CONTIGENCY PLAN -2013

Contingency Plan 2013 NSUSC

North Sindh Urban Services Corporation (NSUSC) is mandated for water supply, sewerage and solid waste services as per Govt of Sindh notification. The company is register under companys ordinance 1984 www.nsusc.org.pk . Sukkur is also operational areas of NSUSC. The outline of the Contingency Plan as required by the Provisional Disaster Management Authority, through District Disaster Management Authority via their letter No 1GB /457 of 2013 dt 8 Feb 2013 received in Director Operations Office on 18 Feb 2013. The required input based on risk assessment and outline given is presented below.

Hazard Analysis based on history and lesson


NSUSC faced Monsoon as a high probability risk to inundate the urban properties. Historically, heavy rains brought by the monsoon have caused extensive flooding events in low elevation parts of Sukkur, every year, usually in August, often lasting in excess of a week.

Lesson learnt
In 2012, the quantity of rainfall during the last week of August was exceptionally high throughout North Sindh. The affected areas and the severity of the flooding are shown on a map appended to this note. NSUSC had put in place preventative measures prior to the arrival of monsoon rain, including de-silting of trunk sewer lines, clearing of nallahs, mobilization of power generators at sensitive locations and ensuring that all pumping assets would be operational. However, floods occurred in large parts of the city and, although dewatering equipment was used in all flooded areas, flood water did not recede in some parts for up to three days. It should be noted that the sewerage system in Sukkur is not designed to cater for the full extent of heavy monsoon rain, although the partial commissioning of the wastewater Megaproject executed by PHED has significantly improved the overall storm water transfer capacity out of the city through combined sewer lines. However the benefits of the new Megaproject trunk sewers are limited in urban parts where pre-existing and often undersized sewers still constitute the wastewater collection system.

Identification of Vulnerable Points


Attached as Monsoon Flood Mapping Identification of sensitive locations

The experience of past heavy rainfall events, in various catchments of Sukkur, have shown the following disposal stations (DS) to be critical: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Waspur DS, Bakhar DS, Jail Garden DS, Shalimar DS and Miani DS.

Plan for 2013


General recommendations The focus of the preventative measures is clearly to be put on the disposal stations, particularly the critical facilities identified. It is essential that all pumps and motors are operational during the rain. Standby pumps are also to be put on line when water levels rise in the wet wells of disposal stations, Provide the forced mains have the capacity to take on additional flows and are in sufficiently good conditions so that no burst occurs. The modus operandi for the adjunction of standby pumps to the disposal process should be based on hydraulic calculations and in situ tests prior to the rainy season. The availability of operational generator sets at critical disposal stations is therefore equally essential. A sufficient number of spare motors with the appropriate range of power capacities should be kept in stores to cover for possible motor failure at all five critical disposal stations, and other sites. All wet wells are to be desilted prior to the rains, at all disposal stations, in order to increase local storage capacity and thus increase response time to incidents that may affect pumping. Staff is trained for Disel Generator and dewatering Sety Operations Manager Sukkur has Mobile with internet access and 4x4 Desilting of all nallah E&M of the Disposal Stations are ready Fuel are store and continuity is established

Limitation
Regarding the sewer network, there is a structural limitation to what can be achieved without further investment, if the transfer capacity in insufficient. However, areas with a high risk of flooding are known and systematic desilting of sewer lines is to be carried out in and downstream of these areas.
