The care towards the plantation is taken during the design stageitself to mitigate the pollution & enhance the aesthetic and scenic beauty of the proposedwater supply scheme.2. ObjectivesThe main objectives of tree plantation are as follows:Reducing the impacts of air pollutionNatural noise barrierArrest of land erosionProviding much needed shade during the daytimeEnhancement of an aesthetic view of the sub-project areas.Climatic amelioration3. Species SelectionGrasses, shrubs and trees are the main species that are readily available in India. Wherepossible, the use of non-native species should be avoided since they can out compete anddisplace native plants leading to loss of native biodiversity. To maximize the chances ofsuccess, one should try to select species whose growing conditions roughly match theenvironmental conditions of the project site. Care should also be taken to select species withroot systems that match the nature of the soil movement at the project site. During theselection of species preference should be given towards rapid growing and pest anddisease resistant species. Flowering, ornamentals plants and climbers can also be plantedin the project to provide beauty.4.

All plastic andother imperishable containers should be removed before planting. Any broken or damageroots should be cutback to sound growth. The bottom of the planting pit should be coveredwith 50mm to 75mm of soil. Bare roots should be spread evenly in the planting pit; and smallmound in the center of the pits on which the roots are placed will aid on even spread. Soilshould be placed around the roots, gently shaking the tree to allow the soil particles to shiftinto the root system to ensure close contact with all roots and prevent air pockets. Backfillsoil should be firmed as filling proceeds, layer by layer, care being taken to avoid damagingthe roots.The manure and feriliser utilisation in plantation are :Compost – 20 Kg, Super Phosphate –1Kg, Neem Cake – 2Kg, and Pesticides (Lindane or Endosulfan Dust) – 100 g.

About 69.30% are literate. The total SC and ST population are 15098 and 5447respectively. Total number of households is 39,353.MeteorologyThe weather of the town is generally hot and partially humid which is common in any tropical area.The summer usually extends from March to June, The rainy season is from July to October andwinter season is from November to February. The temperature of the town varies from 20 0 C to 50 0 C.The average annual rainfall in the town area is around 500 mm. Ananthapur region was identified as2 nd lowest rainfall area after Jaisalmir in Rajasthan. Ananthapur region is surrounded by mountainsand hence NE and SW monsoons cannot provide proper rainfall. Thus, it is a chronically draughtprone area in Andhra Pradesh State.TopographyThe town is almost centrally located in the district. The Tungabhadra Dam High Level Canal (HLC) ispassing through the town. The soil is mainly gravelly type under led by rock strata. The ground levelvaries from 335 to 355 m above MSL.Sewerage SystemAnanthapur town has no underground sewerage facility. Each individual household has septic tankand the effluent is either taken to a soak pit or discharged into the surface drain. The slum dwellersgenerally use Two-Pit Pour Flush Latrines. However, stray cases of open defecation in slum areasare there. The Consultant feels the program of providing latrine to each household should be giventop most priority and the Municipality may take appropriate steps in promoting latrine program throughIEC activities and introduction of incentivesDrainage SystemThe Drainage of the town is implemented by surface drains which ultimately discharge to nearby lowlying areas. The main drain passes through the middle of the town. According to the information givenby the Municipality there are about 191.55 km long Pucca Surface Drain and 92.72 km long KutchaSurface Drain. In addition, there is a storm water drain of 1.75 km. Cleaning of storm water drains isensured by engaging contract labours.227 Section VII. Works Requirements

Solid Waste ManagementAccording to an estimate done by the Municipality on an average about 105 MT of solid waste isgenerated in the town in each day which is disposed off by the municipality by simple dumping to fillup low lying areas. The garbage from the streets and the market places are collected with the help of37 cycle vans and transported to vats located at different places. From the vats, the garbage iscollected with the help of 9 tractor trailers and transported to the low lying dumping ground locatedoutside the municipal limit.The door-to-door collection of garbage is done in 25% area of the Municipal Corporation with the helpof cycle vans. Eighty percent (80%) of garbage disposal works are done with the help of contractlabours.Existing Water Supply SystemThe water supply to the town was first introduced in 1924 with infiltration well in the bed of the riverPandameru near the Engineering College. There are three wells each of about 3 m (10 feet)diameter. The water from the infiltration wells is pumped into a collection well from where it is againpumped to the GLSR of capacity 260 KL located at Kalaramam near the Engineering College fordistribution through a network of pipe line. The designed yield of the well was 0.45 MLD.As the town grew, the demand of water increased and water supply was augmented by constructinganother infiltration gallery in the river Tadakleru. The water is collected in a 3 m (10 feet) dia.collection well and then pumped to the 450 KL capacity ELSR located at Georgepeta. Subsequentlyanother source of water was developed at Rachakalva.In course of time all the three sources viz, Pandameru, Tadakleru and Rachakalva became unreliableand in 1981 a water supply scheme with the surface water of HLC canal was constructed. In the year,1999 the Satya Sai Water Supply scheme was taken up with the financial assistance of BhagabanSatya Sai Baba Trust based on MPR South Canal as the sourceThere are five independent sources of water at Ananthapur viz.• Infiltration Well in the river Pandameru• Infiltration Well in the river Tadakleru• Infiltration Well and ground tube well at Rachakalva• RG filter works• Satya Sai Slow Sand Filter WorksIn addition to the above sources there are large number of hand bored tube wells and powered borewells.

The scheme is underimplementation by the PHED. Construction of the intake, treatment plant and transmission mainsconnecting the WTP and ELSRs are almost complete. The construction of 15 ELSRs up to staginglevel is also complete. The scheme has been partially commissioned and the water is being fed tofour existing reservoirs Viz. Georgepeta, Srinagar Colony, O/o SE (PH), Ananthapur and LaxmiNagar to overcome the acute shortage of water supply in the town particularly during the summerseason.The raw water from the intake is taken to the treatment plant located at the highest point at adistance of about 9 km in between Jalli Palli and Muddalapuram. The WTP is of 61 MLD capacity. Inaddition there is a provision of chlorination of the treated water. The water from the Intake to theWTP is transmitted by a 1000 mm dia 18 Kg/cm 2 BWSC pumping main. From WTP the water flowsby gravity to the different distribution reservoirs. The water from the WTP is first taken to the BreakPressre Tank No 1 of capacity 300 KL located at Muddalapuram through a 1100 mm dia. 12 Kg/cm 2BWSC gravity main. Total length of this main is about 5 km. Thereafter the water flows to the BreakPressure Tank No 2 located at Kuderu near the Mondal Revenue Office (MRO) through a 700 mmdia. 10 Kg/cm 2 BWSC gravity main. From Kuderu the water will flow by gravity through a 1100 mmdia. 12 Kg/cm 2 BWSC main upto APIIC Road junction outside the Municipal Corporation boundary.From APIIC road junction water will flow by gravity to all the existing as well as proposed reservoirsfor supply to the consumers.229 Section VII.

No adjustment is to be applied towork valued on the basis of Cost or current prices. The formulaeshall be of the following general type:Pn = a + b Ln/ Lo + c En/Eo + d Mn/Mo + ...... where:“Pn” is the adjustment multiplier to be applied to the estimatedcontract value in the relevant currency of the work carried out inperiod “n”, this period being a month unless otherwise stated inthe Contract Data ;“a” is a fixed coefficient, stated in the relevant table ofadjustment data, representing the non-adjustable portion incontractual payments;“b”, “c”, “d”, … are coefficients representing the estimatedproportion of each cost element related to the execution of theWorks, as stated in the relevant table of adjustment data; suchtabulated cost elements may be indicative of resources such aslabour, equipment and materials;“Ln”, “En”, “Mn”, … are the current cost indices or referenceprices for period “n”, expressed in the relevant currency ofpayment, each of which is applicable to the relevant tabulatedcost element on the date 49 days prior to the last day of theperiod (to which the particular Payment Certificate relates); and“Lo”, “Eo”, “Mo”, … are the base cost indices or referenceprices, expressed in the relevant currency of payment, each ofwhich is applicable to the relevant tabulated cost element on theBase Date.The cost indices or reference prices stated in the table ofadjustment data shall be used. If their source is in doubt, it shallbe determined by the Engineer. For this purpose, reference shallbe made to the values of the indices at stated dates (quoted in301 Copyright FIDIC Section VIII. General Conditions

the fourth and fifth columns respectively of the table) for thepurposes of clarification of the source; although these dates (andthus these values) may not correspond to the base cost indices.In cases where the “currency of index” is not the relevantcurrency of payment, each index shall be converted into therelevant currency of payment at the selling rate, established bythe central bank of the Country, of this relevant currency on theabove date for which the index is required to be applicable.Until such time as each current cost index is available, theEngineer shall determine a provisional index for the issue ofInterim Payment Certificates. When a current cost index isavailable, the adjustment shall be recalculated accordingly.If the Contractor fails to complete the Works within the Timefor Completion, adjustment of prices thereafter shall be madeusing either (i) each index or price applicable on the date 49days prior to the expiry of the Time for Completion of theWorks, or (ii) the current index or price, whichever is morefavourable to the Employer.The weightings (coefficients) for each of the factors of coststated in the table(s) of adjustment data shall only be adjusted ifthey have been rendered unreasonable, unbalanced orinapplicable, as a result of Variations.14.
