersofthealluvialsediments.Thepermeabilityvariesfrom0.5to 8mperdayandtransmissivityfrom10to100sqm/day.Thehydraulicgradientisreported 1.3to2.0km/m.Delhihasanextremeclimate,whichisverycoldinwinterandhotin summer.ThewintersbegininNovemberandareatitspeakaroundthetimeoftheNew Yearandthe1sthalfoftheJanuary.AfterthemiddleofMarch,theweatherbeginstoturn warmandsoonitbecomeshotsothatfromApriltoJuneoneexperiencesextremeheatas thetemperatureclimbsto45oCattimes.ThemonsoonarrivestowardstheendofJune.
