10.1 Water Supply
Provision of safe, adequate water is a basic necessity for the healthy living of a community. In this
section, demand of potable water in the New Capital City Area has been dealt with. On the basis of the
total water demand in different design years, identification of the water source, requirement of treatment
plant, and storage reservoirs have been estimated.
Presently, the area is rural with ponds, small reservoirs and canals. It is also dotted with small to very
large water tanks, which are used by the villagers for ablutions, washing cattle and for irrigation. The
Mahanadi Main Canal that runs along the western bank of the river principally feeds the extensive canal
network in the New Capital City region.
The per capita domestic requirements as per norms prescribed by Central Public Health and
Environmental Engineering Organization (CPHEEO), Ministry of Urban Development, and Govt. of
India are as under:
Figures indicated above include requirements of water for commercial, institutional and minor
industries, but exclude unaccounted water generally estimated at 15% of the total demand. In most of
the metro cities in India, the water for the domestic use varies from 135 lpcd (litres per capita per day) to
225 lpcd.
Considering recommendations of CPHEEO Manual for Water Supply, Master Plan for Delhi 2001 and
Raipur Development Plan 2005, the following water supply norms have been adopted for the Naya
Raipur City:
58
Naya Raipur Development Plan - 2031
Institutional/ Industrial and Other areas 45,000 litres per hectare per day
Unaccounted Water 15% of total
Fire fighting demand 1% of total demand
The population forecast for the years 2011, 2021 and 2031 have been shown in the table below:
The canal water or water available from the proposed barrage on the Mahanadi River, after treatment,
will be supplied to the city. The treatment will include screening, sedimentation, filtration, and
59
Naya Raipur Development Plan - 2031
disinfection, the level of treatment depending on quality of available water and permissible drinking
water quality standards as specified by CHPEEO or WHO. Table 10.4 gives capacity of water treatment
at different phases of development.
It is suggested to construct the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in different modules. Based on availability
of water, location of WTP can be arranged in such a way that the cost of distribution system would be
the least. The best location for WTP considering the general topography of the area lies near upstream
side (near Khandwa dam, South Side of Naya Raipur), which has a high elevation. (Refer map 10.1)
The proposed water transmission system (raw as well as treated) is proposed to be operated for 20 hours
in a day. The MBR at WTP is proposed to be of 6 hour capacity where as the sumps at individual
pumping stations are proposed to be of 4 hours duration. The total system basically consists of two
parts:
1. Conveyance of raw water from the source to the proposed water treatment plants:
The raw water is proposed to be conveyed from the source to the proposed WTP through pumping
main, by locating head work and pumping station at suitable location..
2. Water from WTP after proper treatment will be supplied to different zones, for which the following
two systems are required:
As per ascetic and landscape profile of the City it is proposed to use underground storage reservoirs and
from these Under-Ground Reservoirs (UGR), Booster Pumping Stations can supply the water to
distribution network. The concept of providing UGRs and BPS is a recent one and is in use in many
metropolitan cities. The system has some obvious merits over the Over-head Tank (OHT) system as
discussed under:
i. Economical in cost, construction in easy, requires low capital investments as compared to OHT
systems.
ii. Space requirement is less as compared to OHT systems.
iii. Booster pumps can maintain uniform pressure in the distribution system.
iv. Water main need not be designed for excessive residual pressure as compared to OHT system.
v. This system is free of visual obstructions.
vi. These systems are entirely dependent on electricity. In Chhattisgarh has good power
availability.

Naya Raipur Development Plan - 2031
However, the treated water sump in WTP is proposed at higher elevation in order to achieve water
supply to various nodal points (reservoir locations) under gravity, gravity flow to the extent possible.
However, where the minimum terminal pressure can not be met, combined pumping station(s) are
proposed to supply treated water to the area through a pumping network. The diameter of pipe lines
range between 300 mm. to 1500 mm. DI-k9 type pipes are proposed for dia upto 1000 m & MS pipes
are proposed for higher dia.

The water supply network from individual service reservoir is proposed to be a pumping network,
through which water is proposed to be pumped to the area. The system is proposed to be consisting of
storage reservoir, pumping station and pipeline network
The sewage generation is approximately assumed to be 80 % of total net water supply has been
considered out of which water supplied for green areas, washing streets, Horticulture, Fire fighting
would cover the ground water infiltration. Refer to table 10.6 for phase-wise sewage generation in Naya
Raipur.
Considering the topography, the project area is proposed to be divided into two drainage districts,
southern zone & northern zone, each of which is proposed to have an independent sewer network,
pumping station & sewage treatment plant. The overall sewerage system is proposed as follows:
Southern Zone:
This zone is proposed to cater for 60 % of the total sewage generated in the project area; one STP is to
be located at the lowest spot of southern zone. The exact location shall be determined by NRDA after
conducting a feasibility study.
61
Naya Raipur Development Plan - 2031
Northern zone:
This zone is proposed to cater for 40 % of the total sewage generated in the project area, with proposed
STP located in the area marked ‘zone I’as it is the lowest spot in the southern zone. An intermediate
sewage pumping station is proposed in the area marked ‘planning unit II’, which would pump the
sewage of about 50% of the northern zone into the trunk sewer leading to the STP.
The diameter of branch sewers, trunk sewers, interceptiong sewers & outfall range between 450 mm to
1800 mm & the material proposed is RCNPIII. The rising main proposed is of DI-k9 type.
For sewerage system, Sewage Pumping Stations (SPS) are required where depth of excavation go
beyond 6.5 m, based on the Natural contour and investigation made on general topography intermediate
pumping stations are required for efficient and economical considerations.
Table 10.7: Capacities of Sewage Pumping Station required for Sewerage system
Sewage Treatment shall be done through Sewage Treatment Plant. The treatment based on Activated
Sludge Process to be adopted.
Two STPs of total 155 MLD capacity are proposed for Naya Raipur. The STPs shall be developed in
modules in three phases. (Refer table 10.8). One STP shall be located in the north and the other in the
southern zone outside the city boundary. (Refer map 10.2).
The treated effluent shall be utilized in any of the following uses so as to conserve and minimize the
overall water requirement viz., Irrigation, Horticulture, Ground water recharge. Three alternatives for
the disposal of treated effluent are suggested as follows:
62
62 A
Naya Raipur Development Plan - 2031
i. Kulhannala
ii. 50% down stream of Mahanadi Main canal running parallel and in the ridge line and 50% to
Kulhan nala.
iii. Other alternative is to reuse water for irrigation purposes for the downstream area so that net
water requirement for irrigation canal (Mahanadi Main Canal) can be reduced. This is best
possible alternative for efficient use of wastewater.
iv. Sewage after proper treatment and disinfections (not generally used for sewage treatment but
required for effluent discharge Standards and DBU ‘Designated Best Use’ of Mahanadi Main
Canal point of view) can be discharged to Mahanadi Main Canal. The Sewage treatment will be
such that quality of water in Mahanadi Main Canal and treated sewage may not differ so much.
In this case, a Pumping Station will be required to pump the treated sewage to Mahanadi Main
Canal at suitable location to be decided after detail investigations.
Storm runoff is that portion of precipitation, which drains over ground surface. Estimation of such run
off reaching storm water drainage system is therefore dependant on intensity and duration of
precipitation, which again depends upon status of development of the area, soil and topographical
characteristics and time required to reach the disposal points from the farthest points.
Drains are generally aligned along the valley lines between ridges. Only when natural drainage is not
possible, drains are taken across the valley. The curves developed on rainfall intensity versus time of
concentration showing 2-year frequency, 5-year frequency 10 year frequency and 50 year frequency in
the new capital is shown in Fig 10.1.
Fig 10.1: Rainfall intensity Vs Time of Concentration Curve for the New Capital City of Chhattisgarh
(Based on IMD Data)
In case any embankment along the river is found necessary, the same may have to be designed to be safe
against 100 yrs frequency flood to protect urbanized areas. The standard charts for rainfall intensity vs.
time of concentration have been prepared using IMD for Raipur region, which can be used for detail
planning for storm water drainage.
63
Naya Raipur Development Plan - 2031
Generally, the main issues on Storm Water drainage of this region are:
i. Inadequate provision of storm water drainage system.
ii. Lack of maintenance of existing drains and nallahs etc.
iii. Development process not compatible with drainage pattern.
The project area is traversed by four major streams thereby dividing the entire area into four catchment
zones. All these streams are proposed to be preserved by carrying out rehabilitation/ improvements etc.
All the proposed road side drains are proposed to convey the run off generated from the corresponding
road and ultimately discharge the same into the corresponding nallahs / streams.
Hence the proposed storm water drainage system for project area consists basically of two systems i.e.
i. Construction of Road side drains,
ii. Improvement or rehabilitation of existing Natural streams channels /nallahs.

iii. Prepare and adopt erosion and sediment control guidelines of the region.
Special emphasis is to be given to rainwater harvesting, in urban areas. Appropriate methods for
recharging the ground water should be considered and adopted. Roof top rainwater harvesting at the
individual as well as community level shall also be considered. Rain water storage, into dug up or
natural lakes/ depressions, from the storm water drainage system shall be proposed, which will also help
in environmental improvement as well as recreational uses.
The principle of rainwater harvesting is to conserve and use precipitation in the same area where it
occurs for greater ground water recharge and later use. The methods are site specific and may depend
upon local conditions like check dams, roof top collection, aquifers recharge, storage in soil profile,
creation of small basins in rural areas, contour binding, percolation tanks etc. due to urbanization in
cities, the paved / impervious areas get increased resulting in reduced ground water recharge. Fig 10.2
shows common methods of Rainwater harvesting, which can be used in Naya Raipur. Rain Water
Harvesting is mandatory at individual development level.
i. Recharge Pits for recharging the aquifers. These are generally 1 m wide and 2 to 3 m deep back
filled with boulders, gravels and coarse sand.
ii. Trenches: Usually constructed when permeable strata are available at shallow depths. Trenches
may be 0.5 m to 1 m wide and 1 to 1.5 m deep, 10 to 15 m long depending upon availability of
water. These are back filled with filter material.
iii. Dug Wells: Existing dug wells can be utilized as recharge structures and water made to pass
through filter media before putting into dug wells.
iv. Recharge wells: Recharge wells of 100 mm to 300 mm diameter are constructed for recharging
the deeper aquifers and water is passed through filter media to avoid chock age of recharge well.
v. Roof top rain water: In big cities, roof top rainwater recharge has been recommended.
Local authorities, communities need to be encouraged, can take up all these methods. Considering only
100 sqkm of area water harvesting and assuming average rainfall 1000 mm and assuming only 40 %
average runoff to be retained by soil, the quantity of water that can possible be recharged may be around
40 Mcum.

Naya Raipur Development Plan - 2031
The total solid waste generation has been given in Table 10.10.
The total generation of solid waste works out to 434.9 MT/day in the year 2031, which corresponds to
805 gms per Capita per day of solid waste.
There are several Municipal Refuse Disposal method are in uses in various cities throughout world.
Some of the methods are listed below:
• Sanitary Landfill
• Central Incineration
• On site Incineration
• Grinding Food Wastes
• Composting
Depending upon the socio-economic condition, usual practices and availability of fund the selection of
disposal methods are to be made judiciously. Considering the local condition of Raipur and the proposed
Naya Raipur, the proposal is the combination of the following disposal methods:
• Sanitary Landfill
• Composting
The daily-generated solid wastes from residential, institutional sources and from commercial areas are to
be collected through by the appointed contractor of Welfare Society. The residents, commercial and
institutionalises will be charged the market rate for it. The contractor of the Welfare Society will deposit
the solid wastes to the covered waste collection containers having suitable working and pneumatic
66
Naya Raipur Development Plan - 2031
container lifting arrangements so that the containers may be employed conveniently on the trucks.
There will be covered container at 500 m distance on the roadside. The container will have two
chambers one for recyclable material to be dropped and other for all organic and compost materials.
The sorting of the solid waste can be done by the contractor. The sorters are to be provided with hand
gloves, shocks and dress so that their health could be protected. In fact, the contract conditions are to be
made considering this condition.
The Consultant recommends a 75 T capacity compost plant and 7.5 acre area for dumping ground for
phase I. The total area required for dumping ground is 22 acre. Two dumping grounds of 4.5 ha each are
proposed at the north-eastern and south-eastern sides of the city in the peripheral area, at a distance of 5
Km from the city boundary. (Refer map 10.4).

10.5 Power
Naya Raipur city for 5.6 lakh population is proposed to be developed in three phases. The estimated
power requirement by the completion of phase III will be 565 MVA. The calculation is based on :
The estimated power requirement in this phase will be 95 MVA. The power demand can be met by
importing power at 33kV voltage level from the nearby sources. 5 nos. 33/11kV substations of capacity
20MVA are to be built in or around the town.
The estimated power requirement for this phase will be 130 MVA. The demand of the already
developed Phase-I of the city will increase by 61MVA by the end of completion of Phase-II. The total
increase of load by the end of completion Phase-II will be 191 MVA. Total load at the end of Phase-II
development will be 286MVA.
It is proposed to build a dedicated 132/33 kV grid substation of capacity 200MVA for the proposed city.
Power at 132 kV from National Grid/Chhattisgarh Electricity Board grid will be received at the grid
substation and stepped down to 33kV which will further be transmitted to various Sector substations
(33/11 kV). 10 number of 33/11kV substations in addition to the already built 5 number in Phase –I will
have to be built to cater this increase of load.
The estimated power requirement in this phase will be 155 MVA. The demand of the already developed
Phase-I and Phase -II of the city will increase by 124MVA by the end of completion of Phase-III. The
total increase of load by the end of completion Phase-III will be 279 MVA. Total load at the end of
Phase-III development will be 565MVA.
14 numbers of 33/11kV substations in addition to the already built 15 numbers in Phase –I and Phase-II
will have to be built to cater this increase of load.
Therefore the total estimated requirement for the completely developed city will be 565 MVA. Two
more 132/33kV grid substation in addition to the one already built Phase-II will have to be built in this
Phase of development.

C. 11/0.433 kV Substations
10.5.5 General Recommendations for setting up modern Electrical Power Transmission and
Distribution system
The following steps are recommended for improvement in Transmission and Distribution of Power
Supply.
i. Power supply for up to 33 kV voltage should be taken through underground distribution system. The
cables can be taken through underground duct or simply buried in the ground.
ii. The Proposed Grid stations should preferably be built around outskirts of the city. Power supply at
132kV or above voltage level can be taken through overhead system.
iii. To ensure minimum interruption of Power Supply, 11kV underground distribution system can be
connected in Ring Main. It will ensure alternate source of power supply for all substations
connected to the Ring Main.
iv. Wherever it is necessary to use overhead transmission (Outside city limit), LT Arial Bunch cables
can be used to check power theft.
v. 11/0.433kV substations can be indoor or outdoor type.
69
Naya Raipur Development Plan - 2031
vi. Wherever there is space constraints in congested areas, Modern compact packaged outdoor
substations can be used. This type of modern outdoor substation contains Transformer, RMU,
Capacitor and all the Switchgear arrangement in a single compartment. Space requirement for this
type of substation is only 5m x 5m x 4m.
vii. The main receiving stations (Grid Stations) should have the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition) facility to ensure on line monitoring and control of power supply. All substations and
distribution stations will be interconnected with controlling stations by using modern methods e.g.
Fibre optics.
viii. As far as the usage of power is concerned, it is proposed to use energy efficient electrical light
fittings and lamps e.g. low power ballasts, low consumption high power luminaries, lux level
limiters and timers for street lighting etc. Non-conventional source of energy e.g. solar heaters are
proposed for heating. High masts will be used at road junctions, stadiums, transport hubs, parks and
for area lighting. All consumers domestic, commercial, government organisations will be metered.
10.6 Telecommunications
Modern communication system will be provided for internal as well as external communication.
Modern state-of-the-art digital exchanges in requisite numbers are envisaged for providing
STD/ISD/Internet facilities. As per present practice, electronic exchanges with 40,000 lines per
exchange are proposed to be installed in requisite numbers. A dedicated exchange will be provided in
the Capitol Complex. Fibre optic cables will be used instead of conventional telecom cables. The
network shall be designed to provide full access to VSAT/satellite communications and also the ISDN
facilities. All the consumers could have plug-in type telephones. The telephone and electric cables will
be laid in the same corridor. It will be ensured that adequate vertical and horizontal separation between
telephone and electric cable is maintained. Extensive network of cellular phones is also envisaged.

11 Social Infrastructure
11.1 Introduction
The development of sustainable social infrastructure is the basic requirement for providing quality life;
social infrastructure has a significant role in promoting growth and competitiveness in the economy.
Appropriate provision of social infrastructure will have a direct bearing in improving the various social
indicators, thus fulfilling the vision of Naya Raipur (Refer map 11.1).
Following hierarchical city structure has been worked out for the provision of social infrastructure.
Table 11.1: Proposed City structure
Hierarchy Population served
Housing Area / Sub sector 5,000
Neighbourhood / Sector 16000
Community 1 –1.5 lakh
City 5 lakh
The city has been divided into four planning units/communities of 100,000 to 150,000 population each
to provide for a proper and equitable distribution of facilities (Refer map 11.2).
In the foregoing paragraphs, space provisions required for different social infrastructure are quantified.
The NRDA shall make best efforts to provide the prescribed space and promote the facilities.
11.3 Health
The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social
well being. The objective is to attain the same for the population of Naya Raipur city.
For appropriate distribution and availability of health facilities, the UDPFI guidelines suggest the norm
of 5 beds per 1,000 population. However as the health facilities are most likely to attract population
from the region, the facilities are provided at 6 beds per 1,000 population (Refer table 112).
71
Naya Raipur Development Plan-2031
Besides all the above facilities a medical college cum hospital (500 beds) for 5-lakh population with an
area of 15 Ha is envisaged in the institutional and research complex.
Note: Within the quantum of space provided for overall health facility, the NRDA may vary the category of facilities within a
particular level of provision.
11.4 Education
To provide school education for 100% children, the following norms are adopted based on UDPFI
guidelines.

Naya Raipur Development Plan -2031
The garden city image of Naya Raipur is reflected through the sizeable area allocated for open spaces at
the city level that adds up to 26.67 % of the total city area. Parks and open spaces are valuable resources
to the community and play an important role in defining the character and lifestyle of the City's
residents. A systematic distribution of recreational and open spaces has been worked for an equitable
access and proper division throughout City as given in table 12.2 (Refer map 12.1).
The city and regional level parks are provided at the four ends of the city integrating the water bodies
with the general landscape. The existing plantations and water bodies have been preserved and
integrated with the green spine and open spaces connecting the different sub-city level facilities.
