Estimating Sustainable Carrying Capacity of Flood Prone Hilly Urban Areas
Abstract The carrying capacity of an area is the maximum number of people that can be supported by the environment in an eco-friendly manner utilizing the available resources. Cities of the developing countries are expanding at a rapid rate without bearing in mind its carrying capacity limit. Due to lack of emphasis on this aspect of development planning, urban areas are suffering from severe environmental problems like flood and erosion. The paper gives an overall insight coupled with scientific overviews providing a method for the assessment of carrying capacity of an urban watershed. This method finally accommodates a sustainable population iteratively through trial allocation and feedback analysis and therefore it is named as “Sustainable Accommodation through Feedback Evaluation (SAFE model)”. The model also incorporates technological intervention to improve the carrying capacity of the area through application of Ecological Management Practices (EMPs) to obtain a sustainable development regime.
