1. BACKGROUND 1. Banepa, Panauti and Dhulikhel Municipalities are three rapidly emerging cities due to their

proximity in location from Kathmandu - the capital city of Nepal. These three cities have become places of prime importance from commercial point of view and trade link to Tibet - the autonomous region of China.

2. All the three cities have water supply system. However, the supply is irregular and insufficient for the growing population. The Government of Nepal (GoN) with financial assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB) is implementing Secondary Towns Integrated Urban Environmental Improvement Project (STIUEIP). One of the important components of the STIUEIP is the Kavre Valley Integrated Water Supply Project (KVIWSP- hereinafter referred to as the Component) with an objective to improve water supply system in the three cities Banepa, Panauti and Dhulikhel municipalities. As a combined water supply scheme for Banepa, Dhulikhel and Panauti municipalities, the scheme is considering to extract water from Roshi Khola and its tributaries such as Khar Khola, Gudgude Khola, Bairamahadev Kholsi, and Shishakhani Kholsi. After implementation of this Component, the supply of water in all three municipalities will be regular and sufficient enough to meet the need of the present population.

Figure 1: Project Location (indicating three municipalities)

3. The Component is an environment category ‘B’ according to ADB’s Safeguards Policy Statement 2009, which means environmental impact is less adverse and is mostly site specific. Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) is sufficient for category ‘B’ projects. Hence, an IEE of the Component was prepared during the project processing by ADB.However, as per the Schedule 2 related to Rule 3 of the Environmental Protection Act 1997 (amendment 20 August 2007- EPR) of the Government of Nepal (GON), the project requires Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Following the provision of EPR, an EIA of the Component was prepared and approved by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment on 24 January 2013.

4. The downstream water user community of the source area in Bhumidanda Village Development Committee (VDC) raised a few demands at the time of implementation under the name of Nagarik Sarokar Samaj (Citizens Concern Society), Kalanti, Bhumidanda VDC (hereinafter named as NSS), and submitted a list of 19 point written demands on 7 October 2013 (Annex II), of which 4 issues were directly concerned to the project management of the Component.

5. The main purpose of preparing this report was in response to the demand raised by the NSS. The issues were raised at the time of project implementation. Although numbers of public consultation and hearings were organized by STIUEIP for the Component, it was noted that a few impacts and mitigation measures were not sufficiently addressed in the IEE and EIA reports. The downstream water users have been using water for running of traditional mills and irrigation from generations. They believe that water abstraction from the source by the Component will adversely affect the water availability in their mills and irrigation systems thereby affecting their livelihood. Hence, consultations with the concerned stakeholders were organized several times. The Project organized consultation with NSS on 21 January 2014 and signed a seven point agreement on 11 Feb 2014 to address their demands. Several other consultation meetings with NSS followed including the meeting of 22 May 2014.

6. Further initiatives were taken by the Project through field observation and water flow measurement to estimate the real situation regarding the issues raised by NSS. River discharge measurement was performed scientifically at different water availability situations through third party involvement in the presence of local community leaders. Alternative improvements in technology for increased efficiency of traditional water mills were also explored, and the irrigation channel improvement for water use efficiency was surveyed. This updated environmental management plan is prepared by incorporating the new data and information to supplement the existing IEE and EIA report.

2. ISSUES OF PUBLIC CONCERN AND RELEVANCE TO KVIWSP

7. The project related issues raised by public are discussed below, while the detailed list of demands is provided in Annex II.The following four issues have been found relevant as per the experts opinion and as discussed with the NSS, and are included in the updated Environmental Management Plan:

Demand no. 1 of the 19 point NSS demand: Stream discharge measurement shall be performed in the presence of NSS;

Demand no. 2 of the 19 point NSS demand: Provision of extensive canal network and drip irrigation in dry land area and rehabilitation of traditional water mills shall be ensured;

6 | P a g e

Demand no. 4 of the 19 point NSS demand: In case of insufficient supply of water for the irrigation of paddy and potato field especially during the driest months (June and July), allowance of supply water from the transmission main of the Component shall be ensured;

Demand no. 15 of the 19 point NSS demand: Guarantee 25% royalty from the total water revenue collected for development of the affected area under the Bhumidanda village development committee.

3. MULTIPLE USE OF WATER FROM ROSHI RIVER 3.1 Drinking Water

8. Drinking water was identified as the largest sector utilizing the available water resources in the Roshi River basin. Dhulikhel Water Supply System abstracts about 15-16 lps from the Khar Khola, a tributary of Roshi River. As the quantity of water withdrawn for water supply is negligible the field team confirmed that such small water supply systems will not be impacted by the withdrawal of water by the Component. On the contrary, Dhulikhel Water Supply System will be improved under the Component to expand the coverage and improve regular service of the existing system. The Component has already obtained permission of the district water resource committee for the construction and execution of the project as guided by the Water Resources Act, 1992. The Water Resources Act, 1992 provides the following priority orders to be followed while utilizing the water resources: drinking water and domestic use; irrigation; agriculture use; and hydropower development.

9. At present, water resources of Roshi Khola basin has been used for all the four purposes as listed above. The study team measured recent discharge of the river two times on 17 March and 9 April, 2014 to address the demand. The details of discharge measurements are given in Table 1 and Table 2.

3.2 Irrigation 10. The Study team conducted comprehensive field inspection for assessment of the status of the

existing irrigation system, irrigated land and water allocation model in the Bhumidanda VDC (Table 3). A total of 40.5 hectare (810 Ropanies) of land is covered under irrigation by irrigation canals of total length of 1,970 m (Annex III a, and Annex III b). The irrigation water requirements is calculated on the basis of the crop cultivated during driest period with the crop factor 1.2 (max. value for potato and wheat cultivated in dry period upto 1.7 m root depth), evapotranspiration factor 6.07 mm/day (0.228 inch/day) and water requirement guidelines provided by District Irrigation Office, Kavrepalanchowk using Penman Method.

11. Irrigation is the largest water used from the Roshi Basin water source. There are some

diversions along Roshi Khola at the upstream of Roshi and Behabar Khola confluence in Bhumidanda VDC. The field assessment of existing irrigation systems in Bhumidanda VDC has shown that there are altogether 9 irrigation canals which are also used by water mills. Of the 9 canals, 5 are for both irrigation and water mill operation and 4 are only for irrigation purpose. It was observed that the 5 canals are used to run water mills first and then to irrigate the downstream agriculture land, although the priority is given for irrigation purpose over operation of water mills. In addition, there are other 2 small canals which are used to run water mills only without irrigation. Length of the canals ranges from 40 meter to about 1,100 meter. Bahun Chour Raj Kulo (main canal) is the largest canal in the area which is used to run a water mill and to irrigate about 500 Ropanis of land.

12. An assessment of existing irrigation system to assess the likely impact on irrigation in

Bhumidanda was carried out in the month of May 2014. The finding of assessment reveals that total 26.6 lps water is required to irrigate command area of 810 Ropani. Of the discharge measured in four different sections of Roshi Khola, minimum discharge of 135 lps was recorded at Gudgude Junction which is taken as reference discharge for irrigation. After deducting the design water demand for KVIWSS i.e. 77.73 lps, the minimum available discharge for downstream use will be 57.27 lps, which is available for irrigation purpose in Kalanti Bhumidanda VDC. Therefore, during the lean period water available at Roshi Khola will be sufficient for irrigation in Bhumidanda after diversion of 77.73 lps water for KVIWSS. However, most of the existing canals are earthen and unlined, which were built locally by the users using available local materials. As reported by local people almost all canals have become old and are not functioning properly with significant water leakage. Hence, rehabilitation of existing canals will increase system efficiency and reduce water losses due to seepage. Based on the findings of the Study, the project implementation unit, STIUEIP has agreed with the NSS to rehabilitate the existing canals.

13. Roshi Phant at Khopasi in Panauti is the largest irrigation system about 500m downstream of

Roshi and Behabar Khola confluence. During the design period it was supposed that the irrigation canal intake may not be able to withdraw water from the river during dry days (March/April) due to reduction in water level in Roshi Khola. To mitigate the likely impact, the project implementation unit, STIUEIP has agreed to provide pumps to the farmers to ensure that they will be able to draw the same level of water to continue their operations. The electricity costs to run the pumps will be provided by the Kavre Water Supply Management Board, which will use revenue generated from the water tariffs to pay for the cost required to operate the pumps.

3.3 Water Mills 14. A total of 16 traditional water mills along the course of Roshi Khola in Kushavedi and Kalanti

Bhumidanda VDCs (Table 4) have been located by the Socio-economic Surveys of December 2009, January 2010 and May 2014. The Social Assessment and Resettlement Plan Report 2011 (SARP) states that the capacity of grinding cereals is 100-120 kg a day (according to water mill owners). The service charge is paid in kind. The water mill owners are worried that their source of livelihood could be threatened if water supply becomes limited. The PIU consulted with the mill owners and agreed to provide financial assistance to upgrade the water mills. The PIU has also agreed to provide disturbance allowance to overcome the income loss during the upgrading of water mills to ensure their livelihood is not adversely affected.

15. Field assessment of the water mills was conducted in May 2014 to appraise the impact on

these water mills. Two water mills are located in Panauti Ward no-9 about 500 meter downstream of the confluence of the streams Roshi and Behaverkhola. Sufficient quantity of water will be available to run those water mills even after the diversion of 77.73 lps water by the Component. However, the mill owners reported that the canals are earthen and unlined, which were built locally using available local materials and are not functioning properly due to water leakage. The canals may not be able to withdraw required quantity of water for water mills from the river during dry days (March/April). Therefore, rehabilitation for efficiency improvement of the canals is required to ensure proper operation of the water mills.

16. The PIU, STIUEIP has provided compensation to a couple of mill owners in 2011, a detail of which is presented in the following Table 5.The PIU further consulted with the remaining water mill owners and finally reached an agreement on dated 9th February 2014 regarding the compensation of the mills in agreement with the mill owners. Following the agreement, the compensation for water mills is paid to 8 water mill owners till April 2014. Financial assistance of NRs. 77,000 per water mill has been provided to the mill owners, which covers the water mill upgrading/improvement cost of NRs. 50,000 and water mill disturbance allowance of NRs. 27,000 to overcome the income loss during the upgrading period. The compensation for rest of the 6 water mill owners is under process. There has been some difficulty in identifying the actual mill owner as more than one person haveclaimed for compensation from the same water mill. In other cases, lack of necessary documents and evidence has caused delay in compensation payment. Field assessment and socio-economic household survey of additional 3 water mills in Bhumidanda and Panauti were also conducted for providing compensation.

3.4 Other Uses

17. Khopasi Hydropower is under operation by drawing water from the Roshi River basin. The local people informed that the hydropower is operational only during wet season. The project will not have impact in operation of the hydropower plant as enough water during the wet season is left for normal operations. The Project has already taken permission from the concerned agency for diversion of water for drinking water purpose.

18. A cremation platform (Ghat) is located at the downstream area of the confluence of Roshi and Punyamata Rivers. The Ghat requires water for bathing and other religious purposes. The water available in the downstream after diversion of water by the Component will be sufficient for carrying out religious and cultural activities on riverbanks as demanded by the local customs and traditions. Design of water supply system also considers about 10 percent of river flow to be released for downstream environment flow following the government policy.

4. PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION 19. The Resettlement Plan (RP) and Indigenous People’s Plan (IPP) was prepared, updated and

implemented in close consultation with the stakeholders. The consultants conducted village level consultative meetings with the affected peoples (APs) and village representative during the plan preparation. Several field visit and interaction programs were carried out in Banepa, Panauti and Dhulikhel municipalities, and Kusadevi and Bhumidanda VDCs to consult with the local stakeholders. Summary of the RP and IPP was prepared in Nepali and distributed to the affected people and other stakeholders. Some of the major meetings and interactions held are presented in the following Table 6.

20. Furthermore, a public consultation plan (Table 7) with following objectives has been prepared to

be organized every six months, besides others, considering the request of the local people and the opinion received from the experts. Main objective of this consultation plan is to disseminate the project related information to the public and to get feedback from them on the sub-projects. It helps bridge the conflicts, and clear up misunderstandings and avoid project delays. The public include all relevant stakeholders including the bureaucrats, and indirect or direct project beneficiaries. The process includes giving public notices through the office of Village Development Committee to the public before the monsoon (in the first week of the month of May), and later in post monsoon (in the first week of December) to provide initial information about the project development and to solicit public relations, comments and suggestions. Newspaper notices shall also be used in simple local language without any technical jargon, published in the local newspapers, in the process to inform people about the day, time and venue of the meetings.

5. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES 21. Detailed anticipated impacts and mitigation identified during preparation of IEE and EIA are

organized as Environmental Management Plan (Annex 1). Most of the significant environment related issues are summarized as follows;

5.1 Source Pollution and Protection Measures 22. The Study team assessed pollution risk in Roshi Khola and its tributaries by the proposed

Component. It was anticipated that open defecation, grazing and non-point pollution sources from surrounding agriculture fields may cause contamination of the sources; however the field investigation and results obtained from water samples analysis indicates that the sources are free from pollution. Regular water sample testing from source shall be one of the scopes of the operation and maintenance service provider. Forests and their associated soils and litter layers usually improve water quality provided the source of contamination is within the carrying capacity of the system. But, forest disturbances of various kinds such as felling of trees and removing ground cover can speed up the movement of water from the system and, in effect, reduce the filtering action. Disturbances are inevitable in any construction activities contributing to poor water quality by increased turbidity (suspended solids) as well as increases in temperature and nutrient content. It is further observed that the sediment arising from logging of felled trees may also accelerate the water-quality pollution, as felling of trees and logging activities are occurring in the project area.Similarly, routine testing should be conducted to analyze water samples at source for heavy metal contamination.

5.2 Water Use Conflicts and Downstream Communities

23. Concerns were raised on the impact of diversion of water from the RoshiKhola and its

tributaries to the downstream water uses such as irrigation and operating the traditional water mills. The project conducted a number of meaningful consultations with downstream water users and developed measures such as providing pumps to farmers in KhopasiPhant, Panauti and allowances for upgrading water mills to make them improved with water efficient systems.Fieldstudy has confirmed that sufficient water will be available for continued operations of irrigation and water mills. However, water level during dry season will become lower in the River. The resultsof discharge measurement on 17 March and 9 April 2014 (the lean season) has also confirmed that the farmers will be able to continue their existingirrigation canal operation and water use will be unaffected. Moreover, government rules require water diversion projects to leave at least 10 percent available discharge as environmental flow. The Study also confirms that downstream water available for the downstream users is sufficient during the driest periodfor abstraction by the Component (77.73 lps). Thus, the findings confirmsthat the water available at the Roshi River sources is sufficient for the proposed combined water system and downstream uses during the dry months of March and April. Also, the measurement of flow shall be carried out regularly to generate a time series data on discharge to predict trend of discharge and impact from future uncertainties caused due to climate variability.

15 | P a g e

5.3 Land Degradation and Water Resources

24. Micro-watershed level degradation due to cutting of trees and extraction of stones, aggregates

and mineral is in rise in the catchment. With GoN’s stringent policy and restrictions on extraction of stones, gravel and sand from river beds, collection from hill slopes will be accelerated increasing land degradation. Land degradation affects water resources by altering the regimes of rivers and streams. Potential impacts include flooding, silting of river beds and pollution of water.

25. Kusadevi and Bhumidanda VDCs, should be treated as key watersheds protected for the purpose of freshwater management. Efforts should be made by the Government to protect the watershed and control over extraction of aggregates from the area.
