Deruralization studies: Patiali-ki-Rao, an intermittent river at the edge of Chandigarh
Here is some amazing work done by the CCA students Mahavir Singh and Divya Khurana (CUL2014), on the Patiali-ki-Rao, one of the two intermittent rivers that naturally defined the East and West edges of the Chandigarh (with the Shivalik Hills to the North). Today these intermittent rivers are under seige, as the growth of Chandigarh has made them, and their ecology, intra-urban. But not quite fully urban, but no longer rural either.
