WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
But this claim was rejected by the study done by Columbia Water Centre (CWC) which says that
in north Gujarat where the survey was carried out in 180 sq km of cash-rich areas in
Mehsana&Gandhinagar, water tables have been falling steadily over 15- 20 years. At present it
is about 600 ft below ground level. Also the rate of decline is 9 ft/yr as per observation wells,
and 20 ft/yr as per farmer recollections. "Water levels are either approaching or already below
mean sea level, hence increases the risk of intrusion of saline water, a transition that could end
agriculture in the area. Studies state that 82% of wells have salt in their water over the last 5-15
years. Other changes in water quality include increasing temperature (reported by 52%)
fluoride (30%) and dust (30%). Most people expected the water table to continue its decline,
and on an average expect water to last for about only six years. Because of this farmers will
have to deepen their wells (30%) or migrate (30%) to some other location or restrict crop
cultivation to the rainy season only (20%). 2

TDS CONTENT
5The figure shows that the Water quality in Gandhinagar district has TDS value between 2500-
5000.But as per IS 10500 (1991) guidelines, permissible limit of TDS in potable water is 2000
ppm. This water is supplied mainly through regional water supply system (RWSS) hence it is
clear that water quality in gandhinagar district is not up to the desired standards. Therefore
water treatment processes are required before distributing the water.

From the Chart above, according to population basis we shortlisted the towns
viz.(Adarajmoti,Kolawada,Randheja,Uwarshad,Vavol). All these towns have population greater
than 6000 souls; we kept these on the feasibility basis as towns having population less than
6000 are not feasible for designing new project on the basis of cost factor.

Thus, table 1 clearly indicates that there has been a tremendous increase in population of
vavol,which falsify all the projected parameters of the probable population. Hence vavol is the
most authentic town, as the scope of study increases here. The increase in population is mainly
due to new establishments (i.e. townships) that are constructed in the village area because of
being adjacent to Gandhinagar city.

Table 3 shows that capacity of ESR invavol village is only 1,00,000 litres which cannot satisfy
15000 souls (for 70 lpcd), also height of ESR does not provide adequate pressure for village
topography because it is very widespread and as a result of which sufficient pressure is not
obtained at the tail end of the village (as inquired from the village talathi).
The village has only one pump existing and due to which supply is irregular, i.e. areas are fed at
different slots.

The latest version of seismic zoning map of India given in the earthquake resistant design code
of India [IS 1893 (Part 1) 2002] assigns four levels of seismicity for India in terms of zone factors.
According to the present zoning map, Zone 5 expects the highest level of seismicity whereas
Zone 2 is associated with the lowest level of seismicity.
It can be seen from figure 8 that Gandhinagar falls under Zone III of Seismicity. Therefore it is a
Moderate damage risk zone for earthquakes.

The TPS included the gamtalofVavol, water bodies and surrounding agricultural lands.
It was identified as one of the Nucleus Villages and is earmarked as residential zone (R7) in the
Gandhinagar Development Plan, 2011. The total area of the TPS is 175 ha, there are 319 plots
and most of the area is vacant. The project involved a diverse set of tasks – carrying out an
accurate topographical survey, compiling land ownership details, preparing the base map by
reconciling the survey with cadastral maps, getting the base map certified by the revenue
department, marking all plots owned by a single owner, planning the road network, delineating
plots for public use, delineating final plots, valuing land, designing detailed infrastructure,
estimating the costs of development, distributing the costs of development on the owners,
calculating betterment charges, preparing the documents for presenting the proposals to the
owners, assisting the AMC in scrutinizing the objections/suggestions, modifying the proposals,
preparing the documents for publishing the TPS and preparing the final documents for
submission to the State Government.24

WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
3.1OVERVIEW
Water is required for many purposes in the village. Mainly the water is required for
domestic purposes but there are 3 schools in the village which face the water scarcity
issue. A private school is constructing a bigger storage overhead water tank to cope up
with the demands. Moreover the DhobhiGhat area of the village requires more water.
As per CPHEEO manual 70 liters of water is to be supplied to a person everyday and the
current population of Vavol is 15,000 souls. So a minimum of 10, 50,000 liters of water is
required per day. There is no issue related to the quality of water but there are
problems regarding the pressure of water and quantity of water supplied.
Type of Water Supply: Intermittent Water Supply
Due to high costs and incapability of paying the cost water supplied through the
Narmada Mains, this source is not being used at present.
(b)Borewell
The other source of water is borewell. There are 3 borewells in the village. The locations
of the borewells have been shown in the plan below:
Page 36
Group – 6
SBST, CEPT UNIVERSITY.
WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
BOREWELL-1
The major one is located near the lake. It is this borewell through which the whole
village (except for Dhobi-Ghaat and Kubernagar ) is supplied water. The depth of this
borewell is 350 feet.
Page 37
Group – 6
SBST, CEPT UNIVERSITY.
WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
BOREWELL-2
The second one is nearDhobhiGhat i.e. on the north eastern side of the village. Here, the
water is supplied throughout the hours of supply especially for the purpose of cleaning
clothes. The depth of this borewell is 400 ft.
BOREWELL-3
The third is located at Kubernagar which is at the farthest north eastern end of the
village. As this region developed later than the remaining areas of the village, a special
borewell for the region was drilled. The depth of this borewell is 350ft
Page 38
Group – 6
SBST, CEPT UNIVERSITY.
WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
ESR-2:1, 40,000litre
ESR-1 is not in use as it is very old (older than 25 years) and has the connection to an
underground sump to which the water used to be supplied from the Narmada Mains.
Therefore, the Sump and ESR-1 are NOT IN USE right now.
The water from Borewell-1 is pumped to the ESR-2 and is supplied to the village from there.
Hence, there is no underground storage reservoir right now. This is a point to be worried
about as in case of sudden failure of the borewell or cut off of electricity supply there is no
water stored.
Page 39
Group – 6
SBST, CEPT UNIVERSITY.
WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
The water obtained at Vavol is free from fluorides and TDS, so no treatment is required
for that but normal disinfection with chlorine is done. First chlorine in powder form was
used but now it is used in liquid form. A chlorine release machine is fitted at mouth of
the pipe carrying water to the ESR. It releases the chlorine in appropriate amounts as
the water is pumped in the ESR. 1 liter of chlorine is consumed daily. No health issues
have occurred in the village due to quality of water. No RO or any other systems are
used to purify drinking water.
3.5 DISTRIBUTION
The water is transmitted through a pipe network which is 25 years old. Cement pipes of
dia. 6inches for the mains and the cement pipes of dia. 4 inches for the distribution lines
are used.
In the passage of time the ground level has risen due to filling up of areas and so the
pipes are approximately 10 feet below the ground. Thus maintenance and repair
becomes very difficult.
The type of water supply is Intermittent and is supplied in a staggered as in the way as
shown below:
AREA TIME

KUBERNAGAR 7 AM - 9 AM

Therefore we get from the table above that the motors and the Reservoir have
completed their design period. Hence, they are no more suitable to be used.
3.7.2MAINTENANCE CHARGES:A motor break down costs from Rs. 25,000 – 30,000 and
it generally occurs twice in a year. Apart from this the ESR is cleaned twice a year costing
aboutRs.5000 each time. Apart from this pipes fail, so they are repaired or replaced.

4 HOUSEHOLD SURVEY
4.1.1INTRODUCTION
4.1.1.1 WHAT IS A HOUSEHOLD SURVEY
Household survey is a survey carried out for collection of detailed and varied socio-
demographic data pertaining to conditions under which people live, their well-being, activities
in which they engage and various factors which influence the same. Household survey provides
a cheaper alternative to census for timely data. The accuracy of the data obtained can be made
accurate and relevant for use by deciding correct sample size for surveying, its correct
distribution and inclination towards carrying out the survey.
4.1.2 OBJECTIVE
The survey was carried out to find out the issues relating to water supply at the local level and
to find out the people’s view and opinion and suggestions to improve the current system and
also to check the authenticity of the data obtained about the water supply system till now.
Page 45

SBST, CEPT UNIVERSITY.
WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
The Personal Interview method was used for the survey as it is the most ideal and accurate.
1. The no. of households to assess the water quality, pressure and quantity.
2. Various income groups for assessment of economic variations region wise in the village
3. Various genders for assessment of the level of education and other specific issues
pertaining to water supply
4. Various caste to know about their water requirements in accordance to their cultural
and religious needs
5. Various age groups
The samples are taken from different parts of the village, from various income groups, religion
and gender. We have divided the village into different sections depending upon the time of
distribution of the water. Also the samples are taken depending upon the density of population
and so as Kubernagar has the highest population density it also has the highest no. of samples.
The samples from taken from the Patel vas and Vaghari vas indicate the whole central eastern
portion of the village.

The monthly income of the family will be an indicator of the standard of living of the people
thus, affecting factors like kind of drainage system in the house, higher level of services for
satisfaction. It also shows the capability of the people to make up for the shortcomings of the
system at personal level by installing pumping device and having a personal storage tank.

The size of the family is a function of the literacy of the of the female head of the family and of
course the mind-set of the people (which is not a measurable entity). In terms of water supply
system, the number of people in a family will affect the number of connections and their

The fact that literacy level of woman of the house determines the size of family due to
consciousness and awareness is very prominent here. It can be seen that illiteracy is highest in
the areas of Dhobighaat, Kubernagar and Thakur Vaas. Of these, the effect on the size of family
due to this can be seen in Kubernagar and Thakur Vaas.
The number of members in the families in DarbarVaas is big due to people of various
generations staying together in a joint family. Apart from this, the number children are also big
in the area Kubernagar.

It is important to understand the trend in the village in domesticating of animals. This also
depends on the cultural trend in the area and at times even the profession. For example, a
person having a dairy as business will have cattle.

From figure 6 it can be concluded that of the 77 houses surveyed only 8 have domesticated
animals. Therefore, 10% of the houses surveyed have animals.
Of these 8 houses, 4 are from Kubernagar, 2 are from VaaghriVaas, and 1 from
DhobighaatandDarbarVaas each.
Cattle are domesticated in all the areas apart from VaaghriVaas. Here, goats are domesticated
as they are cheaper to be fed and maintained and their milk can also be consumed.

Of the 77 houses surveyed, only 12 houses harvest rain water. Actually in this case, the usage of
word “harvesting” would be a misnomer. Of the houses which do it, 3 are from Kubernagar.
The financial condition of all the three is very poor and they cannot afford to construct a tank.
Therefore, they have made small pits in which they collect the rain water.
There are very rare occasions when the water is not supplied at all. This usually happens when
there is cut off of electricity or when cleaning of the ESR is to be done.

The tail ends of the village have a major issue of the pressure. If the Pressure becomes
adequate the timings will also become sufficient.
4.3 CONCLUSION:
The critical area which needs attention isKubernagar as all the conditions are adverse here
(physical, demographic, design of the system there).
Vaaghri vas has no regular water supply timings, moreover it is located on the far end of the
village, as a result water pressure is inadequate in this area.
All the areas have an issue of silt content in the water. Due to this they let around 2 buckets of
water coming initially to flow and then use it. This is practiced in all the places leading to
excessive wastage of water from an already depleting source of water.

5.1: INTRODUCTION
5.1.1 Who is a Stakeholder?
A person or group or an organisation having an interest in the system are the stakeholders of
the system. In case of water supply system for a village, the stakeholders can be classified as:
1. Primary Stakeholders –They are those who engage in economic transactions and have
authority over the system. (For example Panchayat, general public, Government Boards,
Execution Agencies, Involved Corporate)
2. Secondary Stakeholders They are those who although they do not engage in direct
economic exchange with the business are affected by or can affect its actions. (For
example the general public, communities, business support groups, other institutions)

1. To check the level of awareness of the stakeholders regarding the current water supply
and needs
4. To get their feedback on the results obtained from the household survey
5. To get an idea from their learning from the past actions relating to water supply in Vavol
6. To understand the role and involvement of the stakeholders in bringing about the
changes suggested by them
5.2.2 Methodology
Stakeholders’ survey mainly being a survey resulting in qualitative outcomes, was carried out by
discussing various things with the stakeholder. A questionnaire was prepared to make sure no
issue was left unaddressed during the discussion.
Quality Of Water
Quantity/Availability Of Water
5. Other sensitive issues like biased supply of water, negative political influence on the
system’s efficiency etc.

WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
Both primary and secondary stakeholders have been covered in the survey. In the primary
stakeholders, the people involved in the daily operation of the system, the immediate
regulating authority and people from bodies at taluka and district level have been surveyed.
Teachers and doctors have been covered under secondary stakeholders.
The teachers’ outlook would highly affect the approach of the people. The doctors were
surveyed as they could highlight the issues relating to quality (affecting health) and mind-set of
people.The people of the village are definitely the main stakeholders in the system and their
views are covered in the household survey. As representative of the people, community and
regional heads were also surveyed.

WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
Vavol being located near the capital city of Gandhinagar, has already become an urban
agglomeration. The population of the village has almost doubled in the last decade and has
crossed 15,000. Demographically, a lot of changes (like shift in the occupation from farming to
government jobs, income of the people etc.) Have been observed in the village and this will
magnify further in the coming years. Currently, the village falls under the authority of
Panchayat but looking at the pace of growth of the village it can be expected to be governed by
the Gandhinagar Municipal Cooperation in coming few years. It is important to pay attention to
and upgrade all the existing services in Vavolas the needs and expectations of the people are
changing and increasing.
5.3.2 CURRENT WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM
Among the primary stakeholders, the people involved in the functioning of the current system
were well aware of the system, its components and it’s working. Here, a technical approach and
knowledge was missing among the stakeholders.
5.3.2.1 QUANTITY OF WATER
SUPPLY
According to them the hours of supply of water are sufficient in all the areas of the village. The
requirements of quantity and pressure are not being satisfied at present as the distribution
system is very old and is around 3 m below the current ground level of the village. As the
distribution system was laid around 35 years back, it was meant to satisfy the needs of the
people then which was much less. From the same mains a number of new connections have
been drawn, resulting in reduction of pressure of the water.
Now, in order to solve the above problems, priority should be given to laying of a new
distribution system at appropriate depth. Pump of greater capacity (60 HP) should be installed
for increasing the pressure. For natural pressure obtained under the effect of gravity, a new ESR
of higher capacity of greater height (20 m) should be constructed. The people should also start
using the dhobi ghaat as far as possible for cleaning clothes to reduce the need of the water got
from the house tap connection.
It is known that within a zone of supply, a few communities get more water and a few get very
less water. This is a result of unplanned distribution of connections, poor design and biased
supply of water. To encounter this problem, valves should be installed at society level.
Page 68
Group – 6
SBST, CEPT UNIVERSITY.
WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
Even if adequate quantity of water is supplied to the people, many families which are financially
challenged cannot store water as they do not have any means for storage. Water tanks should
be provided to these families at a subsidized rate in order to solve the problem of quantity at
user’s level also.
There are no major issues regarding the quality of water here at the source level. Though there
is a lot of silt content in the water coming out of the taps as the water is continuously supplied
from the bore well and the silt is not allowed settle. A bigger ESR which would not require
continuous inflow from the bore well could be a solution. Even the sup which is there should be
used.
InKubernagar, water with very high silt content is obtained. Therefore, the usable quantity of
water obtained is very less. Here, there is an urgent need to construct an ESR.
As told by the doctors surveyed, the people of Vavol are prone to having diseases and disorders
like diarrhoea, kidney stones, dysentery very often. A major reason for this is that there is no
special supply for drinking water. This could be solved by either setting up an RO plant in the
village (aided by WASMO) and by creating awareness among the people regarding treatments
to be done to water to make it drinkable.
As per the veterinary doctor, bronchitis, stomach infection and pneumonia are common
disease in animals due to water consumed. The reason for this is that the animals consume
water mainly from lakes where people discharge their waste water. Special provision of water
for animals should be there by constructing more havadas and refilling and changing the water
often.
Almost all the stakeholders believed that even the though the system itself has shortcomings, if
the operation practices are improved a few problems can be encountered. More number of
operators are required. The timings of the supply vary at times. There is biased supply of water
as the village is dominated by the people from DarbarVaas and all the Panchayat members are
also darbars. Here, the differences are very community oriented. Maintenance of the pipelines
is almost impossible as they are difficult to have access to.

POLITICAL ISSUES
Under Sector Reform Yojana being run by WASMO, all the villages of Gandhinagartaluka having
any problem relating to water supply would get technical and financial assistance to upgrade
the system. 90 % of the required investment would be funded by the Government and the
remaining 10% has to be contributed by the Panchayat and the people of the village together.
The idea of getting 10 % from the people is to ensure that the consumers also have a stake in
the system and they value.
Issues relating to the physical system i.e. construction of new components can be covered
under this yojana. Irresponsibility, lack of dedication and lack of intention to work for the
general public has been noticed on the part of the Sarpanch and the other Panchayat members.
ThePanchayatmembers are rarely active in the village. Their practices are aimed at welfare of
their own community. It is very important to create awareness among the people to realise the
potential of their village, to know the available privileges to them so that they can themselves
get benefit from them and question.
The village of Vavol is at a lower level than the other surrounding areas as a result of which the
village gets waterlogged during monsoons. This fact could be used productively by harvesting
rain water and constructing recharge wells.
WATER TREATMENT
No proper water treatment is done in the village as the water quality is satisfactory but for
disinfection chlorine tablets are used, this treatment is carried out at the source only, but it is
not done at regular pre defined timings as a result inefficient treatment is observed. This can be
overcome by pre deciding the disinfection timings.

WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
During the stakeholder survey many administrative issues regarding the water supply system
came into picture and with a view of solving these issues a meeting was organised by us
between the WASMO officials and the village stakeholders.
The meeting was conducted on 19th September 2011 at 11 am in the Gram Panchayatoffice. A
notice was circulated among the stakeholders by the talati to inform the people about the
meeting. The following stakeholders from different parts of the village were informed:
The meeting was held amongst Mr.Gadhvi, a WASMO representative, the talatiMr. B. U.
Thakur and the stakeholders of the village. Many of the informed were absent and only a few
people turned up for the meeting. Out of 12, only 6 stakeholders came which were from
Thakorvas, Patelvas, Kubernagar, Rabarivas, Sheikhvas and the Sarpanch. A discussion was
carried out on all the aspects of the water supply system i.e. source, storage, treatment and
distribution from which the major issue was the distribution system. All the issues discussed are
mentioned below:
Page 71
Group – 6
SBST, CEPT UNIVERSITY.
WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
5.4.1 Source
The WASMO official studied the area of the village and recommended that a new bore
well is required at the south side of the village but the stakeholders informed that the
south side mainly consists of the residential societies which have a borewell of their own
and plus that they do not have enough funds for the new bore at present. The WASMO
official also suggested the use of Narmada water as the water quality is very good but
the stakeholders complained that it was too costly for them. For a use of 2 months of
Narmada water the Govt. generated a bill of Rs 3 lacs which was not at all possible for
the people to pay.
5.4.2 Treatment
Even though so many cases of kidney stones are registered in the village, the
stakeholders as well as the official both were satisfied with the treatment which was
done. When been asked about the silt problem in Kubernagar, the stakeholders
responded that this problem is because the bore is new and will solve itself as the time
passes.
5.4.3 Storage
Both the officials and stakeholders agreed that 2 new ESRs, 1 at Kubernagar and the
other at Dobhighat are required. This way they can separate the supply of these areas.
The ESR of head 12m at Kubernagar has the first priority as there is no distribution
system there as such and stations and hand pumps are provided at various points to get
water. This would also solve the silt problem as it would settle down in the ESR. Also this
area is at a higher level so it is not possible to supply water from the ESR1 (Gram
Panchayat). Also as the village has expanded the current height of the ESR1 i.e. 12m is
not enough and should be increased to 20m to obtain the required head and also to
settle the silt.

WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
5.4.4 Distribution
This was the most major topic of the meeting. All the areas are facing many issues
because of the improper water distribution. This is because the pipes are old, deep and
small to carry the required water at adequate pressure. Moreover there is no supply
network at Kubernagar and hand pumps and stations are provided at various points.
Vaaghari vas also faces a lot of water shortage due to less pressure. To solve this
problem the stakeholders already have prepared a new pipe network plan but the
WASMO officials do not think that this network would be able to sustain the demand.
Also more valves are required to regulate the supply so as everyone gets equal supply.
But the Gram Panchayatdoes have enough staff to maintain the system.

6- GAP ANALYSIS
It helps to compare the present scenario to the future demands & to establish the gap between
the two and in turn helps in designing self- sustaining systems.
Gap analysis is a process of determining, documenting and plugging the gaps between present
conditions and ideal situations. This can be done by benchmarking and doing other
assessments. Gap analysis provides a measurement to know much investment of time, money
and human resources is required to achieve the desired goal.

For such projects usually population is projected by each above mentioned method and an
average of all the four is considered.
Now, Vavol at present can be classified as a peri-urban area. The village has immense potential
for growth as it lies at the periphery ofGandhinagar city which is expanding at a rapid rate. The
population of Vavol has increased by 113% in the last decade (from 2001 to 2011).
Here, the forecast has been done on the basis of population density.
Page 76
Group – 6
SBST, CEPT UNIVERSITY.
WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
The forecast has been done as mentioned in the CPHEEO manual for Sewerage and Sewage
Treatment. For this method, the accurate land use pattern, density of areas and zoning of the
village should be known. If the above mentioned data is unavailable/ inaccurate following
mentioned density maybe assumed for the village (after a period of 30 years).
This table has been used for forecasting as the accurate land pattern etc of the village were not
available. The current population of Vavol is 15,000.Therefore, as per the table above the
density of Vavol can be taken to be between 150-250.Assuming the density of Vavol to be
180souls/hectare in the year 2043.
The area for residential purpose is taken to be 70% of the total area of the village. The
remaining area includes gardens, temples, lakes, cemetery, mosque etc.
= 532.9404 hectare
Hence, population of Vavolin 2043 = Area available for residing × Density in souls/hectare
Therefore, the population of Vavol in the year 2043 will be 95,930 souls.
It is assumed that 65% of the increase in density of population is achieved in the first fifty years
and the the remaining 35% increase in the last fifteen years. Assuming that current population
density is 40 souls/hectare and that 60% of the area will be used for development, the
population in the year 2028 can be assumed to be 59,850 souls.

Currently, there are three bore-wells in the village which are in use for 10 hours a day. The bore
yield has been calculated for 12 hours of pumping as the bore well need time to recharge and
water cannot be pumped out continuously (as told obtained from the Stakeholder’s Survey).

6.1.7 PRESSURE
As the village faces lot of pressure problems a discharge survey was carried out by us to
quantify the pressure drop in all areas. From the survey we came to know that as Darbaar vas
has motor connection it has very high discharge of 0.27 lps. Other far end areas such as
Kubernagar has 0.11 lps discharge andtarpoj had 0.10 lps. The average discharge of the whole
village is 0.12 lps.

For the above readings, one bucket a house per area was filled randomly. Within a locality also
the discharge may vary. Like in Kubernagar as we go away from the bore well the elevation
increases resulting in decreasing discharge in lps.

83%
From the above graph from Household survey (where 78 houses were surveyed), 17% of the
people do store rainwater in vessels whereas 83% do not. It is also seen that the bore wells are
over exploited as there yield capacity is 7,66, 264 lit from which 7,00,00 lit is pumped out every
day. So the there is a great need to recharge these bore wells. So a proper rain water harvesting
system is needed for the village. People should store rainwater so that the bores are less
exploited.
Also that Vavol being a comparatively low lying area gets water logged very easily. Thus, a rain
water harvesting system would solve both the purposes.
6.1.9 DRAINAGE
Presently Vavolis 7 ft below the road level so water logging in the Gaamtal area of the village is
a major issue which is faced throughout the year. At present the surface water is drained at the
south lake. Moreover there are individual soak pits and septic tanks and no proper drainage
system is there in the village. So drainage and rainwater disposal systems are also needed in the
village. This would also increase the water demand.
6.1.10 FINANCES
The total income of the PanchayatisRs. 53, 15,270 and the expenditure Rs. 33, 25,011. So the
savings are Rs. 19, 90,259. But this fund cannot be used as the Sector Reform Yojna instructs
that the fund should be paid by the public fund only. This amount can be judiciously used for
the operation and maintenance of the system. Also the electricity is paid by the Govt. as it still a
village but with the growth in population is will soon be changed to a town and so all the rules

of Nagarpalika will be implemented. So the electricity bill which is found out to be around Rs 2,
00, 000 will then have to be incurred by the Nagarpalika.
6.1.11 MISCELLANEOUS
The age for which of the system is designed for 30 years whereas here the system is 35 years
old and finished its service life so a new system is required. Also there are many political issues
such as the Darbars and the Patelswhich have a strong hold on the village have water supplied
to their areas for a longer time whereas the Vaagharis and Dantanis, are suppressed and left
without water. So a unbiased and equal distribution network is needed.

7.2 ZONING
7.2.1CURRENT ZONING
The current zoning for supply of water in the village is community based. During the household
survey it was realised that the people are dissatisfied with the current zoning as there are
political issues which are also community based. Also that there are regions within a zone with
varied supply issues. So, the first step taken is proposal of new zoning.
7.2.2PROPOSED ZONING
The new zoning was done considering the elevation of different areas of village from the
meansealevel. Areas with highest and lower altitude were taken into consideration.
On basis of the study of elevation levels majorly two zones were decided as shown in above
figure. Zone 1 has higher elevation ranging from 74 to 78 mts and zone 2 had elevations ranging
from 72 – 76 mts. Areas of zone 1 have higher elevations in comparison with the areas of zone
2.Zoning was also done in order to remove the political issues prevailing in village as it was
greatly affecting water supply system of village. Supplying water as per above zones will lead to
equal and sufficient supply of water in all zones. Also that within a zone no division of area for
supply has been done. Hours of supply for a zone are the hours when water is supplied in the
whole zone.

WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
The ratio of area of Zone1 to Zone2 is taken as 0.4:0.6 (on the basis of area calculation on graph
paper). Area of Zone1 is 304.56 hectare and that of Zone2 is 456.84 hectare. Similarly the
population and water requirement are given below in Table-19.

WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
The lake water is very unreliable source of water in terms of quality and quantity. Therefore, it
the source of water has been taken as the Narmada Canal water. Considering the quantity of
water obtained from this, the water from the bore-wells is very less. But due to the mind-set of
a few stake-holder’s, the existing bore-wells have been taken as the source of water too. After a
few years when the acceptance for water from stakeholders for Narmada Canal water coming
from Pethapur Waterworks treatment plant is achieved, it may be made the only source of
water. Further designs have been done keeping this factor into consideration.
As it is currently, water from borewell-1 and 2 shall be used in Zone-2 and bore-well 3 shall be
used in Zone-1 which includes Kubernagar, the area where water from here goes at present.
7.4 STORAGE
The water from connection from Narmada canal shall be supplied and stored in a high ground
level reservoir. From this reservoir this water will be sent to a sump in Zone-2 and to an ESR for
the same zone. Water from the borewell-3 will be pumped directly to ESR in zone-1 and
supplied from there. The water from borewell 1 and 2 will be supplied directly to a new ESR in
zone-2. The water in each zone will flow in the distribution system from the ESR of the
respective zones.
The timings for supply of water from Pethapur Waterworks is 7am to 1pm and 4pm to 10 pm.
The HGLR has been designed to take water from Pethapur Waterworks and to send it to sump
inZone-2 and the ESR in zone-1
Assumed time for supply to the sump is the same as the inflow and to the ESR is 5 am to 10 am
and 4pm to 9pm. The required capacity of HGLR is 14, 00,000 l.
For the sump in Zone-2, the time for inflow is 7am to 1pm and 4pm to 10 pm and it is supplied
to the ESR from 6am to 11am and 4pm to 9pm. The capacity of required sump turns out to be
13, 90,000 l.
Page 91
Group – 6
SBST, CEPT UNIVERSITY.
WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL
For ESR for Zone-1, the time for inflow is 5 am to 10 am and 4pm to 9pm and outflow is 5am to
9am and 4pm to 8pm. And its required capacity is 6, 00,000 l.
For ESR of Zone-2, the time for inflow is from 6am to 11am and 4pm to 9pm and time for
outflow is 6am to 10am and 4pm to 8pm. The capacity of this required ESR is 8, 95,000l.

The total pipeline length of the new proposed design is around 8006 m. out of this 4863 m long
is the sub main line length while the main line length is 3143 m, the pipe diameter for main
line is 150mm while the sub main line has 110 mm diameter. The networking was done based
on the existing road layout; both internal and main roads were taken into account. It shows
only two sources of distribution, both having a sump and an ESR for distribution of water.

Assuming pipe length = 5m (length of pipe between sump and over head tank)
Hydraulic gradient, S = 1:100
From Hazen William’s formula,
V = 4.567 /1000 x C x D0.63 x S0.54
V – Velocity of the fluid flowing through the pipe
C – Hazen Williams coefficient for PVC = 150
D – Internal Diameter of the pipe
S – Hydraulic Gradient
Further for distribution of water from ESR to the households, a sample for zone 1 is prepared as
Shown in ANNEXURE C using LOOP, which gives entire details for pipe lines in zone 1. The final
result obtained is

Pump selection
HP = Q x H/75xή
ή = 65% efficiency
Therefore, HP = 68.95 x 22.77/ (75 x 0.65)
= 30 HP
Hence the calculation above shows that 30 HP pump would be sufficient in each zone for
transmitting water from HGLR to ESR 1 or from sump to ESR 2 respectively.

It shows that water from Narmada is supplied to PethapurTreatment plant, which has a
capacity of 36 MLD/ day, it is then transferred to the HGLR of 14 lakh litres, which is used by the
ESR of zone 1 having capacity of 6,00,000 litres. Water from the HGLR is then supplied to the
sump of capacity 13, 90,000 litres, from where it is used by ESR having capacity of 8, 95,000
litres.

8- BLOCK COST
For the new efficient water supply system, we propose that theGaamtal area should be divided
into two zones. The reason behind distributing in two zones is the topographical differences
between the two areas, which mean the combined area having elevation ranging from 74 to 78
m. is categorized under zone 1 while the combined area having elevation ranging from 72 to 76
m. is categorized under zone 2. Also this could reduce the present prevailing political issues
regarding water supply in the village. According to the new zoning system the 761.40 hectares
is divided into two zones of 304.56 hectares and 456.84 hectares respectively which are shown
in Fig. 51.
8.2.2.1Construction Cost
To arrive at the block cost of sump and ESR, block cost values of various capacities are
taken and plottedto generate the trend and from that the cost of the sump and ESR of the
required capacity are calculated.

The cost of HGLR is considered 20% less than that of the sump as no excavation or shoring is
required which reduces the construction cost of 14,00,000 litres HGLR to Rs 16,80,000/-
All the block costs of ESR are of constant head of26 20m from the ground.

CALULATION
The chlorination pumps are established with the bore well because water from Pethapur
treatment plant will not require any further treatment. Hence reducing the cost of water
treatment in the village, Apart from this 3 submersible pump will be required for village, one for
each bore well, which will require replacement after 15 years. Similarly, 2 electric motor, 4 soft
starter panels will be replaced after 15 years.

The proposed designed system would be requiring minimum of four working staff, 2 linesman
and 2 security guards. One pair on each Zone ( as per CPHEEO manual).
The staff salaries are calculated by cumulative of Compound interest by an escalation of 2% (as
informed by WASMO officials).
Now, based on the above analysis, the onetime investment cost turns out to be Rs. 1, 38,

9- FEASIBILITY
As per the Sector reform Yojana, 90% of the cost for establishing new sump, ESR and HGLR will
be funded by WASMO. Therefore:
Hence, the amount to be borne by the people for this is Rs. 13, 29,200, so based on the
population of 2013 when the proposed system will be functioning; an individual has to bear Rs.
74.42 for construction of fixed components.
• The total amount to be borne by the Panchayat which shall be collected in the form of
water tax is Rs.20,23, 40, 665.
Now, for calculation population after every five year has been calculated as shown below:
The population for the village is considered to be the same for a period of 5 years like from
Now for the base year it is assumed that the property tax is Rs. 90 per year
Here, it is assumed that in every year 50% of the people pay the older value of tax and 50% pay
the new increased value.
