WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL

1-SELECTION OF VILLAGE

1.1 SCOPE OF STUDY:


Locating a suitable site with the population up to 10,000 souls which has an acute water supply
and quality issues and which requires a new water treatment and supply system in order to
eradicate the water related problems.

1.2 METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY:


For the town short listing initially Internet and the government agencies located in Gandhinagar
were approached to gather the basic details of towns having water related issues. The process
of short listing goes in this manner, initially we approached GWSSB (Gujarat Water Supply and
Sewerage Board) who gave us the names of the talukas, and towns where water related
problems were identified, and then we visited WASMO (Water and Sanitation Management
Organisation) which works at village level for household supply, from here we gather the
information and water related status of the villages, and at the end we visited GUDA (Gujarat
Urban Development Authority) who gave us the village details.

1.3 LIMITATION OF STUDY:


The site selection is based on the secondary data obtained from the agencies and not on the
primary data collected from the village. Also the selection has been limited to the Central
Region i.e. in a radius of 50 km as the study had to be carried out on a regular basis. We took
Gandhinagar district as our boundary for study and we shortlisted some of the towns from the
district and carried out the comparitative analysis for their selection. We kept only those towns
into our consideration which have population greater than 6000 souls, as areas having less
population than this has less feasibility for project designing.

1.4 SCENARIO IN GUJARAT


According to the present scenario of Gujarat state, some areas viz. (North state borderline
areas, Rajkot & Jamnagar District, Central Region, &Panchmahal) have been identified which
have scarce water supply. Moreover the state has faced three drought years in the last decade.
Gandhinagardistrict which lies in the central region has an population growth of 12.15 percent
in the last decade and due to this water demand is increased which is generally fulfilled by bore
wells as Naramdawater is not accessible in far by rural areas, as a result of which water table is
also going down, though it increases because of 15000 check dams which were built during last
two years.1

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

1.5 SELECTION PROCESS


1.5.1 REASONS FOR SELECTING GANDHINAGAR DISTRICT

Figure 1: GROUND WATER FEASIBILITY


3Figure 1 shows that Gandhinagar district is the over exploited area. Here the population
density is more. This creates a greater water demand; hence sufficient supply system must be
implemented to eradicate the probable problems. Also since gandhinagar is developing a
higher rate, so future demands also increases for which the system is not designed
for.Gandhinagar is the only city in the country which uses maximum water which is about 330
litres/ day according to Asian development bank report.Also the district has fluoride content up
to 1.6mg/l. But as per IS 10500 (1991) guidelines, permissible limit of fluoride content in
potable water is 1.5mg/l .Hence further problem is increased.4

TDS CONTENT

Figure 2: TDS levels

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.

1.5.2 SELECTION OF GANDHINAGAR TALUKA

Figure 3 District map of Gujarat

Figure 1 show that Gandhinagar District comprises of four talukas, viz. (Gandhinagar,
Kalol,Dehgam& Mansa). This district witnesses average rainfall of 667 mm. The district has four
rivers to supply water viz. (Sabarmati, Khari, Vatrak, Meshvo), The Population of the district
is13, 87,478 (As per 2011 census) which is 20th highest population in the state. It has a
Population density of 660 person/ sq.km which is 4th highest in the state.6

We selected GandhinagarTaluka because of the recent statements given by the CM, stating
that Gandhinagar will be developed as a world- class city, as he dedicates various new
developments works to the public. In this he laid the foundation for a project for renovating
water supply pipelines in Gandhinagar.7

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.

9Table 1 population growth by various methods

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.

1.7 FINAL SELECTION


Based on the above parameters and justification, Vavol is the most appropriate city as it has
greater scope of study because the town has its own importance because of being adjacent to
the capital city. As a result of which new establishment is taking place.

2.2 HISTORY OF VILLAGE14


During 1347 A.D. it was under the reign of MuhmmadTughlag and governed by Sheikh
Muizauddin. Then during 1411A.D. Mahmud Begda became the Sultan of Gujarat. He made
Ahmadabad his capitol city. Vavol being located near to Ahmadabad and also on the route
to Agra and Delhi, flourished along with Shertha, Randheja and Pethapur.
In 1573 A.D. Emperor Akbar conquered Gujarat and Vavol came under his rule. After
Aurangzeb passed away the old and new governors fought many battles for the rule. The
famous Battles of Adalaj were fought near Vavol. The Kolis of Pethapur fought valiantly
against the Mughals.
In 1758 A.D. the reign was shifted to SadashivRamchandra and DamajiGaekwad from
Mominkhan and the Maratha era began. After India gained freedom, a separate State of
Gujarat came was formed on 1st May 1960. A new capitol was required for the state and so
Gandhinagar city was constructed on the banks of Sabarmati near Vavol.

As shown in the figure 12,Vavol has alluvial formation. Rocky area is not found in this
village. Alluvium thickness is more in this village as it is situated in the western side of the
district. The village has Goradutype of alluvial soil. The Goradusoil is alluvial soil of older
origin and are dark red to red in color. They are very productive. This is reflected in the kind
of crops grown here and the past agricultural occupation at this place.

Figure 12 Seismic Zoning Map of Gujarat16

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.

Figure 16 shows the reservation for various types of uses that are planned in the TPS scheme.

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

3-WATER SUPPLY PROFILE

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

3.2 SOURCE OF WATER


There are two sources of water to the village:

(a)Water coming from Narmada Canal

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

Figure 17: Location of borewells

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.

Figure 18: Borewell 1 located near Gram Panchayat

Page 37

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.

Figure 19: Borewell 2 located near Dhobi Ghat

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

Figure 20: Borewell 3 located at Kubernagar

Page 38

WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL

3.3 STORAGE OF WATER


At present there is one Underground Sump and there are 2 ESRs (Elevated Storage Reservoirs)
at the village. All three of these are located near the borewell-1. The Capacities of the reservoirs
are:

ESR-1: 50,000 litres

ESR-2:1, 40,000litre

Underground Sump: 2, 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.

Figure 21: Elevated Storage Reservoir in Vavol

Page 39

WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL

3.4 TREATMENT OF WATER

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
FULL VILLAGE 5 AM - 7 AM
KUBERNAGAR 7 AM - 9 AM
DEFENCE COLONY 9 AM - 11AM

3.7 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

3.7.1EMPLOYED PEOPLE:GramPanchayathas employed 2 operators to operate the


whole system. One operates the borewell 1 and 2and his salary is Rs 3000/ month while
the other operates the borewell 3 located at Kubernagar and his salary is Rs 1500/
month.

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.

3.8 FINANCES

The total income of Gram PanchayatisRs 53,15,270/ year while its expenditure is Rs
31,34,970/ year so the PanchayatearnsRs 21,80,300/ year approximately.The Gram
PanchayatspentRs 2.99.251 / year which is 9% of the total expenditure. It also collects a
water tax of 90rs per household and so in total generates an income of 1,26,330Rs /
year which is 2% of the total income.

Chart 2: Water Supply Income vsExpanditure

3.9 OTHER ISSUES:


The level of the village has increased due to filling up of lands. This has led to the
lowering of distribution pipes from the surface.
There are no issues related to the quality of water but relating to quantity and pressure
of the water supplied.

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.

4.1.1.2 HOUSEHOLD SURVEY CARRIED OUT AT VAVOL


A household survey was carried out on 21st August 2011 in the village of Vavol stretched over a
span of 6 hours from 10am to 4 pm to find out the issues relating to water supply and other
matters affecting it.

4.1.2 OBJECTIVE

The objectives of the survey are:

 To identify the prevailing issues and problems in water supply


 To have a generalized view of the economic and cultural background of the people
residing in the locality and to establish a pattern in water related issues with respect to
the same.
 To serve as the basis for design of the new water supply system
 To also cross check the authenticity of the data obtained till now
 To support the hypothesis of water requirement in the village
 To understand the level of public awareness, satisfaction and future expectations

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.

WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL

4.1.3 SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF SURVEY


The survey is limited to the Gaamtalonly. The population ofVavol is 15,000 souls residing in the
established 3453 households. The societies which have their own bore-wells and storage tank
and the water is not supplied by the Gram Panchayat have been also included in the study.

The Personal Interview method was used for the survey as it is the most ideal and accurate.

The target population is

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

4.1.4 SAMPLING SIZE:


The sampling can be done through various statistical methods. The sample size also depends
upon the population, type of study, accuracy required for the study etc. The population of
Vavol is currently 15,000 souls and there are 3453 households. The sample size is taken 2% of
the number of households.

4.1.5 DISTRIBUTION OF THE SAMPLE:

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.

4. 2 ANALYSIS

The analysis of the information collected is done under four categories:

1. Demographic Analysis
2. Current Supply Analysis
3. Public Satisfaction Analysis
4. Public Awareness Analysis

4.2.1 DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

4.2.1.1 LITERACY OF FEMALE HEAD OF THE FAMILY


The literacy level of the female head of the house is a very important parameter as in a small
Indian village like Vavol females predominantly carry out the chores and are involved in
housework. This affects the awareness of the female head of the family regarding the system
and the hygiene related issues at domestic level. Figure-1 shows a chart showing the
percentage of women educated corresponding to different levels of education.

WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL

The chart above suggests that women of almost half of the number of houses surveyed are
completely illiterate. 17% of the female heads have attended primary school and 24 % have
attended secondary school also. About 10% of female heads are graduates. It was observed
that this 10 % of female heads were very young and were the ones belonging to a family having
a good financial background (mostly belonging to the Sheikh Vaas area where experienced
people of the village reside).

4.2.1.2 MONTHLY INCOME OF THE PEOPLE

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.

4.2.1.3 SIZE OF FAMILY

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
satisfaction level.

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.

2.1.4 NO. OF FAMILIES WITH DOMESTICATED ANIMALS

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.

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.

4.2.2.2 TIME FOR WATER SUPPLY

The time for water supply in within a zone varied a lot. This may be due to false data given by
people or other issues like poor design, varying elevation etc.

Therefore, this parameter has not been taken into consideration.

4.2.2.3 MAXIMUM WATER USAGE


The maximum water usage for the people is either for sanitation or for their daily household
work like washing clothes, cleaning the house etc.

The people who visit the Dhobighaatto wash the clothes or have established flushing system
have their maximum usage in sanitation.

In DhobiGhaat, in all houses the answer was daily works and in SheikhVaas in all the houses
sanitation takes the highest quantity of water, as they have a stable income and send their
clothes out for washing.

2.2.4 NUMBER OF HOUSES WITH TANKS


The number of houses in an area having tank shows the need to have a water tank to meet
their daily needs of water. It is also a fact that, there are people who need tanks but cannot

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.

4.2.2.6 IN TIMES OF NO SUPPLY OF WATER

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-STAKE HOLDER SURVEY

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)

5.1.2 What is a Stakeholder Survey?

In order to upgrade/design/analyse any system or organisation, it is very important to get the


feedback of the stakeholders of the system as they are important in achieving successful and
realistic outcomes.

Following steps shall be taken to carry out a stakeholder’s survey:

1. Define the objective of the survey

2. Design the survey

3. Identify the stakeholders

4. Market the survey to encourage the participation of the stakeholders

5. Carry out the survey and draw conclusions

5.2: STAKEHOLDERS’ SURVEY FOR VAVOL

5.2.1 Objective of the Stakeholder Survey

The objectives of the Survey were:

1. To check the level of awareness of the stakeholders regarding the current water supply
and needs

2. To identify and prioritise major issues/flaws put forward by the stakeholders

3. To find solutions for the same

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.

Structure and main issues covered in the questionnaire:

1. General information of the stakeholder

2. Their overall outlook of the village

3. Problems and challenges regarding water supply system

 Quality Of Water

 Quantity/Availability Of Water

4. Views on Operation and Maintenance practices

5. Other sensitive issues like biased supply of water, negative political influence on the
system’s efficiency etc.

6. Involvement and participation of the Stakeholder in improvising the system

5.2.3 IDENTIFYING THE STAKEHOLDERS

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.

5.3: OBSERVATIONS OF THE SURVEY


5.3.1 VILLAGE AS A WHOLE

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

 STORAGE AT USERS’ END

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.

5.3.2.2 QUALITY OF WATER

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.

5.3.2.3 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE ISSUES

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.

Page 69

SBST, CEPT UNIVERSITY.
WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL

5.3.3 OTHER PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

 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.

 RAIN WATER HARVESTING

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.

5.4 MEETING BETWEEN WASMO OFFICIAL AND VILLAGE STAKEHOLDERS

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:

1. Kuber Singh Gol (Sarpanch)


2. Rakesh Patel (Tarpoj, Patelvas)
3. Bhartiben Mahesh Nadiya (Harijanvas)
4. AmajiThakor (Thakorvas)
5. Shailsh Patel (Patelvas)
6. VirendraPratapjiGol (Operator)
7. Umarsha Mohammed Dewan (Kubernagar)

9. RajuBhikhabhai Dantani (Vaagharivas)
10. Mohammed Rehman Sheikh (Sheikhvas)
11. Devendra Singh Gol (Darbarvas)
12. Ramesh ShomabhaiRaval (Ravalvas)

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

Figure 41: Meeting between the Stakeholders

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.

Page 72
Group – 6
SBST, CEPT UNIVERSITY.
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.

5.4.5 Sector Reform Yojna and Taxes


When been asked about the taxes, the stakeholders were persistent that all villagers pay
the taxes. Also they informed us that from this year they have increased the property
tax and is now equal to that of Gandhinagar. According to the Sector Reform Yojna, the
Govt. will pay 90% of the expenses while the village i.e. the public has to bear the rest
10% and generate a public fund for it. Here but the issue is that the GramPanchayat is
capable enough to bear these expense but they cannot pay as the people are not
contributing to the public fund.

Chapter 6: Gap Analysis

Page 74
Group – 6
SBST, CEPT UNIVERSITY.
WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL

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.

The basic parameters considered for the gap analysis are:

1. Quantity
2. Quality
3. Pressure
4. Finances
5. Miscellaneous

From which the gap in following can be established:

1. Source
2. Storage
3. Treatment
4. Distribution

6.1.1 Need for New System


The current system was designed for the demand of 10, 17,736 litres but right now the demand
is 12, 10,000 litres plus losses. So this system has failed in the year 2008 and a new system is
needed.

6.1.2 Design Period for the New System


As per the CPHEEO manual on Water Supply and Treatment, water supply system is usually
designed for a period of thirty years starting from the year when the system is functional.

The time lag between the time of designing and project completion is usually taken 2-5 years.

Design year: 2011

Assumed time lag between designing and project completion: 2 years

Year when the proposed project will be functional: 2013

Final year till when the proposed system will be adequate: 2043

6.1.3 POPULATION AND WATER DEMAND


6.1.3.1 POPULATION
The major change which will create severe future water problems is the growth in population.
Usually for a village population is projected by using the following methods:

(a) Arithmetical Progression Method


In arithmetical progression method, the average increase of population is calculated from the
past records and added to the last census population to find out the population in the next
decade. This method gives low value and is suitable for well settled and established
communities.

(b) Geometric Progression Method


In geometrical progression method, percentage increase in arithmetical increment is assumed
to be the rate growth and the average of percentage is increased is use to find out future
increment in population. This method gives much higher value and it is mainly applicable for
growing town and cities having vast scope for expansion.

(c) Incremental Increase Method


In incremental increase method a progressively decreasing or increasing rather than
concentrate is adopted. This is a modification over the arithmetical progression method. In this
method, the increment in arithmetical increase is determined from the past decades and the
average of that increment is added to the average increase.

(d) Geometric Ratio Method


Geometric ratio method is similar to Geometric Progression method. Geometric ration of
consecutive decadal population are form an averaged out. Future population is forecast by
compounding the latest population using the above geometric ratio. In another version of the
method, only the latest geometrical ration is considered for forecasting future population.

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).

ForVavol which is a village at a developing stage, population projection on the basis of


population density and FSI (Floor Space Index) would give the most accurate result.

Here, the forecast has been done on the basis of population density.

Page 76

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).

Table 15: Density for given size of town

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.

Therefore, area for projection = 70% of 761.3435 hectare

= 532.9404 hectare

Hence, population of Vavolin 2043 = Area available for residing × Density in souls/hectare

= 532.9404 × 180 = 95,930 souls

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.

6.1.4 WATER DEMAND


The per capita demand in the year 2013 is considered as 70 lpcd as there is no drainage system
in the village but in the year 2028 and 2043 it is considered to be 135 lpcd assuming that
drainage system will be installed by that time. The rise in water demand will be as given below.
This demand considers the per capita demand as well as the 15% UFW (Unaccounted for
Water).

Hence, the demand in 2043 will be ((135lpcd × 95,930souls)×1.15) which is 1,48,93,200 litre per
day.

GAP IN THE SOURCE

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).
The obtained values are:

Bore-well 1 (near the present sump) : 3,53,808 lpd

Bore-well 2 (Dhobighaat) :2,86,720 lpd

Bore-well 2 (Kubernagar) : 3,77,210 lpd

Now, the ultimate demand is 1, 48, 93,200lpd.

6.1.5 STORAGE
Current system has two one functional ESR of 1, 40,000 L capacity and a sump of 3,20,000 l. At
present only the ESR is in use. According to CPHEEO manual, any village should have enough
storage to store water equal to one day’s requirement. Hence, for the ultimate year there
should be storage for 1, 48, 93,200l.The storage system is short of the requirement by 1, 47,

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.

6.1.8 RAIN WATER HARVESTING SYSTEM

17%
YES
NO
83%

Figure 47: Houses doing Rain Water Harvesting

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

Page 86
Group – 6
SBST, CEPT UNIVERSITY.
WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL

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.

7.1 REQUIREMENTS OF THE NEW SYSTEM


As mentioned in the gap analysis, the base year for the new system is taken 2013 i.e. it is
assumed that the new system will be in use from then. The new system shall serve for a period
of 30 years i.e. till the year 2043. The water needs are as follows:

Water Need

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.

Page 89
Group – 6
SBST, CEPT UNIVERSITY.
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.

Refer Annexure A for elevation spots in each zone.

7.3 SOURCE OF WATER


Currently, there are three bore-wells in the village which are in use for 10 hours a day. The
village is short of the water from the source by 1,38,75,460 litre per day. Hence, we are short
of source for supply. Vavol falls in region of overexploited water supply. Hence, it the idea of
having new borewell was not considered. The village already has a connection for water from
Narmada Canal under the SujalamSufalamYojana.

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.

The cover for pipeline is kept 1m (as recommended in CPHEEO Manual)

WATER SUPPLY PROJECT- VAVOL

7.5.1 PIPES FOR HGLR, SUMP TO ESR


Selection of pipe diameter

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

7.5.2 FOR ESR TO HOUSEHOLD

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

Internal diameter 83.2 mm = 3853 m

Internal diameter 102.0 mm = 64 m

Internal diameter 129.7 mm = 65 m

Internal diameter 160.0 mm = 52 m

The details are shown in the layout.

7.6 OTHER COMPONENTS


7.6.1PUMP SELECTION
Selection of pressure class

Total head (H) = h1 + h2+ 10%x (h1 + h2)


Where, h1 = height of tank
And h2 = frictional loss
= 20 + 0.7 + 2.07
= 22.77

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.

Apart from this following components shall be provided:

 Line Valves :8 number


 Soft Starter Panel : 4 number
2 for every 15 years at Sump and HGLR
 Electric Motor with the Pump: 4 number
 Pumping Station: 2 no- one for each zone
 Chlorination Pump: 3 no- one at each borewell
Water from the Pethapur Treatment Plant is already chlorinated, so such a pump is
provided at each bore-well. The life of such a pump is 15 years. Only three pumps for a
period of 15 years are considered as it is assumed that bore-wells wont be in use soon.

7.7 PROPOSED DESIGN

Figure 51: Proposed Design Flowchart

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

8.1 PROPOSED SYSTEM

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 BLOCK COST


8.2.1 Land for establishing system
The system does not require any expense on land because the proposed establishment in zone
1 will be done in the same place where the existing system exists. And the new proposed
establishment for zone 2 is already a government owned property (having survey number 1140)
which can be availed by the water supply board. Hence investment on land is not an extra
expense for the new system.

8.2.2SUMP, HGLR and ESR

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.

NOTE: -

1- As the size increases cost litre reduces.


2- Cost of HGLR is 20% less than that of sump as no excavation or shoring is required which
reduces the construction cost.
3- Increase in the maintenance is taken 6% per annum which is the minimum inflation.

Hence, for construction of infrastructure works will cost Rs. 1, 17, 80,000 which is a
onetime investment and maintenance will cost Rs.16,96,000 at the end of 30 years,
which has to be recovered through taxes annually

Note:

Here, operating cost is based on the electricity consumption by the component depending on
its capacity and efficiency.

CALULATION

HP X 746 X 12 X 30/ 1000 = KWh x unit rate of electricity

The rate of electricity is increased every 5 year by escalation in price of 6%.

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.

8.5 OPERATION COST - MANPOWER

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).

STAFF NUMBERS PRESENT SALARY CUMULATIVE SALARY AFTER 30


YEARS
Operator 2 3000 30,51,320
Security Guard 2 1500 15,25,66030
Table 24: Salaries of Staff

The staff salaries are calculated by cumulative of Compound interest by an escalation of 2% (as
informed by WASMO officials).

Therefore, from the above calculations it can be concluded that:

Serial Subject Initial Cost Operation and


No. Maintenance Cost
1 Sump, ESR1, ESR2, HGLR, Distribution 1,32,92,000 16,96,000

2 Other Components (pump, motor etc) 5,23,000 3,48,65,000
3 Manpower (Employed Staff) - 45,76,980
4 Total 1,38,25,000 2,72,31,320
Table 25: Operation & Maintenance Cost

Now, based on the above analysis, the onetime investment cost turns out to be Rs. 1, 38,
54,509 and annual operation and maintenance cost turns out to be Rs. 2, 71, 53,189at the end
of 30 years.

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:

Serial Amount Paid By Amount


No.
1 WASMO (90% of1,32,92,000 ) 1,19,62,800
2 Gram Panchayat (10% of 1,32,92,000 ) 13,29,200
Table 26: Funding

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:

Year Population No. Of Households


2013 15,227 3045
2018 30,549 6110
2023 44,698 8940

2038 83,962 16792
2043 95,929 19186
Table 27: Populations at every 5 years

The population for the village is considered to be the same for a period of 5 years like from

2013 to 2018, 2018 to 2023, 2023 to 2028 and so on.

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.

Now, this amount shall be recovered from property tax. In the year 2010, the income from
property tax was Rs.28,00,000. Taking average value of property tax from this.

We get 28,00,000/(15,000/5)= Rs. 933
