Drinking water by presence of excess Arsenic, excess Fluoride
and excess Chloride to of rural population and of the
urban population of the State.
31% 53%
The State Government is determined to provide safe drinking
water to all the inhabitants of the state during the eleventh plan
period. This would be achieved by tapping sustainable sources
and implementing piped water supply projects wherever feasible
and spot tubewells in other areas. Efforts are being made to
increase the number of schemes based on non-conventional
sources like rainwater, ponds, abandoned open cast mines and
springs in hill areas.
h e We s t B e n g a l
Government is providing T
adequate and safe drinking
water to of the rural
population. This has been
achieved by implementing
piped water supply
schemes and spot
sources. Similarly, of
the urban population in
municipalities (including
KMD area) is covered by
piped water supply scheme.
Since , Piped Water
Supply Schemes (PWSS)
have received the much

COVERAGE OF HABITATION
A comprehensive country-wide survey was conducted in
1991-92 to ascertain the status of drinking water availability on
habitation basis. In the survey, habitations were identified in three
categories, namely NC (Not Covered having supply of less than 10
litre per capita per day), PC (Partially Covered having supply of 10-
40 litre per capita per day) and FC (Fully Covered having supply of
40 litre per capita per day or above).
Result of the survey for the State of West Bengal were as below
Total Number of Habitation 79036
of which
FC 45057
PC 31699
NC 2280
Action plans was undertaken to cover the NC and PC
habitation on priority basis and by the year 2003-2004 all such
habitation were covered.
Meanwhile another habitation survey was conducted in the
year 2003 to assess and review the effects of efforts so far
undertaken.
The major findings of the survey in the State of West Bengal
was :-
Number of habitation has increased to 96265 from 79036 due
to formation of new habitation.
Many of the fully covered habitation has slipped back to
Partially covered and Not covered category due to
Source going dry
System outliving their life
System not functioning for inadequate operation &
Maintenance
Sources becoming quality affected.

Since 1.04.05, habitations having problem was categorized as
slipped back habitation and quality affected habitation. As on
1.4.05, there were 10608 nos. of slipped back habitations, and
18424 nos. of quality affected habitations. Coverage of these
habitations has been taken up from 2005-06.
WATER QUALITY
The reliance of drinking water supply in the State is mainly on
ground water. The ground water in some parts of the State is
presently contaminated with excess Arsenic, excess fluoride and
excess salinity.
Arsenic in ground water in 8(eight) district is the major
quality problem in the State. So far, the Sate Govt. has provided
arsenic free potable drinking water supply to population of
lakh (Census 2001), which constitutes around % of the total
risk population, by various short, medium and long term
measures. So far, the State Govt. has spent Crore
towards arsenic mitigation measures out which Govt. of India's
contribution are Rs. 692.66 Crore.
It has been observed that a large nos of arsenic affected
people both in rural & urban areas have recovered after
consuming arsenic free safe drinking water.

The State Govt. is now implementing the master plan and it
has taken steps to cover all the arsenic affected and surrounding
villages by arsenic free potable drinking water under the Bharat
Nirman programme by the year 2011. The action plan envisages
349 nos. of Piped Water Supply Schemes in order to cover 3413
villages benefitting a design population of 165.90 lakh. The
estimated cost of the works involved in Master Plan is Rs. 2503.64
Crores.
Flouride contamination is a recent phenomenon in the State.
As per sample survey conducted in this regard, 225 villages in 43
blocks of 7 districts were found to contain fluoride in ground water
beyond permissible limit. Presently, a programme of testing of all
the tubewells in identified blocks is being carried out under J oint
Plan of Action with UNICEF. A Master Plan for coverage of all the
fluoride affected habitations is under preparation.
The ground water in coastal area in southern part of the state
is saline in nature. The ground water is supplied here by judicious
selection of non saline aquifer, restricting the rate of drawal and
sometime by drawing water from non saline area through
pipelines. Pond based water supply arrangement with proper
treatment is gradually coming up in these areas. Membrane based
desalination plant has also been installed in one area of North 24-
Parganas District. PHE Department had taken up 262 rural piped
water supply schemes in the saline belt of North 24 Parganas,
South 24 Parganas, Purba Medinipur and Howrah Districts. 238 of
them have been commissioned upto 31.03.2009.

SCHOOL WATER SUPPLY
As per record there were 20908 nos. of sourceless schools in
West Bengal. Out of these 17179 nos and 541 nos of source have
already been created by PHE Deptt. And DGHC respectively upto
31.03.2009.
Fund has been released to respective Zila Parisads for
creating sources in the balance 3188 nos of Schools.
The State Government is also ready to implement the
J almani programme under which all the Water Quality affected
tubewells will be covered with stand alone water purification
system.
URBAN WATER SUPPLY
There are 85 municipal towns in non-KMD part of the State.
Piped Water Supply Schemes have been extended to each of them
by the P.H.E. Department. However, there is deficiency in service
level and also in coverage by distribution network. By 31.03.2009,
population coverage in Non-KMD municipal areas has reached
88.60%. At present, major augmentation have been taken up in
Kulti, J amuria, Siliguri and Raniganj municipalities.

PHE Department is capable to take up the challenge of very
quick restoration of flood damages to the water supply
installations. The Department has already 5(five) Mobile Treatment
Unit in its possession which are utilized for supply of safe drinking
water during disaster. Recently, a new Mobile Treatment Unit with
the provision of instant packaging of treated water in polythene
packet has been procured by PHE Department which will be
extremely beneficial in providing and distributing safe drinking
water to the suffering people during flood and other natural
calamities.
The Government of West Bengal has recently worked on a war
footing in the flood affected areas of District Purniya , Bihar by
distributing about 50000 drinking water pouches with the help of
Mobile Treatment Unit.
DISASTER MANAGEMENT
DISASTER MANAGEMENT

AI LA -On 25th May 2009, a cyclonic storm termed as Aila,
thrashed the southern Bengal causing displacement of almost 3
million people from their homes and death tolls more than 200
people. Sunderbans being the coastal region have been affected
most severely for the obvious reason. Not only there were human
death but damage to the flora and fauna have also occurred to a
large extent. Thousands of homes have been damaged and people
took shelter in nearby schools and Panchayat offices. There was an
acute shortage of food, drinking water and clothes. As the water
was receding in some villages gastroenteritis began to rear its ugly
head.
To asses the extent of damage and for taking remedial measures
thereof, officials of PHE Department. visited Cyclone hit areas in
several occasions, and also stayed back in those areas in
temporary any camps. Assessment of damage was not easier
initially as the entire area was inundated by the flood water.
However as the water started receding and the area became
approachable, officials of PHED rushed over there and started
working in full swing standing neck to neck with the civil
administration and other line departments to combat this
devastation.
Assessment of damage in Aila affected areas of North 24 Parganas
and South 24 parganas District have been made with respect to the
extent of damages occurred to the different piped water supply
schemes and its components. It is found that tube wells and pump
houses have been inundated and submerged, power connection
disrupted, damage to the distribution pipeline as well rising main
have occurred due to uprooting of trees, breaching of ring bundhs,
scouring of embankment, metal road, brick soling road, village
road etc. Restoration work has been taken up on war footing basis
as soon as the affected area become approachable and workable.
Less affected portions of the piped water supply schemes have been
restored fully but highly affected water supply schemes are still
under restoration in some areas.

The district of Darjeeling was also severely affected by the
cyclone storm Aila. Heavy landslides occurred as a result of
incessant and heavy rainfall alone with gusty winds for which
conduit systems of connection Springs and J horas Balason River
as source were greatly damaged, pipelines of Neorakhola Water
Supply schemes were completely damaged at many sections on
account of landslides and uprooting of trees.
Supply of pure drinking water is very much essential in the
flood affected areas to prevent the death toll due to water borne
diseases. PHED officials, therefore untiringly tried to restore all the
damaged piped water supply schemes in those areas. Where the
scheme is less affected it is restored by routine maintenance and
where it is severely affected it requires special attention like
disinfection and surging of big dia tube wells and spot sources,
temporary restoration of pipelines by T-moods etc, installation of
temporary diesel generator set, repairing of pump houses and
pumping machineries, new installation of pumping machineries,
supply of water through vessel mounted water tanks, cycle van
mounted jaricans, distribution of water pouches made through
mobile treatment unit etc all with a view to supply pure drinking
water to the affected people as early as possible.

Master Plan for Arsenic Mitigation:
Over the years it has been experienced that the short and
medium term mitigation measures have not sustained due various
reasons. Therefore it was decided to prepare an action plan to
cover all the arsenic affected villages of West Bengal with a long
term solution of potable drinking water supply. With due
consideration of the test results of all the Govt. tubewells, hydro
geological studies, and efficacy of the various mitigation measures
already implemented by the Govt., a master plan was prepared to
cover 6623 nos of affected habitations in 3229 villages with a long
term solution
.
District wise details of the Master Plan is furnished below:
According to the Master Plan there are provisions of 349 nos of
new schemes out of which 11 nos are Surface Water Based Piped
Water Supply Schemes and 338 nos are Ground Water Based
Piped Water Supply Schemes. The total estimated cost of the
schemes comes to Rs. 2503.64 Crore. All the schemes have already
been approved in the State Level Scientific Source Finding
Committee. So far the number of sanctioned schemes under the
Master Plan are 338 based on Ground Water and 10 based on
Surface Water.

Sustainability I ssues
The Water Supply arrangement in West Bengal is primarily
dependent on ground water. However, in recent past there is a
paradigm shift from the use of ground water to surface water,
wherever available, owing to increase in incidence of chemical
contamination of ground water. The surface water is free from
arsenic and therefore the surface water source will sustain to
provide arsenic free water in the affected areas.
The Master Plan for coverage of arsenic affected areas aims to
benefit a population of 165.898 lakh. Out of the total population to
be benefitted by implementation of new piped water supply
schemes, 51% of the population will be covered based on surface
water.

Different other methodologies like use of spring water, use of
sub-surface water of the river, use of impounded water in Dams
and Barrage, use of abandoned coal mines, storage and use of
pond water, use of roof top rain water etc. have been tried and
successfully implemented at different parts of the State.
Continuous efforts are being made to cover more and areas with
such measures wherever possible.
The Public Health Engineering Department has taken up a
number of water supply schemes based on the impoundment of
Water in bandhs and dams in the district of Bankura, Purulia,
Barddhaman and Paschim Midnapore. The details of such
schemes are given below:
-24-
Rain Water Harvesting Schemes
Pond Based Schemes - Rural areas of West Bengal have large
number of ponds ranging from smaller capacity to moderate
capacity. Rain water accumulated in a pond situated nearby any
habitation, may be utilized by providing pond water based water
supply scheme to supply drinking water to consumers living in the
habitation. In this case, water from the pond is drawn with the help
of double stroke hand pump and is treated in a Horizontal
Roughing Filter having number of compartments followed by a
Slow Sand Filter unit. The filtered water is supplied to the
consumers after proper disinfection by pot chlorination method.
Number of people to be benefited depends on the size and volume of
the pond. Generally, a moderate pond is capable of supplying
drinking water to about 1000 people @ 10 ltr per capita per day.
Public Health Engineering Directorate has already constructed
some Pond Based Water Supply Schemes in various districts
depending on the availability of ponds. The list of such schemes is
furnished below.

Implementation of such pond based schemes will also be
useful where there is increasing evidence of contamination of
ground water with arsenic, fluoride and salinity and also there is
absence of perennial surface water source.In order to promote
such schemes in large nos. the PHE Dept. and the Panchayat &
Rural Development Dept. have jointly put forth an effort whereby
it has been proposed that the Panchayat will identify the location
and creation of rain water ponds under various programmes like
NREGEA, IWDP, Hariyali etc. whereas the PHE Dept. shall

Water Supply Arrangement in Hilly Areas of the State of
West Bengal
PHE Department has taken up Neorakhola Water Supply
Scheme in the hilly areas of Darjeeling district to supplement the
additional requirement of drinking water in Municipal town,
Deference installation at Purpindara, Algara and Pedong and to
some enroute rural habitations for a design population of 81,385.
The source of Neorakhola water supply scheme are two perennial
water sources at Neorakhola and Dhaulakhola located at a
distance of 72 kms and 65 kms respectively from Kalimpong town.
The total length of pipeline is about 104 kms which passes through
difficult hilly terrain and land slide prone areas. The PHE
department continuously provides strict vigilance and provides
immediate technical support towards restoration and repairing of
damaged pipeline caused due to landslide or falling of trees.
PHE Department has also taken up another ambitious scheme
named as Darjeeling Water Supply Pumping Scheme popularly
known as 'Balason Scheme' in the hilly district of Darjeeling to
supply potable drinking water to the people of Darjeeling
Municipality, enroute villages and consists through out the year.
At present the people of Darjeeling are fed with the drinking
water from Sinchal lake (twin lake South lake having capacity 13
MG built in 1910 and North lake having capacity 20 MG built in
1932) having its source from 26 nos. perennial springs (J hora) in
Sinchal catchment area. In the lean period (J anuary to May) the
people of Darjeeling faces acute drinking water crisis due to short
supply of water to the Sinchal Lake from the springs (J hora). This
problem of short supply of water will be met up by pumping water
from Balason River to Sinchal Lake.
-29-
-1- -1-
Raw water from the river Balason near Ceder Tea Garden
(Altitude-806 mtr.) shall be pumped to the Sinchal Lake (Altitude-
2262 mtr.). As the altitude difference between Intake point at
Balason River and delivery point at Sinchal Lake is high enough,
the water will be pumped in two stages for better design of pumping
machinery etc. First the water will be pumped from Intake point at
Balason river to Intermediate point at Kalej Valley Tea Garden
(Altitude-1574 mtr.) in first stage and again it will be pumped from
intermediate Pumping Station to Sinchal Lake (Altitude-2262 mtr.)
in second stage. The entire rising main from intake to Sinchal lake
via Intermediate Pumping Station will be double pipeline of 300 NB
MS pipe, total route length is approx. 9.629 mtr.(x 2 nos.).
Water from Sinchal lake shall be sent to Water Treatment Plant
cum Booster Pumping Station at Sindhap lake area (Altitude-2237
mtr.) through 2 nos. 250 NB MS gravity main for treatment. After
filtration and disinfection at treatment plant the potable water will
be pumped by booster pump to the existing 2 nos. reservoir at St.
Pauls (Altitude-2234 mtr.) and Rockville (Altitude-2157 mtr.) the
clear water rising main from WTP at Sindhap to St. Pauls and
Rockville reservoir will be 250 NB MS pipeline, separate single line
for each reservoir. A part of the pipeline will be 200 NB considering
design aspect. The potable water from St. Pauls and Rockvill
reservoir will be supplied in the different area of Darjeeling by the
Municipality through its existing distribution system. Expected
date of commissioning of the Darjeeling Pumping Scheme is April
2010.

Reincarnation of a Coal Mine by Utilization of Rain

Water in Open Colliery Pit (OCP)
In the Asansol coalfield area, lays an abandoned OCP named
Gopalpur Alkusha OCP. Over the years rainwater accumulated in
the pit to form a huge lake covering an area of about 4.2 hectares.
From a coal mine of yesteryears Gopalpur Alkusha OCP turned
into a lake to give the area a facelift. But the water of the area was of
hardly any use to local people, except for bathing their livestock.
Absence of suitable drinking water bearing strata did not allow
for easy abstraction of ground water. The only source of water for
the local people was a few rig bored tubewells. Then a revolutionary
idea was struck upon. Why not purify the accumulated water at
Alkusha and supply it to the people of the area? Accordingly it was
decided to prepare a water supply scheme covering 14 mouzas
adjoining Alkusha under Salanpur block of District Bardhaman.
Permission of Eastern Coalfields Ltd., the lease holder of the area
was sought and conditional permission was obtained. Finally, the
Water Supply Scheme for Alkusha and adjoining mouzas took
shape. The water is drawn from the lake by pump. The water is
treated in adequately designed Package Filter units with Dual
Media Filter. The raw water also contains trace of phenolic
compounds beyond permissible limit. Such pollution in drinking
water required further treatment by passing the water through a
bed of Activated Carbon and finally followed by disinfection. The
scheme has been fully commissioned during 2007-08 serving
thousands of people of the area.
