BHOPAL
Objectives desired to be achieved by the year 2031 concerning the city water
WATER
supply are:
•To achieve 24x365 (Continuous water supply throughout day and year).
SUPPLY
•Safe and potable quality of water.
•100% coverage through the piped water supply.
•Financially sustainable water supply system.
•High consumer satisfaction.
•Unaccounted for Water (UFW) to be reduced to less than 10%.
•Independent regulatory authority to decide tariff, policy and monitor service.
•Strengthening/Upgradation/Provision of pumping stations, pipelines and water
treatment plants.
•Leak assessment, detection and repairs covering the whole city to achieve UFW
less than 10%
•Recycle and reuse of treated sewage industrial waste.
Distribution System
It is proposed that 100% of the city population will be covered under piped water
supply system by year 2031 with adequate supply pressure. At present about 67%
of city’s population is covered by piped water supply.
Source wise water availability
Observations and Issues
1. capacity of water treatment is inefficient to produce the treated water as per 3. The sources have the capacity to reach the demand but the water supply
the water demand. network is inadequate to cover the whole city.
2. If ever the source is able to produce the required water demand there is 4. The present water supply Network is highly inefficient due to Leakages
no adequate storage facility of water produced, which is half the water and Dilapidated Network
demand per day.
Visions
SEWERAGE
Following is the vision for the Sewerage system.
1. Open defecation free city, toilets in all houses.
2. Sewerage system to cover 100% city as already been proposed in AMRUT.
3. Facilitate and encourage connectivity to the sewerage system
4. Financially sustainable sewerage system
5. Drains should carry only rainwater and all sewage should be carried through
sewers from source to STP
6. Industrial waste to be primary treated before discharge to sewers
7. Commercial places, parks and public places to have well maintained pay toilets.
Existing Scenario
As per the BMC reports, 550T/day of solid waste is generated in the urban
area. However, the exact quantity and characteristic of waste produce in
Bhopal is not ascertain. Most of the waste is collected through transfer
stations.
Existing Scenario
The natural drainage of storm water is reasonably good in Bhopal. In old
Bhopal areas, the drainage is provided mainly by Patra nallah which
receives flow from number of small channels running across the city, like
Gaji Khan ka nallah, Ashoka Garden nallah, Jinsi nallah, Maholi ka nallah,
mahamai Bagh ka nallah, kale Bhairon ka nallah etc. Patra nallah after SWM transfer Stations
collecting the stormwater from these channels discharges it to the
Islamnagar River 18 km from Bhopal, which finally flows in to the Halali Observations and Issues

nallah, which flows for about 8 km before meeting Shahpura Lake. 4. The major nallahs and rivers, which carry storm water discharge, need to be
desilted and cleaned.
Three major streams drain Storm water from Bhopal. On northeastern
side River Halali carries the drainage and on southeastern side River
Kaliasot carries it, both these rivers drain to the river Betwa. In the
southwestern side the drainage is carried by many small nallahs, which
ultimately drain in to Kolar River.
SOLID WASTE
MANAGEMENT
•The capacity of the present system will have to be improved as per the load
requirements, to cover all the areas included in the proposed plan.
• Madhya Pradesh Electricity Board has proposed the scheme of power supply
to meet out the increasing demand of the power in future, the board proposal
for 20- year need is to be developed in two phases.
•A multi circuit tower ring is proposed having two circuits of 132 KV and 32 KV
each. The ring will be linked with the existing 132 KV sub-station.
Existing Power Supply Network
•As per the current pattern of consumption of electricity in Madhya Pradesh •Land requirement for power supply will be as per MP State electricity Board.
during last five years it is found that the rate of consumption is increasing 5 % •The state government of Madhya Pradesh is promoting non conventional and
per annum. Renewable energy sources.
•Accordingly, the estimated consumption for the year 2031 will be 3550 MKWH •There is provision of subsidy for residential and industrial units to encourage use
per annum. of solar energy.
