NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental ExaminationI. INTRODUCTIONA. Overview1. The North Karnataka Urban Sector Investment Program (NKUSIP) proposes toimprove the environmental quality of the urban areas through better urbaninfrastructure facilities and thus improve living conditions of the urban people.In the wake of poor infrastructure facilities and services such as water supply,sewerage and sanitation and solid waste management, the risk of infectiousdiseases through exposure to unhealthy environment runs high, particularly inthe case of urban poor. Hence, the proposed Investment Program aims atminimizing or mitigating the risk and ensures the well-being of people.2. Though the Investment Program aims to improve the environmental conditionof urban areas, the proposed improvements of infrastructure facilities mayexert certain adverse impacts on the natural environment. While developingurban infrastructure facilities, impacts during the construction stage areexpected to be more severe than impacts during the operation phase, thoughfor a short duration. Exceptions being some facilities such as sewage treatmentplant, which may also exert adverse impacts during the operation phase also, ifdue care is not taken. Again, most of the impacts are activity-specific.However, if due care is taken during the construction phase, investmentProgram negative impacts will be far outweighed by positive impactsB. Environmental Regulatory Compliance3. The components of NKUSIP include environmental sanitation infrastructure,water supply infrastructure, urban roads improvement, slum infrastructure,and non-municipal infrastructure projects. Sub-components proposed for<strong>Haveri</strong> Town, which fall under the ambit of environmental regulations andmandatory requirement, are <strong>ind</strong>icated in Table 1.KUIDFC1WSAPL

The above table <strong>ind</strong>icates that as far as GoI and GoK Acts/Guidelines areconcerned, the proposed Investment Programs do not need to go throughenvironmental assessment process; however, as specified, few sub-projectcomponents may require consent from Competent Authorities. The ADBguidelines, on the other hand, stipulate addressing environmental concerns, ifany, of a proposed activity in the initial stages of Investment Programpreparation. For this, the ADB Guidelines categorizes the proposedcomponents into various categories (A, B or C) to determine the level ofenvironmental assessment required to address the potential impacts. Level ofenvironmental assessment required for each category of Investment Program,as per ADB’s Environmental Assessment Guidelines 2003 is presented below.i) Category A: Sub-project components with potential for significant adverseenvironmental impacts. An environmental impact assessment (EIA) isrequired to address significant impacts.ii) Category B: Sub-project components judged to have some adverseenvironmental impacts, but of lesser degree and/or significance thanthose for Category A Investment Programs. An initial environmentalexamination (IEE) is required to determine whether significantenvironmental impacts warranting an EIA are likely. If an EIA is notneeded, the IEE is regarded as the final environmental assessment report.iii) Category C: Sub-components unlikely to have adverse environmentalimpacts. No EIA or IEE is required, although environmental implicationsare still reviewed.KUIDFC2WSAPL
NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental ExaminationC. Purpose of Initial Environmental Examination5. The NKUSIP Package I – Dharwad covers six sub-project towns. To fulfill theADB’s environmental assessment requirement for sector loans, theenvironmental assessment of sub-projects were carried out. Owing to the scaleand nature of the proposed infrastructure components and environmentalprofile of the NKUSIP sub-project towns, prima facie almost all InvestmentProgram components are unlikely to have adverse environmental impacts.6. Therefore, as per the ADB’s Environmental Assessment Guidelines, the subprojectcomponents proposed in <strong>Haveri</strong> under NKUSIP are categorized as ‘B’and an initial environmental examination (IEE) have been carried out.D. Scope of IEE7. The IEE was based mainly on secondary sources of information and fieldreconnaissance surveys; no field monitoring (environmental) survey wasconducted. Stakeholder consultation was an integral part of the IEE.E. Report Structure8. This Report contains eight (8) sections including this introductory section: (i)introduction; (ii) description of Investment Program components; (iii)description of the environment; (iv) screening of potential environmentalimpacts and mitigation measures; (v) environmental monitoring plan; (vi)public consultation and information disclosure; (vii) f<strong>ind</strong>ing andrecommendation; and (viii) conclusions.KUIDFC3WSAPL
NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental ExaminationII. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVESTMENT PROGRAMCOMPONENTSA. NKUSIP Investment Program Goal9. The North Karnataka Urban Sector Investment Program (NKUSIP) will financeinvestment for (i) Environmental Sanitation Infrastructure; (ii) Water supplyInfrastructure; (iii) Urban Roads Improvement; (iv) Poverty Alleviation; (v)Non-Municipal Infrastructure; (vi) Institutional Development; and (vii)Investment Program Assistance. The overall development goal of the NKUSIPis to facilitate economic growth in the towns of North Karnataka and bringabout urban development through equitable distribution of urban basicservices to the citizens that are environmentally sound and operationallysustainable. The development purpose is designed to assist Urban Local Bodies(ULBs) to “promote good urban management, and develop and expand urbaninfrastructure to increase economic opportunities and to reduce vulnerability toenvironmental degradation and urban poverty”.10. Thus the Investment Program goal is to facilitate economic growth in thetowns/cities of North Karnataka and bring about urban development thoughequitable distribution of urban basic services to the citizens that isenvironmentally sound and operationally sustainable. The following are theurban infrastructure components proposed under the NKUSIP.i) Water Supply;ii) Sewerage;iii) Urban Drainage;iv) Urban Roads;v) Poverty Alleviation; and,vi) Non-Municipal Infrastructure (including Fire Services, Lake Developmentand Tourism)11. <strong>Haveri</strong> city, located at the central part of Karnataka is one among the 25 cities ofthe state of Karnataka where urban sector investment program has beenproposed.

NKUSIP program for <strong>Haveri</strong> City Municipal Council is planned to beimplemented in a course of 6 years as two phases – Phase 1 and Phase 2targeting to meet the demand for the year 2<strong>04</strong>1. The investment has beenproposed in water supply, sewerage, urban drainage, poverty alleviation andnon municipal infrastructure including providing equipments for Fire Servicesfor <strong>Haveri</strong> Municipality.B. Need for Infrastructure Improvement in <strong>Haveri</strong>13. Population in the city is growing as the city develops as an importantdestination for educational and commercial needs. Providing basic amenities toensure high level of performance in environmental safe guard is quitenecessary to ensure a long term urban sustainability. A study conducted byDepartment of Forests, Ecology & Environment, Government of Karnataka,2003 has shown that the cities in the state of Karnataka has poor environmentalperformance due to lagging in ensuring basic infrastructure facilities to theurban population.1. Karnataka - Health Status14. In addition to the associated environmental pollution, importantly, due to lackof safe and adequate water supply and sanitation facilities, the risk of infectiousdiseases through exposure to unhealthy environment runs high, particularly inthe case of urban poor. The State of Environment Report (SOER), 2003,Karnataka, brings out the fact that the lack of safe water supply and sanitationfacilities is essentially leading to the health related consequences. The followingare the important observations of the report.i) “Loss of access to the safe drinking water and sanitation is a matter ofgreat concern. It is estimated that 75-80% of water pollution by volume iscaused by domestic sewage. The remaining is <strong>ind</strong>ustrial waste waterwhich could be more toxic. Due to improper drainage and lack of disposalfacilities, <strong>ind</strong>ustries and local bodies use large areas of land for disposal ofwastewater”ii) “Adverse health effects are associated with ingestion of contaminatedwater, lack of access to sanitation, contact with unsafe water and impropermanagement of water resources and agriculture. Infectious diarrheamakes the single largest contribution to the burden of disease associatedwith unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene. Besides the water bornediseases like cholera, jaundice, other gastrointestinal track infections areDepartment of Forests, Ecology & Environment, Government of Karnataka has prepared the SOER 2003.KUIDFC6WSAPL
NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental Examinationquite significant amongst the population”.iii) “These diseases occur in different parts of the state, mostly duringsummer when there is scarcity of drinking water and source water getscontaminated. The data maintained by Health and Family WelfareDepartment (2003) <strong>ind</strong>icates that number of attacks for gastroenteritis,viral hepatitis and typhoid are increasing. The yearly occurrence of waterborne diseases like cholera and gastroenteritis makes it very clear thatenvironmental impact of water on health is very profound andsignificant.”Table 2.

Hence it is evident that the lack of safe water supply and sanitation facilities isleading to health consequences in the State. Considering the immediateattention required in improving the environmental quality of the city with prioremphasis to public health the present program is proposed to initially invest onfollowing sectorsi) Water Supplyii) Sewerageiii) Urban Drainageiv) Non municipal infrastructure – Fire Fighting16. The following section details the status of water supply, sanitation and otherinfrastructure facilities in the <strong>Haveri</strong> town.KUIDFC7WSAPL
NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental ExaminationC. Existing Basic Infrastructure Facilities in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMC1. Sewerage System17. There is no underground sewerage system developed in <strong>Haveri</strong> town; the opendrainage system provided in the town caters for storm runoff as well as for thewastewater. The sullage from <strong>ind</strong>ividual houses is disposed off into opendrains or just let into streets; dry latrines and <strong>ind</strong>ividual septic tanks providethe disposal system for the human waste. There are in all 8580 private latrinesin the city municipal council. There are 13 public latrines in the city municipalcouncil. Number of seats provided on an average in each latrine is 8 (4 forladies and 4 for gents). Thus, total seats provided are about 1<strong>04</strong>. All the latrineshave septic tanks and effluent from the septic tanks flows into the roadsidedrains.18. The effluent of the septic tanks is flushed into the open drains or let into streetsto form pools in low laying areas. Further, at some times the sewage also joinsthe open drains. Chocking and silting of open drains leads to overflowing ofdrains and the wastewater generally flows on the streets forming wastewaterpools. This creates filthy conditions in the areas giving rise to mosquito menace.The mosquito menace is the biggest problem in <strong>Haveri</strong> threatening the healthstatus of the inhabitants. The leaching of leachate from the pit latrines maypotentially contaminate the groundwater sources. Hence, it is imperative toimprove the quality of life of the town. Providing a comprehensive seweragesystem would help achieving this goal.19. Due to non-availability of sewage treatment system, the wastewater throughopen drains joins the Dodda Halla (Heggere Kere overflow channel) which isacting as the primary drain for <strong>Haveri</strong> City, flowing in the southern part of thecity. As this stream flows through the agricultural fields, the farmers useuntreated wastewater for agriculture purpose, which may potentially lead tohealth and environmental pollution problems. However, at present out of thetotal generated sewage, only a fraction of it reaches the agricultural fields,because of non-availability of proper sewage collection system. Hence, it maynot have much significant impact on agricultural fields, but at the same timecreating unhealthy conditions in the town.2. Water Supply System20. The first organized water supply system for <strong>Haveri</strong> town was developed in1960 with Varada River, an ephemeral river, as source. The system is of 4.54MLD capacity and associated with a conventional water treatment plant locatedat 5.185 km at Karadigodda. Treated water is taken to a GLSR of capacity 1 MLKUIDFC8WSAPL
NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental Examinationlocated at Soolamatti and further distributed. This system is presently not inoperation. In 2003, another water supply scheme was developed with RiverTungabhadra, located at around 32 km from <strong>Haveri</strong>, as source. From the intakepoint water is pumped to a newly constructed WTP of capacity 9.09 MLDlocated in the Municipal boundary limit near to Old DC office and furtherdistributed through 6 service reservoirs. In addition to these surface sources,the CMC accommodates reportedly around 300 bore wells and open wellsutilized for water supply drawing around 1.3 MLD.21. Both sources are not from perennial rivers and hence the water supply duringthe normal season is adequate but during the summer lean season the totalwater supply reduces considerably. Again, due to the high water losses in thesystem, the supply at consumer end is considerably low. In normal seasons,supply is once every alternate day, for duration of about one hour, which insummers is curtailed to even once in a week.22. The water distribution network in <strong>Haveri</strong> covers more than 60 percent of thetotal population; of the total 10,060 households around 6,038 are connectedwith <strong>ind</strong>ividual water service connections and there are about 1,500 publicstand posts.23. The socio-economic survey conducted in the non-slum households <strong>ind</strong>icatehigh dependence on water service connections (WSC) with 74 percenthouseholds being served by WSC, of which 29 percent have alternate access toopen/bore wells. Twenty five percent of slum households in <strong>Haveri</strong> are servedby water service connections (WSC). The following table shows the access ofwater supply to the surveyed households.Table 3. Access to Basic Services – Water SupplySl.

Considering the existing and future water supply issues it may be concludedthat the system needs to be strengthened and expanded. The water losses,which are considerable at present (25 percent), need to be tackled; it is alsonecessary to develop an all weather reliable water source for the town.3. Urban Drainage System25. <strong>Haveri</strong> CMC is having tertiary storm drain network for around 87.5 km alongKUIDFC9WSAPL
NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental Examinationthe existing road which constitute open drain. Secondary and tertiary drainsare built on both sides of roads. About 32 percent of total road length is coveredby pucca drains and another 45 percent by kutcha drains. In the absence of aproper sewerage network, these drains receive sewage from the residential andcommercial areas in the city. Uncontrolled dumping of solid waste especiallyplastic carry bags along the sewer results in chocking of drains which results inoverflowing of sewage along the roads causing environmental and publichealth risks. Especially two low laying areas in the city – Chikkan kere andChouki Gunda experiences severe waste water logging causing health issuesand odour problems for the public. The sewage from higher level areas flowsdown to these low laying areas forming waste water cess pools. During rainyseason, both Chikken Kere and Chowki Gunda area become water logged.Further the stagnant water remains as an ideal breeding ground of mosquitoeswhich causes health consequences to the public around the area. Furtherstagnating waste water results in ground water pollution which furtheraggravates health consequences among the public.26. From the detailed survey it is observed that in the existing system, 98% (86 Km)of the storm water drains are of size less than 3.0 m width. Around 1.5 Kmlength of drains are of size equal or greater than 3.0 m width.Table 4.

Fire Fighting Infrastructure27. Karnataka State Fire and Emergency Services department, Government ofKarnataka has a fire station located in the <strong>Haveri</strong> CMC. The fire station has tobe upgraded by providing equipments and amenities such as quarters for fireservice personals.D. Proposed Improvements in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMC1. Sewerage System28. As there is no sewerage system in the town, under the present InvestmentProgram it is proposed to develop a comprehensive sewerage system includingKUIDFC10WSAPL
NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental Examinationcollection, conveyance, treatment and disposal system. It is proposed that thesewerage system will be put in place in two phases – starting from the denselydeveloped city limit and further covering the growing peripheral areas. Basedon the topographical features Municipal area is divided in to two sewerageDistricts - District 1, and District 2. Map 2 below shows the demarcation for theproposed sewerage districts for the municipal area of <strong>Haveri</strong>.KUIDFC11WSAPL

NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental Examination29. The design period is taken as 30 years starting from 2<strong>01</strong>1 to 2<strong>04</strong>1. Both theDistricts will be covered with a scientifically designed sewerage network bylaying trunk mains and primary collection systems. It is proposed to lay atrunk sewer over a length of 4.42 km starting from ward 2 and ending at thejoining point of trunk main from District 2. Sub mains and laterals from bothsides shall be connected to this main. The total length of sub mains and lateralscomes to 38.41 km. In District 2, it is proposed to lay trunk sewer for a length of4.75 km along with sub main and laterals totaling to 14.5 km There are 1813Manholes with provisions to give 10878 house connections. This network shallserve a population of 67645 (Ultimate 2<strong>04</strong>1) and 47113 (Present 2<strong>01</strong>1).Facultative Aerated Lagoon based STP will be constructed in modules with theimmediate demand will be met through a 4.71 MLD unit by 2<strong>01</strong>1 withsubsequent addition in future.30. The STP site is located within the municipal boundary along the outskirts of thecity. The site is surrounded by agricultural fields along north, south and eastwith Dodda Halla, a natural stream boundaries western side. STP site hasadded advantage of being in the lower elevation hence the sewage from the citycan be brought in through gravity. There is no residential belt in the immediatevicinity.Table 5. Proposed Sewerage System Sub-componentsNo. Sub-component(i) Laying of Trunk sewer for a length of 4.4 km along with main and sub mainlength totaling to a length of 38.41 km. This will cater to the need of district 1and laying of sewer line (Trunk sewer line – 4.75 km + Sub main and laterals– 14.5 km) in District 2 for the design life of 30 years. A preliminary moduleof FAL based STP of 4.7 MLD will also be established with additional unit of4.7 MLD subsequently which will be well enough to cater the need of thetown for 2<strong>04</strong>1.31. The capacity of the proposed Sewage Treatment Plant will be 9.4 MLD, cateringto the ultimate year need to treat sewage generated. There are number ofoptions to treat the wastewater to the standards of disposal to Inland surfacewater. The options like Attached Growth Aerobic or Anaerobic Systems orSuspended Growth Systems shall be adopted. The availability of Land forTreatment plant, the cost of treatment and its operation and maintenance arethe prime issues while selecting the suitable option. It is always advantageousto go for a treatment plant where much operational and maintenance aspectsare less, if the land is sufficiently available.32. Based on the above factors, Facultative Aerated Lagoon are proposed to treatKUIDFC13WSAPL
NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental Examinationthe Sewage to the standards of surface water disposal even though the treatedsewage is expected to be utilized for agricultural facilities. There will be 5 cellsin the Facultative Aerated Lagoon. About 90 percent reduction in the BOD andCOD values shall be expected in the facultative ponds attributing to the designrequirement.Table 6.

The proposed treatment plant consists of pre-treatment and treatment units.The Pre-treatment Units comprises of two flow splitters followed by two screenchambers and grit chambers. This will be followed by a wet well designed tohold 5 minutes of flow for the year 2<strong>04</strong>1. It is 6.35 m deep and 5m in diameter.There shall be 3 submersible pumps of 22.5 HP which can satisfactorily pumpsewage at the rate of 0.086 m 3 /s operating in the wet well.34. The treatment will be carried out in Facultative Aerated Lagoon. The unit willbe established with a capacity to handle 4.71 MLD of sewage with a flexibilityof operation between 3.5 to 5 MLD without any deterioration in treated waterquality. The lagoon will be partially under ground and partially above groundwith 4 baffles. The top width of the baffle has been kept 1.5 m for easymovement of maintenance crew through the length of the lagoon and lagoonouter bund width has been kept 2.95 m for vehicular access. The dimensionwill be 160.84 m * 90.65 m * 4.8 m. The depth will include 3.8 m water depth, 0.5m sludge depth with 0.5 m as free board. The sewage will have 5 daysdetention time and aeration will be done through 40 Nos.2.5 HP aerators, 8units per chamber. Concrete weirs are planned on the incoming and outgoingbays to facilitate inlet and outlet. The overflow from outlet weir shall becollected by a leading channel that discharges on to Dodda Halla.35. It is proposed to provide Buffer Zone with green plantations around the STP.There are provisions for access roads, DG room, lighting, etc. with the total areacompletely fenced and entry into the STP premises is restricted to theauthorized ones. Map 3 shows the layout of the proposed STP for <strong>Haveri</strong>.36. Sewage will be treated in STP upto the discharge limit in surface water and willbe discharged in to Dodda Halla, which will join River Varada at around 16.02KUIDFC14WSAPL

It has been observed that there is no watersupply schemes in the nearest vicinity of discharge point (Water Supply systemfor <strong>Haveri</strong> exist at 1.28 km upstream) hence the proposals does not pose anyenvironmental risk to river water quality. Presently as the stream is carryingraw sewage from the city which causes significant impacts on its ecology andits neighborhoods, it is expected that the proposed STP will rejuvenate theecological status of stream and will curtail environmental pollution due toirrigation with raw sewage along the agricultural fields.KUIDFC15WSAPL

The proposed water supply system rehabilitation in <strong>Haveri</strong> aims at providingsafe, adequate and reliable water supply to the inhabitants. The objectives ofsystem improvement are:i) Improving the longevity of the <strong>ind</strong>ividual components and the system;ii) Improving the operational performance of the components and thesystem; andiii) Reducing the loss of the water and increasing the utilizable output of thesystem.38. The <strong>Haveri</strong> Municipal area is divided in to four zones based on the distributionpattern. Zone 1 comprises areas such as Vidyanagar West, Shivaji Nagar,Viabhava Laxmi Nagar, Bharathi Nagar and Aswini Nagar and is catered bythe 1.0 ML ELSR at Aswini Nagar. Total length of network in this zone is12.119 km. Zone 2 comprises areas such as Indira Nagar, Manjunath Nagar,Netaji Nagar, Basaveswara Nagar, Vidyanagar East and Rajendra Nagar and iscatered by the twin tanks near Municipal High School (old ELSR 0.5 ML, NewELSR 1.0 ML). There is small 50000 litres capacity ELSR at Netaji Nagarfloating on the distribution system in this zone. Total length of network in thiszone is 24.19 km. Zone 3 comprises areas such as Vijay Nagar, Nagendra Matti,Udaya Nagar, Melina Pet Siddadevapura Kondwad Oni, Desai Oni, ShivlingNagar and Market area and is catered by the 1.0 ML old GLSR at Soolamatti.Total length of network in this zone is 26.88 km. Zone 4 is a small zonecomprises areas such as Desai Oni, Googi katti, JP Circle and Daneswar Nagarand is catered by the 0.5 ML ELSR near J.P Circle. Total length of network inthis zone is 3.03 km. The zones are depicted in Map 4.KUIDFC17WSAPL

NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental Examination39. From the analysis of the existing system it was observed that the immediaterequirement in this sector is developing a surface water storage which canstore water for the lean periods of 90 days. Further it was found that thedistribution mains and sub mains are not of the required sizes which requireaugmentation and the distribution network requires further extension insidethe city limit.40. In order to ensure the regular water supply during lean months, thealternative options studied werei) Construction of a barrage across Thugabhadra Near Guttalii) Identifying an impounding reservoir which can store water for summerrequirement41. Out of the above options, it was observed that construction of a barrageacross Thungabhadra is not feasible since the width of the river is too longand the plain topography at the intake will necessitate substantialinundation. Further this proposal will have impact on the existing interstate Krishna River water dispute and further the allocated fund is notsufficient to construct a new reservoir at this location. It was observed thatHeggere Kere - a lake of capacity 1400 ML located at 1.5 km away from theheart of the city located near to the new WTP can be converted to animpounding reservoir. It is proposed to pump the surplus water from riverVarada for 240 days in a year and utilize the stored water after treatmentthrough New WTP of the adequate capacity during lean months. Thisproposal was found to be the most feasible option which requires laying ofpipeline from river Varada to Heggere Kere and further from lake to newWTP along with necessary pumping arrangements.42. From the analysis of existing distribution network using Water GEMS V8XM Edition hydraulic modelling software it was observed that in zone 4 thedistributions system is having its capacity to meet the ultimate yeardemand. Zone 1, Zone 2 and Zone 3 have inadequately sized transmissionsystem and in order to improve the distribution system it was proposed todo rehabilitation in Zone 1, 2 and 3 to meet the requirements of year 2<strong>04</strong>1for 6.5 km and extending network to un covered areas by laying 12.54 km ofdistribution network within the city limit. Other proposals along withTranche 1 include feeding OSHR at Netaji Nagar with dedicated feeder of10”.43. Further to cater the future demand, in 2026, the town has to plan for anKUIDFC19WSAPL

Urban Drainage System44. Under this component, it is proposed to provide secondary drains for the lowlyingareas of Chicknan Kere and Chouki Gunda. These secondary drains willbe connected to Dodda Halla, which is acting as the primary drain of the citynear to the proposed STP site.

Benefits arising from improvement in the drainage system comprise (i)reduction in blocked drains and canals and overflowing of culverts, therebyreducing adverse health impacts on residents in low-lying areas; and (ii)improvement in health and environmental conditions due to non-incidence ofwater stagnation and mosquito breeding; (iii) reduction in pollution risk ofdownstream water bodies; and (iv) direct benefits to households from avoidedflood damage costs and work time lost.G. Investment Program Alternatives52. The environmental suitability of the proposed components are judged throughthe selected location and proposed process/technology during both theconstruction and operation phases. The interaction and the level of interferencewith the surrounding land use determine the environmental sustainability ofthe Investment Program components. However, the components proposedunder NKUSIP are basic urban infrastructure services, most of which arelocation fixed providing scope for alternatives only in terms of technology,which again are limited. However, facilities such as sewage treatment plantsoffer variety of technologies. The following Table 10 shows environmentalsuitability of the selected alternatives.Table 10. Investment Program AlternativesSub-Component Suitability of Selected AlternativeSewerage System The best alternative for the sewerage system is to design the systembased on gravity flow. The proposed gravity system will be simplein operation and require less man power and importantly does notrequire energy. The natural gravity is utilized to run the system.There are various options to treat the wastewater to the standardsof either river discharge or for land disposal after treatment.Options like Attached Growth Aerobic or Anaerobic Systems orSuspended Growth Systems may be adopted. The availability ofland for establishing a treatment plant, the cost of treatment and itsoperation and maintenance are prime issues considered forselecting suitable treatment options. Availability of land providesreason to adopt treatment technologies with minimal operation andmaintenance costs. Based on these considerations, FacultativeAerated Lagoons are proposed for <strong>Haveri</strong>. In <strong>Haveri</strong>, twoalternative sites were selected for establishing the STP based ontopographical considerations.KUIDFC24WSAPL
NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental ExaminationSub-ComponentSuitability of Selected AlternativeAlternative 1: This site is located near Yattinahalli Village 4 kmfrom the town. This site was found unsuitable considering that (i)the site is not easily accessible; (ii) the outfall sewer has to cross twostreams to reach the STP, which may potentially pollute streams;and (iii) requires land acquisition for approach road and for layingof trunk sewer.Storm WaterDrainageWater SupplyAlternative 2: This site is located at Shidhadevapura Village 2 kmfrom <strong>Haveri</strong>. This site was selected because (i) it is located ideally inthe vicinity of the town, away from habitation; and (ii) has properaccess and therefore ruling out any land acquisition for approachroads.It is proposed to provide secondary drains for the two low layingareas of the city Chiknan Kere and Chowki Gunda through agravity flow system.The best alternative for water supply is to design the system basedon gravity flow. However, due to topography and requiredpressure at the consumer end, the system is designed as partlygravity and partly pumping.As the existing system losses are on a higher side (25%), reducingthe losses and improving the efficiency of the system is identified asan important component under NKUSIP.KUIDFC25WSAPL

Environmental Profile of <strong>Haveri</strong>1. Physiography53. <strong>Haveri</strong> is situated in the central part of Karnataka. Geographically, the town islocated at 75 0 35’E longitude and 14 0 35’N latitude. The town is developing as animportant trade centre in the district. It has good educational facilities. Thetown extends to an area of 26.19 sq. km and houses more than 55,000population as per Census 20<strong>01</strong>.54. The town is situated on a flat terrain, with predominant slope from north tosoutheast. The ground levels vary from the maximum of 570 m in the north to555 m in the south. The predominant soils in this town are red and black cottonsoil. The major commercial crops grown on these soils are Jowar, Red Chillyand Maize.2. Seismology55. As per the seismic zoning map of India, the <strong>Haveri</strong> town falls under the ZoneII, which is the lowest earth quake risk zone in India. This zone is termed as“low damage risk zone”.3. Climatic Conditions56. The town is characterised with hot summer months and low rainfalls duringmonsoon. The temperature varies between 42 0 C during summer and 17 0 Cduring winter. Generally, April and May are the hottest months whileDecember to February is the coldest. The following Table 11 shows the meanmaximum and minimum temperature recorded in the region. As there was nometeorological observatory present at <strong>Haveri</strong>, the data presented here is of theobservatory located at Gadag, around 50 km north of <strong>Haveri</strong>. This data isconsidered as representative data as both the towns are located in the samephysiographical zone and also they are closely located.KUIDFC26WSAPL

The town experiences southwest monsoon from June to September and theperiod between the months of October and November can be termed as postmonsoon months. The town experiences scanty rainfall and the long termannual average rainfall is 696 mm. The rainfall is confined and about 60 percentof the annual rainfall is received during the months of June to September. Themaximum rainfall is registered during the month of August. The morningrelative humidity (RH) varies from 51 to 87 percent while evening RH variesfrom16 to 67 percent; and the RH is generally higher during the southwestmonsoon.58. The region is continuously experiencing below normal rainfall from the last fewyears. The actual rainfall recorded in the year 2002 was 490 mm as against thenormal rainfall of 696 mm marking a departure of -30 percent while in 20<strong>04</strong> theactual rainfall was 511 mm marking a departure from normal of -26 percent.The region experiences moderate w<strong>ind</strong>s; as shown in Figure 1 the w<strong>ind</strong> blowspredominantly from west during May to September while during Novemberand December predominant w<strong>ind</strong> direction is from east.

NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental Examinationsurface water body. It is said that the lake was once the main source of waterfor the town. Dodda Halla (a stream) is the major natural stream flowing alongthe southern and southeastern boundary of the town. This stream carriesoverflows of Haggere kere and also carries runoff from surrounding areas.60. The Dodda Halla runs dry for almost complete year except during for a shortduration of monsoon. The stream at present carries wastewater from the <strong>Haveri</strong>town; this water is mainly used for irrigation purpose. Almost entire area in thetown drains into the stream. This stream joins River Varada in the northeasternside of the town at about 12 km from the town. Given the low flow, extractionfor the irrigation and also the dry weather condition of the town, thewastewater never meets the river. The proposed sewage treatment plant (STP)is located near this stream and the treated sewage is proposed to be disposedoff into the stream.5. Groundwater61. Sizable population in <strong>Haveri</strong> depends on groundwater for the daily waterneeds. However, the main source of water supply for the town is from theRivers, Varada and Tungabhadra, flowing considerably far from the town. Inthe unserved areas of the town, the population is dependent on groundwatersources. The groundwater table is the area is deep fluctuating between 30 mand 50 m below ground level.Table 13. Groundwater Levels in <strong>Haveri</strong> (2002 – 20<strong>04</strong>)Month Depth of Water Table (in m)2002 2003 20<strong>04</strong>January 36.91 - 36.45February 29.25 - 37.25March 44.25 - 39.25April - - 41.75May - - 39.5June - - 34.25July - - 33.85August - - 30.05September - - 29.35October 41.25 34.65 27.8November 51.25 34 14.95December 52.25 35.05 15.05Source: Department of Mines & Geology62. The following table shows the groundwater characteristics in the area. Some ofthe monitored parameters such as TDS, chlorine exceed desirable limitsspecified under Indian Standard (IS) 10500, but are under permissible limits. Aspresented in Table 14, the quality of water has improved from monsoon to postmonsoon season. This is primarily because of high extractions during summerKUIDFC29WSAPL
NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental Examinationwhen the water table is lowered considerably resulting into decline of waterquality (refer Table above). Again, due to recharge of groundwater aquifersduring monsoon, the water table and ground water quality has improvedconsiderably. It may be noted that during this period the water table fluctuationwas recorded as high as 19 m. It may be mentioned, therefore, thatunsustainable levels of groundwater extractions are leading to decline in thewater quality.Table 14.

Air Quality63. As there are no major air pollution potential sources, the air quality of the town,in general, is within acceptable limits. Currently, no air quality monitoringstations are in operation within CMC limit.7. Flora and Fauna64. There are no forest areas within <strong>Haveri</strong> CMC and there are no sensitiveenvironmental features such as National Parks, Wetlands, and BiospehreReserves.65. Ranebennur Taluka of <strong>Haveri</strong> district is notable for occurrence of good herds ofBlackbucks. Wolves are also found but rare. Ranebennur Blackbuck sanctuarycovers an area of about 119 sq. km. The natural vegetation in the sanctuary hasbeen largely replaced by Eucalyptus plantations. Blackbuck (Antilopecervicapra), wolf (Canis lupus), jackal (C. aureus), porcupine and Indian hare(Lepus nigricollis) are the wild fauna species found here. <strong>Haveri</strong> district housespeacock sanctuary at Bankapura situated at 22 km away from <strong>Haveri</strong> Townspreading to 139 acres is the one among the two peacock sanctuaries in India.KUIDFC30WSAPL

Noendangered/protected species of either flora or fauna are found in the townand their surroundings.8. Socio Economic Characteristics66. Demography: <strong>Haveri</strong> has witnessed a gradual increase in the urban population.The population had increased from 45,295 in 1991 to 55,900 in 20<strong>01</strong> <strong>ind</strong>icating adecadal growth rate of 23.41 percent. Extending to a total area of 26.19 sq. Kminhabiting 55,900 population, the gross density of the town is 2,134 persons persq. km. The central part of the town is thickly populated where 3 wards arehaving population density more than 6000.67. Sex Ratio: The sex ratio (20<strong>01</strong>) in <strong>Haveri</strong> was 956, which is higher than thedistrict and the state urban average of 945 and 940 respectively. The town hashigher and literacy rate in comparison with the district and as well the state ofKarnataka. The respective figure in 20<strong>01</strong>, for <strong>Haveri</strong> was 80% and that ofdistrict and State urban was75% and 71.4 %.68. Economic Base: Due to its connectivity and vast agricultural hinterland, thetown of <strong>Haveri</strong> is becoming an important trading centre for agricultural basedproducts in the district. <strong>Haveri</strong> has Agriculture Producers Market Committee(APMC) yard that caters to the surrounding towns and villages, and mainlydeals with cottonseeds, groundnut, cardamom and other products. <strong>Haveri</strong> isadministrative centre of the region. <strong>Haveri</strong> is also an important religious centreand houses number of mutts.69. Poverty: Slum households constitute 11 percent of the total households in thetown. Slums occupy 39.8 Ha of area, which is around 1.5 percent of the totalCMC area.9. Cultural and Historic Places70. The town of <strong>Haveri</strong> is a historic place in the region. Siddeswara temple,situated in the town is an ancient and famous monument and an importantplace of worship. Here, one can witness the art of Dravida and Chalukya styleson the walls and columns of the temple. The temple is a protected monumentby Archeological Survey of India (ASI). In addition, there are many importantplaces like Kag<strong>ind</strong>i, Kanakapheeta, Adikeshava Temples are situated in thetown.71. In the recent times the <strong>Haveri</strong> has become an important religious place in theregion. The town is famous for Mutts; few famous mutts of Karnataka State,namely, Hukkeri Mutt, Hosakeri Mutt, Muragham Mutt, S<strong>ind</strong>hagi Mutt, andKUIDFC31WSAPL

Environmental Settings of Investment Program Component Sites1. Sewerage72. Sewer Lines: Sewer lines are proposed along the roads of densely built up areasof <strong>Haveri</strong> City. The city limit is well developed and there are no environmentalhotspots along the proposed areas.73. Siddeswara Temple located along SH 2 towards Guttal within <strong>Haveri</strong> CMC is aprotected monument by ASI. According to Ancient Monuments andArcheological Sites and Remains Act, 1958, area within the radii of 100 m and300 m from the “protected property” are designated as “prohibited area” and“regulated area” respectively. Construction of building, mining and excavationare not permitted in “prohibited area” and these activities in “regulated area”need prior permission of the Archaeological Survey of India. Map 6 shows theprohibited and regulated area around Siddeswara Temple within <strong>Haveri</strong> CMC.NMap 6. ASI Prohibited and Regulated Areas With Respect to Siddeswara Temple74. Due care has been given in the design stage to avoid laying of sewer line withinthe prohibited area by suggesting sewer line on the opposite side of SH 2 suchthat the activities does not fall within prohibited area. Further, according toAncient Monuments and Archeological Sites and Remains Rules, 1959, sewerlining is not a restricted activity in regulated area. Hence the project does notKUIDFC32WSAPL
NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental Examinationrequire consent from ASI.75. STP Site: The location of the sewage treatment plant is selected based on thetopography to provide for gravity flow till the disposal point. The townpredominantly slopes towards south and south eastern side and therefore theSTP site selected in the southeastern side of the town. Two alternative siteswere selected for STP on topographical considerations. Site 1, located near theYattinahalli village at about 4 km from the town was rejected considering that(i) the site is not easily accessible; (ii) the trunk sewer has to cross two streamsto reach the plant; and (iii) requires land acquisition for approach road and forlaying of trunk sewer. The Site 2, which is finally selected for STP, hasaccessibility and ideally located at about 2 km from the town and away fromhabitation areas. The STP location is shown in Map 7.NMap 7. Proposed STP Site and Surroundingi) The peak flow for ulimate year is estimated to be 9.43 MLD. It has beenestimated that the land requirement per MLD of the sewage to be treatedwith Facultative Aerated Lagoon is 0.84 acre. So the total landrequirement for the STP Site for the peak flow of 9.43 MLD for theultimate year, shall be 9.43 x 0.84 acre.ii) Approximately 19 acres of land is available with the Ministry of Health,which has been handed over to the ULB for the purpose of establishingSTP in this location.KUIDFC33WSAPL

The soil of the site ischaracterised by clayey soil.iv) The depth of groundwater table is deep at around 40 to 50m belowground level.v) There is no development in the vicinity. Sparse development can beobserved at around 1.0 km from the site.vi) Site is surrounded by agricultural fields. Due to non-availability ofirrigation facilities only rain fed crops are cultivated here. Cotton andpulses are the main crops cultivated in the area. No groundwaterextraction points such as bore wells are located with in the vicinity.vii) The site has proper access; a road passes adjacent to the site. A smallseasonal stream, Dodda Halla which is presently draining the waste waterfrom the town boundaries western side of proposed STP site. The streamruns dry for the entire year except for two to three months during themonsoon. This stream joins River Varada approximately at 16.02 km northof proposed STP site. As the stream runs through agricultural fields wherefarmers are utilizing the waste water for irrigation purpose, the waterdoes not reach the river in down stream. In the present proposal, thetreated effluent from STP is proposed to be discharged in to this stream.2. Water Supply76. Improvement at intake point of River Varada, developing Heggere Kere as animpounding reservoir, laying pipe line from River Varada to New WTP andHeggere Kere along with enhancement of distribution network in the CMC arethe proposals made under NKUSIP.77. Improvement at Intake Point of River Varada: The existing intake point inRiver Varada will be rehabilitated as the intake point during monsoon to storewater in Heggere Kere to cater city’s summer demand. There are noenvironmental sensitive issues along the intake point or neighboring.78. Developing Heggere Kere as an impounding Reservoir: The lake is sufficientenough to store 1400 ML water but has to be developed as a fresh waterreservoir. There are no significant environmental sensitive features along theproposed area.79. New Pipe Lining from River Varada to New WTP / Heggere Kere: This willinvolve lying of pipeline for 11 km length. Landuse along major part of thealignment is agricultural.3. Urban DrainageKUIDFC34WSAPL

Potential environmental impacts of the proposed infrastructure components arepresented in this section. Mitigation measures to minimize/mitigate negativeimpacts, if any, are recommended along with the agency responsible forimplementation. Monitoring actions to be conducted during theimplementation phase is also recommended to reduce the impact.82. Screening of potential environmental impacts is categorized into four categoriesconsidering Investment Program phases: location impacts and design impacts(pre construction phase), construction phase impacts and operations andmaintenance phase impacts.i) Location impacts include impacts associated with site selection andinclude loss of on-site biophysical array and encroachment either directlyor <strong>ind</strong>irectly on adjacent environments. It also includes impacts on peoplewho will lose their livelihood or any other structures by the developmentof that site.ii) Design impacts include impacts arising from Investment Program design,including technology used, scale of operation/throughput, wasteproduction, discharge specifications, pollution sources and ancillaryservices.iii) Construction impacts include impacts caused by site clearing, earthworks,machinery, vehicles and workers. Construction site impacts includeerosion, dust, noise, traffic congestion and waste production.iv) O&M impacts include impacts arising from the operation andmaintenance activities of the infrastructure facility. These include routinemanagement of operational waste streams, and occupational health andsafety issues.83. Screening of environmental impacts has been based on the impact magnitude(negligible/moderate/severe – in the order of increasing degree) and impactduration (temporary/permanent). The following table shows the screening ofimpacts; N/T represents the lowest impact while S/P represents the highestimpact. Numerator represents the Degree of Impact and denominatorrepresents the Duration of impact.84. In case of sewerage components, no significant impacts are anticipated sincethe laying of sewer line will be along the already built up area. STP location hasKUIDFC36WSAPL

A two tier consultation process was adopted for NKUSIP for informationdisclosure and making all the concerned people involved in the project.Institutional consultations were conducted with the GovernmentalDepartments such as Planning Department, Urban Development Board, PublicWorks Department, Pollution Control Board, Karnataka Urban Water Supplyand Drainage Board, <strong>Haveri</strong> CMC, etc. After the consultations with <strong>Haveri</strong>CMC, the Commissioner has certified that the proposals for <strong>Haveri</strong> suit therequirements of the ULB. The certificates are presented as Appendix 3.96. Public consultation involved focus group discussions. The people residingalong the project activity areas were consulted during topographical surveysand site visits and due discussions were made regarding the proposals. It wasobserved that people are willing to extend their co operation as the proposedactivities are supposed to enhance the living standard of the public. The publicexpressed their concern regarding the traffic management activities during theconstruction stage which can have impact on their day to day activities. Publicdemanded for advance notice before construction and proper warning signsalong the construction area to avoid accidents and inconvenience. It wasdemanded for a strong operation and maintenance system in place for theproposed sewer network for its best functioning to have the maximum healthand aesthetic benefits.Public Consultation at <strong>Haveri</strong>Public Consultation at Varada Barrage97.

Odour, mosquito, noise nuisanceand health risk to the public withstagnation of sewage in theproposed STP.Mitigation MeasuresThe FAL based STP will not pose odournuisance as provision for forced aeration forfast degradation of pollutants areincorporated as part of STP.There will not be stagnation of sewage inany of the systems in STP; there is leastpossibility for anaerobic conditions withinSTP units and resultant fowl smell from thesystem. As the sewage is continuouslyflowing and aerated in the STP units; hencemosquito breeding is also not envisagedwithin STP units.The STP area will be kept hygienically,cleared off grass and weeds such that therewon’t be any mosquito or flies breedingfrom the site.2. Over flowing of Sewage andpolluting agricultural lands andaffecting livelihood of public.Provision of Visual Screens and land scapinghas been integrated as a part of STP whichwill effectively control the nuisance to theimmediate surrounding.The proposed sewer networks areadequately sized to meet the projectedsewage flow from city limit.Sewer lines will be cleaned regularly and thesewer cleaning equipments will be suppliedduring the project implementation stage.3. If there is no regular and longterm operation and maintenancesystem for STP; the proposedarea will be a discharge groundfor raw sewage generated in<strong>Haveri</strong> CMC.STP units are adequately sized to handle thesewage reaching the site. Further, DG backup will be provided for STP such thattreatment unit will be operational round theclock; hence there is no possibility foroverflowing of sewage from STP.<strong>Haveri</strong> Municipality is responsible forregular operation and maintenance of STPby allotting workers for sewer maintenanceand STP operation through a qualifiedcontractor.KUIDFC61WSAPL
NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental ExaminationAs specified in the contract document, thecontractor will be responsible for operationand maintenance of the STP for one monthafter construction of STP, during which thestaff of CMC will be trained for safeoperational practices of STP. There after theCMC workers will be skilled to handle thesystem <strong>ind</strong>ependently.Hence, there is no possibility for lagging inregular and long term maintenance ofsewage system and to have adverse impacton public.KUIDFC62WSAPL

Based on the screening of environmental impacts, all the proposed sub-projectcomponents in <strong>Haveri</strong> are found to be environmentally acceptable andtherefore able to proceed to the implementation phase. In most cases, particularenvironmental issues identified are those that are typical for the type ofcomponent, and a range of proven mitigation strategies exist to address them.Table 25 <strong>ind</strong>icates the environmental consideration of the proposedinfrastructure components.Table 25. Environmental Issues of Infrastructure ComponentsInfrastructureComponentEnvironmental Impact IssueEnvironmentalMitigationsSewage treatment Sludge handling and disposal Appropriate mitigationplant and sewerage Construction and operation measures as suggestedupgradationimpacts aDrainage No significant issues N/a.upgradationWater Supply No significant issuesAppropriate mitigationRehabilitation Construction and operation measures as suggestedimpacts99. As described above, most impacts are relevant to typical construction andoperation. The important sets of mitigation measures, which are relevant tomost of the components, include preparation of activity plans usingappropriate mitigation measures identified in the earlier sections. These activityplans include:i) Sludge Management and Disposal Plan (to address sludge handling anddisposal impacts at the STP).ii) Health Risk Plan (to address the health related impacts of the STP workersand Sanitary workers)100. These activity plans should be prepared by the ULB associated by InvestmentProgram Consultant as compendium of the relevant mitigation measuresidentified in earlier section. They should form part of the contractualarrangements with construction contractors, or directly implemented by theCMC as facility operator, as required ‘ Work Practices’.KUIDFC63WSAPL
NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental ExaminationB. Recommendations1<strong>01</strong>. It is recommended that the PMU should be involved in monitoring theimplementation of those components that are critical to acceptableenvironmental performance of the component. Owing to the location ofproposed facilities and geographical setting of the town/region as a whole, nomajor impacts envisaged from any of the proposed sub-component InvestmentPrograms in <strong>Haveri</strong>. In view of this importance, the PMU is delegated with themonitoring responsibility of the design stage to ensure the environmentalsustainability of the NKUSIP.KUIDFC64WSAPL
NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCInitial Environmental ExaminationVIII. CONCLUSIONS102. It may be emphasized that, owning to: (i) scale of activity, (ii) location of theproposed sub-project component, and (iii) ‘no environmental sensitivity’ of thesub-project town, none of the components required to go through the process ofEIA. It may be emphasized that the present IEE, which identifies potentialimpacts and suggests appropriate mitigation measures, is sufficient enough tosafeguard the environment. There are no significant adverse impacts, which areirreversible or may lead to considerable loss/destruction of environment,envisaged. All the impacts are simple and moreover proven mitigationmeasures exists to minimize/mitigate the same. Hence, no further study suchas an EIA is required.KUIDFC65WSAPL

Regular maintenances of sewerline have to be carried out toavoid over flow of sewer linesand related impact of publichealth due to pollution.There is no possibility forgroundwater pollution due tofailure in sewerage system asthe ground water table issufficiently deep (30-50 feet )• Deterioration of water quality due to inadequatesludge disposal or direct discharge of untreatedsewage water?• Contamination of surface and ground waters dueto sludge disposal on land?• Health and safety hazards to workers from toxicgases and hazardous materials which may becontained in sewage flow and exposure topathogens in sewage and sludge? Sludge from the bottom of FALhas to be removed at regularintervals (normally once in 2-3years) to avoid re-suspension inthe treated water and there bydeteriorating treated waterquality.Direct discharge of untreatedsewage water is not anticipated. Sludge should be disposed offonly in pre-identified disposalsites. The sludge disposal areasshould be properly lined withgeosynthetic lining such that itwill not leach to the nearbywater courses / land andpollute environment. Mixing of hazardous /<strong>ind</strong>ustrial effluents with sewagemay result in toxic gasformation in sewer and STPwhich should be avoidedthrough proper law andenforcement.The sewer cleaning and STPworkers should be providedprotective measures such asboots, masks etc to avoidexposure to pathogens insewage and sludge.KUIDFCvWSAPL

However, pollution due tosoil erosion runoff is anticipated,as the river is flowing throughagricultural areas. Siddeswara temple (protectedmonument) is more than 300 maway from the new raw waterpipe line and hence there will notbe any impact on the protectedmonument. There is no ground waterexploitation for proposed watersupply improvements for <strong>Haveri</strong>CMC. . There is no resettlement of peoplerequired for projectimplementation. Hence there is nopossibility for social conflictrelated with displacement ofpeople. The proposal for <strong>Haveri</strong> CMCinvolves only pumping of surpluswater from River Varada to animpounding reservoir, HeggereLake during monsoon. This willnot reduce the water availabilityin the river for any other uses allthrough the year. The existing raw water supply issupposed to continue. The present project does notinvolve any upgradation /operation maintenance proposalfor Water treatment plant. Thetreatment plant should bemaintained properly by <strong>Haveri</strong>CMC to have the outlet qualitymeeting drinking water standards.
