ANNEXURE 2

TERMS OF REFERENCE (ToR)

1. Objectives of the Proposed Study

The key objectives of the study are to:

i. identify and assess the environmental issues related to the water supply andsanitation sector (with a focus on water quantity, water quality, supply sourcesustainability and environmental sanitation) through a sector level analysis,and

ii. prepare an Environmental Management Framework (EMF) includingenvironmental management and monitoring plan and environmental codes ofpractice to adequately address these issues and enhance the positiveenvironmental impacts of the various tasks and activities under the proposedproject.

The list of tasks to be accomplished is detailed in the following section on the scopeof the proposed study.

2. Scope of the Study

The following are the specific tasks that the Consultant is expected to perform as apart of the proposed study:

i. Undertake water supply and sanitation sector analyses, including anassessment of the availability of water resources (surface and ground) for safedrinking water supply, including the current utilization levels. This assessmentshould include all the habitations in the state, and would be based on the 2003Habitation Survey data compiled by the DWSS-GoP (supplemented by otherdata as available and required). Specific attention should be paid to issue ofslippage of Fully-Covered (FC) villages to Partially-Covered (PC) villages,and the impacts of population growth, declining ground-water tables anddiscontinuous canal water supplies on the existing rural water supply andsanitation schemes. The sector analyses should cover the entire state, withattention to the significant variations in the geological conditions, wateravailability, water supply sources, water quality conditions, groundwaterresources and their relative level of extraction, drainage, environmentalsanitation, and capacity of panchayats in operation and maintenance of ruralwater supply schemes. The hilly "kandi" areas should be covered along withthe plains.

ii. Examine the water quality situation with regards to rural water supply.Groundwater quality in terms of nitrates, salinity, fluoride, pesticides andheavy metals pollution as well as biological contamination should be assessed.Canal water quality should be similarly assessed in terms of the applicableterms. The analysis should take account of factors like the location of the areaswith respect to the canal reaches and the varying groundwater quality in the

Page 2 of 71

Punjab Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project F--DBACKIPunjab TURNKE ENGINEERFinal Report on Sector Environmental Assessment MwRNk V-t.- E-p

aquifers at different depths. The analysis should address the issue of non-pointsources pollution and its impact on rural drinking water supply sources inPunjab. In addition to the water quality of the supply source, the quality atdelivery (in the household) should be assessed wherever possible. Theassessment should cover all 17 districts of the state, with attention to thesignificant variations within the districts. The analysis should developquantitative results in terms of the geographical extent and the severity of thewater quality issues.

iii. Examine the implications of the widespread prevalence of household cattleaffecting water supply demand, water quality and environmental sanitation.

iv. Assess the current programs for disinfecting and treatment of drinking watersupplies. Survey the available technologies and develop recommendations forenhancing the effectiveness of treatment and disinfection of drinking watersupply in Punjab, with specific attention to innovative low-cost options.

v. Compile information on the currently existing water quality monitoringprograms, conducted by the DWSS and other agencies. Assess adequacy ofcurrent water quality monitoring programs and institutional capacity in thestate, and provide recommendations for enhancing these as well asdisseminating water quality information to the rural public.

vi. Assess household sanitation issues, including personal hygiene, health, andhousehold environment and sanitation issues. Collect information on majordiseases and their causes in the state, and the experience regarding publichealth outcomes of rural water supply and sanitation schemes. Developrecommendations in consultation with the Department for design of projectpublic health interventions, including assessment of the need for personalhealth and hygiene programs.

vii. Assess environmental sanitation issues in the rural areas of the state, includingcoverage of sullage drains network, remodeling of ponds for treatment andpavement of intemal village roads after relaying of water pipes.

viii. Review the existing drinking water and sanitation sector policies andlegislation, assess their adequacy in addressing the environmental issues in thecurrent situation in the state; identify the gaps and develop recommendationsfor appropriate measures to address the needs. Review and assess the existingstate institutions in the drinking water and sanitation sector

ix. Develop altemative scenarios for addressing and integrating the environmentalaspects in the design of the proposed project, and conduct a comparativeanalysis to identify the preferred altemative.

x. Design a simple and effective Environmental Management Framework (EMF)to address the identified environmental concems, and to enhance theenvironmental and health benefits. The EMF should comprehensively addressthe issues of water supply and quality, source sustainability, hygiene andhousehold and environmental sanitation. The design of the EMF shouldinclude implementation arrangements for environmental aspects, including adesign of procedures, delineation of roles and responsibilities, and institutionalstructure, along with the capacity building and staffing requirements.

xi. Develop technical guidelines for use by the communities and project staff foridentifying and adequately addressing the identified environmental issues.These guidelines will be included in the technical manuals to be prepared bythe project implementing agency, and may be based on the guidelines already

Page 3 of 71

Punjab Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project FH=DBACKEPunjab TURNK ENGINEERSFinal Report on Sector Environmental Assessmqnt M-b--Fdb*d V Grwo -p

available with the DWSS-GoP and other agencies. Suggested subjects of thesetechnical guidelines include: design of drinking water supply and distributionsystems; measures to harness surface run-off and enhance aquifer recharge;source sustainability, including safeguard measures for distribution networks;water quality management, including pollution prevention and treatmentoptions; safe sanitation technology options, including safe sanitation designsfor simple pits, twin pits, septic tanks, etc; safe sullage/sewage disposal,including design of drains, safe disposal into soak pits, leach pits or treatmentponds; and safe solid waste management.

These guidelines need to be prepared taking into account the variations in thelocal soil characteristics, hydrogeology, sources of and proximity to watersources etc. The water supply and sanitation guidelines prepared by variousdevelopment agencies may also be adapted.

xii. Prepare environmental performance indicators, along with the methodologyand institutional arrangements, for monitoring the key environmental issues(duly interfaced with the overall project indicators).

The study will cover the entire state of Punjab, and will rely primarily on secondarysources of data from various government departments, agencies and institutions.These will be supplemented by field visits, surveys and public consultations, whichwill be conducted in 40 villages selected from 8 districts of the state. The list of thesevillages has been finalized by the DWSS-GoP, to ensure that it constitutes arepresentative sample cross the RWSS sector, in terms of the range of geologicalconditions, water availability/scarcity, water supply sources, water quality conditions,groundwater resources, sanitation coverage, and capacity of panchayats in operationand maintenance of rural water supply schemes. The Consultant will undertake fieldvisits and conduct public consultations in these selected villages, with the objective ofidentifying the existing environmental issues pertaining to water supply and sanitation(at both village and household level), corroborating the secondary data, and ensuringthe feasibility of the measures proposed by the study to address the issues. Views ofthe project target groups and local NGOs will be sought and taken into accountthrough these public consultations, which will be conducted in two rounds: foridentifying the salient issues, and for field-testing the proposed EMF. The publicconsultations shall be preceded by IEC activities (to be conducted by consultant), andthe participation of economically/socially weaker sections as well as theinformed/knowledgeable public and opinion leaders shall be actively sought. Theconsultant shall maintain and submit the full record of the public consultations.

DWSS-GoP is currently undertaking an assessment of water quality in these 40villages, whereby the quality of the water available in the household will be assessedfor 20 households selected from each village. The quality will be assessed in terms ofthe standard physical, chemical and bacteriological water quality parameters, andsupplemented by other tests (like pesticides and heavy metals concentrations) wherewarranted. DWSS staff is currently conducting the pre-monsoon water qualitysampling, and will also conduct a similar assessment in the post-monsoon season. Thewater quality testing will be performed at DWSS laboratories, and the results will beprovided to the Consultant for incorporation in the Environmental Assessment report.

RURAL WATER SUPPLY INITIATIVES IN THE STATE

Various programmes implemented by the Public Health Department as well as byDepartment of Rural Development and Panchayats in rural areas are as under:

District Level Schemes

1. Minimum Needs Program (MNP)

A provision of Rs. 600.00 lacs has been made in the annual plan for the year 2002-2003 under Minimum Needs Program (MNP) with which it would be possible tocover 165 Not Covered villages.

2. Augmentation Rural Water Supply Schemes Kandi Area

Water Supply level in 850 villages falling in kandi area of the State, which werecovered with piped water supply more than 20 years ago has reduced from thestandard norm of 40 Ipcd. In order to ensure water supply as per Government of Indianorms i.e. @ Ipcd from the old rural water supply schemes in Kandi Area, there isurgent need to augment Water Supply Schemes in all affected villages. Since itsinception in 1993-1994, till date, 175 Rural Water Supply Schemes covenrng 317villages have already been augmented under this program. A provision of 200.00 lacshas been made for the year 2002-2003 with which it would be possible to augmentanother 64 villages. During 2001-2002 also a provision of Rs. 200.00 lacs was made.

3. Augmentation of Rural Water Supply Schemes other than Kandi Area

The Public Health Department has identified 3123 number of villages, where servicelevel has gone below 40 Ipcd and which have come into the category of PartiallyCovered (PC) habitations. Out of this 850 villages fall in Kandi belt and remaining2273 villages fall in areas other than Kandi areas of the state. Hence, augmentation ofexisting schemes has been taken up. Till date, 384 villages in Kandi area and 293villages in other areas have already been augmented under this programme since itsinception.

4. Providing water supply to villages having population more than 5000 persons

Rural water supply schemes are being executed to provide potable water to problemvillages. However, there are many non-problem villages, which due to their nearnessto the main roads/towns and development of rural industry has grown in populationranging from 5000 to 15000. These villages do not have notified area committees,which can generate resources and provide basic services. The panchayats too do nothave the requisite resources to provide necessary civic amenities relating to drinkingwater and suitable disposal facilities. The environment in such villages is fastdeteriorating and there is an ever-increasing danger to the health of the people living

Page 20 of 71

Punjab Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project FEEDBACKCTURNKEY ENGINEER

Final Report on Sector Environmental Assessment TURNKE EG- S,

in such areas. In view of above, a scheme for the implementation of rural watersupply has been taken up. The scheme has been commissioned in 39 such villagesupto 31.03.2004.

5. Augmentation of Water Supply in southern districts of Punjab

The underground water in large areas in southern districts of Punjab especiallyBathinda, Mansa, Faridkot and Ferozepur districts contains excessive fluorides andhigh concentration of salts, which render the underground water unfit for potable use.Hence drinking water supply scheme in these areas is based on canal water. This,however, contains high suspended solids. The Public Works Department with thehelp of Republic of Uruguay, has installed a portable treatment plant at TalwandiSabo. This is a small sized plant and favoured by the Department over theconventional water treatment plants (requiring 4-5 acres of land) as it requires only50 sq m area. The department proposes to install more such plants in the state in thecoming years.

6. Prime Minister Gramodaya Yojana (PMGY) Rural Drinking Water Supply

Government of India, in year 2000-2001, have introduced a new scheme in the formof Prime Minister's Gramodaya Yojana (PMGY) in order to expedite the provision ofSafe Drinking Water Supply to all habitations. The PMGY envisages allocations ofAdditional Central Assistance (ACA) to States and UTs for selected basic minimumservices. ACA received under PMGY schemes contains 30% as grant fromGovernment of India and 70% loan to the State Government.

During 2002-03 an allocation of Rs. 1000.00 lacs has been made for the completion ofwork in on going 227 villages in the districts of Patiala, Ropar, Fatehgarh Sahib,Sangrur, Ludhiana, Ferozepur, Gurdaspur and Amritsar.

7. NABARD Projects for sanitation improvement

To accelerate the provision of sanitation in villages, the state government is providingfunds through Department of Rural Development and Panchayats from the fundsallocated by 2nd Finance Commission, Punjab. The projects are being carried out in28 villages in districts Patiala, Fatehgarh Sahib; Ropar, Gurdaspur, Jalandhar,Bathinda and Ferozpur. A provision of Rs. 50 million has also been made forsewerage schemes in villages during 2004-05 with NABARD assistance.

8. CAPART Project

A project for low cost sanitation (through dry pit latrines and soak pits) in rural areaswas initiated in district Patiala with financial support of CAPART. This scheme,however, did not find favour amongst the beneficiaries (as they preferred water sealpour flush units instead of dry pit units) and was discontinued.

Page 21 of 71

Punjab Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project F--DBACKCTURNKEY ENGINEERSFinal Report on Sector Environmental Assessment MURdke NCER

Centrally sponsored schemes (Rural Water Supply)

1. Accelerated Rural Water Supply Program

Taking into account the magnitude of the problem and to accelerate the pace ofcoverage of problem villages, the Central Government introduced the AcceleratedRural Water Supply Program (ARWSP) in 1972-73 to assist the State and UnionTerritories with 100% grant -in-aid to implement the schemes in such villages. It isproposed to cover 696 ( Not covered habitations), 130 other habitations, underARWSP and cover 150 RWS Schools with Rural Water Supply Schemes underARWSP during 2002-03 at an estimated cost of Rs. 8,500 lacs.

2. Sector Reforms Project

Government of India introduced a new scheme in the year 1999-2000 toinstitutionalize community based Rural Water Supply Program by actually involvinglocal community. The project has been named as Sector Reforms Project toimplement the reforms process and to test check the project concepts. All over thecountry 63 districts have been brought under this project. Three districts of Punajabstate, namely Bathinda, Moga and Muktsar were brought under SectorReform Project. As per funding pattern of the Project, Government of Inidia willprovide 90 % of the funds whereas remaining 10 % will be contributed by the localcommunity for providing the water supply scheme at a water allowance of 55 Ipcdafter the completion of schemes, 100% Operation and Maintenance cost would beborne by the community. If the service level is to be enhanced to 70 lpcd, thebeneficiary share contribution will be 12.5% and for 100 lped, it will be 15%.

Issues Concerning Existing Programmes

The efforts to meet the water supply & sanitation needs of villages in Punjab haveresulted in good coverage to the extent of funds allocated. However, there are anumber of factors that need to be addressed concerning the continuation of theexisting programmes:

* The financial resources available for the programmes are not sufficient;

* Many of the installed water systems have been in place for over 15 years resultingin low pressure and water supply below designed capacities, thus, requiring majorreplacement / augmentation programmes. Moreover, population growth hasexceeded village boundaries requiring additional pipelines to cover these areas.

* Although 250 to 300 new villages are provided water facilities each year,approximately 4002 villages (2938 NC and 1064 where work is in progress) stillhave not received piped water systems; and 6864 need upgradation due todepletion of service level.

* The number of personnel required for operation and maintenance of Rural WaterSupply Schemes increases every year due to increase in number of rural watersupply schemes.

Page 22 of 71

Punjab Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project F==DBACK(TUTRNKEY ENGINEERS

Final Report on Sector Environmental Assessment .

* Increase in budget for annual maintenance, repairs and replacement of equipment,power and chemicals, as existing provisions are insufficient to provide service atadequate level.

* With each passing year, greater numbers of households are demandingindependent water connections but the same cannot be provided on technicalconsiderations, because existing schemes have been designed with a service levelof 40 lpcd only.

* There is no provision for catering to the drinking water demand of the cattlepopulation.

* Routine programmes funding is not expected to increase substantially, so theaverage yearly number of villages receiving water is expected to remain the same;unless some externally assisted funding is arranged.

To

The Chief Engineer (South). Punjab,and Team Leader,Project Management Unit,World Bank Project,Department of Water Supply & Sanitation,Phase-2, Mohali.

Sub: Punjab Rural Water Supply & Sanitation Project (World Bank Assisted): SectorEnvironment Assessment Study.

On the subject matter, with reference to your telephonic talk and discussions held

with the World Bank Team and members of your office, the following comments in

respect to ground water situation in Punjab are given:

1. All Punjab Rivers finally join Indus River, which is flowing through Pakistan

before falling into the sea. The surface water flow shows the general ground

-profile slope,owards Pakistan.

2. Similarly, the shallow ground water gradient is towards south-western Punjab.

3. Punjab, in general having leaky deep aquifers, pumping from the deeper

aquifers affects the shailow aquifers. As such, the gradient of the deeper

aquifer is also towards the south-west.

4. The maximum depth of tubewells proposed is 200 m. and it has been

observed that the cone of depression has the maximum radius of 300 m. As

such, the tubewells constructed one km. away from the border are likely to

have no affect on the ground water beyond intemational boundary.

5. The proposed project envisages pumping periods for rural water supply

schemes ranging from 6-8 hours at optimally low rate of discharge, which will

allow sufficient recovery time and restrict the influence of cone of depression.

From the above, it is concluded that the general gradients being towards

Pakistan, the extraction of proposed quantities of ground water from the upper gradient

areas will not affect the lower gradient areas. As such, the neighboring countries will

not be affected by the small quantum of water being proposed to be draV under the

Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project.

ANNEXURE 17

Report on - IMPACT OF PUMPING OF GROUND WATER BYDEEP TUBEWELLS OF DWSS ON THE FLOW OF GROUNDWATER ACROSS INTERNATIONAL BORDER, by M.C.Jindal,2006

The deep aquifers of Punjab are regionally extensive. The water in the deep aquifersis under dynamic confined and leaky conditions. The piezometric surface of thisaquifer group shows a gradient from the recharge zone in the north and northeast tosouth and southwest. In addition a large part of the international boundary of Punjabis along perennial rivers like Ravi and Sutluj. These rivers are major drainages andhave great influences on water resources in their close vicinity. Generally these arebarriers to ground water flow and incase of heavy pumping replenish the resource byvertical leakage.

When a tubewell penetrating an extensive confined aquifer is pumped at a constantrate a cone of depression is created around the well the shape of which depends on therate of discharge and the period of pumping. The influence of the discharge extendsoutwards with time. The rate of decline of water level in the well as well expansion ofthe cone decreases continuously as the area of influence expands.

The area of influence in general is circular in shape but in sloping piezometric surfaceas in Punjab it is distorted and is egg shaped. The extension of the area of influence onthe down gradient side is comparatively small. A perusal of the figure-I shows thatthe distortion of the natural flow lines due to pumpage is affected to a small distancebeyond which they again follow the original pattern. This allows the ground water toflow in the aquifer at the same rate as earlier.

After some hours of pumping, deepening and expansion of the cone during shortintervals of pumping if hardly discernable. As Punjab aquifers are semi confined innature, leakage within short period of pumping leakage occurs through overlying andunderlying fonnations to equal the pumping rate resulting in stabilization of cone ofinfluence.

Many scientists have worked out the value of radius of cone of depression. SlichterC.S. gives it a value of 150 m while Tolman C.F. puts it at around 300 m( WaterSupply Engineering -p-1 84). In Punjab the radius of influence is estimated to be lessthan 300 m if pumping continues for a period beyond 24 hours. In most cases, thetubewells are suggested to be spaced around 300 m apart for minimal interference.

In the villages that are close to the international border, the following features shall besufficient to safe guard and maintain uninterrupted ground water flow across theborder.

1. The period of pumping of each well shall be periodic (6-8 hours) allowingsufficient time to recoup and limit the spread of the cone of depression and areaof influence.

Page 49 of 71

Punjab Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project FEEDBACKCTURNKEY ENGINEERSFinal Report on Sector Environmental Assessment M--.dk V..- G-P.

2. The rate of pumping shall be small resulting in smaller cones of depression.

3. The leaky nature of aquifers shall help in stabilization of the cone of depressionafter a short period of pumping

4. The spacing of tubewells along the border is spaced a few kilometers apart(villages are few 2 - 3 km apart). Thus, the gradient and flow directions of thepiezometric surface shall not get altered to cause reduction of ground flowacross the border.

5. One tubewell in a village located 1000 m from the border shall not have radiusof influence to draw water from the area across the border.

WATER QUALITY SURVEILLANCE

Water Quality Surveillance Programme

Objective:

i. To ascertain the quality of water in various rural water supply schemes(Tubewells or canal based) as well as in the distribution network.

ii. To examine physico-chemical and bacteriological quality to establishwhether the drinking water is fit for human consumption and meets thestandards as laid down in IS - 10500: 1991.

Location for sampling:

Selection of location for sampling should indicate true representative samples.

i. Public Stand Postsii. Selected consumer locations at randomiii. In addition to above, raw water source and treated water should also be

analyzed in case of canal based water supply schemes.

Type of sampling:

Generally, for drinking water quality monitoring, grab samples should bepreferred.

Frequency of sampling:

Mainly depends on population served, size, source and type of the scheme.

ii. Properly labelled sampling bottles to be used to avoid any error.iii. No significant change in samples between time of collection and

conducting water analysis and samples should be dispatched to labunder iced conditions as soon as practicable.

iv. Samples should be examined within 24 hours after collection.v. De-chlorination is prerequisite for sampling for bacteriological

examination.vi. No contamination should take place while collecting the sample prior

to examination especially for bacteriological tests. For taking sampleof water from a tap on distribution system, allow the water to run for 4to 5 minutes to allow cleaning of service pipe.

Quantity of sample

i. For physical and chemical examination, two liters of samples incolourless or pale green bottles.

ii. For bacteriological examination 250 ml sterilized glass bottlesprovided with ground glass stopper.

Desired Quality of drinking water

Quality of drinking water should meet with the standards as prescribed in IS-10500:1991.

Status of Rural Water Quality Surveillance and Laboratory Infrastructure

In an endeavor to supply clean and potable drinking water, the water to besupplied is tested at two stages.

1. Firstly, at the time of development of source to ascertain if the sourcewould yield water within safe chemical-content limits.

2. Secondly after commissioning of the water supply schemes, to monitor anychange in quality of the water supply source over the years.

3. Water samples, apart from the source, are also taken from different pointsin the distribution system at consumer ends and tested in the Laboratories;Biological testing is also done to check any biological contamination ofwater.

4. A canal based water supply schemes, where water is usually highly turbid,quality of raw water is daily tested to determine the dose of Alum andquality of water supply is also tested daily before its pumping into thedistribution system.

For proper quality monitoring & surveillance, a network of Laboratories setupby the Department or other Agencies, where testing of water sampling is doneand analysis reports are sent to the concerned quarters for immediate action forremedial measures required, if any, is as under:-

1. One State level Laboratory named as Trade Waste Effluent Research UnitLaboratory, which was established in 1962 and functioning in the HeadOffice at Patiala.

2. Three District level Laboratories set up at Amritsar, Bathinda andFerozepur.

3. In addition to above, 9 more Laboratories are being set up at Ludhiana,Hoshiarpur, Roopnagar, Jalandhar, Gurdaspur, Nawanshehr, Faridkot,Muktsar and Sangrur, with assistance of Govt. of India.

4. Apart from above, water samples from various schemes are also got testedfrom Punjab Govt. Laboratory, Sector-lI, Chandigarh and ChandigarhAdministration's Water Testing Laboratory, Sector-39, Chandigarh.

The parameters which are tested for drinking water supply are as follows: -

Water Quality Testing for Industrial and Agricultural ChemicalContaminants:

1. In addition to testing for the conventional water qualityparameters, the water quality testing for source selection mustalso include testing for certain common industrial and agriculturalchemical contaminants (viz. common pesticides and heavymetals)

2. In view of the prohibitive cost, the testing for these contaminantswill be carried out on a sample basis, using a scientific and phasedapproach based on an initial sampling of deep groundwater andcanal waters in all districts of the state.

3. For first-year implementation, water quality testing for theseindustrial and agricultural chemical contaminants will beconducted for selected source in the first ten schemes in eachdistrict of the state, and the approach for further testing will becalibrated on the basis of the test results obtained.

4. The sampling study for the presence of these pollutants in deepgroundwater would be integrated as a part of the project-supported initiative on building a database on water quantity andquality of deep aquifers in the state.

Action plan for Implementation of Water Quality Monitoring andSurveillance

Adequately equipped analytical laboratory with competent analysis is animportant and an integral part of any water quality monitoring andsurveillance programme. The analytical determinations of different physical,chemical, biological and bacteriological parameters must be carried out mostefficiently and accurately. However, the laboratory infrastructure needed shallnecessarily depend upon the level of analysis desired, location and othersupport facilities available.

Realizing the need to institutionalize water quality monitoring and surveillancesystem, Government of India in Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Missionhas formulated a implementation plan based on three tier structure or catchmentarea approach where existing resources available with grass root level educationand technical institutions would be utilized. In case of need be, these institutionswould further be strengthened by providing additional financial sources. DWSSis also planning to set-up three tier structure of lab facilities, so as to make thesystem foolproof and also to ensure the public participation.

u Village level: No system of water quality surveillance (WQS) exists at thevillage level. However, water quality monitoring as yet is not the felt need ofthe people as in rural areas they perceive water supply as demand. To makethe WQS programme more effective, DWSS is planning to form communitybased organization i.e. Village Water & Sanitation Committee (VWSC),which would mainly be the representative of various segments ofcommunity living in the village itself. Further, these VWSCs would act as anextension of district/village administration. Under WQS programme, fieldkits for both chemical and bacteriological analysis would be provided at allthe 4000 water supply schemes (including 800 likely to come up in next 4-5years). These field kits would mainly indicate the presence of turbidity, pH,

Page 65 of 71

Punjab Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project F--DBACKCPunjab TURNKE ENGINEERSFinal Report on Sector Environmental Assessment

hardness, chloride, fluoride, iron, residual chlorine and bacteriologicalquality. The field kit will be basically meant for qualitative assessment ofwater and would help to identify unsafe drinking water supply systemimmediately. In case, water is unfit for drinking, samples would be sent fordetailed investigations to the district labs.

z District level: 3 district level labs are already functional, whereas, 9 districtlevel labs will be made functional subject to the availability of funds. Forbalance 5 districts Government of India is being approached. Small portablekit capable of measuring temperature, conductivity, pH and dissolvedoxygen is being provided so to as to carry out on the spot tests, besidesdistrict labs should also have lab equipments, chemicals and glassware.Floor space required for setting up of lab ranges between 80 to 120 sqm.

L State level: One State level water quality testing laboratory is functioning inPublic Health Department Head Office Patiala since 1962. Whereas, DWSShas approved Punjab Pollution Control Board lab at the State level for anyarbitration or reconfirmation of the results.

Further, for facilitating effective water surveillance programme, a mobile watertesting laboratory in each zone i.e. Central, North and South is also beingproposed under the control of DWSS as this would help in identification ofsource of contamination as well as for identifying new potential water sources,besides it would also impart training to village and district level laboratory staff.The mobile laboratory would be fully equipped to carry out on the spot analysisof water and would be equipped with small fridge, hot air oven, water bath andincubator.

Comments of 'Puniab State Council for Science and Technology Chandi2arh' on DraftReport on Environment Assessment Study for PRWSSP

Principal Secretary to Govt. of PunjabDeptt. of Water Supply & SanitationChandigarh

Sub: Environment Assessment Study for Punjab Rural Water Supply & SanitationProject

This has reference to your memo no. 1300 dated 10.7.2006 with regard to the above noted

subject.

PSCST would like to bring to your kind notice the following issues:

* The Department proposes to provide Small Bore Drainage & Sewage Treatment in

100 villages only. However, a much larger coverage is required to address the

problem of sanitation.

* It is proposed to test tube well waters for parameters like TDS, Fluoride, Iron,

Hardness and Chlorides, whereas levels of certain heavy metals like chromium,

nickel, cyanide, etc. (which have been recorded to be very high as per studies carried

out by PSCST) and pesticides also need to be tested. Further, Protocol for regular

water quality testing and control is not annexed to the report.

* Salinity of underground water has been identified as a significant problem in district

Bathinda, Sangrur, Faridkot, Ferozepur, Mansa, Moga & Amritsar. The department

proposes for setting up of 200 RO in five areas to address the problem. Whereas it is

a welcome development, the department needs to provide greater number of RO

plants to address the problem in around 4000 villages.

* Problem of reversal of flow of salt water from high water table areas in south west to

low fresh water table areas in northern districts needs to be addressed as flow of salt

water into fresh water areas could cause serious problems in the state.

* The report does not mention whether deep aquifers in South West in Punjab are also

saline in nature. This warrants special studies.

Page 69 of 71

Punjab Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project FED DAC MK(.PunjabTURNKEY ENGINEERSFinal Report on Sector Environmental Assessment M-F.8bk V., Go.p

* The report mentions the need of creating awareness with regard to safe water

collection, storage and handling practices but no mention is made of issues related to

solid waste, especially cow dung handling.

* Further, the report does not mention technologies which would be adopted for

rehabilitation of village ponds and the mechanism of empowering local communities

for their long term sustainable operation and maintenance.

We suggest that the above issues may be looked into while preparing the Detailed Project

Report.

Comments of 'Additional Director. Ministry of Environment and Forest, Chandigarh'on Draft Report on Environment Assessment Study for PRWSSP

Dear Sh. Manmohan jit Singh ji,

Please refer to your report entitled Punjab Rural Water Supply and Sanitation project puton website on 30.07.2006. It is an excellent report and shall bring a change in the life ofwomen in rural Punjab. My Suggestions/Comments are as follows:

1. Report is silent about selenium being encountered in Navasahar (Para 3/Page 4).

2. Report is silent about chrome and nickel in groundwater in Ludhiana (Para 2/Page 4).

3. Govt.wish to spend money on creating infrastructure. However, the issue of 'safestorage' of water in every household has not been addressed. The families under SC,ST or BPL category may not be able to spend to have wash basin, roof top tank andinternal pipeline, etc. Such families may be provided 100 litres - pvc tank with tap soas to avoid open storage.

4. Punjab is planning to take lead once again in rural water supply on the line of GreenRevolution, White Revolution, etc. Without a thought on recharge. The deep aquiferexploitation may meet the same fate. Shallow aquifer are already exploited andspoiled in Punjab. Please think on recharging of groundwater using 'samlat' land.

5. The cases of 'dengue' will be rising once supply and storage of fresh water isintroduced in villages. The RMP doctors in villages may be trained to identify'dengue' disease and advise the patient to contact district hospital.

6. There is a shortage of qualified and/or trained plumbers in villages in India. Oneperson in 1000 population may be trained for plumbing and day-to-day repairs ofsuch water supply schemes.

7. Data collection on water born diseases under table 2 may be quarterly by Directorateof Health and Family Welfare instead of once in a year.

8. Village level workers and science teachers in High School or Sr. Sec. School may betrained for water testing as task of project.
