Executive Summary

With growing urbanization and emergence of urban areas as growth centers combined with improved living standards, piped water supply with improving service levels has become integral part of basic civic amenity. Safe disposal of human excreta & wastewater is also necessary for health reasons. The options available for disposal of excreta are either on-site or off-site sewerage system. On site sanitation system, prevailing till date, in most of the towns, are individualistic system with inherent problems for collection & disposal of sludge & risks of contamination of ground water. Water carriage sewerage system, more or less, has come to be universally adopted for disposal of excreta. Begusarai Town is the district head quarter of Begusarai District in State of Bihar. The town is flanked by River Ganges on its west-south border. The town is situated 125 kms from Capital, Patna. The topography of the town is that of a flat plain area. The mean annual rainfall is 1155 mm mostly confined to monsoon season and with maximum temperature during summer between 42oC and minimum temperature of 8oC during winter season. As per 2001 census, the project town had a population of 93,741 souls. Project facilities are proposed to be designed for future requirements of year 2041. An elaborate exercise has been carried out for population projection at both macro & micro level using number of statistical methods & tools. The designed population for year 2041 comes out to be 221,740. The results of population projection for different years are as follows:

Detailed Project Report

Town Begusarai has no comprehensive sewerage system. The human excreta is disposed of using on site sanitation methods. Open defection is also not uncommon. Spent water from kitchen & bath rooms is let into surface drains which lead to local depressions. Septic effluent from septic tanks is also let into the surface drains. The proposed project aims effective abatement of pollution of river Ganga by provide a comprehensive wastewater collection, treatment & disposal system using laterals, branches and trunk mains including sewage treatment plant. The project is proposed to be implemented under National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA), a programme launched by Government of India with the objectives of pollution abatement and to improve water quality of Ganga River. Under the project, Sewerage system is being proposed to ascertain that no wastewater will be discharged in Ganga river untreated. The provisions, as recommended by Manual of Sewerage and Sewage Treatment, published by Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organisation (CPHEEO), of Government of India and revised guidelines for preparation of DPRs by NRCD are largely adopted for design of sewerage system for this project. The most of the town is proposed to discharge at single location on its south eastern side. The treated wastewater is proposed to carry from tratement plant site to River Ganga through a pipe. Two pumping stations are proposed to restrict the depth of excavation to 8.0 mtr in general. It is proposed to use Reinforced Cement Concrete non pressure circular pipes for sewers suitably supported with bedding, depending on structural requirements. A minimum size of 150 mm is adopted as per recommendations of CPHEEO Manual. Manhole are proposed to be provided at 30 mtr or more spacing as per prevalent practice & specifications. The summary of sewer lengths for the town is as below:
Diameter (mm) 150 160 200 250 300 350 400 Total Length(m) 7761 17133 64564 1802 2051 1996 893

A number of available technologies including conventional system like Attached and Suspended growth aerobic systems, Anaerobic systems , oxidation ditch, UASB, Sequential Batch Reactor and unconventional systems like Reed beds or Constructed wetlands, Soil application methods and Waste Stabilization ponds are reviewed. The review of available technologies is made with the consideration to the local climate, Land availability, power requirements and treatment levels. A sewage treatment system, based on Sequential Batch Reactor Process finds favor owing to discharge standards requirement of 30 mg/l BOD and less land requirement. It is increasing difficult to find adequate land in urban towns. The proposed system includes Primary treatment in form of Coarse & Fine Screens, Grit Chamber, SBR Tanks, Centrifuge and Chlorination Contact Tank. The intended treatment levels are to conform to the effluent standards for application on land as per The Environment Protection Act, 1986. The effluent is proposed to be discharged in River Ganga. The effluent standards for inland surface water discharge includes 5 day BOD at 200C as 30 mg/l and suspended solids of 100 mg/l. A sewage treatment plant based on Sequential Batch Reactor technology is proposed to be constructed of capacity 17 mld. The costs for sewerage collection system with all ancillary works comes to be Rs 52.63 Crores and that of Rs 16.70 Crores for Sewage Treatment plant & SCADA. The total cost of the project will be Rs 69.33 Crore. Benefits for the implementation of this project could only be achieved with parallel improvements in other related fields. A number of other interventions will be required for reaping full benefits of this project and to ensure its continual efficient functioning. The major identified interventions are provided below.

Detailed Project Report

Developing comprehensive management system for sewerage facilities Encouraging property owners to connect to sewers where they are available Introducing improved Quality Assurance procedures and checks Improving Solid Waste Management Sanitation awareness and domestic hygiene Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd. (BUIDCo) to act as Execution Agency for all Projects sanctioned under NGRBA., Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd. (BUIDCo) is a Govt. of Bihar Undertaking registered under the Companys Act 1956 (Act 1 of 1956) on 16th June, 2009. The project will be implemented by the BUIDCo. There shall be tripartite contract agreements between BUIDCo, ULB and Contractor for capital works and for O&M of assets created. After successful testing and commissioning of all components, the assets will be transferred to ULB for taking care of O&M responsibilities. Considering the financial, technical & human resource constraints of Municipal Council, it is proposed to club the operation & maintenance of the sewerage system with STP in first five years with Capital works contract. Later, with gradual capacity building of Municipal council, the O&M of the system may be taken over by Municipal council or outsourced to some private operator. To assist the executing agency for activities of Construction supervision, implementation of Quality assurance & quality control (QA&QC) procedures, it is proposed to engage Construction supervision Consultants for this project as a pre execution activity. Another important preexecution activity is to appoint some experienced Non Governmental Organisation or other suitable agency with the aim to ensure active participation of beneficiaries with the project implementation, carry out social awareness campaign for good sanitation and good hygiene practices and to encourage property owners to connect to sewers laid under this project and to encourage the beneficiaries to pay for sanitation services for efficient O&M operations and overall sustainability. The project is proposed to be implemented in a single work package to expedite the implementation process. Excluding the first nine months of

Detailed Project Report

pre execution activities, project is proposed to be implemented in fifteen months. To ensure sustainability of the project, it is imperative that revenue be generated from the beneficiaries of the system to recover the Operation & maintenance costs and if possible, costs for extension & up-gradation of facilities. In due course of time, it is required to Levy reasonable user charges by ULB with the objective that full cost of operation and maintenance or recurring cost is collected. It is proposed that a suitable system in consultation with users and resident welfare associations is required to be developed for collecting charges for sewerage facilities. Two recommended options are; to levy sewerage charges as %age of water charges and second is to charge property owners based on categorized localities and plot size with preference to first option. Successful Implementation & commissioning of project will considerably improve the water quality of river Ganga with additional benefits in form of improvement in living environment, hygienic conditions of town people. The project will help in considerably reducing pollution load on Ganga river which will lead to restoration of aquatic ecology of these rivers and flourishing of aquatic flora & fauna.

The minutes of meeting of ESC is available at Annex A-12. 1.3. Rivers Rivers have been used for navigation for thousands of years. The earliest evidence of navigation is found in the Indus Valley Civilization, which existed in northwestern Pakistan around 3300 BC. Riverine navigation provides a cheap means of transport, and is still used extensively on most major rivers of the world. Rivers have been a source of food since pre-history. They can provide a rich source of fish and other edible aquatic life, and are a major source of fresh water, which can be used for drinking and irrigation. It is therefore no surprise to find most of the major cities of the world situated on the banks of rivers. Rivers help to determine the urban form of cities and neighborhoods and their corridors often present opportunities for urban renewal through the development of foreshore ways such as River walks. Rivers have been important in determining political boundaries and defending countries. The coarse sediments, gravel and sand, generated and moved by rivers are extensively used in construction. in recent decades there has been a significant increase in the development of large scale power generation from water

Rivers also provide an easy means of disposing of waste-water and, in much of the less developed world, other wastes. 1.4. River Ganges The Ganges is one of the major rivers of the Indian subcontinent, flowing east through the Gangetic Plain of northern India into Bangladesh. The 2,510 km river rises in the western Himalayas in the Uttarakhand state of India, and drains into the Sunderbans delta in the Bay of Bengal. The Ganges Basin drains 1,000,000-square-kilometre and supports one of the world's highest density of humans. The river has been declared as India's National River. After flowing 200 km through its narrow Himalayan valley, the Ganges debouches on the Gangetic Plain at the pilgrimage town of Haridwar. Further, the river follows an 800 km curving course passing through the city of Kanpur before being joined from the southwest by the Yamuna at Allahabad. Joined by numerous rivers such as the Kosi, Son, Gandaki and Ghaghra, the Ganges forms a formidable current in the stretch between Allahabad and Malda in West Bengal. On its way it passes the towns of Kanpur, Soron, Kannauj, Allahabad, Varanasi, Patna, Ghazipur, Bhagalpur, Mirzapur, Ballia, Buxar, Saidpur, and Chunar. The Ganges Basin with its fertile soil is instrumental to the agricultural economies of India and Bangladesh. The Ganges and its tributaries provide a perennial source of irrigation to a large area. Chief crops cultivated in the area include rice, sugarcane, lentils, oil seeds, potatoes, and wheat. Along the banks of the river, the presence of swamps and lakes provide a rich growing area for crops such as legumes, chillies, mustard, sesame, sugarcane, and jute. There

are also many fishing opportunities to many along the river, though it remains highly polluted. Tourism is another related activity. Three towns holy to Hinduism Haridwar, Allahabad, and Varanasi attract thousands of pilgrims to its waters. Thousands of Hindu pilgrims arrive at these three towns to take a dip in the Ganges, which is believed to cleanse oneself of sins and help attain salvation. The rapids of the Ganges also are popular for river rafting, attracting hundreds of adventure seekers in the summer months. 1.5. River Pollution The major polluting industries on the Ganga are the leather industries, especially near Kanpur, which use large amounts of Chromium and other chemicals, and much of it finds its way into the meager flow of the Ganga. Also, inadequate cremation procedures contributes to a large number of partially burnt or unburnt corpses floating down the Ganga, not to mention livestock corpses. The Ganga Basin, the largest river basin of the country, houses about 40 percent of population of India. During the course of its journey, municipal sewages from 29 Class-I cities (cities with population over 1,00,000), 23 Class II cities (cities with population between 50,000 and 1,00,000) and about 48 towns, effluents from industries and polluting wastes from several other non-point sources are discharged into the river Ganga resulting in its pollution. The NRCD records put the estimates of total sewage generation in towns along river Ganga and its tributaries as 5044 MLD (Million Litres per Day). According to the Central Pollution Control Board Report of 2001, the total wastewater generation on the Ganga basin is about 6440 MLD.

Urban filth and industrial pollution are scientific causes, but environmentalists believe that apart from industrial pollution and sewage, the increase in number of slaughterhouse, dhobi ghats, crematoria and slums are the major sources of pollution in these rivers. Every year, religious

idols are immersed in rivers which lose a little more of their life as they are choked yet again. 1.6. NGRBA The Central Government, by a notification dated 20.2.2009, as set up National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA)as an empowered planning, financing, monitoring and coordinating authority for the Ganga river, in exercise of the powers conferred under the Environment (Protection) Act,1986. The Prime Minister is ex-officio Chairperson of the Authority, and it has as its members, the Union Ministers Concerned and the Chief Ministers of states through which Ganga flows, viz., Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal, among others. The objective of the Authority is to ensure effective abatement of pollution and conservation of the river Ganga by adopting a holistic approach with the river basin as the unit of planning. The functions of the Authority include all measures necessary for planning and execution of programmes for abatement of pollution in the Ganga in keeping with sustainable development needs. 1.6.1. KEY FEATURES OF THE NEW APPROACH OF NGRBA River Basin will be the unit of planning and management. This is an internationally accepted strategy for integrated management of rivers. Accordingly, a new institutional mechanism in the form of National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA) will spearhead river conservation efforts at the national level. Implementation will be by the State Agencies and Urban Local Bodies. The minimum ecological flows for the entire Ganga will be determined through modeling exercises. NGRBA will take appropriate measures in cooperation with the States to regulate water abstraction for marinating minimum ecological flows in the river. Attention would also be paid to the restoration of living parts of the river ecosystem for its holistic treatment to enable conservation of species like dolphin, turtles, fishes and other native and endangered species in their river. 1.6.2. KEY FUNCTIONS OF THE NGRBA The NGRBA would be responsible for addressing the problem of pollution in Ganga in a holistic and comprehensive manner. This will
6

include water quality minimum ecological flows, sustainable access and other issues relevant to river ecology and management. The NGRBA will not only be regulatory body but will also have developmental role in terms of planning & monitoring of the river conservation activities and ensuring that necessary resources are available. The NGRBA would work for maintaining the water quality of the river Ganga upto the acceptable standards. The pollution abetment activities will be taken up through the existing implementation mechanisms in the States and also through Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) at the pollution hotspots. The NGRBA will ensure minimum ecological flow in the Ganga by regulating water abstraction and by promoting water storage projects. The NGRBA will plan and monitoring programmes for clanging of Ganga and its tributaries. To begin with, it will concentrate on Ganga main stem. The NGRBA would draw upon professional expertise within and outside the Government for advise on techno-economic issues. The technical and administrative support to NGRBA shall be provided by the Ministry of Environment & Forests. 1.6.3. PREPARATORY STEPS AFTER SETTING UP NATIONAL GANGA RIVER BASIN AUTHORITY River Basin Management Plan: a notice inviting Expression of Interest to start the process of selecting an appropriate agency to prepare the Ganga River Basin Management Plan has been issued. This has been prepared taking into account inputs received from the Central pollution control Board and the Central Water Commission on the scope of work to be included in the Plan. 30 proposals have been received from leading consultants. The Consultant will be finalized shortly after two stage selection process. Status Paper: the Alternate Hydro Energy Centre, IIT, Roorkee has been asked to prepare a Status Paper on Ganga which includes the experience of the Ganga Action Plan and the present water quality. It is being finalized. The Status paper will be presented in the first meeting of meeting of the NGRBA.

Priority Action plan for pollution hotspots: one of the priority functions of the Authority is to implementation river conservation works at pollution hotspots. These activities should commence even as the comprehensive basin management plan is under preparation. MoEF has requested the concerned State Governments to prepare action plans for comprehensively tackling the problem of pollution in the Ganga at the hotspots locations, such as Hardiwar, Varansani, Ahmadabad, Kanpur, Patna and Howrah. These plans are awaited. SPVs as mode of implementation: the process of consolations with State Government and Urban Local Bodies has been started to discuss he feasibility of having SPVs in the river clearing sector and to evolve the necessary modalities viz. Contractual arrangements, concessions agreements, etc. A meeting was organized on 16th June 2009 with the representatives of the State Governments and the Heads of the Urban Local Bodies as a brainstorming session to begin the process of identifying appropriate locations and the types of river conservation infrastructure where SPVs would be feasible. A presentation was made by IL&FS. State Governments & ULBs have been requested to formulate proposals for implementing this concept on a pilot basis. GIS Mapping: The National Information Centre (NIC has been entrusted with the work of GIS based mapping of the entire Ganga Basin. This work has already commenced. This will help the users to view and update maps and tabular data relating to pollution abetment works, water quality etc. and analyze the data for monitoring and effective decision making. Memoranda of Agreement with States: the National Institute of Urban Affairs has prepared a modal Memorandum of Agreement which would link flow of funds to achievement of milestones such as measurable improvements in water quality indicators, implementation of pre determined reform measures and provision s for O&M. Compendium of Technologies: A Compendium of the treatment technologies available in India and aboard is being prepared by IIT, Kanpur. This can serve as a store house for the NGRBA and would help the State Governments and the local authorities in choosing the appropriate technologies depending upon the totality of local

circumstances. The compendium would be presented in the first meeting of NGRBA. The States have to be at the forefront of implementation of the river conservation programme. The Authority, therefore, provides for the State Governments to constitute State River Conservation Authorities under the chairmanship of their Chief Ministers. However, certain States may want the States Authorities to be constituted under the Environment (Protection) Act in which case the notification will have to be issued by the Central Government. A model notification in this regard has been circulated to the State Governments for their consideration. 1.7. Document Organization This Project report includes three volumes.

Chapter 2. The Project Town

2.1. INTRODUCTION Begusarai is district headquarter of District Begusarai in State of Bihar. The Begusarai district lies in central Bihar with river Ganga flowing along its southern boundary. Patna, the capital of Bihar is about 125 km far from Begusarai. 2.2. THE STATE Location The State of Bihar is situated in the vast Gangetic plain, Bihar is a landlocked state between West Bengal on the east, Uttar Pradesh on the west, Jharkhand on the south and Nepal (international border) on the north, covering an area of 94,163 sq km. A part of Bihar was separated and formed into a new state Jharkhand on November 15, 2000. Demography According to Census 2001, total population of Bihar is 82,878,796 with 43,153,964 men and 39,724,832 women; the population density is 880 persons per sq. kilometer. The number of Children under 0-6 years is 16,234,539. Total rural population and urban population is 89.5% and 10.5% respectively. Sex ratio is 921. According to 1991 census, the share of population of the Scheduled Castes was 14.56% and Scheduled Tribes was

Detailed Project Report

7.66% in Bihar. This ratio of the STs has changed drastically after separation of Jharkhand from Bihar. History Bihar's antiquity is evident from its name, which is derived from the ancient word "VIHARA" (monastery). It is indeed a land of monasteries. Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, Muslim and Sikh shrines abound in this ancient land where India's first major empires rose and fell. Where the ruins of the worlds' earliest university slumbers in the void of time. The passage of Ganga, flowing wide and deep enrich the plains of Bihar before distributing in Bengal's deltoid zone. Among all Indian states, Bihar is the one most intimately linked to the Buddhas life, resulting in a trail of pilgrimages which have come to be known as the Buddhist circuit. The Buddhist trail begins at the capital city, Patna, where a noteworthy museum contains a collection of Hindu and Buddhist sculptures as well as a terracotta urn said to contain the ashes of Lord Buddha. The Khuda Baksh Oriental Library has rare Muslim manuscripts including some from the University of Cordoba in Spain. 40 km away, Vaishali, was the site for the second Buddhist Council. 90 km south of Patna is Nalanda which translates as the place that confers the lotus (of spiritual knowledge). A monastic university flourished here from the 5th to the 11th century. It is said to have contained nine million books, with 2,000 teachers to impart knowledge to 10,000 students who came from all over the Buddhist world. Lord Buddha himself taught here and Hieun Tsang, the 7th century Chinese traveler, was a student. Ongoing excavations have uncovered temples, monasteries and lecture halls. Rajgir, the royal palace, 12 km south, was the venue for the first Buddhist Council. The Buddha spent five years at Rajgir after having attained enlightenment, and many of the remains at Rajgir commemorate various incidents related to life of Buddha, the hill of Gridhrakuta being perhaps the most important, as this is where the Buddha delivered most of his sermons. Bodhgaya is the spot where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment, with the Mahabodhi Temple marking the precise location. Topography The topography of Bihar can be easily described as a fertile alluvial plain occupying the north, the Gangetic Valley. The northern plain extends from

13

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

the foothills of the Himalayas in the north to a few miles south of the river Ganges as it flows through the State from the west to the east. The tract lying between 258' & 2731' North Latitude and 8320' & 8817' East Longitude is Bihar. It is bounded on the north by the Kingdom of Nepal, in the south by Jharkhand, in the east by West Bengal and on the west by Uttar Pradesh. Roughly rectangular in shape it comprises mainly the Gangetic Plains, the dissected highlands of Kaimur plateau and the Himalayan foothills occupying a very small tract of the state. The North Gangetic plain extends from the base of the Tarai in the north to the Ganga in the south, comprising an area of about 22,000 square miles. Except for the Someshwar and the Dun hills in the extreme northwest, it presents an almost flat appearance and has an elevation of less than 250 feet above sea level. The Someshwar and the Dun hills cover an area of about 364 square miles in Champaran. They are the lowest and the outermost of all the Himalayan ranges, immediately overlooking the plain, and form part of a long range which runs along the whole length of Nepal, at the southern base of which lies the swampy submontane tract called the Tarai. The Someshwar range runs along the northern frontier of the State for a distance of about 46 miles and varies in altitude from a few hundred feet to 2884 feet at Fort Someshwar, which commands a magnificent view of the Himalayas wrapped in the grandeur of eternal snow. The Dun hills lie to the south of the Someshwar range from which the Dun Valley separates them. They are a range of low hills land extends from about 20 miles from the northwest to the southeast. The Tarai that lies towards their southern margin forms a narrow belt of submontane forest, followed by a prairie land of long reedy grasses. It is mostly marshy and unhealthy. This area of hills is but sparsely populated by an aboriginal tribe called the Tharus. But for this small area of hills in the northwest, one looks in vain in any direction for la hill or mound, which may interrupt the continuity of the level surface. The North Gangetic plain is the playground of rivers- the Gogra, Gandak, Bagmati, Kosi, Mahananda and a host of minor streams, which descend from the Himalayas and make their way to the Ganga in frequently changing channels. The Kosi particularly has earned the bad name of being the most changeable stream in India, shifting its bed all the time. Because of the large quantities of silt they deposit the rivers at many points flow on ridges slightly elevated above the general level of the country and frequently inundate the low-lying lands on either side during the rains.

The South Gangetic plain occupies the greater part of what is popularly known as South Bihar. It is wide towards the west and the middle, and extremely narrow towards the east. The outlying hills and undulations of the Chotanagpur plateau encroach upon the plain from the south, until near Munger they extend in the Kharagpur hills as far north as the Ganga itself, and after a brief recession run along the bank of the river for a considerable distance as the Rajmahal hills. The South Gangetic differs in many respects from the North Gangetic plain. It is higher in the south and slopes towards the Ganga, but the slope is not so gradual as in the North Gangetic plain. While the North is liable to flood and change, the South Gangetic plain is stable and not subject to floods except in limited areas. Moreover, it is much more diversified than the North, and a great many hills spring as islands of high rock from the level alluvium. Notable among the hills that lie scattered in the South Gangetic plain are the Barabar hills, the Rajgir-Jethian hills, and the Kharagpur hills. These hills lie in the districts of Jehanabad, Nalanda and Munger. Though not quite naked, they have been highly denuded, and most of the vegetation has either been cleared away with the axe or has disappeared with the erosion of the surface soil. They therefore present semi-bare rocky surfaces having a thin covering of grass and scrub. In the Kharagpur hills, areas of jungle still survive as but poor remnants of the dense forests which once clothed these hills. The Barabar and the Rajgir hills are generally less than 1,000 feet above sea level, but they exceed 1,000 feet at several places. The Kharagpur hills have several peaks rising above 1,600 feet. High banks on either side contain the trough occupied by the channel of the Ganga. After the close of the monsoon, there appear within the trough large expanses of sand and silt deposits called diaras which vary greatly in extent and position every year. The Rajmahal hills form the northeast angle of the Chotanagpur plateau and are the only considerable mass of hills that approach the Ganga in its course in that region. Although nowhere do they rise higher than 2,000 feet they present an extremely varied and picturesque topography. On its eastern margin, the plateau has a height of less than 1,000 feet but the general configuration is still that of an undulating upland. The Kaimur hills, separated from the rest of the plateau by the valley of the Son, are structurally very different from Chotanagpur. They are the easternmost termination of the Vindhyan range and form an undulating tableland rising abruptly from the plain in bold and lofty precipices, to eminences of about 1,200 feet above sea level. Forests & Wildlife
15

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

Among the wildlife, notable are: deer, bears, numerous species of birds, including the peacock, pheasant, and wild fowl, and most notably, the tiger. The forest around Valmiki Nagar, West Champaran is one of the last remaining refuges of this highly endangered species. The forests of Bihar yield valuable commercial products besides the timber. Cane trees are used in the manufacture of an indigenous product for making furniture. A resinous material secreted by the lac insect is valuable commercially. It is the source of shellac. Also, bangles made of lac are very popular among women of Bihar. The silkworm is the source of magnificent silk - characteristically, the tusser or tussah silk. The majestic banyan tree (Ficus bengalensis), and the related pipal (Ficus religiosa), dot the entire landscape of the State. Languages Hindi is by far the most common language of the state, understood by all. There is a significant number of Bengali speaking people also. They are descendants of the settlers from the old British Presidency of Bengal. English is the language of commerce and is spoken by the educated masses. In addition people speak many dialects in different regions. The major dialects are: Bhojpuri, Magahi and Maithili. Bhojpuri is spoken in the districts of Champaran (East and West), Saran, and Shahabad. Magahi is the dialect of Central Bihar, i.e., the districts of Patna, Gaya and Bihar. Maithili, and its variants, is the dialect of the people in the north-east, i.e., the districts of Muzaffarpur, Vaishali, Darbhanga, Samastipur, Saharsa, Purnia and Bhagalpur. Trade & Commerce Rich farmland and lush orchards extend throughout the north. Following are the major crops: paddy, wheat, lentils, sugarcane, jute (hemp, related to the marijuana plant, but a source of tough fibers and "gunny bags".) Also, cane grows wild in the marshes of West Champaran. The principal fruits are: mangoes, banana, jack fruit and litchis. This is one the very few areas outside China which produces litchi. There is very little industry in the plain region except for the sugar factories that are scattered all over the northern plains, particularly in the western region. Jute is transported to the jute factories located mostly in Calcutta. The principal commercial products of Bihar are:

16

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

Crops - rice, wheat, lentils, maize (corn), sugar cane. Fruits - mangoes, bananas, jack-fruit, and litchis. Fibers - silk (particularly from the Bhagalpur region in the East, producers of a distinct quality of silk, namely, tussar or tussah); and jute, transported to factories located mostly near Calcutta for easy export of the finished material. Forest Products - hard wood timber, saal and sakhua from the north; also cane for weaving, particularly from the swamps in West Champaran district of North Bihar. North Bihar, a rich agricultural area, has many industries associated with agricultural products. There are numerous sugar factories scattered throughout the area. Many rice and edible oilmills also dot the landscape. It also has some sundry, but important, manufacturing plants, for example the Button Factory at Mehsi (East Champaran), and the old and renowned rail wagon manufacturing plant, the Arthur Butler & Co, at Muzaffarpur. Immediately after independence however, a major industrial complex grew around Barauni. The industrial plants located there are: the Fertilizer Factory, the Oil (petroleum) Refinery Plant, and the Thermal Power Station. Recently, a Thermal Power Plant has also begun operation at Kanti, in the Muzaffarpur district along its border with East Champaran. Regarding commerce and North Bihar, mention must be made of the gigantic annual cattle fair at Sonpur in the Saran district, close to the confluence of the Gandak and Ganges rivers. The fair is held around the religious festival of Kartik Purnima - full moon in the month of Kartik in the Hindu lunar calendar (corresponding to some time in Oct-Dec in the Gregorian calendar), which marks the end of the holy month of Kartik. This fair is reputed to be one of the world's largest such fair, where not just cattle but also exotic animals and horses and elephants are traded in large number. It attracts a large number of tourists from many countries. The Government of Bihar, through their Department of Tourism, provide many amenities for their boarding and lodging. 2.3. THE DISTRICT District Begusarai is situated in the middle of North Bihar. It is bordered by Samastipur in the north and by the Ganga and Lakhisarai district in the south. In the east of Begusarai lies Khagaria and Munger, while Samastipur

and Patna district bounds it from the west. Begusarai covers an area of 2219 sq. km. According to the 2001 census the population of the Begusarai District is 23,49,366 with male population 1228874 and female population 1120492. The Literacy Rate in the district is 38.16%, as registered in the census of 2001. 2.4. HISTORY In 1870 Begusarai was established as a sub-divison of the Munger district. Begusarai district was carved out of it as a separate district on 2nd October 1972. Now it is a part of the Munger commissionery. It was named after "Begu" a man of this district who used to look after "Sarai" an old and small market. Begusarai district is a part of Darbhanga division. 2.5. LOCATION The town Begusarai is located at 2502452 North latitude and 860742 Eastern longitude. It has an average elevation of 48 metres above sea level. Some of the towns/villages around the town are Bhagwanpur, Balia, Bakhri, Barauni, etc. The area under the municipal limits of town is 751.42 Hactares. The location of Town of Begusarai in State of Bihar is shown in map provided in next page. 2.6. DEMOGRAPHY As of 2001 India census, town Begusarai had a population of 93,741 with population of SC & ST as 9,336 and 45 respectively The number of household in the town is 14,310. The average population density of town is 12476 persons per sq km. 2.7. CONNECTIVITY Begusarai is 125 kilometers from State capital, Patna. Begusarai is well connected to other parts of Bihar and India through railways as well as roads. New Delhi - Gawahati railway line passes through Begusarai. Small aerodrome in Ulao is five kms from the district headquarters. Railway has a route of 119 km (B.G.) and 67 km (M.G.). Barauni Railway Junction occupies an important position. A number of important trains originate from this station for distant destinations, viz, Delhi, Guwahati,

Amritsar, Varanasi, Lucknow, Mumbai, Chennai etc. Rajendra Setu on the Ganga is connected to Mokama and Howrah. There are 18 railway stations in this district. Interior parts of the district are connected to the main roads. The National Highways 28 and 31 link this district to the other parts of the country. Its total length is 95 km. State roads have the total length of 262 km. 95% of the total villages are linked to the rural and urban road facilities. Bridge across Ganges at Barauni forms an important link way connecting north and south Bihar. 2.8. CLIMATE Being a part of Gangetic plain of Indian subcontinent, the district experiences three climatic seasons summer from late March to mid time rainy season from mid June to October and the winter season from November to February. The month of February & March fall in the transitional season from winter to summer described as spring or Basant. Similarly the months of September & October falls in the transitional season from rainy season to winter season described as Shishir. During summer due to high temperature this becomes an area of low pressure. During this period Bay of Bengal, due to its geographical characteristics, serves as homeland for cyclones. Being on area of low presser, the plains of Begusarai and associated areas attract these cyclonic winds. This leads to the dust storms. These dry, hot, dusty storms are locally termed as Loo. These are prevalent in the month of May-June. The rainfall is average in this area. The average annual rainfall in this belt of Ganga- Burhi Gandak is 1384mm of which 83% falls between Mid June and & Mid-October. Monsoon normally starts in June and lasts till October. The early monsoon currents, channeled to the NW are the principal source of rainfall of the region. 17 % of pre monsoonal rains, which are spread in the different months of the year, especially in the months of NovemberDecember-January, have been explained as due to Norwester affect and rest during monsoons due to Himalayan affect. Heavy rains, supplemented by physiographic/geomorphic features lead to heavy flood. The chilling winter starts in mid-October and continues till initial periods of March. Most part of the winter is dry except some sporadic rains. 2.9. GEOGRAPHY
19

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

North Ganga plain is a major physiographic unit of the Indian landmass. Generally recognized as "a water-surplus area", this region is bounded by a northern piedmont belt where water oozes to the surface, followed by a broad belt of swampy lands, depressions and lakes, and finally an aggregation of alluvial fans as all these northern streams bend to form confluence points with the Ganga. Hence, the surface is characterized by palaeo levees, swamps or flood basins locally called "Chaurs", relict palaeo channels aggraded in varying degrees, meander belts, ox-bow lakes and cut-of loops. Its fluvial geomorphology is dominated from west to east by the Ghagra-Gandak Interfluves, the Gandak-Kosi Interfluves and the western Kosi Fan Belt. Some of these rivers frequently change their channels. Their channels are called by different names in different parts of their courses. The district of Begusarai lies in the middle part of this great plain known as mid Ganga plain. In general, it is a low-lying flat terrain having a southerly to south-easterly slope. This factor governs the flow of streams. Geomorphologically it is a part of the Gandak- Kosi interfluves. The southern part of the district, except those of low-lying flood plains of Ganga, appears to be an elevated landmass when compared to the adjoining districts of Khagaria and Samastipur. Hence, being a safer destination amidst the flood drained region, it supports the human activities in a better way. The district Begusarai is divided into three flood plains namely i. ii. iii. Kereha-Old Bhagmati flood plains, Burhi Gandak Flood plain and Ganga Flood plain

The first two flood plains of the district are very low lying areas and are prone to the flood. The floods owe their origin to the complex interplay of fluvial geomorphic elements in the upstream sections of the Kosi, BagmatiKareh-Budhi Gandak and related rivers. These two flood plains converge in the southeastern part of the district, which is lowland. The streams flowing in the region show a shifting tendency. In the course of their shifting, the rivers leave behind their scars of their previous channels. Thus due to shifting nature of streams and physiographic characteristic, this part is full of wetlands, back swamps and oxbow lakes. However, in the southern part, the flood plains of Ganga are least prone to flood. Interestingly the Railway track passing through the district marks a
20

prominent divider line for Ganga flood plain and Kereha- old Bhagmati flood plains & Burhi Gandak flood plain. The Flood plains of Burhi Gandak and Kareha are marked by the presence of paleo levees, oxbow lakes, paleochannels, relict streams and chaurs viz Kaulachaur and Bhagwanpur chaur. These chaurs serve as excellent fertile agricultural lands during summer and are submerged during rains. Also the areas around these chaurs face the problem of submergence for around three-four months a year. Kawar Lake, a large fresh water lake which is basically a huge wetland is present as an important physiographic feature of this part. In the Ganga flood plain, which is approximately 50-55 km long and 5-6 kms wide, in the southern part of the district, except those low lying areas of Taals and chaurs, the typical fluvial characteristics of North Bihar rivers are not visible, which are prominent in the north of Railway track. This is the least flood prone area of the district, which gets drowned only in cases of exceptional floods in Ganga and Burhi Gandak. This relatively upland area appears to be the levee of river Ganga. 2.10. FACILITIES

Begusarai has many government schools. It also has colleges for various streams of education like Ayurvedic Medicine, Law, Polytechnic, I.T.I, Homeopathic and a college for general stream. With so many industrial and educational units Begusarai has the potential to become one of the developed districts of the state. 2.11. COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES

Most of the people in Begusarai depend on agriculture and grow cash crops like oilseeds; jute, tobacco, potato, red chillies, tomato and some are engaged in rearing of cattle. Two big industries mark the skyline of the district i.e. Thermal power station and Petro-Chemicals factory & Oil refinery complex at Barauni. Oil refinery Barauni refinery is one of the country's biggest oil refineries at Barauni in Bihar State. The refinery is managed and controlled by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd.(IOC). Barauni Refinery was built in collaboration with Soviet Union at a cost of Rs. 49.40 crore and went on stream in July 1964. By November 1967, the initial capacity was expanded from 2 MMTPA

(million metric tons per annum) to 3 MMTPA. The present capacity of the refinery is 6.00 MMTPA.

Barauni Thermal Power Station Barauni Thermal Power Station (BTPS) was established on 26 January 1963, starting from 15 MW with a unit of (Kerosene Oil to Coal) 365 MW, BTPS went through different stages of revolutions. Chemical fertilizer plants Chemical fertilizer plants are located at Barauni in Begusarai District. In Nov'1962 it was proposed to the govt. In 1967 it was established. Here 330 tons of urea is produced per annum. It is expanded in 330 acre Lands. The name of final product is Moti Urea. Barauni Dairy Established in 1959, (M.D.Barauni Dugdh Utpadak Sahkari Sangh Ltd, Barauni Diary) a fully co-operative organization, marketing its product to Kolkotta, Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Bokaro, Gaya, Danbad etc.

Chapter 3. Design Criteria

3.1. THE MANUAL OF SEWERAGE AND SEWAGE TREATMENT (SECOND EDITION) The Manual of Sewerage and Sewage Treatment (Second Edition), Ministry of Urban Development, 1993 is an excellent publication which comprehensively deals with all aspects of sewerage systems from initial planning through design and construction, including management and legal aspects, and then on to the subsequent operation and maintenance of the systems. The proposals and recommendations of the Sewerage Manual, and its previous version of 1986, are normally complied with by all engineering consultants and authorities throughout India for the design of sewerage systems. A number of design criteria have been adopted from the revised guidelines for preparation of DPRs for conservation of rivers & lakes as issued vide office memorandum G.11011/2/2001-NRCD.I dated 13-08-2002 of National River Conservation Directorate (NRCD), Ministry of Environment & Forest, GoI. In general, these proposals comply recommendations of these documents. 3.2. DESIGN PERIOD For a sewerage system the main component of the project is to design a suitable system of sewers for collecting the waste water generated by the population as domestic effluent, industrial effluent and also likely ground

water infiltration. Since sewers once laid are extremely difficult to change in size and slope with increasing flow due to expansion in population, it is necessary to adopt a certain rational figure for the likely projected population. It is a generalized practice to design sewers to match the flow of a projected population for thirty years. Too large period will involve very heavy financial burden on the present population, which will not be able to enjoy the benefits, and a small period will soon get overloaded creating insanitary conditions. Manual for Sewerage and Sewerage Treatment recommend to adopt a design period of thirty years for all types of sewers and its components. But for pumping machinery it has to match the life of pumping machinery which is generally limited to fifteen years and has to be replaced. For trunk and outfall the period can be reduced provided that there is technical feasibility of subsequent duplication. In case of this project town which will be still a town of moderate size much less than a metropolitan or city, a design year of 2041 with effective design period of 30 years is adopted for entire sewerage system. For different lift stations, design year for pumping machinery is adopted as 2026 with design period of 15 years. NRCD Guidelines Recommendations Base yearThe year of expected commissioning of the project shall be taken as the base year for design of various components of the projects. Design periods of various components may be adopted as under:
S.No. Component Design Period Clarification from base year 30 Land will be required to add STPs. Accordingly, land should be acquired Cost of civil works is economical for full design period.

3.3. GROUND WATER INFILTRATION The quantum of ground water infiltration in sewers depends largely on the Depth of sewers and ground water table. Material and type of jointing and Workmanship. As the project town is situated on the banks of River Ganga, the water table in the town is very much near the ground. Looking to possibility of infiltration of ground water, it is proposed to adopt strict quality control measures for material & workmanship. However, a provision of infiltration in sewers is adopted as 250 litre/manhole/day. 3.4. FLOW FORMULAE The mannings formula is used to calculate the hydraulic gradient in sewers, as given below:

V = 1/n A2/3 S1/2


Where, V : Velocity of flow in meters per second n : Mannings Constant S : Slope of channel R : Hydraulic radius of section, meter

For salt-glazed pipes value 'n' has been adopted as .012 and for Reinforced Cement Concrete pipes value 'n' is 0.011.

3.5. VARIATION IN FLOW Since the flow in sewers varies considerably from hour to hour as such peak flows with the following peak function have been adopted for arriving at design flow as per guide lines provided in the Manual.
Contributory population Upto 20,000 20,000 to 50,000 50,000 to 7,50,000 Above 7.5 lacs Peak flow 3.00 2.5 2.25 2.0

3.6. PIPE MATERIAL Use of three types of wastewater pipes is more prevalent. These are precast concrete (PC), Vitrified Clay (VC) and plastic pipes). All pipes for wastewater drainage should be manufactured to the relevant Indian Standard. In practice, this does not always seem to be the case and so this needs to be checked before ordering and accepting delivery of pipes. The quality of pipes is also important when jointing. In considering the most appropriate pipe material for use in town, the following factors should be considered : Availability of sizes and fittings, when required, Cost of materials and installation, Durability - life expectancy, Durability - resistance to chemical and biological attack, Strength, Condition of installation, Size - for example, the maximum size for SWG is 600 mm diameter. 3.6.1. PRECAST CONCRETE (PC) PIPES:

Precast concrete pipes are manufactured as standard sewer pipes and as pressure pipes. For sewers, non-pressure, reinforced concrete pipes are normally used. In the past, collar joints have been used with plain-ended pipes, but these have now been superseded by rubber ring, spigot and socket joints. These pipes are governed by IS:458.

28

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

PC Pipes are manufactured in diameters from 80 to 2600 mm in accordance with BIS Standards, and can be supplied with rubber ring gaskets. The jointing system with rubber rings offers the potential for a water-tight and flexible joint which is easy to make in a trench. The pipes are manufactured in 2.0 m lengths for diameters up to 250 mm, and 2.5 m lengths for diameters above 250 mm. Plain ended PC pipes with collar joints are also manufactured, but these are not recommended. Disadvantages of concrete pipes include: limited range of fittings, risk of corrosion following hydrogen sulphide formation in sewers, need for good quality control and supervision over manufacture and jointing. Nevertheless, they have generally proved to be durable and have been used extensively. They are also relatively cheap. They are therefore recommended with the precaution that the standards and specifications for manufacture and installation will be followed. 3.6.2. VITRIFIED CLAY PIPES:

Salt glazed stoneware pipes (SW pipes) are manufactured to BIS Standards in diameters from 100 mm to 600 mm internal diameter in 50 mm steps. Pipes are manufactured in 600, 750 & 900 mm lengths with spigot and socket, cement mortar type joints. A wide range of fittings, including bends and gully traps, is available. Nowadays, rubber ring joints are also being used for pipes of diameter more than 150 mm. Vitrified clay pipes are brittle rigid pipes which are susceptible to breakages during transport and handling. Nevertheless, they are cheap, durable, and suitable for use with corrosive liquids and aggressive ground conditions. They are not susceptible to sulphide corrosion. They have been used extensively for use in house drains, house connections and for main sewers up to about 300 mm diameter. The main disadvantage of stoneware pipes compared with concrete pipes is the greater number of joints that are required because of the short lengths that are manufactured. This increases the cost of laying and increases the potential for infiltration through badly made joints if strong supervision is lacking during the construction phase.

29

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

SW pipes with flexible joints are not available. The standards for this pipe are governed by IS:651. 3.6.3. PLASTIC PIPES:

uPVC pressure pipes are manufactured in diameters from 75 mm up to 400 mm. The pipes are delivered in 5 or 6 m lengths and can be jointed by either rubber gaskets or by solvent welding. Normally, rubber gaskets are used for pipes larger than 100 mm. uPVC is an inert material, and is suitable for carrying many corrosive effluents and for laying in aggressive ground conditions. However, the pipes are susceptible to poor workmanship, when longitudinal warping, cross-sectional distortion and cracking have been experienced. Many of these factors are exacerbated by the thin walled sewer pipes, and it is recommended that, if uPVC pipes are to be used for sewers, then pressure pipes are used rather than sewer class pipework. It is also recommended that very careful attention is given during installation to pipe stacking, handling, trench bedding and backfilling procedures. The uPVC & HDPE pipe specifications are governed by IS Code 4685 and IS 4984. HDPE pipes of 160 mm are proposed to be used in narrow lanes and connected to main sewers using chambers. It is proposed to utilize uPVC pipe of diameter 100 mm for property connections in connecting individual property to public sewers. 3.6.4. DI PIPES

Ductile Iron pipe is also a possible solution for modern sewers. Ductiles long laying lengths and bottle-tight joints minimize potential infiltration and aid in construction. For most sizes, its larger inside diameters deliver up to several million gallons per day more flow than nominal pipe diameters. Its standard cement-mortar lining ensures an excellent friction coefficient and resistance to scour and cement deterioration from most domestic sewage. And its high material strength resists heavy impact, handles extreme external loadings, and in many cases, there is no need for special bedding or backfill. Ductile Iron pipe can be used in a wide variety of applications, including challenging conditions like deep trenches, shallow cover, seismic activity, subsequent adjacent excavations, beam loading, and ring crushing.
30

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

Ductile Iron pipe is especially suited for pressure sewer applications because its standard pressure classes provide for high operating pressures with a allowance for surge pressures. Surges, or hydraulic transients, are a very serious problem for pressure sewers as pump stations are vulnerable to power outages and surge control devices for raw wastewater are not always dependable. In this project, pressure sewers are proposed of Ductile Iron Pipe. The specifications of DI pipe in india are governed by IS:8329. 3.7. THE STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF SEWERS Sewers and other water pipelines need to be designed structurally so that when buried they can withstand all the external forces to which they are likely to be subjected. As sewers flow under gravity, there are no significant internal pressures to allow for. Providing bedding, haunching and surrounds, which may be of concrete or sand or gravel, are important ways of strengthening a pipeline to withstand higher loading. The basic data on which the need of additional support is determined are the actual strengths of the pipes used, the depths of the laid pipeline and its location (whether in a main road with fast moving traffic, or in a plot with pedestrian traffic only, etc.) The computation of loads on buried pipelines has been established by the work of Marston, Spangle and others, and is summarised in the CPHEEO manual. To allow for settlement and soil movement, it is recommended that all sewers are provided with flexible joints, which should also be selfcentering. Such joints are normally formed using rubber rings. The pipe spigots and the interiors of their sockets should be smooth and sound, and made to tolerances which allow this type of jointing. 3.8. MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SEWER PIPE SIZES 3.8.1. MINIMUM SEWER SIZES

The Design Manual recommends that the minimum sewer pipe size should be 150 mm diameter except for very hilly areas where it may be reduced to 100 mm diameter.

31

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

In many places, sewer blockages regularly occur in the smaller diameter sewers due to misuse by the public, and it is therefore usual to stipulate a minimum diameter of 200 mm for public sewers. It is proposed to adopt minimum size of proposed public sewers as 150 mm diameter. It should be noted that this minimum size does not apply to property connections. The suggested minimum size for these is 100 mm diameter. 3.8.2. MAXIMUM SIZES OF SEWERS

Theoretically, the maximum required size of a sewer pipe depends upon various factors including anticipated maximum flows, the available gradients and flow criteria. It also depends upon what large sizes of pipes are locally available. Economics are also important but are not the only factor to be considered. After a certain size, it becomes cheaper to construct duplicate sewers instead of a single large sewer, when every cost factor cost of pipes including handling and transport, costs of trench excavation and backfilling, costs of pipe laying and jointing, costs of pipe bedding and other support and protection, the anticipated annual increase in the flow with which the sewer must deal, etc. - is taken into account. 3.9. NORMAL MINIMUM DEPTHS FOR SEWERS It is not logical to specify a maximum depth for a sewer as this will be dictated by practical and economic considerations. The choice will normally be between having a deep sewer or having a sewerage pumping station. The suggested rule is that sewerage pumping stations should only be proposed with great reluctance, when absolutely necessary. Sewers should always if feasible be laid at depths which will accommodate not only all existing properties but also any future properties within the area which sewers are designed to serve. Minimum depths of cover over sewers are often given as 1200 mm in roads and 900 mm in all other areas. Normal current practice is to have at least 1 m cover above the top of the sewer. It should be noted that the depth of a sewer is not the distance between the sewer invert and the ground level.

32

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

However, applying these criteria to initial lengths of sewer in flat areas will lead to unnecessarily deep sewers, and the cost of providing protection to the first length of a shallow sewer will be saved by the reduction in depth of all the subsequent sewer lengths. A shallow sewer at a depth of 0.6 m, with adequate protection against damage by proper concrete shrouding, will be considered acceptable when this is justified economically and is not technically detrimental It is recommended to adopt a minimum depth of sewer as 1.0 mtrs in general and 0.6 mtr for shallow sewers. 3.10. 3.10.1. MANHOLE DESIGN AND SPACING MANHOLE DESIGN

The Design Manual has a comprehensive section on recommended manhole design with sizes, depending upon both the depth and the size of the sewers, for circular manholes as shown in the following Table 3.1 which are in general adopted.
Table 3.1: Minimum Diameters for Circular Manholes (Sewerage Manual, 1993)

Manhole Depth (m) 0.90 - 1.65 m 1.65 - 2.30 m 2.30 - 9.0 m 9.0 - 14.0 m

Minimum Manhole Diameter (mm) 900 mm 1200 mm 1500 mm 1800 mm

It is recommended to adopt these recommendations with suitable modification as described below: For Brick manholes, following four configurations have been adopted Type A B C D Manhole Depth (m) 0.90 - 1.65 m 1.70 - 2.50 m 2.60 - 5.0 m 5.1 - 9.0 m Minimum Manhole Diameter (mm) 900 mm 1200 mm 1500 mm 1800 mm

33

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

For RCC Manhole, two configurations type E (upto 3.5 mtr diameter) and F (beyond 3.5 mtr diameter) with different depth categories have been adopted: Type Outgoing Sewer Diameter 700 800 900 1000 1200 1400 Minimum Manhole Diameter (mm) 1400 1500 1550 1750 2000 2200

E&F

General observations: Manholes less than 4.5 m deep are normally circular in shape and constructed with cement-mortared Brick masonry with internal plastering. Circular construction is preferred to rectangular from strength considerations.. Manholes equal to 4.5 m depth or greater are constructed from cast in situ reinforced concrete or Precast concrete rings. Recently, pre-constructed plastic manhole have also been introduced in the market and the manufacturers claim several advantages for them such as ease of installation and speedier construction of the system, corrosion free service etc. However, the plastics are thermo-labile and may yield under superimposed loads especially during summers. Further, their protection against UV and abrasion is not yet established and they have to be proven by way of long service in tropical countries before their large-scale adoption can be considered. Manholes covers: Ferro Cement Covers/Cast Iron covers and frames were commonly used in the past in other towns but, because of the widespread theft of these for the scrap value of the cast iron, manhole covers are now usually Precast Ferro Cement type housed/fit in to a cast iron frame which is embedded in a reinforced concrete manhole cover slab. The same is proposed to be adopted for this project. Step irons: It is proposed to use Cast iron steps in this project. 3.10.2. MANHOLE SPACING
34

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

The Design Manual recommends that the maximum spacing of manholes on sewers which cannot be entered for cleaning or inspection should be 30 meters. For sewers of diameter above 900 mm, subject to operational and maintenance requirements / procedures the spacing may be in the range of 90 meters to 150 meters and for sewers exceeding 1500 mm diameter the spacing may be increased to 200 meters. It should be noted that the above criteria are qualified by the fact that manholes should be provided at every change of alignment, grade or diameter, at the head of every system and at every junction of two or more sewers. Additionally, it is a widely followed norm that all property connections should be connected to the sewerage system at a manhole. Therefore the actual spacing will generally be less than the standard spacing recommended by the Manual. 3.11. FLOW CAPACITY OF SEWERS

The Design Manual recommends that a sewerage system should be designed to flow 80% full at peak dry weather flow. The Design Manual says that storm water should not be expected to enter the sewerage system. 3.12. SEWAGE SEPTICITY & VENTILATION

Positive steps need to be made to minimise the chances of corrosion in the future. The recommended precautions are based mainly upon keeping the sewerage systems well ventilated. Sewer ventilation is necessary for several reasons including: to prevent undue concentrations of hydrogen sulphide and other gases potentially dangerous to concrete and other materials; to prevent undue concentrations of methane and other gases potentially dangerous to operatives; hydraulic requirements. The existing regulations and practices are the following: The Design Manual recommends that sewers are designed to flow at 80% of full capacity in order to allow for ventilation and indicates that ventilating columns should be considered on the sewerage system where there are older property connections with intercepting traps.
35

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

The National Building Code of India realises the need for and encourages sewer ventilation through ventilating pipes on property connections. The National Code describes and supports various domestic plumbing systems for dealing with both sullage and human excreta. It is recommended to adopt following practices Where ventilation pipes are provided as part of the house drainage connections, ventilation columns are not required on area sewers. It is recommended, however, that they are used on main trunk sewers for sizes above 450 mm with a spacing of 300 mtr. It is proposed that every property drainage system should have a vertical ventilating pipe at the upper end of every drain, in addition to any down-pipes discharging into other parts of the drains and which have ventilators to prevent water seals from being broken. 3.13. 3.13.1. SEWAGE PUMPING STATIONS AND PUMPING MAINS GENERAL

When a sewerage system is being designed the aim should be to avoid sewerage pumping stations wherever possible. This is because the pumps and associated equipment automatically form a weak point in the system. However they are necessary where gravity drainage is not feasible in low lying areas or where gravity drainage is not economical because of the cost of excavation. Sewage pumping is always a management problem. Sewage pumping results in the environmental impacts of noise and odor, and there are always environmental risks associated with failure of the pumping station. Also the station creates an environmental nuisance because of the need of vehicular access for repairs, maintenance and sludge removal. 3.13.2. RECOMMENDATIONS

All pumping station shall be preceded by a mechanical screen. A clear spacing between bars as 25 mm at lift station is adopted. For simplicity of maintenance, the sewerage pumping stations of the wet well type are proposed. The electrically driven submersible pumps should be unchokeable and wear-resisting types, capable of passing solids up to 100 mm spheres, and should operate close to their points of maximum

efficiency. Standby pump units should be provided at all pumping stations. Manual of Sewerage and Sewage treatment by CPHEEO recommends following arrangement of Pumps The capacity of pumps shall be adequate to meet the peak flow rate of flow with 50% standby. The capacity of pump is usually stated in terms of Dry Weather Flow (DWF) estimated for pumping station. 5 pumps are usually provided comprising of 2 of 1/2 DWF, 2 of 1 DWF and 1 of 3 DWF capacity. The vulnerability to power failure, and the potential impact of consequent flooding, is considered for each pumping station. Looking to the doubt for the reliability of the electricity supply, standby power diesel generators are proposed to be provided. All pumping station wet wells need to be ventilated to avoid a build-up of hydrogen sulphide. NRCD Guidelines Recommendations Preference may be given to submersible pumps wherever, feasible, they being cheaper and operation friendly. Configuration of sewage pumps shall be as below;
Where rising main is long Peak flow/2 pumps Non peak flow pumps Where rising main is short Peak flow/4 pumps 2 nos. 2 nos. 5 nos. 1 standby

It is proposed to provide submersible pumps 4 working and 1 standby in numbers of capacity Peak flow/4 at all the lift stations as per NRCD recommendations 3.13.3. PUMPING MAINS

The recommendations are as following: Pumping mains should be designed with a minimum velocity of 0.9 m/s to avoid sedimentation. The maximum velocity should be determined from an economic comparison between pipeline and energy costs for different diameters of pipe. The minimum diameter for pumping mains should be 150 mm to minimise the chances of blockages. Anchor blocks are required at all changes in direction of the pumping main.

Detailed Project Report

Where high points in the pumping main are absolutely unavoidable, sewage type air relief valves, including an isolating valve to aid maintenance, should be provided. Washouts, leading to a ditch or preferably to a nallah, should be provided at all low points. Manholes and other chambers into which pumping mains discharge should be well-ventilated to avoid a build-up of hydrogen sulphide, the release of which is commonly caused by turbulence. 3.14. SEWER CROSSINGS

Gravity trunk sewers must obviously cross beneath roads and railway tracks. They can either cross above nallahs on a pipe bridge, or they can cross beneath the nallah: It could be, but this is unlikely, that the sewer is so deep that it can cross under the nallah without altering manhole depths and gradients. Provided that there is sufficient cover between the top of the sewer and the firm, true bed of the river, then there is no problem. However, the sewer must always be protected by concrete against possibilities of scour. It is more likely that it will be possible to cross the nallah via a pipe bridge that is, by supporting each length of sewer pipe, which should be ductile iron or protected mild steel, on concrete or other rigid, firm pillars. This is acceptable provided that the sewer is sufficiently high so that it is clear of the water during maximum flood flow levels.

Chapter 4. Existing Infrastructure

4.1. EXISTING WATER SUPPLY 4.1.1. EXISTING ARRANGEMENTS The water supply of town is maintained by Public Health Engineering Department. Most of the areas are covered by water supply network only. There are no piped water supply arrangements maintained by any private body. The source of water for Municipal water supply of the town is ground water. There are number of tube-wells through which ground water is drawn. There are five service reservoirs of which three are working and other two are under construction. The location and capacity of these reservoirs is as given below: S.No. 1. 2. 3. Location Kalisthan Mufasil Thana Harrakh Kothi Capacity 1 lakh Gallon 1.2 lakh Gallon 1.6 lakh Gallon

There are 7 nos. of high yield tubewells at following locations: 1. PHED campus Khalisthan 2. State Bank campus main branch 3. Near SP office

4. Near Begusarai stadium 5. Harrakh Kothi 6. Division office chotti road 7. Near Mufasil Thana All these tubewells are in working conditions and are used for pumping water to Service Reservoirs and for boosting directly in water supply networks. There are three no. water treatment plants (only iron removal plant) in the town. In most of the houses, hand operated hand pumps are used to draw water from shallow ground water aquifer. Disinfection using chlorination is being practiced in the town water supply. The daily water production is about 6 lakh gallon and the daily water supply in the town is around 55 LPCD. In addition, almost all the households of the town have shallow hand pumps to meet their daily water requirement and the water table in town is quite shallow due to its proximity with Ganga rivers. Considering these private sources of water supply, the average daily water supply of the town is 135 LPCD. The average water table in the town is around 15 mtrs. 4.2. EXISTING STORM WATER DRAINAGE FACILITIES The district is drained by a no. of rivers viz. Ganga, Burhi Gandak, Bagmati and Balan rivers and in addition, small rivulets, dhars, nalas which are originated locally and preserve rain water, mark the landscape. Among the rivers, Ganga, Burhi Gandak, Kosi, Kareha and Bagmati are perennial, whereas Channa River, Bainti nadi, Kachna nadi, Monrya nadi and Malti nadi are seasonal. 4.2.1. EXISTING DRAINS The condition of existing drains is not satisfactory. The existing drains are in dilapidated condition. Moreover, due to inefficient solid waste disposal system in town, most of the drains are choked by polythene bags & other solid wastes and often overflows.

There are number of surface depression spread all across the town. In these depressions during monsoon, the rain water is collected causing a threat of public health & safety. The major locations where storm water & wastewater get collected are as follows: I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII. VIII. IX. X. XI. XII. Suja Mouja Mouja Alodipur Hemra Near Emu Mouja Mirjapur Bandumar simana Mouja Vishnupur Bahaur Near Mouja Mahmadpur Near Rohil Chowk Near Porwaria Road Near IOP Township Near Harhar mahadev Chowk Near Nav Mandir Nala road All along the railway track

These areas are dewatered with the help of main drains. Municipality take care of the main drains and if necessary pump the water into the main drain and let the water to go into Sujabharra moorg near the railway line, where the waste water is finally disposed. 4.3. EXISTING SEWERAGE SYSTEM

42

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

There is no sewerage system in the town. The sewage & wastewater is disposed of using different on-site sanitation methods. 4.3.1. SANITATION METHODS The most common on-site wastewater treatment & disposal practice adopted in town is Septic Tank. In most of the households in newly developed areas and in areas within already developed city the houses with adequate space within its premises wastewater from water closets is connected to septic tanks. The supernatant from these septic tanks is discharged in road side gutters. This wastewater is drained to nearest depression creating pond there. Kutcha toilets are not uncommon in the town. Though under various programmes, a large number of kutcha toilets are converted in flushed toilets, still in the high density area where individual households have no open space around, one can find kutcha toilets. Open defecation is also not uncommon in the town. In areas lying at outskirts of town, open defecation is very common in the town. In general, the sullage water fixtures & fittings are connected with open storm water collection system. All the sullage from different household activities is discharged in roadside drains. The sullage after flowing in drains is collected in nearby local surface depressions. This collected sullage creates unsightly conditions in the locality. These ponds of collected sullage are potential threat to public health as these are breeding grounds of mosquitoes etc. 4.3.2. COMMUNITY TOILETS In all, there are seven community toilets in the town. The location of these community toilets is as follows:

by

NGO

The general drainage of the town is through open drains and these drains often find their way to nearby rivers Ganga increasing the pollution load on receiving waters and consequently deteriorating water quality of these rivers and damaging the aquatic ecology of these rivers. The absence of appropriate sanitation facilities has led to gross contamination of nallahs and surface water in and around the town, posing high risks through water borne diseases. The present system of disposal of WC effluents is through open drains or septic tank. These drains dispose in lower areas and ponds thereby creating crude pollution of environment and water bodies. Only few house holders have got septic tanks constructed in their houses. The effluent from septic tanks is discharged in open drains and are often overflow, causing bed smell, unhygienic condition & breeding of mosquitoes. Carrying sullage through open drainage system is entirely unsatisfactory and unhygienic. Generally, disposal through septic tanks are recommended only for isolated dwellings away from habitat. With the increasing population and rise in population density of residential area, the problem may become serious for disposal of effluent from septic tanks, because of poor soaking capacity of the soil. Besides due to increasing pressure on land for residential purposes, sufficient land may not be available for providing on site disposal system in the already developed residential areas (old areas). Location of large number of soak pit/septic tanks within the area of municipal council, must be causing pollution of groundwater in the vicinity. In the absence of safe disposal system of sewage as mentioned above, the people of Begusarai are facing unhealthy and unhygienic environment therefore public representatives are also demanding facilities of sewerage system on priority basis. The town requires sound drainage and sewerage especially because the soil, owing to irrigated area/ canal /high level of water table, does not have soaking capacity. After execution of sewerage system by providing underground sewer pipe line network followed by sewerage treatment plant, there will be a marked improvement in water quality of river Ganga and the public of

Chapter 5. Population Projection

5.1. HISTORICAL TREND The experience of Indian urbanization can be broadly classified into four periods: pre-1920, 1920-1947, post-1947 till 1991(liberalization) and post liberalization. In the pre-1920 period, urbanization largely was a result of commerce and trade rather than industry, with security playing a small but significant role in some cases. The initial growth, till 1931, was extremely slow, but began to pick up pace as the influence of transportation sector expansion was added to the influence of the manufacturing and service sectors. Bihar has the second highest density of population, despite being the least urbanized. In terms of distribution of age, it is also the youngest state in India. Bihar has just 130 in Class I, II and III categories. The state has ten Class I towns, 23 Class II towns and 97 Class III towns. Even more interestingly in Bihar we see a reversal of the trend of fast rising urbanization, seen not only in the rest of the country, but also the entire developing world. In terms of urbanization Bihar has the least number of people living in towns with just 15.2% residing in them as compared to 28.8% in the rest of India. There seems to be a reverse flow in the last decade with urban Bihar actually contracting from 11.4 million in 1991 to 8.7 million in 2001, a decrease of 23.6% though the states decennial population growth rate of 28.4% was among the highest in the country. One reason for this is the loss of Jharkhand with large towns like Ranchi, Dhanbad and

47

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

Hazaribagh and with the urbanized population accounting for 6 million of its 26.9 million. Even after accounting for this significant event, the level of urbanization in 2001 was 13.19%, which is marginally less than what it was (13.38%) in 1991. The declining pace of urbanization in Bihar can be attributed to low industrialization around (and in) urban areas, which has possibly discouraged youths from rural areas in quest of employment to migrate to the cities of the state. The deteriorating physical conditions in the towns contribute just as much as the lack of economic opportunity to the reversal in urbanization in Bihar. The approach to the process of urbanization until recently has been largely "reactive" in the sense that problems have sought to the addressed in a knee-jerk manner. Urban planning needs to be anticipating and based upon an integrated approach to address the various dimensions of urban development. Nevertheless, the growth of population and marginal influx into urban areas has put the aging and creaking urban infrastructure and services under a severe stress. The increasing pressure on urban environment is taking its toll on the quality of life of the urban population. In addition to the low industrialization of truncated Bihar, until recently, there is little by way of urban construction or renewal in Bihar. The population figures of Begusarai city must be viewed in the above context as well and interpreted accordingly. The census data available for the past decades for town of Begusarai are reproduced below:

(iii) Geometric Increase Method

Manual on water supply says that i. Arithmetical Increase method is generally applicable to large and old cities. This method gives a low value and is suitable for well settled and established communities. Geometrical increase method gives much higher value and is mostly applicable for growing towns and cities having vast scope for expansion. Incremental increase method increases the figures obtained by the arithmetical increase method.

POPULATION PROJECTION The Sewerage System is recommended to serve for a period of 30 years as per guidelines of the Manual on Sewerage & Sewage Treatment published by C.P.H.E.E.O., Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India, therefore, the design period of the proposed system has been adopted as Year 2041 with the assumption that the project execution will start in 2009 and project facilities will start functioning by Year 2011. The population of Begusarai town has been projected using Arithmetic increase, Incremental Increase, Geometric Increase and Graphical Projection methods. The growth rates for past decades from 1961 onwards have been considered, as census data for pre-independence decades and few past independence decades are not representative of currently observed growth trends.

Considering the Growth potential and physical limitations, Wards of Begusarai town have been divided in three Categories; which are: I II III Wards with high growth potential. Wards with moderate growth potential. Fully saturated wards

The areas especially of 9, 12, 18, 24 to 28, 33 are already in an overly developed state and. The wards covering such areas are considered to grow at low pace. The areas in wards e.g. 2, 3, 4, 6, 15 and 35 have significant open areas and reasonable to good connectivity and are expected to grow at much higher pace on these accounts. Rest of the areas are considered in category II which are either physically constrained e.g. due to railway lines, canals, rivers etc. and have only a moderate scope for future growth.

The major geographical features that delimit the zonal boundaries in Begusarai town are National Highway No 28 and Railway line. Considering the ground relief, the major sewerage zones emerges are as follows: Sewer network for Zone-1 covers entire Northern part of the town. It is bounded by Suja Mouja Railway line on the Southern side which separates it from rest of the town. This zone consists of ward no. 1, 2, 3, 25 and 26, covering the areas, Mouja Bagh, Nagdah Mouga, Suja Mouga, Airam road, etc. It collects the entire sewerage of this Zone and brings it to the node N-88 near Hanuman Mandir near Begusarai Mueseum, from where it is pumped to manhole no.N-89 of Zone-2 across the Railway line through the rising mains in the Southward direction. Sewer network for Zone-2 covers entire Eastern, Western and Southern part of the town. This zone consists of thirty three wards out of which around sixteen wards are in Western direction (ward no. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19) and the rest seventeen wards are in Eastern direction (ward no. 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36) and covering the areas, Mauja Mahmadpur Raghunath, Harhar Mahadev chowk, IOP Township, Mauja Pipra Itwa, Rohil chowk, Mouja Makhsaspur Hemra Mouja, Mouja Alodipur Hemra, Emu Mouja, Mirjapur Bandumar Simana, Mauja Vishnupur Bahaur, etc. This network collects the entire sewerage of this Zone and brings it to the node N-27 in ward no. 32, from where it is pumped to manhole no.N-34 of the same ward through the rising mains in the South-East direction. It also connects the sewers at various nodes under gravity to the main trunk carrying the sewerage of Zone-1. This network does not encounter any railway crossing or any River crossing in its way. The main trunk carrying the entire sewerage of the town discharges the waste under gravity to the STP near Wajidpur Village outside the town. 6.3. PROPOSED NETWORK LAYOUT Sewer networks layout is planned for the project area keeping in consideration following broad principles. Minimise the crossings of major barriers like National highways, Railways, Rivers, Drains, canals. Sewers are laid along natural drainage line to minimize the depth of excavation.

DESIGN OF SEWERAGE NETWORK Proposed Sewerage network has been designed using the design principles described in Chapter 3: Design criteria. The major criteria used are provided below: A per capita water supply figure of 135 LPCD with 80% contributing to wastewater is adopted to arrive at expected wastewater flows in sewers. An infiltration value of 250 lit/manhole/day in pipe is adopted considering the high water table in the town. A minimum diameter of sewer pipe is adopted as 150 mm as currently in practice. A minimum earth cover of 1.0 m is kept for all the pipes. For sewer pipes in initial reaches, it is difficult to achieve the minimum velocity of 0.8 m/s. It is proposed to lay 150 mm diameter sewers at a gradient of 1 in 160 and to have provision of mobile flushing units for regular flushing all initial sewers at regular time interval. All subsequent pipes are designed to achieve a minimum flow velocity of 0.8 m/sec.

6.5. STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF SEWER PIPES Generally sewers are laid in ditches or trenches by excavation in natural or undisturbed soil and then covered by refilling the trench to the original ground level. 6.5.1. LOAD PRODUCING FORCES
60

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

The vertical dead load to which a conduit is subjected under trench conditions is the result of two major forces. The first component is the prism of soil within the trench and above the top of the pipe and the second is due to the friction or shearing forces generated between the prism of soil in the trench and the sides of the trench produced by settlement of backfill .the resultant load on the horizontal plane at the top of the pipe at the top of the pipe within the trench is equal to the weight of the backfill minus these upward shearing forces. Soil loads The loads on rigid conduits in trench condition is given by the marstons formula in the form Wc = Cd x w x B2 x d Wc = the load on the pipe in kg per linear meter W = the unit of backfill soil in kg/m3 Bd = the width of trench at the top of the pipe in m and Cd =the load coefficient which is a function of a ratio of height of fill to the friction coefficient between and the backfill and the sides of the trench.

Equation gives the total vertical load due to backfill in the horizontal Plane at the top of the conduits as shown in fig, if the pipe is rigid. For Flexible conduits ,the formula may be modified as Wc = Cd w Bc Bd Where Bc is the outside width of the conduit in m Concentrated load The formula load due to superimposed load such as a truck wheel is Is given in the following from by Holls integration of Boussinesq,s Formula Wsc = Cs (PF/L) Where Wsc = the load on the conduit in kg/m p = the concentrated load in kg acting on the surfaces F = the impact factor(1.0 for air field runways 1.5 for the highway Traffic and the air field taxi ways, 1.75 for the railways traffic Cs = the load coefficient which is a function of Bc/2H and L/2H

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

H = the height of the top of the conduits to ground surface in m Bc = the outside width of conduit in m, and L = the effective length of the conduit to which the load is transmitted in m.

The effective length of the conduit is defined as the length over which the average load due to surface traffic units produces the same stress in the conduit wall as does the actual load which varies in intensity from point to point. This is generally taken as 1M or the actual length of the conduit if ti is less than 1m.) 6.5.2. SUPPORTING STRENGTH OF RIGID CONDUIT

The ability of a conduit to resist safely the calculated earth load depends not only on its inherent strength but also on the distribution of the vertical load and bedding reaction and on the lateral pressure acting against the sides of the conduit. The inherent strength of a rigid conduit is usually expressed in terms of the three edge bearing test results, the conditions of which are, however different from the field load conditions. The magnitude of the supporting strength of a pipe as installed in the field is dependent upon the distribution of the vertical load and the reaction against the bottom of the pipe. It also depends on the magnitude and distribution of the lateral pressure acting on the sides of the pipe. 6.5.3. LOAD

The granular material used must stabilize the trench bottom in addition to providing a firm and uniform support for the pipe. Well graded crushed rock or gravel with the maximum size not exceeding 25mm is recommended for the purpose 6.5.4. TECHNO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

The combination of pipe class and pipe bedding is arrived at by carrying out a detailed techno-economic analysis. The unit rates of pipe laying and pipe beddings are analyzed using SoRs currently enforced in State of Bihar. For different pipe diameters and invert depths, the various combinations of pipe classes and pipe beddings are analyzed for their load carrying capacity with required factor of safety. The loads are computed as per recommendations of CPHEEO manual and as discussed above. The rates of all the combinations of pipe classes and bedding types is calculated. The final pipe class and bedding type combination is selected which can withstand the imposed loads and which is most cost-effective.

Chapter 7. Wastewater Treatment Process

7.1. GENERAL Wastewater management is a costly business. Once wastewaters (i.e. any combination of domestic sewage and industrial effluents) are produced and collected in sewerage systems, then treatment becomes a necessity. Sewage has been seen as a problem requiring treatment and disposal. Most conventional sewage treatment options are based on approaches, which usually meant a reduction in biodegradable organic material and suspended solids, plus perhaps some nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous). Treatment has involved the removal of these pollutants, but removal is usually conversion to another product, usually sludge. The disposal of sewage sludge is a major consideration, and it is often seen as an offensive product which is either dumped (now required to be landfilled or used as compost) or burned. 7.2. SEWAGE CHARACTERISTICS While determining quantity of flow it is essential to decide the capacity of the treatment plant, equally important is to determine the characteristics of the inflowing sewage on which depends the choice of treatment methods/processes that may be adopted. Assessing the quality also helps in

deciding the beneficial uses that the effluent after treatment may be put to. presence of industrial discharge, if any, can also be determined presence of surfactants toxicants or other interfering compounds like

quantity of nutrients present to support biological processes. Domestic sewage primarily consists of spent water from kitchens, bathrooms and toilets etc. The factors that influence the variation in sewage quality are per capita consumption of water and economic status as it affects water usage habits. 7.2.1. IMPORTANT PARAMETERS

Important parameters with relation to sewage quality reaching the proposed STP are discussed below 7.2.1.1.
PH VALUE

Normally due to various products used in households, pH of sewage is higher (alkaline) than that of water supply. Discharge of small quantities of trade effluent from textile processing units is not likely to affect the pH of sewage. However if sewage flows long distance and is in not properly ventilated sewers, it may turn septic i.e. pH may get reduced. In present case sewers are of adequate size and well ventilated, therefore development of septic conditions is not expected. 7.2.1.2. SOLIDS

It is obvious that solids, suspended and dissolved in spent water is considerably higher than that in water supply. Though concentration of solids is usually less than 1 percent, it contains substantial quantity of putrescible (biodegradable) matter, which on decomposition yield foul odour. Amount of suspended solids in ambient air is high all through the year. This as well as the fact that in many households (especially in low income group) ash or soil is used for cleaning the utensils results in higher concentration of suspended solids (inorganic) in sewage. Cooking waste, disposal of leftover and toilet effluents contribute to suspended solids of organic nature. 7.2.1.3. NUTRIENTS

Basic nutrients of importance in STP are Nitrogen and Phosphorus compounds. Leftover food materials containing proteins and other food
66

Detailed Project Report

residues contain both the N and P compounds. Nutrients concentration in relation to BOD in the approximate ratio of 100(BOD) : 5(N) : 1(P) is considered adequate to support biological processes in STP. The sewage analysis shows the presence of these in adequate quantity. 7.2.1.4. BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (BOD)

BOD is a measure of concentration of biodegradable matter present in water, measured under a standardized test procedure. Based on the long term studies of sewage from various towns in India, it has been inferred that on an average per person contribution of BOD is 45 gms/day. BOD is an important parameter based on which secondary/tertiary biological processes are designed and effluent discharge standards are set. Wastewater containing degradable organic matter (BOD) when discharged in a water body (river or lake) it consumes oxygen in the process of oxidation of degradable matter, which results in depletion of dissolved oxygen levels. Depletion of dissolved oxygen below the levels of 4 mg/l may result in mortality of fish and other aquatic life. This in a way also governs the BOD concentrations that may be permitted in treated effluent. If the effluent is discharged in a perennial river with substantial discharge, higher BOD may be permitted as the rivers have their own self purification capacity. 7.2.1.5. CHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (COD)

COD represents the total oxygen required to oxidize all the organic matter, degradable and non-degradable (refractory) present in sewage as well as the oxygen consumed in oxidizing some of the inorganic salts under the test conditions. As is clear from the definitions of BOD and COD, COD representing overall oxygen requirements is always higher than BOD. Further BOD to COD ratio is taken as biodegradability of the waste water. Sewage normally has ratios varying from 1:2 to 1:2.5 and is considered as degradable. 7.2.2. EXISTING WATER/WASTEWATER CHEMICAL ANALYSIS

To estimate the expected pollution load on proposed Sewage Treatment Plant & to decide on treatment process, it is essential to have a thorough knowledge of the strength of expected influent in terms on concentration of various pollutants. It is equally necessary to have the knowledge of concentration of various elements & compounds in drinking water supplied to town as the users only add pollution to this supplied water.

7.2.2.2.

WASTEWATER CHARACTERISTICS

An understanding of the nature of wastewater is fundamental to the design and operation of wastewater collection, treatment, and reuse facilities. Wastewater is characterized in terms of its physical, chemical, and biological composition. Greater emphasis is being It is not possible to assess the quality of sewage being generated as there is no sewerage system. Whatever wastewater is flowing in open drains is primarily sullage water discharged from kitchens and bathrooms mixed with effluent from septic tanks. Even the discharge in open drains is subjected to seepage and can not be representative. On the other hand CPHEEO Manual on Sewerage and Sewage Treatment, based on its vast experience, has recommended values to be adopted for towns in India. Alternatively, the Manual of Sewerage & Sewage Treatment published by CPHEEO recommends a per capita contribution of 90 gms of Suspended Solids and 45 gms of BOD5 Days, 20Deg C. The per Capita water supply for the town is 135 LPCD as recommended by Manual of Water Supply Published by CPHEEO. These figures exclude the Unaccounted for Water(UfW). Wastewater manual recommends following:

68

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

Generally, a 80% of water supply is expected to reach public sewers unless the data available to the contrary. However, the sewers should be designed for a minimum wastewater flow of 100 liters per capita per day. Adopting these recommendations, a wastewater contribution per capita per day comes to be 80/100 * 135 i.e. 108 liters. The BOD concentration in wastewater comes to be 45*1000/108 i.e. 417 mg/l and Suspended solids concentration comes to be 90*1000/108 i.e. 834 mg/l. However, as indicated above, this does not include sundry UfW flows into the sewers (which may be as high as 40% of water supplied). Further, it has been established by research that the entire sewerage system acts as flow through reactor with significant load of SS & BOD being removed prior to entry into STP. 7.2.3.

(through constant velocity channels) to remove the gross solid pollution. Primary: usually plain sedimentation; simple settlement of the solid material in sewage can reduce the polluting load by significant amounts. Secondary: for further treatment and removal of common pollutants, usually by a biological process. Tertiary/Advanced: usually for removal of specific pollutants e.g. nitrogen or phosphorous, or specific industrial pollutants. When reuse is contemplated, the tertiary treatment may comprise of several other unit

processes/operations such as disinfection, activated carbon filtration, membrane filtration or even RO, depending on the end use contemplated and also on the ease and cost of the fresh water availability and legal stipulations. Needless to say, this can be by far the costliest step of wastewater treatment. 7.4. SELECTION OF TREATMENT PROCESS As mentioned above the sewage after giving primary treatment is given secondary treatment to remove the organic purtrescible organic matters and bring down the BOD of the effluent given to the primary treated effluent is described below:Waste Stabilization Ponds Aerated Lagoons Up Flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASBR) + FAL Conventional Activated Sludge Process Cyclic Activated Sludge Process/SBR 7.4.1. STABILIZATION PONDS

Stabilization ponds are open, flow through earthen basins specifically designed and constructed to treat sewage. Stabilization pond provides comparatively long detention periods extending from few to several days. During this period purtrescible organic matter in the waste is stabilized in the pond through a symbiotic relationship between bacteria and algae. There are three types of stabilization ponds, a) Aerobic Ponds b) Anaerobic ponds c) Facultative ponds 7.4.1.1. AEROBIC PONDS

In this type of ponds complete aerobic conditions is maintained. These types of ponds are used for soluble wastes which allow penetration of light throughout the liquid depth. These types of ponds are shallow with depth less than 0.5 m. The pond contents are periodically mixed. The major disadvantage is that such ponds develop intense algal growth. 7.4.1.2. ANAEROBIC PONDS

Anaerobic ponds are used as a pretreatment for high strength industrial wastes and sometimes of municipal wastewaters. BOD load of 400 3000
71

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

Detailed Project Report

kg/ha./day and 5 50 days detention period would result in 50 855 BOD reduction. Such ponds are constructed for a depth of 2.5 5 m to conserve heat and minimize land area requirement. Major constraint with such ponds is odor problem and hence not widely used. 7.4.1.3. FACULTATIVE PONDS

The facultative ponds functions aerobically at the surface while anaerobic conditions prevail at the bottom. The aerobic layer acts as a good check against odour evolution from the pond. The treatment effected by this type of pond is comparable to that of conventional secondary treatment processes. The functioning of facultative stabilization pond are based on the symbiotic relationship of bacteria and algae. In the tope aerobic layer, where oxygen is supplied through algal photosynthesis, the non settle able and dissolved organic matter in the incoming sewage is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water. In addition some end products of partial anaerobic decomposition such as volatile acids and alcohol, which may permeate to upper layers are also oxidized aerobically. The settled sludge mass originating from raw waste and microbial synthesis in the aerobic layer and dissolved and suspended organics in bottom layers undergo stabilization through conversion to methane which escapes the pond in form of bubble. For each kg of BOD ultimate stabilized 0.25 kg or 0.35 m3 of methane is formed. 7.4.1.4. DISADVANTAGES

The facultative ponds shall be located far away from habitations or any area likely to be built up within a reasonable future period. The pond shall be located such that the direction of prevailing wind is towards uninhabited areas. The pond location shall be away from ground water source to avoid chemical or bacterial pollution. It creates mosquito nuisance and hence adversely affects public health. The system is unable to take care of shock loads. If the normal working is upstate it creates sight and foul small nuisance. The effluent quality from stabilization pond is poor, it has high values of total suspended solids and total BOD5.

It requires very high area i.e. around 12 to 13 Hectare for 12 MLD so in view to above disadvantages and limitation for availability of land this method of treatment is not suitable for such towns. 7.4.2. AERATED LAGOONS

Aerated lagoons are simple earthen basins with inlet at one end and outlet at the other end. The mechanical aerators are designed to stabilize the organic matter into CO2 and H2O. The biological process does not include algae, and organic stabilization depends on the mixed liquor that develops within the lagoon. There is no provision for setting and returning activated, sludge. BOD removal is a function of aeration period, temperature and nature of wastewater. Aerated lagoons are of two types, a) Aerobic Flow Through with partial mixing b) Facultative Aerated Lagoons.

7.4.2.1.

AEROBIC LAGOONS

This are fully aerobic from top to bottom as the aeration power input is sufficiently high to keep all the solids in suspension and meeting the oxygen demand of the microbes. No solids settlement occurs in the lagoons and under equilibrium conditions the new microbial solids produced in the system equal the solids leaving the system. Thus, the solids concentration in the effluent is relatively high and some sedimentation facility has to be provided after lagoons. Disadvantages Problems of odors and low efficiency result when aerated lagoons are improperly designed or poorly operated. Deposition of solids and reduced oxygenation can result in anaerobic Decomposition which leads to foul odor. Temperature changes affect the overall performance of the lagoon.

FACULTATIVE AERATED LAGOONS

In such types of lagoons some solids may leave the effluent stream and some settle down in the lagoon as the aeration power input is enough for oxygenation and not keeping all solids in suspension. Because the energy

input will not maintain the solids in suspension, a portion of the incoming solids will settle along with a portion of the biological solids produced from conversion of the soluble organic substance. The settled solids will undergo anaerobic decomposition. In such types of lagoons lower part may be anoxic or anaerobic and upper layers are aerobic. Facultative lagoons must be dewatered and the accumulated solids must be removed. Where a discharge limit has to be met reliably facultative lagoons are not being used. Comparison of Various Types of Lagoons Parameters TSS, mg/L BOD Removal Sludge Facultative Aerobic Lagoons 40-150 150-350 80-90% 50-60% Accumulated internally in Accumulated in the lagoon external sedimentation facility Less More

Power Consumption

Total area required for facultative aerated lagoons are very high i.e. 12 to 13 Hectare for 12 MLD and in view to above disadvantages and limitations of availability of required huge land it is not advisable to adopt this technology. 7.4.3. UPFLOW ANAEROBIC FILTER PROCESS (UASB)

This is based on anaerobic process. Raw effluent after screening and grit removal is directly fed into UASB reactors. The reactor maintains a high concentration of anaerobic biomass through formation of highly settle able microbial aggregates. Untreated sewage inside the reactor flows upward through a layer of sludge while getting treated for organics, converting them into methane gas. At top of the reactor, phase separation between gas solid liquid takes and treated water is taken out form the reactor. This process is very sensitive to operating conditions like temperature, pH, incoming load and recirculation rate hence treatment efficiency keeps fluctuating. At best operating conditions, the process offer 50 70% treatment efficiency, therefore requires second stage biological treatment down stream. Anaerobic process has very slow growth rates of micro

organism and hence these systems have poor treatment efficiencies of only 50-70%. In order to achieve disposal outlet quality of treated sewage, second stage aerobic biological units are required. Typical outlet quality from anaerobic reactors is suspended solids 50 ppm, COD: 200 ppm, BOD 100 120 ppm for an inlet quality of TSS 300 ppm, COD 400 ppm and BOD 300 ppm. The system generates bad odor, as process releases gases like H2S and methane. Anaerobic process is very difficult to control. It requires consistent feed quality as well as flow rates. The process of degradation is a 3 step fermentation process comprising different sets of bacteria, to generate methane gas and CO2 Hydrolysis Acidogenisis Methanogenisis It requires constant monitoring of acidogenesis and methano genesis phases in the anaerobic reactor. The process is pH sensitive. Methanogenisi reaction occurs in a pH range of 6-7.5 only, while during acidogenisis phase the ph may drop to 2.0 also due to formation of complex acids. This disturbs the complete equilibrium and further reduces treatment efficiency. Temperature dependent: The process works in the range of 18 38 deg centigrade. During winter season when ambient temp Drops to 1 2 degree, provision has to be made to heat the entire contents of the reactor or else treatment efficiency drops drastically. There is No control on any process parameters. The plants run continuously at all times including low flow/ Nil flow conditions. Plant is manually controlled and difficult to monitor. It is susceptible to variation in inlet conditions BOD, COD, sulphide levels, pH and temp condition, which directly influences treatment efficiency as well as quantity of gas generation. Since It is a point load design cannot handle sudden peak flow variation, which is expected for any large scale city sewage system. Normally 0 250% flow variation is present for any sewage treatment plant. Gas can be generated, however process is not economical for low strength effluents like sewage where input BOD is less than 300 ppm. Further more for financial viability it is important to utilize the gas either directly in boilers or house holds. In case power is to be generated it again requires capital investment by putting duel fuel engines. Also provision has to be made for gas storage facility with flare system installed at site. Gas production is not consistent, and varies in case there is any disruption in

the process. Due to Process chemistry acids are generated, pH in anaerobic reactors varies from 2-7, which essentially requires SS domes and FRP lining of complete tank internals. Problem of internal corrosion is very high and cost of maintenance is very high. More technical data have been compared with aerobic process in separate sheet.. 7.4.4. ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESS

Activated Sludge Process (AEROBIC PROCESS) is the most used biological waste water treatment process in the developed and developing countries. Due to aerobic process in Activated Sludge Process, plant has less odor/vector nuisance in compare to anaerobic type process as mentioned above. The conventional activated sludge processes are of three types, a) Conventional System b) Complete Mixed c) Extended Aeration a) Conventional System This type of system consists of an aeration tank, a secondary settling tank, a sludge recirculation system and sludge withdrawal system. About 85-92% of BOD removal can be achieved. The sewage and mixed liquor are input at the head of the tank and withdrawn at the end. Air is supplied at uniform rate throughout the length of the tank. b) Completely Mixed In a complete mixing is achieved by distributing the sewage and return sludge uniformly along one side of the tank and withdrawing the aerated sewage uniformly along the opposite side. The complete mix system has a high capacity to hold a high MLSS level in the aeration tank enabling the aeration tank volume to be reduced. The plant has high operational stability at shock loadings and also increased capacity to treat toxic biodegradable wastes. Limitations BOD Removal is 85 92. In complete mix activated sludge process operation of anaerobic digestion requires a more skill labor here primary settling and anaerobic digestion of the sludge are omitted. The process is susceptible to filamentous sludge bulking. c) Extended Aeration

The extended aeration process is little change of the activated sludge process which employs low organic loading, long aeration time, high MLSS concentration and low F/M. Other way which provides a biological treatment for the removal of biodegradable organic waste under aerobic condition. Air may be supplied by mechanical or diffused aeration to provide by aeration or mechanical means to maintain the microbial organisms in contact with the dissolved organics. In addition PH must be controlled to optimize the biological process and essential nutrients must be present to facilitate biological growth and the continuation of biological degradation. Sewage after primary treatment enters to the aeration chamber, where it is mixed and oxygen is provided to the micro organisms. The mixed liquor then flows to a clarifier of secondary settling tank where most micro organisms settle to the bottom of the clarifier. The sludge from clarifier is recycled back to aeration tank and remaining part is withdrawn from the system. Because of the long detention time in the aeration tank,organic solids undergo considerable endogenous respiration and get well stabilized. So the excess sludge from clarifier dose not require separate digestion and can directly dried on sand beds. The clarified waste water flows over a weir used for sewage farming purpose. The BOD removal efficiency is high i.e. (90 95) compare to Completely Mix Methodology. Limitations This treatment requires a slightly larger area than the complete mix activated sludge, Here waste water is brought directly to aeration basin after screening and grit removal. Aeration energy used is high and relatively required large aeration tanks, adaptable mostly to very small plants. However this is better in conventional range of process. Importance of Secondary Settling Tank in Activated Sludge Process Secondary settling assumes considerable importance in the activated sludge process. The secondary settling tank of activated sludge process is particularly sensitive to fluctuation in flow rate and on this account it is recommended that the units be designed not only for average flow rate but also for peak flow rate. The high concentration of suspended solids in the effluent requires that the solids loading rate shall also be considered. 7.4.5. CYCLIC ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESS/SEQUENTIAL BATCH REACTOR (CASP/SBR)

77

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

Detailed Project Report

This is the most improved and scientific version of activated sludge process which gives excellent treated water quality in sewage treatment plants, requires less area, less energy etc. Batch Operation of the activated sludge process is nothing new as already mentioned in CPHEEO. A Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) is a fill and draw activated treatment system. As such, SBR are capable of handling all waste waters commonly treated by conventional activated sludge plants. Municipal and industrial waste waters have both been successfully treated in SBR systems. The unit process involved in the SBR and conventional activated sludge systems are identical. Aeration and sedimentation/clarification are carried out in both systems. However, there is one important difference. In conventional plants, processes are carried out simultaneously in separate tanks, whereas in SBR the processes are carried out sequentially in the same tank. The Process CYCLIC ACTIVATED SLUDGE TREATMENT process provides highest treatment efficiency possible in a single step biological process. The system is operated in a batch reactor mode this eliminates all the inefficiencies of the continuous processes. A batch reactor is a perfect reactor, which ensures 100% treatment. Four modules are provided to ensure continuous treatment. The complete process takes place in a single reactor, within which all biological treatment steps take place sequentially. The complete biological operation is divided into cycles. Each cycle is of 3 5 hrs duration, during which all treatment steps take place. Explanation of cyclic operation: A basic cycle comprises: 1) Fill- Aeration (F/A) 2) Settlement (S) 3) Decanting (D) These phases in a sequence constitute a cycle, which is then repeated. During the period of a cycle, the liquid is filled in the Basin up to a set operating water level. Aeration Blowers are started for aeration of the effluent. After the aeration cycle, the biomass settles, No extra settling unit is required after the aeration basin. The Cyclic Activated Sludge Process/SBR comprises the following features,

Biological SELECTOR zone The incorporation of a biological SELECTOR in the front end of the Cyclic Activated Sludge process/SBR distinguishes it from all other technologies.

79

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

Detailed Project Report

The raw effluent enters the SELECTOR zone, where ANOXIC MIX conditions are maintained. Part of the treated effluent along with return sludge from the aeration basin is recycled in here, using RAS pumps. As the micro organisms meet high BOD, low DO condition in the SELECTOR, natural selection of predominantly floc forming micro organisms takes place. This is very effective in containing all of the known low F/M bulking micro organisms, eliminates problems of bulking and sludge foaming. This process ensures excellent settling characteristics of the bio sludge. SVI of treated effluent of less than 120 is achieved in all seasons. Also due to the anoxic conditions in the SELECTOR zone, De nitrification and phosphorous removal occurs in case the Ammonical nitrogen and phosphorous levels are high in the effluent. The figure below shows the experience with SVI developments in parallel operations with a wastewater that traditionally favours sludge Oxygen Uptake Rate (OUR) Control The process uses measurement of dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the basin to provide a full scale control of the activity level in the aeration basin. The DO concentration profile is automatically ramped to operate at slightly higher DO concentrations at the end of the cycle. This feature prevents low dissolved oxygen type filaments from proliferating. Once DO level is measured in the basins, the rate of drop in DO level is calibrated to know the actual oxygen uptake rate (OUR) of the biomass. In this way, the metabolic activity of the biomass is measured within the actual process basin and is subsequently used as a control parameter to automatically regulate the duration of the aeration sequence and/ or the rate of aeration. Aeration Cycle time can be altered automatically, or else a variable frequency drive automatically alters the aeration blower rpm. This methodology provides a true in basin method for the efficient use of energy. Decanter Assembly in Stainless Steel The clean supernatant is removed from the basin using a Decanter assembly complete in stainless steel construction. During decanting there is no inflow to the basin. The moving weir DECANTER is motor driven and travels slowly from its park position to a designated bottom water level. Once the Decanting phase sets in, the decanter automatically lowers to the required bottom level. Variable frequency drives are provided to control the rate of movement of the Decanters. After the required level of supernatant is removed the Decanter is returned to its park position

through reversal of the drive. The basin is now ready for the next cycle to begin.

Operational Simplicity - Fully PLC based intelligent control The complete plant operation is controlled automatically thro a PLC system, which is a major factor in reducing operating costs. This also prevents mal operation of the various set process parameters within the plant. All key functions like, RAS, sludge wasting, aeration intensity, cycle time control, decanting rate etc are automatically controlled as well as data logged. Complete historical records of plant operation are available on touch of a button. Using suitable modem, these plants can be monitored and controlled thro Internet from anywhere in the world. 7.4.6.

If for any reason such as delay, wrong design or estimation, omission of items, inflation etc., there is cost overrun in any project, the central share in the total cost will be limited to the ceiling amount approved by the CCEA. Balance, if any, is to be borne by the respective state Government. It is, therefore, necessary to prepare the DPR accurately after investigation and survey and taking all factors into account that can influence the cost of the project. The State Governments should make all efforts to obtain larger plan allocations for such programmes. The contribution of 10 % from the beneficiaries and stakeholders can be raised in one or more of the following forms. additional development charges, water and sewage cess fair assessment, levy and recovery of property tax house connection charges contribution from Development Funds of local MPs and MLAs Fines on polluters Taxes from pilgrim/tourist/floating population visiting the town Donation from industry, business associations, voluntary agencies such as Rotary and Lions clubs and philanthropists.

Operation & Maintenance

11.1.

INTRODUCTION

The lack of proper maintenance has resulted in deteriorated sewers with subsequent backups, overflows, cave-ins, hydraulic overloads at treatment plants, and other safety, health, and environmental problems in several cities across the world. As one of the most serious and environmentally threatening problems, sanitary sewer overflowsor SSOsare a frequent cause of water quality degradations and are a threat to public health as well as the environment. Flooded surroundings and overloaded treatment plants are some symptoms of collection systems with inadequate design capacity and improper management, operation, and maintenance. The poor performance of many sanitary sewer systems and resulting potential health and environmental risks experienced frequently in developing countries highlight the need to optimize operation and maintenance of these systems. Commonly accepted types of maintenance include three classifications: corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance, and predictive maintenance. Thus in case like this project town of Begusarai, where entirely new system are to be put in place, predictive maintenance assumes the greatest importance. Schedules for regular preventive maintenance also needs to be developed.
117

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

It is of note that comprehensive specifications & construction practices go a long way in ensuring an easy & trouble free operation & maintenance for example, ise of SFRC in manholes and sewers where appropriate, laying of adequately designed sewers at recommended grades and selection of robust plant & equipment such as pumps, blowers, aerators etc. 11.1.1. CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

Maintenance classified as corrective, including emergency maintenance, is reactive. Only when the equipment or system fails is maintenance performed. Reliance on reactive maintenance will always result in poor system performance, especially as the system ages. 11.1.2. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Maintenance classified as preventive is proactive and is defined by a programmed, systematic approach to maintenance activities. This type of maintenance always results in improved system performance except in the case where major chronic problems are the result of design and/or construction flaws that cannot be completely corrected by O&M activities. Proactive maintenance is performed on a periodic (preventive) basis or as needed (predictive) basis. Preventive maintenance can be scheduled on the basis of specific criteria such as known problem areas (for examplea siphon that often gets clogged, a low point that is often first to overflow in a storm event, or even an area prone to blockages), equipment operating time since the last maintenance was performed, or passage of a certain amount of time (calendar period). 11.1.3. PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

The third type of maintenance is predictive. Predictive maintenance, which is also proactive, is a method of establishing baseline performance data, monitoring performance criteria over a period of time, and observing changes in performance so that failure can be predicted and maintenance can be performed on a planned, scheduled basis. It is often said that predictive maintenance begins at the conceptual stage and is half done by the time detailed designs are finalized. Such conceptual and design interventions aim at framing rigorous specifications for each and every component so that it functions with the desired efficiency at-least till the end of design life. Some pointers to predictive maintenance for sewerage system are:

118

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

Use of proper design years and flows based on scientific town planning principles & regulations. Building necessary redundancies, back-ups into the system including use of appropriate factor of safety, especially in regard to mechanical equipment. Creating/planning bye-pass/overflows arrangements at Sewage Treatment Plant and for various units of STP Specifying adequate spares and maintaining proper inventory of chemicals/fuel and other perishables considering delivery time, shelf life and criticality of the spares/chemicals etc for units/STP. Adopting detailed design of units so that O&M is simplified and facilitated (eg elevated disposal conveyers, chutes capable of discharging to containers/trolleys etc. for grits, screenings etc) Specifying chemical resistant paint for metal parts/components/ structures subject to corrosion Specifying adequate instrumentation to inform on health of the system, units, equipment. System performance is frequently a reliable indicator of how the system is operated and maintained. Agencies that historically rely primarily on corrective maintenance as their method of operating and maintaining the system are seldom able to focus on preventive and predictive maintenance since most of their resources are consumed by corrective maintenance. 11.1.4. FLUSHING PLAN

As there are in all 1210 links in the sewerage network and out of which approximately 157 pipes in the initial stretches of network are having velocities less than 0.3 m/s for peak flow in first year of operation. These pipes will require regular flushing as a preventive measure, as these shall have a higher probability of tendency to choke. A provision of one jetting machines and two tractor with trolley have been taken in the estimates for both corrective and preventive maintenance. It is proposed to employ one tractor with trolley for corrective maintenance for attending complaints as & when received and balance one jetting machines & one tractor with trolley shall be employed for flushing all these identified sewers with higher tendency to choke.

119

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

The whole of the town may be divided in two zones with a view that each jetting machines/tractor with trolley is equally work allotted. Assuming six working days in a week and one day assigned for workload of corrective maintenance and repairs, it is assumed that each jetting machine/tractor with trolley shall effectively take up work of flushing for five days in a week. Assuming a one week cycle and five working days in a week, each flushing unit will flush 16 pipes each working day. So, a one week program will be chalked out for each flushing unit to flush these sewers at least ones in a three week time. 11.2. BENEFITS

The benefits of an effective operation and maintenance program are as follows: Ensuring the availability of facilities and equipment as intended. Maintaining the reliability of the equipment and facilities as designed. Utility systems are required to operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and 365 days per year. Reliability is a critical component of the operation and maintenance program. If equipment and facilities are not reliable, then the ability of the system to perform as designed is impaired. Maintaining the value of the investment. Wastewater systems represent major capital investments for communities and are major capital assets of the community. If maintenance of the system is not managed, equipment and facilities will deteriorate through normal use and age. Maintaining the value of the capital asset is one of the major responsibilities. Accomplishing this goal requires ongoing investment to maintain existing facilities and equipment and extend the life of the system, and establishing a comprehensive O&M program. Ensuring full functionality of the system throughout its useful life. Collecting accurate information and data on which to base the operation and maintenance of the system and justify requests for the financial resources necessary to support it. Planned maintenance and repairs are much more cost effective both in the long and short term because the work can be done with the proper materials during normal working hours and under

120

Detailed Project Report

preferred working conditions. Besides this, they have potential for significant savings in fuel & power by maintaining requisite efficiencies. 11.3. TECHNICAL & MANAGERIAL CAPACITY

Certainly, the operation & maintenance responsibilities are to be shouldered by one or a combination of stakeholders especially the user group or nodal agency. Municipal Council is expected to be responsible for operation & maintenance of the proposed sewerage system or at-least overseeing the O&M if some PPP model is adopted for O&M of the proposed system. . As the town does not have sewerage facilities till now, Municipal council does not possess the tools & plant, equipment and manpower required for operation & maintenance of sewerage system. Municipal council is having regular Engineering staff primarily responsible for civil works e.g. buildings, roads, street drains etc. but the capacities & human resources required for efficiently carrying out the O&M are lacking to a large extent. 11.4. OUTSOURCING :

Looking to constrained capacities of Municipal Council in regard to financial, human & equipment resources, it may not be prudent for Municipal Council to shoulder this additional responsibility atleast in the near future. The recommended approach is to Club the operation & maintenance for certain period with the capital works. This will enable the municipal council to get fully acquainted with the sewerage system for taking up the work in future, if required. In future the operations could be outsourced to private sector. Alternatively, if the Municipal Council decides, intensive training in O&M of the system can be imparted to identified personnel. However, such experiments in other cities have been less successful over a period of time. SEWERAGE O&M MANAGEMENT PLAN

11.5.

A comprehensive Sewerage System Management plan is required to be put in place for safe & reliable performance of the proposed system & to

121

Sewerage Project, Begusarai (Bihar)

NGRBA

Detailed Project Report

enable the sewerage system to deliver its intended objectives. The major components of such management plan are as follows: Provide adequate operation and maintenance of facilities and equipment. Maintain an up-to-date map of the collection system showing all gravity line segments and manholes, pumping facilities, pressure pipes and valves. This could be preferably GIS based. Maintain relevant information to establish and prioritize appropriate Wastewater Collection System Management Plan activities (such as the immediate elimination of dry weather overflows or overflows into sensitive waters, such as public drinking water supplies and their source waters), and identify and correct/rectify after assessing the causes & selecting appropriate corrective action. Routine preventive operation and maintenance activities by staff and contractors, including a system for scheduling regular maintenance and cleaning of the collection system with more frequent cleaning and maintenance targeted at known problem areas as well as a tracking system for work orders. Special mention need to be made for flushing of starting sewers in developing areas. A regular schedule of flushing needs to be developed & enforced for say first 5 years after commissioning. Identify and prioritize structural deficiencies and implement shortterm and long-term rehabilitation actions to address each deficiency. This shall include a rehabilitation plan including schedules for the entire system. As with the preventative maintenance program, sewer rehabilitation and replacement is crucial for the prevention of spills. Provide supervision training on a regular basis for staff in collection system operations, maintenance, and monitoring, and determine if contractors staffs are equipped with adequate skill sets. Provide equipment and replacement parts inventories, including identification of critical replacement parts. Establish an implementation plan and schedule for a comprehensive IEC aimed at educating public that promotes proper disposal of wastewater and inculcate civic sense.

Describe financial resources necessary to ensure system operation, including fee structure, actual and projected five-year budget expenses for staffing, operation, system extension projects, and reserves. Describe staffing available to ensure effective supervision/overseeing system operation (identifying individuals and titles) including developing, implementing, and revising the Wastewater Collection System Management Plan. Include an organizational chart, duties, and training frequency. There shall be an Overflow Emergency Response Plan that identifies measures to protect public health and the environment. At a minimum, this plan should provide for the following actions. Ensure proper notification procedures so that the primary responders are informed of all overflows in a timely manner (to the greatest extent possible). Ensure that all overflows are appropriately responded to, including ensuring that reports of overflows are immediately dispatched to appropriate personnel for investigation and appropriate response. Ensure immediate notification of health agencies and other impacted entities (e.g., agencies responsible for water suppliers etc) of all overflows. Ensure that appropriate staff and contractor personnel are aware of the plan, follow the plan, and are appropriately trained. Provide emergency operations, such as traffic and crowd control, and other necessary emergency response as necessary in case of corrective maintenance. Take all reasonable steps to contain untreated sewage, prevent sewage discharges to surface waters, and minimize or correct any adverse impact on the environment resulting from the overflows, including additional monitoring as may be necessary to determine the nature and impact of the discharge. Develop and implement a plan to respond in a timely manner to spills and other emergencies. Collection system staff should be able to respond to a sewage spill in less than an hour from the first call. The Authorities must own or have ready access to spill and emergency response equipment such as vacuum trucks,

hydroflushers, pumps, temporary bypass hoses, and portable generators of adequate number and capacity to operate pump stations. 11.6. O&M COSTS

Looking to the financial resources available with municipal Council, It is not sustainable for the project to have municipal Council to bear the operation & maintenance of the proposed system. 11.6.1. PROVISION FOR SEWERAGE CHARGES IN BIHAR MUNICIPAL ACT, 2007

Section 216 of Bihar Municipal Act,2007 stipulates the sewer charges to be collected from property owner connected to public sewers and is reproduced below: 216. Sewerage charge and sewerage cess.- (1) The Municipality shall levy sewerage charge on the owners of premises for connection of such premises to sewerage mains, such amount being not less than one-half of the amount chargeable for water-supply under sub-section (2) of section 171 or subsection (2) of section 172, as the case may be, as may be determined by regulations from time to time. The provision for water charge in the Bihar Municipal Act,2007 is as follows: 171. Supply of water to connected premises.- (1) The Chief Municipal Officer may, on an application by the owner, lessee or occupier of any building, either on his own or through any other agency, arrange for supply of water from the nearest main to such building for domestic purposes in such quantity as may be deemed to be reasonable and may, at any time, limit the quantity of water to be supplied whenever considered necessary: Provided that the Chief Municipal Officer may, by order in writing, delegate the responsibility of receiving the application to any other agency. (2) For the water supplied under sub-section (1), payment shall be made at such rate as may be fixed by the Municipality from time to time: Provided that such rate shall, as far as practicable, cover the costs on account of management, operation, maintenance, depreciation, debt servicing, and other charges related to waterworks and distribution costs, including distribution-losses, if any. Section 172 of Bihar Municipal Act, 2007 contains similar provision for water supply for Non Domestic purposes.

Detailed Project Report

At present, a holding tax of 9% of total rental value of property is being levied from property owners in municipal area. Out of this holding tax, water charges in lieu of supply of drinking water constitute 2%. 11.6.2. MODALITIES FOR SELF SUSTAINING SYSTEM

Some arrangement of sharing of cost between Municipal Council and user in initial phases and gradually shifting the full O&M cost to the user is the preferred choice. The sewerage charges from the consumers could be collected by one of the following methods: Sewerage charges may be charged as a %age of water charges and will be collected with water bill. This method is adopted in other towns also. Sewerage charges may be charged on basis of Plot size & locality and could be collected with land & property taxes. 11.6.3. SUSTAINABILITY

For successful implementation and operation of project, it is imperative that project should be financially and economically sustainable. The benefits accrued from the project should be able to offset the capital and O&M expenses incurred on the project and possible will also provide finances for creating new assets required for future. Sewerage projects are capital intensive. The prevailing mindset among community is that the state is responsible for providing the basic civic amenities and shall bear the costs involved in implementation & operation of such projects. Presently there is increasing stress that a gradual shift is being made to made the beneficiaries bearing the financial burden for development projects. As a first move, it is expected the beneficiaries shall bear the cost to the extent that O&M costs are recovered with gradual realization of capital costs from the beneficiaries. It has sometimes been suggested that financial viability not be made a concern because as long as a project is economically sound, it can be supported through government subsidies. However, in most cases, governments face severe budgetary constraints and consequently, the affected project entity may run into severe liquidity problems, thereby jeopardizing even its economic viability.

COMMUNICATION STRATEGY

Information sharing & Communication Planning is an integral part of planning for sustained development. The development of human society has largely been due to its ability to communicate information and ideas with each other and to use such information and ideas for progress. This project being implemented by the Municipality aims at sustainable holistic development in Sanitation Sector. The success of this project is heavily dependent on the participation of the people, in the implementation process. To enable people to participate in the development process, it is necessary that people have adequate knowledge about the nature and content of these projects. Information Education and Communication, therefore, assumes added significance in the context of the this project. The feedback received on the implementation of such projects in the field indicate that these projects are critically dependent on the awareness level about them, transparency in the implementation process at the field level, participation of the people in the development process and accountability of different groups of stakeholders with different stakes e.g. Municipality, beneficiaries, contractors etc. In this context it is proposed to adopt a 4- pronged strategy of creating Awareness about the project, ensuring Transparency in the

implementation, encouraging Peoples Participation in the development process and promoting the concept of Social Audit for ensuring Accountability. All the four elements of the above strategy are complementary to each other and appropriate IEC activities are an essential part of actualizing this strategy. Information, Education and Communication plays a pivotal role in creating awareness, mobilizing people and making development participatory through advocacy and by transferring knowledge, skills and techniques to the people. It is also critical for bringing about transparency in implementation of the project at the field level and for promoting the concept of accountability and social audit. It is proposed to formulate appropriate IEC strategy in tune with the communication needs of the this project. The IEC activities are to be undertaken through the available & effective modes of communication in order to inform the people with messages and details on Sewerage Project. Dissemination of information has to be sustained over a period of time and also that in order to make communication effective, it has to be in the language and idiom of the target groups. Accordingly, efforts are required to be made through Electronic Media and Print Media to disseminate information in regional languages and dialects, besides Hindi and English. In addition, the Action Plan also envisages IEC activities through other modes of communication, outdoor publicity and other conventional and non-conventional modes of communication for reaching out to the people in project areas. 12.2. PRINT MEDIA

The power of the press arises from its ability of appealing to the minds of the people and being capable of moving their hearts. Despite the fast growth of the electronic media, the printed word continues to play a crucial role in disseminating information and mobilizing people. It is required to ensure that the Project is portrayed in proper perspective, several steps need to be taken to sensitize the media about health & sanitation issues. During the implementation period, it is proposed to organize press conferences, press tours and workshops, so as to sensitize press persons about these issues. It is also proposed to issue advertisements at regular intervals in State and Regional Press. It is also proposed to publish booklets, leaflets providing information about the project & need for proper health & sanitation simple language in Hindi and Regional

languages. The other possible means for publicity could be printing & distribution of wall calendars, desk calendars. 12.3. ELECTRONIC MEDIA

An intensive IEC campaign over the Electronic Media (Radio and TV) is also required for optimum dissemination of information on these issues. In order to meet the area and region specific communication needs of this project, audio and video programmes of suitable time period shall be produced and broadcast/telecast over local and primary stations of All India Radio and Regional Kendras of Doordarshan. In addition short duration spots on different themes relating to health & sanitation shall need to produced in different languages and broadcast over AIR and Doordarshan. Synergies between different media can be exploited to great advantage. For meeting expenditure on IEC activities, a suitable provision in cost estimates has been taken. 12.4. CAPACITY BUILDING

Capacity building often refers to assistance which is provided to entities, usually lacking in resources to achieve required objectives, which have a need to develop a certain skill or competence, or for general upgrading of performance ability. UNDP defined 'capacity building' as the creation of an enabling environment with appropriate policy and legal frameworks, institutional development, including community participation (of women in particular), human resources development and strengthening of managerial systems, adding that, UNDP recognizes that capacity building is a long-term, continuing process, in which all stakeholders participate (ministries, local authorities, non-governmental organizations and user groups, professional associations, academics and others). Capacity Building is much more than training and includes the following: Human resource development, the process of equipping individuals with the understanding, skills and access to information, knowledge and training that enables them to perform effectively. Organizational development, the elaboration of management structures, processes and procedures, not only within organizations

but also the management of relationships between the different organizations and sectors (public, private and community). Institutional and legal framework development, making legal and regulatory changes to enable organizations, institutions and agencies at all levels and in all sectors to enhance their capacities The capacity building measures proposed under this project are summarized below: Human Resource Development Human resources development is very essential for internal capacity building for any organization. Training, motivation, incentives for outstanding service and disincentives for those who fail to perform are essential for human resources development. This includes: Training Management of sewerage system is a new responsibility with Municipal Council. Integrated & comprehensive systems have to be developed to operate & maintain the sewerage system effectively. Knowledge of new technology and methods coupled with training at all levels is necessary. Short and medium term courses should, therefore, be designed for the sanitation workers and supervisory staff. Special training and refresher courses may also be conducted as under: Special Training To Unqualified Staff Refresher Courses For All Levels of Staff o Roles & Responsibilities o Jurisdiction o Training on use of new equipment o Safe way to work Exposure to Municipal Commissioner/ Chief Executives Exposure to Elected Members

In this connection, CPHEEO sponsored training programmes in different institutions can impart much needed knowledge. Data acquisition & retrieval

It is proposed to equip the Municipal Council with tools that will ease the collection, analysis and retrieval of all system data in timely & economical manner. The tools proposed to be provided under this project are: Computers Printers Plotter Operating System Software Office Software CAD Software Geographical Information System (GIS) : (may be implemented to begin with and should be hosted centrally for use of different agencies, proper authorization levels for access & modifications to database need to be decided at al services. A toll free and automated response phone number goes a long way in facilitating transmittal of advance warnings on system health, emergencies, failures (e.g. pipe bursts or overflows) which may be useful in reducing response time.

Involvement of Voluntary organization/ NGO/ Private Sector Participation Management of Sewerage system services is highly labour intensive on account of increased wage structure of the Government and municipal employees this service is becoming more and more expensive. Besides, the efficiency of the labour force employed in the urban local bodies is far from satisfactory. High wage structure and inefficiency of the work force results into steep rise in the cost of service and yet the people at large are not satisfied with the level of service being provided by the urban local bodies. Efforts to increase the efficiency by Human Resource Development and institutional strengthening will, to some extent improve the performance but that may not be enough. It is proposed to involve Voluntary Organisations/NGO/Private sector participation in Sewerage System management. Private sector participation or public private partnerships are proposed to be considered for this project by clubbing O&M of system for five years with civil contract.
