Active Flood Plain Mapping – Defining the “River Space” A river must have ‘adequate space’ to perform its myriad function. The river ‘valley’ and ‘active floodplain’ define that space for the river albeit with different functionality. It is important that the functionality of the river valley and floodplains are recognized and documented properly for a sustainable river management.

Riverbank and River Water Quality Management Plan IMPORTANCE OF rrwqmp Actionable items prescribed in all RRWQMPs, when taken together, constitute the comprehensive list of all projects to be completed in the next 25 years for comprehensive riverbank and river water quality management for all major towns in the Ganga River basin. Once this comprehensive information of all projects to be funded over the next 25 years is available with the NGRBA, DPRs can be invited from ULBs for selected projects in a phased manner. A readily available record of projects completed, ongoing and not yet sanctioned can be kept. The progress of various towns towards completion of works recommended in RRWQMPs will be readily available. Since the quantum of work to be done over the next 25 years is known, yearly funding requirements towards RRWQMP related can be readily computed and a 25 year plan of funding requirements can also be made. Agencies other than NGRBA can also fund works recommended in RRWQMP. In future, even ULBs can initiate some works based on internal accruals or using the PPP model.

Riverbank and River Water Quality Management Plan Work packages For each ‘Actionable Item’ mentioned above, several work packages must be proposed in a phased manner until 2035 for gradual fulfillment of the final objective. The proposed work packages must have sufficient details such that DPRs can be prepared for these work packages by the ULBs as and when funding is available from NGRBA and other agencies.

Guidelines and Recommendations Sewage Treatment – Guidelines and Recommendations General Sewage is a major point source of pollution. The target of “Nirmal Dhara” i.e. unpolluted flow can be achieved if discharge of pollutants in the river channel is completely stopped. Also, sewage can be viewed as a source of water that can be used for various beneficial uses including ground water recharge through surface storage of treated water and/or rain/flood water in an unlined reservoir. This may also help achieving “Aviral Dhara”.

Guidelines and Recommendations Sewage Treatment – Guidelines and Recommendations In order to reduce substantial expenditure on long distance conveyance of sewage as well as treated water for recycling, decentralized treatment of sewage is advisable. As a rule, sewage treatment plant (STP) of greater than 50 MLD should be avoided. All new developments must build in water recycling and zero liquid discharge systems. Fresh water intake should be restricted only to direct human-contact beneficial uses of water. For all other uses properly treated sewage/wastewater should be used wherever sufficient quantity of sewage is available as a source water for such purposes. All new community sanitation systems must adopt recycling of treated water for flushing and completely isolate fecal matter until it is converted into safe and usable organic manure.

Guidelines and Recommendations Sewage Treatment – Guidelines and Recommendations Recommended Treatment Chain

Guidelines and Recommendations Sewage Treatment – Guidelines and Recommendations Stage I Preliminary Treatment: a) Three Stage Screening: - 25 mm bar racks (before pumping) - 12 mm bar racks - 5 mm mesh b) Aerated Grit Chamber if following unit operation is aerobic and Normal Grit Chamber if following unit operation is anaerobic.   Expected effluent quality after preliminary treatment: No floating materials including polythene bags, small pouches, etc. Proper collection and disposal of screening and grit.

Guidelines and Recommendations Sewage Treatment – Guidelines and Recommendations Stage II Primary and/or Secondary Treatment: Many options are available for second stage treatment. These options can be grouped into following three categories. Pond Based Systems or Activated Sludge Process (ASP) and Its Modifications or equivalent systems including but not limited to SBR, UASB followed by ASP, ASP operated on Extended Aeration mode (EA-ASP), ASP with Biological Nutrient Removal (ASP+BNR), and MBBR or MBR   Expected effluent quality after primary and secondary treatment: BOD < 30 mg/L SS < 20 mg/L Nitrified effluent

Guidelines and Recommendations Sewage Treatment – Guidelines and Recommendations Stage III Tertiary Treatment: Coagulation-flocculation-settling followed by filtration and UV disinfection. Expected effluent quality after tertiary treatment: BOD < 10 mg/L SS < 5 mg/L Phosphate < 0.5 mg/L MPN < 100/ 100 mL   Where sewage flows are low and/or land can be spared without compromising on other developmental objectives or agriculture, waste stabilization ponds followed by constructed wetland can be adopted without coagulation-flocculation-settling.

Guidelines and Recommendations Sewage Treatment – Guidelines and Recommendations Cost of Treatment and Land Requirement Treatment Cost (as in 2010) and Corresponding Plant Footprint for various Secondary Treatment Options

Guidelines and Recommendations Sewage Treatment – Guidelines and Recommendations Sludge Management The sludge dewatering should be done using thickener followed by filter press or centrifuge or any other equivalent mechanical device. Sludge drying beds (SDB) should be provided for emergency only. SDBs should be designed only for 15% of the sludge generated from primary and secondary processes. The compressed sludge should be converted into good quality manure using composting and/or vermi-composting processes. Hazardous sludge, if any should be disposed of as per the prevailing regulations.

Guidelines and Recommendations Sewage Treatment – Guidelines and Recommendations Flow Measurement Flow measuring devices should be installed after the Stage I Treatment as well as at the outlet of the sewage treatment plant. These flow devices should be of properly calibrated V notch with arrangements for automatic measurement of head. Additional electronic or other type of flow meters may also be installed. Arrangements should be made for real time display of measured (both current and monthly cumulative) flows at prominent places.

Guidelines and Recommendations Sewage Treatment – Guidelines and Recommendations Bioassay Test 10% of the flow (subjected to maximum 1 MLD) is required to pass through the bioassay pond.

PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE – Sewage Collection, Treatment and Disposal Infrastructure Proposed under GRBP Restoration of “Nirmal” Dhara As stated by the IIT consortium in various forums, it is strongly felt that the restoration of ‘Nirmal’ dhara in all rivers of the Ganga basin will require, among other actions, the following steps concerning sewage collection, treatment and disposal processes. Complete stoppage of the discharge of sewage, either treated or un-treated, from towns into all rivers of the Ganga basin. All sewage must be collected and treated up to tertiary level (treatment guidelines for tertiary treatment specified elsewhere; effluent standards: BOD < 10 mg/L; SS < 5 mg/L; fully nitrified effluent; P < 0.5 mg/L; FC < 100/100 mL) The treated water should be recycled or reused for various purposes, i.e., industrial, irrigation, horticultural, non-contact/non-potable domestic uses, groundwater recharge, etc.

PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE – Sewage Collection, Treatment and Disposal Infrastructure Proposed under GRBP Funding and Implementation Issues: Current Scenario The land for the project was provided by the ULBs/State Governments. The capital cost of the project was provided (as per current practice) by the central and state governments in 70 : 30 ratio. Project DPR was prepared and the project implemented by government agencies like UP Jal Nigam (UPJN). After commissioning, operation and maintenance for a stipulated period, the infrastructure is handed over to ULB. Subsequent operation and maintenance of the infrastructure was the responsibility of the ULB.

PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE – Sewage Collection, Treatment and Disposal Infrastructure Proposed under GRBP Funding and Implementation Issues: Current Scenario -The main deficiencies In many cases, due to the lack of regular maintenance, and lack of allocated funds, the created infrastructure deteriorated at a rapid rate and became non-operational very quickly. The sewage treatment plant capacity was often underutilized, since sewage conveyance and pumping infrastructure was either non-existent or was not functioning properly. Adopted sludge management practices were insufficient for safe and secure management of solid residues arising from sewage treatment operations.

PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE – Sewage Collection, Treatment and Disposal Infrastructure Proposed under GRBP Funding and Implementation Issues: Current Scenario -The main deficiencies Uninterrupted electricity supply was not ensured for the pumping stations and sewage treatment plants, leading to constant disruptions and sub-optimal performance. DG sets provided for operation of pumping stations during power cuts were mostly non-operational. Performance monitoring of the completed projects was not done in an objective and systematic basis, and effective action was not taken to improve the performance of the created infrastructure based on such monitoring. Public participation/involvement in project monitoring was minimal.

PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE – Sewage Collection, Treatment and Disposal Infrastructure Proposed under GRBP Funding and Implementation Issues: Current Scenario -The main deficiencies The net effect is that in most cases, the diversion of sewage from the rivers and treatment and safe disposal of domestic sewage as envisaged during project planning is never realized.

Funding and Implementation Issues: New Paradigm PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE – Sewage Collection, Treatment and Disposal Infrastructure Proposed under GRBP Funding and Implementation Issues: New Paradigm Item Description Funding Item 1: Construction of main sewers, branch sewers, laterals and house connections in urban areas for collection of sewage from individual households. This is primarily a responsibility of the towns and must be funded through internal resources or through help from other sources. Should not be funded from the funds allocated for river cleaning/restoration Item 2: Construction of trunk sewers in urban areas for the conveyance of the sewage to the sewage treatment plant. Funding of the capital expenditure should be through NGRBA and state government (70:30 ratio). Maintenance should be the responsibility of the ULB. Item 3: Construction of intercepting sewers for diverting the flow of small ‘nalas’ into the sewer system. Item 4: Construction of ‘Nala’ tapping works for diverting discharges of large drains to the sewer system or directly to sewage treatment plants. Table Continued … … …
