Inherent to Lavasa's foundation of New Urbanism, is the Environment Management Plan (EMP). This is a plan of constant, evolving action that addresses ecology concerns at several levels. From topsoil management, tree transplantation and mass plantation to the technologically superior processes of hydroseeding, soil, water and air pollution control and monitoring systems.
|
|
| Here is how we ensure an environmental balance: |
|
 |
Increasing awareness amongst villagers in order to increase sapling plantation. Till date, a total of half a million tree saplings have been planted at Dasve, with an average survival rate of 60%. |
 |
|
|
Minimizing soil erosion and facilitating ground water recharge by setting up a plantation of fast-growing shrubs, and 20000 running meters of continuous contour trenches (CCT), covering 33 hectares. |
|
|
|
Implementing hydro seeding (which has been applied successfully for the first time in India) has resulted in a 44% germination rate over 12000 square meters of area. |
|
|
Nurturing fauna by preserving habitat and increasing biodiversity. |
|
|
Preserving green cover by protecting forest areas. |
|
|
|
Installing 3 weather stations to continuously measure and monitor metrological parameters such as rainfall, wind speed and direction, humidity and temperature. |
|
|
| Biomimicry |
| The foundation of biomimicry is based upon the study of nature and how nature confronts, overcomes and accommodates adversity. |
| By observing the smallest insect, or the way that leaves change colour and die to preserve the life of the trees, the camouflage of lizards in the desert. Nature and evolution have found special and unique ways of preserving life. |
We, as humankind, are learning these skills too. Skills and knowledge that we are applying to Lavasa - to the way we are planning, building and living within this amazing hill city.
|
|
| By implementing these initiatives, Lavasa is able to ensure that man and nature will co-exist in a seamless harmony for many years to come. |
