NATIONAL DRINKING WATER PROJECT

PROJECT REPORT

I.INTRODUCTION

1.0  India is a vast country with a large population of more than 120 crores of people. It measures 3214 Km N to S and 2933 Km E to W. N-S-E-W corridor is the largest ongoing Highway project in India. National Development Highways Development Project (NHDP) which is II Phase of 7300 Km of 4/6 Lane Express ways connecting Srinagar-kanyakumari-Porbandar-Silchar at a cost of US$12,317 Billion (at 1999 prices) As of 2015 March 6375 of 7142 Km Completed. This project enables India  to transport agricultural and Industrial products to various parts of the country to fullfill the needs of our people.

1.1 Equally important or even more is the need of Drinking water for our vast population throughout India. Recently is a meeting of the CII at New Delhi in the last week of  September, the President of Nithi Aayog had warned our Government that in future Drinking Water supply to our people will be a major issue.

1.2 India has a number of major Rivers and Dams located at various parts of India. All the Dams are impounding River waters and the stored waters are distributed mostly for Irrigation and industrial purposes. Only 4% of the stored waters are distributed for Drinking purposes. Most of our people do not get sufficient safe Drinking water including water for Domestic use and sanitation. This factor is one of the major causes of health problems manifesting in India.

1.3 The impounded Dam waters are pollution free, available for consumption as Drinking water is available throughout the year. This project aims at utilizing Dam Waters by our people throughout the length & Breadth of our Nation, N-S-E-& W.

1.4 This Drinking water scheme Unite our people  living in various parts of India irrespective of different castes, creeds, language, religion and culture and geographical locations by drinking water attained from various rivers through Dams flowing through various states of India. It will be an important National Achievement next to bringing all the princely states into Indian told by Sardar Vallabai Patel.

1.5 It will be the Primary duty of our Central Government needed by our belowed Honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji to bring together all the States in our country for the primary welfare of our people by giving safe Drinkling water free of cost

2.THE PROJECT

2.1 As per National Rural Drinking water Programme (NRDWP) of the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Govt of India, Guideline 2013, as interim measure, fixed a norm for supply of 55 Litres per capita per day (LPCD) for humans to meet the following requirements.

Purpose                                 Quantity

                                                  lpcd

1.Drinking                                   -         3

2.Cooking                                   -         5

3.Bathing                                    -         15  states can assess higher norms

4.Washing utensils and house       -         10

5.Ablution/Toilets                       -         10

6.Washing Clothes & other uses   -         12

                              Total            -         55 lpcd for safe drinking water and

Basic sanitation for Rural Areas

2.2 For URBAN WATER SUPPLY

The Norms by Govt is 135 lpcd, but scaled down to 100 lpcd.

2.3 URBAN & RURAL POPULATION OF INDIA

          Urban – 31.16%

            Rural  - 68.84% - of 120 Crore Indian population.

                          Rural population = 120 x 68.84% = 82,60,80,000

                          Urban population = 120 x 31.16% = 37,39,20,000

2.4 WATER REQUIRED – As per Govt Norms

          For Rural Population @ 55 lpcd    = 4,54,34,400 KL

          For Urban Population @ 100 lpcd = 3,73,92,000KL

Total Qty of water required

per day for entire population        =  8,28,26,400 KL say 8,30,00,000kl per day

1 KL = 1000 Litres = 1 Cubic Metre by volume.

Volume of Reservoir Required to store per day

      8,30,00,000 KL of water @ 1cum/1KL = 8,30,00,000 CUM /  Per day supply

2.5. RESERVOIR CONTOUR LEVELS

It is an RCC Closed contour conduit reservoir or water storage tank in two loops one in the  North and the other in south India, south of Vindhyas.

The contour lines altitudes are so assessed taking into consideration the following factors.

1.     The altitudes of chosen Dams at Bed Levels and Dead storage level.

2.     The altitudes of major areas of India where major cities and towns are located.

3.     The altitudes of lands lying along a contour line down the hills where the canal reservoir can be constructed at ground level.

2.6.CLOSED CONTOUR CANAL RESERVOIR ALIGNMENT

On observing the topo maps available through Google maps, approximate contour lines of the chosen altitudes as discussed in 2.5, mostly down the hill ranges in the north(Himalayas) East (Eastern Ghats) West (Western Ghats) and South (both along East and western Ghats) are fixed and loop lines are drawn one in the north and another in the South. One is Nort of Vidhya and another in South of india ranges. Both the loops are linked together at East and West suitable locations at the ends of Vindhyas at Satpura ranges.

2.7. The altitiude of the northern loop is so fixed tentatively to be below Bhakra Nangal Dam (Altitude and 326 m above msl) and tehri Dam (618m) and above the altitudes of several cities and towns of north India. It is fixed at 300m above MSL.

The altitude of southers loop is so fixed tentatively below south indian Dams Mullai periayar(881m), KRS (791m), kaveri(1276 m), Linganamakkal(Sharavathi 554), Idukki(732) and Manimuthar(1000 m) and above the cities and towns of South India. It is 500m above MSL.

2.8. LENGTH OF CLOSED CONTOUR CANAL RESERVOIRS

                          The lengths of Northern and Southern loops of canals are approximately assessed taking into the distances between cities and towns located near the canals.

North:- Distance between in KM            South Dist.between in KM

          Bhakta – Jodhpur-        807                    Kerala and 2 Links  -         1071

Jodhur-Indore-              675                    Nasihk – Dhanbad   -         1722

          Indore – Lucknow-        785                    Dhanabad – Vellore -         1790

          Lucknow –Chadigarh-  781          Vellore-Tirunelveli  -         0559

                          Total       -    3048KM  Tirunelveli-Coimbatore-    0353

                                                            Coimbatore-Nashik -         1305

                                                                      Total-                     6800 KM

                             

Total length of both loop N & S   =        9848   or say 10,000 kms

2.9. CONTOUR CANAL SECTION-TO BE USED AS ROAD

                          As per page 2 para 2.4

Volume of reservoir required for 100 Cr population per day supply = 8,30,00,000  CUM.

          The closed contour canal servoir is cast with reinforced cement concrete with Rectangular section with assumed inner dimensions 20x2.4m.

For 1 km length of canal, the internal volume=20x2.4x1000m = 48,000 CuM.

                          It can store water 48000x1000=48,000 KL.

Total length of 2 loops of canal = 10,000 km.

                          Capacity of 10,000km length of canal reservoirs

                                        48,000KL/1 km x 10,000 km = 48 Crore KL

Requirement of water for 100 Cr people per day supply=8.3Cr KL/ Per day.

10,000 km length of both canal reservoirs can supply water for

 48/8.3=5.78 or 6 days.

The reservoir can store water for about 6 days supply.

Incidentally since both are closed canal reservoirs, the top cover slab and other concrete  sections can be so designed to takeup loads from transport vehicles and can be  used as a 4 lane transport corridor along the foot hills of the mountain ranged.

3. PROJECT ESTIMATE

3.1. RATE FOR CONSTRUCTION

          The cost of construction of 1KM length of N.H. Road in 2011 ranged between rs 18 to 20 Lakhs. Per lane width of 3.5 m.

The closed canal reservoir has 2 No’s RCC slabs one at bottom and the other at the top cover and also 2 Nos side walls with intermediate RCC colums to takeup moving traffic loads. The cost will be double  per lane width  during 2018 ie Rs40 Lakhs for NH and 4 times ie Rs. 80 Lakhs per lane width of 3.5 m per 1 km length of RCC canal reservoir.

For 4 lane traffic, Total width of  road required as pe IRC standard is 23.5 .

However for our canal width(Outer), we take 4x3.5 + Central median and side birms = 6m makes total width 20m.

It is approximately 6 times of traffic lane width.

                          Cost of 1 km for 1 lane width = Rs.80Lakhs

                          Cost of 1 km for 6 lane width = 6x80=Rs.4.80 Crores/1 Km

Total length of 2 loops of closed contour RCC canal reservoirs

 running in north and South India = 10,000 kms

Total cost of construction of above canal reservoir

 Rs.4.80 Crx10,000                                                   = 48,000 Crs

Add 15% for survey, Design and supervision

 of Construction  48,000 x 0.15                                       =   7200

Add contingencies and PS charges 5%                        =   2400

Total cost of the Project in 2018                                 = 57,600

 Add cost escalation during next 5 years 25%              = 14,400

 Total Budget Estimate of the Project                     =  Rs.72,000 Crs

 Rupees Seventy two Thousand Crores.

4.FINANCE BY CENTRAL GOVT

4.1 The entire cost of construction of 10000 kms length of closed contour canal RCC Reservoir in 2 loops in North and South India through various states and provide pollution free clear water from various dams at the threshold of the states free of cost to states will be borne by the central govt.

5.FINANCE BY STATE GOVTS

5.1 PLANNING /DISTRIBUTION

                          The respective state Govt. should employ their own technical team to survey, design and plan various schemes to draw water available free of cost at appropriate locations from the closed canal Reservoirs, take them to various cities, towns and villages through gravity flow pipelines, filter store in appropriate local UG tanks, treat them and supply to public safe Drinking water all the 365 days in a year free of cost. The entire cost of receiving water from central reservoir  and distribute  treated water to public should be borne by the respective state Govt.

6.CONCLUSION

6.1  It is the duty of both Central and State Govts. to supply safe Drinking water daily for Drinking, Domestic uses and sanitation free of cost . Just like food Security is provided to our people through the National Food Security Act 2013 passed by our Parliament which became Law of our land on 12 September 2013, a similar Act can be passed in the parliament as the National Drinking Water Security Act 2017.

6.2 The Project work can be taken up immediately on a war footing simultaneously by both central and state govts. The works can be splitup into several segments throughout India and executed simultaneously to complete the project before end of 2022. If there is a will, there is a way. We have tremendous man power, technical, skilled and unskilled with necessary material and machinery support from our own industrial manufacturing sector to support and implement the scheme in time. Necessary Financial support may be available from local taxes and International Financial Agencies. Let us unite our people by uniting Drinking water drawn from various Rivers and Dams in India, North, East, West and South.
