Preliminary Master Plan

What to be covered under prefeasibility Study?? • Prerequisites for detailed designs • Things that are necessary for alternate designs • Things that are impacted on financial feasibility • Things that are important for overall master plan development

Geotechnical Investigations • Bore-hole investigations up to 10 m and bed rock • Type of soil, depth up to which each layer occurs, bearing capacity in terms of SPT nos, permeability coefficients • Where to do – Tsunami structure, Two storey hotel, water holes, erodable areas etc.

• Mobilization only for once • Important for EIA

Water Supply • Estimation of water demand • Identification of source of supply – Pumping and recovery tests

• Checking of water quality of such sources • Reliability of such sources throughout the year • Treatment facilities required – Decentralized vs centralized

• locations • Estimation of storage capacities and method of storages • Estimation of flow through distribution mains and branches • Sizing of pipes, types of pipes • Pumping arrangements for different areas • Maintenance program

Rainwater Harvesting • Estimation of water quantity based on rainfall • Storage mechanisms, types, unit processes • Checking of water quality of storage • Reliability of such sources throughout the year • Treatment facilities required • Sizing of pipes, types of pipes • Maintenance program

Wastewater Treatment • Estimation of wastewater quantity – gray, black and others • Identification of sources of wastewater • Estimation of water quality parameters – BOD, COD, SS oil and grease etc, • Generation of wastewater –average, maximum demand • Treatment facilities required – Decentralized vs centralized
