WATER REQUIREMENT AND ITS SOURCE

Proposed project site is near to Dharoi dam so water requirement for the construction and operation
phase will be sourced from this dam.

During construction phase only domestic wastewater will be generated which will be treated in
proposed Sewage treatment plant (STP).

During operation phase, domestic wastewater will be generated which will be treated in STP and
reused in gardening and flushing purpose. Domestic wastewater i.e. 1,200 KLD in peak traffic season
will be generated and that will be treated and reused for gardening and flushing purpose.
