Planning and design of a water treatment plant (India)

The source of water supply is Upper Indravati Dam, is located in Nabarangpur and Kalahandi district of Odisha. This multi-purpose dam comprises of four dams and eight dykes to form a gross storage capacity of 2,300 MCM. The type of intake system proposed for this scheme is floating barge type raw water intake arrangement. Raw water rising mains (RWRM) will carry the raw water from the Intake Well by pumping to proposed water treatment plant (WTP). Based on the survey and available land, location of WTP has been proposed at a distance of appx 9.6 km from intake well. Clear water reservoirs and a pump house are proposed at WTP. Treated water will be supplied to elevated storage reservoirs provided for each Gram Panchayat by direct pumping from WTP. The network of pipes that will carry the clear water to storage reservoirs in each Gram Panchayat will be called clear water rising mains (CWRM). The city of Nabarangpur is the district headquarters. Most of its population is tribal, and most of the land is forested. Situated in the southwest corner of Odisha, it borders Koraput District.
