Dum Dum holds an unique position in terms of

Kolkata's demographical map. Dum Dum is both a
residential area as well as a prime commercial zone.
Most of the residential dwellings in Dum Dum are
midsized apartments-which is an indicator of the
steadily upward realty demand curve of the
area. The trend of apartment building in Dum Dum
gathered steam only in the late 1990's. The demand
reflects the rising disposable income of the native
middle class.The strategic position of Dum Dum has
also helped its ascent from just a city suburb to a
desirable chunk of real estate. Nager Bazar,
Motijheel, Ghughu Danga, Private Road, Chatakal,
Jawpur, Rajbari and Lal Bagan .PurbaSinthee. Bangur

of West Bengal. The area comes under the
jurisdiction of South Dum Dum Municipality.

PRESENT POPULATION AND POPULATION PROJECTION-2041:

Population projection and Infrastructure demand assessment has been an integral part of various feasibility studies, detailed project reports
and master plans being prepared for water supply projects in the urban sector. In the past it had 25 wards (Key Map of South Dum Dum
Municipality, 1986).But with the increasing rate of urbanization, the area of this municipality has extended with the addition of adjoining 10
more wards. Historically the process of urbanization evolves after the industrial revolution characterized by mass production. Thus it
contributed to the expansion of infrastructure, transport and communication network which acted as a magnet to the rural population and
they migrated to the urban centers .One of the most important causes of choosing this area is that urbanization has a severe impact on this
area leading to large scale conversion of water bodies and open spaces to residential and commercial areas due to the increasing population
pressure and increasing demand for infrastructure, goods and services.

METHOD ADOPTED FORECASTING POPULATION- 2041

LOGISTIC METHOD
This method presupposes that the population trend will be S-Shaped which
combines a geometric growth rate at low population with a declining growth
rate as the city approaches limiting population. The logistic projection can be
based on the equation :
P = P sat
1 + e a+bDt
where, P sat is the saturation population of the community, a and b are
constants and Dt is the period beyond base year corresponding to Po. Psat, a
and b can be determined from three consecutive census populations and using
the following equation:
Psat = 2 Po P1 P2 - P12 (Po + P 2)
PoP2 - P12

Therefore the area has reached its carrying capacity.

1.WATER SUPPLY AND TREATMENT

MURP-102, IIEST SHIBPUR

Available water resources:

People of South Dumdum are dependent on both SURFACE AND GROUND WATER SOURCES,

which mainly comes from HOOGLY RIVER.

260 MGD WTP at North Palta- Indira Gandhi Water Treatment Plant provides treated water to Dumdum and neighboring
areas of Kolkata Metropolitan, through Baranagar- Noapara Pumping Station and Laketown pumping station for areas of
Bangur and Laketown.

*CPHEEO Norms Norms for water supply suggested by the Central Public Health and

Environmental Engineering Organisation (CPHEEO) while designing water supply

schemes

2.1.Assessment of the Need of Water supply for 2041 of South Dumdum

OBSERVATIONS
These tables represents the average daily water supply in the
different municipalities in the last decades (2001-11).
The maximum average community daily water demand is found in
South Dum Dum Municipality in both the years 2001 and 2011
because this municipality contains a huge number of population.

Water Quantity Estimation

The quantity of water required for municipal uses for which
water supply scheme has to be designed requires following data
1. Water consumption rate(Per Capita Demand in liters per day
per head)
2. Population to be served.
Quantity = Per capita demand * Population 2011
Source: nptel.ac.in

REASONS
1.The demand for water is at a rate of 135 lpcd (benchmark) whereas
the present supply is a rate of 101 lpcd.
2. The problem - most severe in the eight wards from Dum Dum
Metro station to Nagerbazaar - might have been solved had Trinamul
agreed to levy water tax, which would have been lower
than the money the residents pay to buy water. Mamata Banerjee's
party has steadfastly refused to impose water tax anywhere in the
state.
A senior CMC engineer said the revenue from water tax could be
spent on improving the water supply network and other
infrastructure. "The water tax, apart from helping upgrade
the infrastructure, will stop rampant wastage of water. You only care
for something if you pay for it," he said.

A COMBINED SEWERAGE SYSTEM runs in the areas of
Kamarhati, Baranagar, North Dumdum, South Dumdum,
Dumdum as well as adjoining area of Kolkata Municipal
Corporation.
BAGJOLA KHAL is the main artery to drain out storm water runoff
and and waste water from no of municipalities e.g Panihati ( a
small part ),Kamarhati, Baranagar, North Dumdum, South
Dumdum, Dumdum as well as adjoining area of Kolkata Municipal
Corporation.
The Upper Bagjola khal is of 9.235 km

Major issues Of Bagjola Drainage pit.

.All the areas covered by Upper Bagjola Basins are thickly populated, inadequate and in and around the khal boundary due to
encroachment problem.
Land use pattern of the basin area is immensely changed during the last two decades. The unplanned growth of the area changed the
land use pattern which directly affects the drainage facility of the basin.
The low pockets and ditches which accumulates the rainwater at past were captured and filled up for residential purpose. So, at
present the entire rain water have to be drained out directly by the Bagjola khal without any scope of detention which in turn exceeds
the carrying capacity
The ditches of either side of VIP Road are now stretches of flat land and the effects are already felt. Local residents fear that unless
rampant land fill is stopped immediately and the status quo is not restored along the VIP road stretch, it can accelerate the situation
further grave and may bring water logging, even at the moderate rainfall during the monsoon period .

MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE GENERATION AND MANAGEMENT.

PRESENT SCENARIO. -Dumping of solid waste is carried out at Mathkol and Dakshindari. The present dumping ground is located at ward
no.3. Waste is carried to this site in uncovered vehicles. This site receives wastes from Buranagar, Dum Dum, South Dum Dum municipalities.
In the absence of segregation of solid waste at source, plastic waste and bio-medical waste is a matter of great concern. So segregation of
solid waste at Source and use of better and modern equipments are proposed. The O&M cost of disposal of solid waste therefore turns out to be

OVERALL INFERENCES

Only limited areas of this urban local body have a combined sewerage system such as Lake Town, Bangur. A sewerage treatment
plant is available at Bangur where the sewerage of Baranagar municipality and particularly Kolkata Municipal Corporation are
treated. Construction of underground drainage and sewerage system integrating it with the existing one is proposed.

Bagjola Khal being the major drainage canal in the ULB needs urgent desilting and renovation in order to reduce incidents of
water logging and subsequent flood. Dredging of Bagjola Khal and its attributes has therefore been proposed on urgent basis.

Dumping of solid waste is carried out at Mathkol and Dakshindari. The present dumping ground is located at ward no.3. Waste is
carried to this site in uncovered vehicles. This site receives wastes from Buranagar, Dum Dum, South Dum Dum municipalities. In
the absence of segregation of solid waste at source, plastic waste and bio-medical waste is a matter of great concern. So
segregation of solid waste at Source and use of better and modern equipments are proposed.

In order to strengthen the road infrastructure, new flyovers and underpasses are needed, some of which could be taken up in
joint venture with KMDA. Provision for such improvements has been made in Project Proposals.

Conciousness of common people and active participation is required.
