Project Summary
• Techno-economic feasibility study of a piped water distribution for north Karjat
• Optimization of design• Approximately 100 hamlets• Almost no water in the region from February
to monsoons– Groundwater supplies (wells, handpumps) dry up– Rivers dry out– Not enough Dams
Considerations
• Source identification• Population forcasting• Cost of materials and labor• Per capita demand• Topographical data of region (elevation,
latitude, longitude)• Optimization of pipe diameters and economic
velocity of water
Achieved so far• Selection of target area• Construction of detailed, high resolution maps of
the region• Digitization of population data (obtained with the
help of Disha Kendra and Tehshil’s office) and lat/long and elevation of hamlets
• Multiple visits to Mr. Ade at Minor Irrigation, Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran (MJP) and Disha Kendra for guidance
• Field visit with MJP to Anjap Project
Achieved so far
• Used different methods to forcast population till 2050 (arithmetic, geometric, graphical, incremental increase)
• Detailed study of design software EPANET 2.0 and optimization program Branch 3.0 and Loop 4.0
• Creation of primary and secondary sample designs for testing
• Visited TATA Powers office for permission to visit their Bhivpuri hydro-power station
What needs to be done• Break target region into small clusters based on
elevation and relevant distances• Streamline design process (building of high resolution
maps and data entry)• Collect population data for villages not included in
census• Create a series of sample designs to present to MJP for
advice• Detailed exploration of lift-up points: Pej River, Poshir,
Barvi Dam, Bhivpuri• Find a reliable information source for river discharge
data
