Chandwara Multi Village Rural Water Supply Scheme, Jharkhand | Drinking Water & Sanitation Department

Project Purpose

The Chandwara Multi Village Rural Water Supply Scheme, aligned with the Jal Jeevan Mission, is designed to efficiently collect raw water from the Tenughat Dam, treat it at a dedicated Water Treatment Plant (WTP), and distribute clean drinking water directly to households. This initiative significantly enhances water accessibility, ensuring safe drinking water reaches thousands of residents across Chandwara and the adjoining areas in the region impacting more than 20000 lives.

Project Deliverables

• Intake Well: Critical raw water sourcing structure constructed at Tenughat Dam, including comprehensive electromechanical installations for efficient water extraction.
• Approach Bridge: A 118 Metre Bridge is constructed to ensure accessibility to the intake well, facilitating regular maintenance and operational activities.
• Raw Water Rising Main (RWRM): Ensures effective transportation of raw water to the WTP through carefully selected DI K9 pipelines.
• Water Treatment Plant (WTP): A dedicated 11.5 MLD WTP structure for the project Utilizes advanced Rapid Sand Filtration technology for treatment, including components such as Aerator, Clariflocculator, Filter House, Chlorination Facility, Chemical House, and a Clear Water Reservoir to guarantee the safety of potable water.
• Clear Water Rising Main (CWRM): Efficiently transports treated water using high-pressure capable DI K9 pipelines, addressing current and future water demands.
• Elevated Service Reservoirs (ESRs) and Ground Service Reservoirs (GSRs): Strategically positioned 9 Nos. elevated reservoirs and 1 Nos. ground reservoir across the project area with capacities ranging from 43KL – 811KL, operating via gravity to maintain adequate pressure and distribution throughout the network.
• Distribution Network: Extensive DI pipeline network precisely designed to manage optimal water flow and pressure for household connections.
• SUMP: A strategically located underground storage reservoirs are used for intermediate storage of treated water, facilitating continuous and uniform water supply across the distribution network.
• House Service Connections (HSC): Robust household connection infrastructure providing reliable, tap-controlled water access. There are a total of 12,608 Nos. of connections that have to be provided under the project.
• Electro Mechanical Works: The project requires us to install more than 10 Nos. of pumping machinery designed with high efficiency and reliability to manage varying water demands across extensive geographical and elevation ranges by helping in the movement of the fluid from one point to another.
