Water Management

Water Conveyance Thru’ Pipes

Man has been using pipes for water conveyance since ages, As he started settling down and increased his social life, it was necessary to divert water from natural main course to his habitats, The earliest pipes were probably made of bamboo, followed by clay, lead, bronze and wood, Reinforced concrete, asbestos cement, steel, cast iron, ductile iron, prestressed concrete have been progressively used for manufacturing pipes for various applications, These materials have served the mankind for a number of years.

Traditional pipes dominate Indian market!

Safe drinking water delivery & Adequate waste water sanitation We need functional, reliable, and safe infrastructure for the production/

processing and delivery of goods and services, The physical status of these systems and reliability of services they provide directly reflect upon the economic development and public health standards of every community.

Infrastructure Systems : Reliability of Services

There is a growing concern about the condition of the existing traditional systems and two major problems are : Breaks and leakages occurring at alarming

rates in the pipe networks, Incrustations reducing the water carrying capacity of the pipes

Cause

% of Utilities Responding

US : Avg. 700 water mains break per day resulting in 2.2.trillion gallons water loss on annual basis; eating away $ 2.98 Billion revenue every year

Corrosion : Deteriorating Piping Systems

A major contributor to pipe breaks is the action of corrosion Internal corrosion,

External corrosion

The capacity of the pipe does not cater to the desired the flow demands, energy cost hikes up due to increased pumping, water quality degrades and structural strength of the system decreases The increased flow velocity, as a result of reduction of cross sectional area of the pipe, leads to erosion of particles from the inner walls of pipe Neuroscientists believe that manganese, coming out of water supplies from corroded pipes, may lower serotonin in the brain, thus resulting in mood disturbances, and increase in aggressive and impulse behaviour

Corrosion occurs not only in metallic pipes, but also in traditional pipes made using cement/concrete

Corrosion

Cement/concrete based pipes rely upon internal steel reinforcement to provide mechanical strength Such pipes are susceptible to corrosion when aggressive ions, such as chloride, migrate to the steel surface. The corrosion products take up more volume than original steel, causing cracking of the concrete, further accelerating corrosion

Corrosion in Non Metallic Pipes

Other effects include calcium dissolution and increased pH values

Represents loss of revenues for the water utilities and increased costs for consumers; thus a serious problem nationwide These losses increase infiltration of outside water into wastewater treatment plants Also result in cross contamination of otherwise safe potable water with sewerage discharges leaking out from nearby pipes

Second cholera case from Mauli Jagran

Pratibha Chauhan Tribune News Service Chandigarh, July 5 Even after official confirmation of 33 per cent faecal contamination in the drinking water of most of the slum colonies in the city at the time of outbreak of cholera last year, the situation remains the same as no efforts have been made to distance out parallel pipes carrying sewerage and water. Meanwhile, having tested positive for cholera, a 22-year-old woman, Reeta Devi, from Mauli Jagran village has been admitted to the communicable diseases ward at the PGI. Lalita Devi, a resident of Sector 25-D, has been admitted to the PGI with suspected

• cholera. Her stool examination report is awaited, said the Director, Health Services,

Dr C.P. Bansal. A study had been conducted by PGI’s Microbiology department to undertake bacteriological evaluation of drinking water being supplied to the slum colonies, urban sectors and the periphery areas. “It was after collecting over 500 samples between July and October last year that we came to the conclusion that there was an average of 33 per cent faecal contamination in the drinking water, being supplied to most of the slum colonies,” disclosed Prof Meera Sharma, head of Medical Microbiology department at PGI. The study conducted jointly by Prof Sharma and Dr Neelam Taneja, was sanctioned by the UT Science and Technology department to check the quality of the drinking

• water. With the outbreak of water and vector borne diseases like cholera and

dengue becoming an annual feature, the study was conducted with the objective to assess whether the water being supplied was fit for human consumption. At the time of outbreak of cholera in Sector 52, Dadu Majra and Palsora, the then UT Administrator, Lieut Gen J.F.R. Jacob(retd) had directed the MC authorities to relay the parallel running drinking water and sewerage pipes, so that the main source of contamination could be plugged. In fact, a two-member committee comprising of MC Chief Engineer, V.K. Bhardwaj and Chandigarh Housing Board, Chief Engineer, S.K. Jain had been constituted to look into the matter. The MC, on its part had pointed out that a lot of funds would be required to relay the pipes.

500 down with gastroenteritis in Ludhiana

HARPREET KANG TIMES NEWS NETWORK [ THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2004 05:09:53 PM ]

LUDHIANA : A severe outbreak of gastroenteritis and diarrhoea in Hargobindpura few months back has left 500 falling sick. Most affected are the children, considering nearly 200 children have reported sick. The fault surprisingly continues to lie with the Municipal Corporation each time, as people complain about sewerage water getting mixed with the drinking water. Despite the Commissioner, Municipal Corporation, S K Sharma claims in the past two years about spending lakhs of rupees each year on laying down sewerage pipes and getting the old ones repaired, the sewer has failed the Corporation every few months. Dr A S Chawla, District Epidemiologist said both on Tuesday and Wednesday over 200 cases had been reported sick, of which two were serious and admitted to the Civil Hospital. He said a team lead by Senior Medical Officer, Sahnewal, Dr S S Dhir, along with three paediatricians and seven paramedical staff was posted in the area since Tuesday night. Meanwhile, though some Municipal Corporation water tankers are reaching the area, the commissioner himself reached the affected site only on Thursday afternoon, two days after the epidemic first broke out. Minister for Higher Education, Harnam Das Johar visited the area. During his visit he condemned Commissioner’s behaviour, considering he had not visited the site yet. He added that he himself had returned from Pakistan a day before, and yet had rushed to the troubled people, while the concerned officials have been lacking in their duty. Dr Chawla said all the same, the medical team was trying to make the residents aware of the drinking water facility provided through tankers, and that they should abstain from using the tap water.

“Most affected are the children. The fault surprisingly continues to lie with the Municipal Corporation each time, as people complain about sewerage water getting mixed with the drinking water. Despite the Commissioner, Municipal Corporation claims in the past two years about spending lakhs of rupees each year on laying down sewerage pipes and getting the old ones repaired, the sewer has failed the Corporation every few months.”

On an average 2910 MLD of treated water is supplied to the citizens of Mumbai The quality of water is continuously monitored from source to the consumer end Out of the total No. of 57,875 samples collected during the year, 19% were found to be contaminated

Usually contamination complaints aggravate during monsoon During the year, heavy leakages (278 Nos.) and bursts (70 Nos.) were attended on pipelines. The quantity of water saved as a result of these works is > 1150 ML

Corrosion is Pollution

Corrosion is a form of waste that, like all other waste, pollutes our environment. The severe and complex consequences of corrosion often extend far beyond the immediate issue of resource depletion. To replace 1,000 kg of steel requires minimum 140 kg of carbon and most

• f it is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, a key gas in global

warming. The process also releases sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which cause acid rain. In case of metallic pipes : pre heaters operate at about 500° C, scrap melting is done above 1300° C and annealing furnaces require about 850° C

• perating temperatures.

Cost of Corrosion

About 5% of the BMC budget for water supply is reserved for Repairs & maintenance

Rs.

Two main concerns of water utilities are the quality and quantity of water supplied to the customers. Corrosion affects both The cost of breaks resulting due to corrosion, impose substantial financial burdens, year after year The Direct Cost Depends on the material, labour and equipment cost of excavation, the actual repair/replacement and water treatment. The emergency level

• f break and its location influence the cost

The Indirect Cost Temporary disruption or rerouting of traffic creating higher CO2

• emissions. Additional emissions by the equipment used to re-excavate

the damaged pipe, in the manufacture and shipment of replacement pipe

Solution ? ?

An extremely cost effective and technically proven solution – which has been used by many water and sewer utilities to combat the ravages of corrosion and reduce cost – is usage of safe, durable and corrosion free –

Plastics piping system!

Micro irrigation : The Nepal Route

The Government of Nepal (GoN) has prioritized the provision of reliable irrigation water a prerequisite for increasing agricultural productivity, the primary mainstay of 80% of the population and contributing 40% to GDP GoN provides 60% subsidy for the drip kit The Department of Irrigation (DOI) targets 10,000 ha. under non-conventional MI including drip irrigation (DI) during the 10th plan with a budget of NRs. 135 million The GoN's new policy provides provision for establishing a MI unit within the Department of Agriculture (DOA) with a mandate to provide and oversee support to project activity. With DI, increased water use efficiency estimated around 90% as against 20 - 30% efficiency under surface irrigation. In addition, there is no loss of topsoil fertility, also DI has made it possible to farm sloped lands Financial analysis of the pilot project reveals a high internal rate of return (IRR) from the project

India : The Brighter Side

AMC has 5 French Wells having pumps which draw on an average 800,000 gallons of water per hour. MS pipes which were used in these wells, were causing frictional loss as well as less draw of water. AMC replaced 8” MS pipes in one of the wells with 10” PVC pipes. The flow rate increased from 370 cu mtr / hr to 540 cu mtr / hr. Encouraged with this result, AMC decided to replace 8” MS pipes in balance 4 wells with 10” PVC pipes. Result = Saving of 1.7 million kwh of electricity per year, reducing electricity charges by about Rs. 4.5 million.

Thai co takes up pipe-laying job for Kolkata civic body

The Hindu Businessline Kolkata , Oct. 17 WIIK & Hoeglund Public Co. Ltd, Thailand, a subsidiary of KWH Pipes of Finland, counted among the global players in HDPE pipes, has signed a new $3.78-million contract with the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) for a dedicated 5.5-km long pipeline of 1,400 mm and 1,000 mm diameter to be laid from Taratala in South Kolkata. Work on the ADB-funded project is expected to commence from next month. The Thai company is already working on a $2.28-million pipe-relining job for KMC, scheduled for completion soon. The KMC project using HDPE pipes is said to be the first such in India. The on-going project involves fresh laying of a 3.5-km long 1,400 mm O.D. HDPE pipe between Palta and Tallah in North Kolkata for the supply of raw water to the city. The company, depending on the demand for its HDPE pipes, also has plans for setting up a new pipe manufacturing unit in India, most likely in Kolkata. Talks are on with concerned authorities. The company's manufacturing facilities are now in Thailand and Malaysia. Briefing presspersons here on Friday on the new contract, and also the company's future projects for KMC, Mr Subir Bhattacharyya, Director, Asia, KWH, said the on-going job involved rehabilitating an

• ld leaking steel pipeline of 62 inches diameter, which was used for transporting raw water to Kolkata

city from Palta. He said the old pipe had been relined with an HDPE pipe of 1,400 mm diameter without loosing the existing water supply. Such projects, with HDPE pipes, could be completed much faster than with any

• ther conventional pipe, without the fear of water contamination and erosion and also loss in pumping

capacity. Pointing out that the company offered complete piping solutions to build infrastructure for transporting drinking water, waste water etc., especially for the municipal sector, Mr Bhattacharyya said the key objective behind its new foray into the Indian market was for providing the means of transporting water at the lowest cost, considering leakage, life expectancy (of a pipe) and maintenance costs over a long period of time. He clarified that the company had a long history of working with consultants for determining optimum solutions for project for outfall, intake, power plants, submarine pipes etc. HDPE pipes, said to be more flexible and durable compared to the conventional CI or DI pipes, is used in developed countries for water supply, sewerage, drainage and electrical ducting. According to Mr Ingemar Djorklund, Technical Director of KWH, for sewerage, drainage and electrical ducts jobs, the company used novel products such as Double Wall Pipe and Wholite pipes of up to 3 m

• diameter. He said 90 per cent of the water mains in Scandinavian countries used HDPE pipes.

Micro irrigation Projects : AP 2003

MINUTES OF THE FIRST MEETING TASK FORCE ON MICROIRRIGATION HELD AT A.P. BHAVAN, NEW DELHI ON 21ST AUGUST, 2003 The Task Force on Micro irrigation constituted under the Chairmanship of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to suggest the strategies to increase the coverage of area under micro irrigation in the country met on 21.08.2003 at Andhra Pradesh Bhavan, New Delhi. The list of participants is given at Annexure. The meeting commenced with a formal welcome to the Chairman and the Members by Dr. H.P. Singh, Horticulture Commissioner & Member Secretary of the Task Force. The Chairman of Task Force, N. Chandrababu Naidu, honorable Chief Minister traced back the genesis of constitution of Task Force and said that Task Force was constituted based on his discussions with the Hon’ble Prime Minister regarding improving the economic condition

• f the farmers and achieving higher growth rate in
• agriculture. Mr. Naidu had mentioned to the Prime Minister

that efficient water management assumes a great importance and there is a need to promote efficient means

• f irrigation, like drip and sprinkler irrigation. The Prime

Minister requested him to work out the details for promoting the micro irrigation in the country, which he accepted. Mr. Naidu, further mentioned that water is crucial for increasing productivity of crops and all efforts need to be made to use it judiciously for improving the economy of the farmers. The aim should be to achieve an evergreen revolution with integration of post harvest management value addition and

• marketing. Since more than 65% of the Indians are

dependent on agriculture, their purchasing power need to be increased by improving their economic condition. He stressed the need for bringing out a report, which is implementable and practical. He sought the views of the Members to achieve the goal of the TF.

• 1. Micro irrigation provides the most viable option

for economizing water use and improving crop productivity per unit of area as well as time. Hence this technology need to be promoted extensively.

• 2. Presently, only about 0.50 million ha has been

covered under micro irrigation against a potential of 27 million ha.

• 3. The available institutional mechanism in the

form of National Committee on Plasticulture Applications in Horticulture (NCPAH) has been instrumental in operationalzing the GOI Scheme on Plasticulture in general and in popularizing the micro irrigation technology in particular.

• 4. The network of 17 Precision Farming

Development Centres (PFDC) has enabled to develop regionally differentiated technologies on micro irrigation besides imparting training to a large number of farmers and departmental staff.

• 5. An area of about two million ha could be

brought under micro irrigation in the country in the next five years.
