ABSTRACT
The Indian government stated a programme of building 100 smart cities in India. The proposed
study aims to identify the measures to refresh and to improve the improper urban organization,
quality of life, and achieving maintainable development. Socio-economic requirements are the key
aspects behind the rapid urbanization in India. This research presents the requirement of a holistic,
integrated, and multidisciplinary method to the concept of smart cities. The study area is a part of
Chittoor district in south-eastern part of Andhra Pradesh. It is one among the cities which is selected
to make smart city by the Indian government. generally, in urban areas facing the problems in water
supply system, transport network, waste water management plans, storm water management plans,
solid waste management plans, keepingthis in view this study has been taken into objective and to
prepare action plan for this study transport network, water supply system, waste water management
plans, solid waste management plans and storm water management.
Key words: Transport plans, Water supply network, Sanitation, Sewage management, storm water
management.

1. INTRODUCTION
Urbanization has become a common feature of Indian society. Growth of Industries has contributed to the
growth of cities. As a result of industrialization people have started moving towards the industrial areas in
search of employment. This has resulted in the growth of towns and cities. With a high rate of urbanization
significant changes have taken place. The effect of urbanization can be summed up as follows: Urbanization
can yield positive effects if it takes place up to a desirable limit. Extensive urbanization or indiscriminate
growth of cities may result in adverse effects. They may be as follows: Concentration of population is a major
problem of cities. It has resulted in accommodation problem, growth of slums etc. In industrialized cities
pollution is a major problem. It may be caused by industries or by excessive movement of vehicles. In
urbanization, the resources are getting vanished / getting run out Thus, urbanization has its own merits and
de-merits. Urbanization cant be avoided. But the negative effect of urbanization can be minimized.
2. OBJECTIVES
Preparation of model action plan for water supply system, transport network, waste water management, storm
water management and solid waste management
3. METHODODLOGY
To make any city smart city at first, we have to develop/improve the present conditions of the area and by
improving/solving the present challenges we make the step in making smart city. The methodology flowchart
shown in Figure 1.
Collection of data for present conditions

monsoon and post monsoon periods. Weakening of ground water levels in the district during pre-monsoon
period fluctuated from 0.08 to 0.80 m/year in 28 stations out of 38 stations with general deteriorating
inclination of 0.10 to 0.40 m/y, Sources and Availability: This gives data about availability of water sources
avail at Tirupati region. Tirupati region is mainly depending upon two main water sources which is located
nearby distance of Tirupati they are Kandaleru reservoir and Kalyani dam which is located at 32km and 17
km from Tirupati respectively. The municipal corporation of Tirupati is getting 39 MLD and 12 MLD from
these reservoirs. in addition to that the MCT is getting water from bores and hand bores and power bores is
connected to local pipe network to cater public daily needs Storage and Distribution: For distribution of
water the whole city is alienated into three water circulation zones spreading over the 36 wards. Water is
distributed from these Handling plants to 6 storage reservoirs situated in different places of the town. Per
capita supply and Supply duration: in lack of better administration the problems arising during supply and
lack of metering and supervision results delays in maintenance.
Nearly 78% of people are covered with water supply system by MCT and the remaining people depending
on bore wells and public taps Metering and Non-revenue water: Majority of connections does not have the
water metering and current metering is limited to 3.6% only of all connections. At present described NRW
is 15.7%, but while examination of NRW is forced by lack of metering at bulk levels and weak official data.
Based on the type and age of delivery network it is difficult to ensure water metering, lack of metering and
high level of unauthorised connections, NRW could be aloft of 25%. Service levels in slums: The
Shantytowns in municipal corporation Tirupati has sensible good access to water supply comparative to the
respite of the city.in slums there is widespread of pipe network of 54 km.
The main motto of installing smart meters is to create awareness of people about usage of water. To
supplement water of 100 MLD from Kandaleru can assuage water availability concerns and possible to
enlarge access to entire area by introducing a water master plan and to Possible to improve service delivery
gaps through a time-bound presentation and development program. Leakages are to be noticed by real time

rejuvenating diversion channels, new outfall drains, real- time monitoring system through SCADA

5. CONCLUSION
Major areas where conducted the study are water supply network, transportation, waste water management
and solid waste management. By achieving all those challenges prescribed above, we can make Tirupati city
a smart city. The challenges are achieved by improving water distribution system is by providing 100%
connections with smart water metering and building water storage ponds in water deficit areas; in sewerage
system 100% sewerage connections can be achieved by providing (additional 33293 connections); in
sanitation and solid waste management the wastes are to be collected by using smart bin sensor technology,
automated mechanism and utilizing the waste to generate revenue in terms of power generation and recycling
of wastes; in storm water management, it is managed to collect in the storm water percolation tanks/ check
dams near Kapilatheertham, Malvanigundam to utilize the storm water for future needs and to improve
ground water levels and in transport development plans. It is necessary to plan defined carriageway,
pedestrian footpaths and the expansion of existing roads and to improve defined bus ways to cater public in
better way.
