Introduction

Project Background:

The Government of Karnataka (GoK) through the Karnataka Urban Infrastructure

Development and Finance Corporation (KUIDFC) has envisaged the North Karnataka Urban

Sector Investment Programme (NKUSIP) under the Asian Development Bank (ADB)

assistance. The goal of the programme is to improve the level, quality and sustainability of

basic urban services in selected Urban Local Bodies (ULB), contributing to improved quality

of life among the urban poor. The objectives of NKUSIP is consistent with Government of

India (GoI) urban reform objectives for the Tenth Plan period, which entails a reform agenda

to initiate the process of

Enhancing the capacity of urban local bodies to assume their functions in accordance

with the 74th constitutional Amendment, with greater sustainability and

accountability.

Strengthening local finances through rationalization and improvement of property tax,

and levy of sufficient user charges.

Ensuring improved maintenance of existing assets; and

Introducing better accounting and Financial Management practices.

KUIDFC was set up as an agency for the speedy planning and implementation of its urban

development programs. The program would comprise the works in Environmental sanitation,

water supply, storm water drainage, poverty alleviation programmes, and non municipal

infrastructure.

Hubballi sub-projects include Sewerage Treatment plant, UGD Sewage network and wet-

wells. The Investment Program is designed to minimize land acquisition and resettlement

impacts.

Need of the Sub-project:

Hubli-Dharwad has an underground drainage system (UGD) since 1950, which covers 35

percent of total road length in Hubli area and 27 percent in Dharwad area. Karnataka Urban

Water Supply and Drainage Board (KUWSDB) have taken up the responsibility of providing

sewerage and sanitation services in these twin cities. Survey results indicate that all

households have access to safe disposal systems (40 percent of households with individual

toilets are connected to UGD while the remaining 60 percent are connected to septic tanks).

Forty eight percent of sample households that do not have access to UGD dispose their

kitchen waste into roadside drains. In absence of a centralized sewage disposal system in the

entire area, the toilets in the individual houses are connected to septic tanks with soak pits.

The public toilets are connected to existing sewerage system if available nearby or to septic

tanks with soak pits. As soak pits are not effective in dispersion of the effluent to subsurface,

wastewater overflow from septic tanks into storm water drains and nallas are common

phenomenon. The public conveniences existing in the city are not adequate to serve the slum

dwellers and the economically weaker section of the society.

Sewerage facility will have to be designed to take care of the city municipal council in the

following aspects.

• Providing the sewer network to carry anticipated flows in year 2041.

• Providing sewage treatment plant to take care of year 2041 demand and Located at

` suitable location so that entire sewage can be drained into this plant by gravity

possibly.

Location of the project site:

1) Wet Well site is situated in Byiridevarakoppa Village in Tq Hubballi, Dist- Dharwad.

The site ares is 6320 sq mtr, The site is easily accessible from the Hubballi-Dharwad

City and the distance to Byiridevarakoppa Village is around 01 km .

Objectives of the Project

The main objectives of the project are as follows:

Wet wells are the holding sump for gravity-flow sewer systems. As sewage enters the

wet well and the water level rises, pumps are engaged to pump out the sewage to a

forced main, or the sewage is lifted to a higher grade to continue the gravity flow to

the outlet point. Solid material will accumulate in the bottom of the wet well and

incoming sewage lines.

Lift stations are low points in a gravity-flow sewer system where incoming sewage is

pumped from a well to a higher grade to continue the gravity flow to the treatment

plant. As solid material, such as rags, enters the lift station, buildup will occur on the

bottom of the well and in other components within the station. Solid materials can

often plug or damage pump impellers, so periodic cleaning is required to remove the

solid material from the lift station.

Sewage lift/pump stations are used for pumping wastewater or sewage from a lower

to higher elevation, particularly where the elevation of the source is not sufficient for

gravity flow and/or when the use of gravity conveyance will result in excessive

excavation and higher construction costs.

Sewage lift stations/pump stations may be used as a matter of economics or to

overcome inadequate hydraulic head when it is obvious that no other solution is

practical. For instance, it may be more economical to utilize a sewage pump station to

pump or lift the sewage over a ridge and let it flow by gravity to a sewage treatment

plant, or to elevate sewage to pass through a sewage treatment system by gravity.

Key elements of lift/pump stations include a wastewater treatment receiving well

(wet-well), equipped with lift pumps and piping with valves, a junction box, and an

equipment control panel with alarm system.

A properly designed wet well is essential for efficient and trouble-free operation of

the lift/pump station. The purpose of a wet well is to provide a means of allowing

automatic operation of the lift station with a simple control. Use of the wet well for

any other purpose, such as a storage reservoir for sewage, is not recommended. The

wet well should be as small as possible in order to minimize detention time of the

sewage. Should the wastewater remain too long in the wet well, septic action may

occur. Although, the wet well should be large enough so excessive starting and

stopping of the lift station pump will not take place. Lift/pump stations do not usually

include large above ground structures and tend to blend in with their surrounding

environment.

Scope of the Sub-project

The salient features of the subproject are as below:

Pipes laying of UGD Networks

Construction of Wet well

Total Length of Sub main Proposed - 37.31 Km

Total Length of Trunk main - 4.375 Km

Total Length of Integration - 3.00 Km

Total Length of Additional lines - 15.25 Km

Requirement of Due-Diligence Report

Government land has been used for the purpose of construction of Wet well. In this project

there is no involuntary resettlement involved and hence the preparation of RP for this project

is not required. The objective of this Due diligence report (DDR) is to review the Sub project

Land acquisition and resettlement (LAR) impacts if any, based on the detailed design and

propose mitigation measures if, necessary in accordance with ADB’s Involuntary

Resettlement Policy, (IR)1995.

Prior to detailed design, the cadastral maps were examined to understand the ownership of

land. Verification of the cadastral maps was done in the field based on the survey and

measurement.

For the construction of wet-well , 6320 Sq mtrs of land was required. Vacant land

measuring 6320 Sq mtrs which was under the ownership of HDMC was earmarked for the

subproject .

The subproject will not entail any permanent land acquisition and resettlement. Site

assessment of the entire proposed areas, where works will be undertaken was taken up.

Based on it: there will be no expected impacts on private/public land, private properties like

housing, shops, commercial buildings, religious and community infrastructure. No negative

impacts on livelihood are envisaged. The proposed area is completely vacant and in

possession of HDMC . There are no Non-Titled Holders in the earmarked land.

Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement

As mentioned earlier, the total land requirement for the sub project was 6320 Sq mtrs , for

which Government land was utilized.
