Project: Preparation of Master Plan for Water Supply, Sewerage and Drainage
for Lahore

Contract: Consultancy Services for “Preparation of Master Plan for Water Supply,
Sewerage and Drainage for Lahore”.

Client: Water & Sanitation Agency (WASA), Lahore Development Authority

1 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
1.1 Beneficiary
All the inhabitants of Lahore District.

1.2 Contracting Authority

Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA), Lahore Development Authority (LDA)

1.3 Relevant Background

1.3.1 Project Description

Urbanization presents one of the key challenges and, at the same time, opportunities in
the new millennium. Urbanization is taking place at a rapid pace and is beyond the
effective control of most government across the world. The scale and complexity of
urban problems are increasing everywhere and out of those most challenging is to meet
the water and sanitation demands. All cities must plan ahead to enable a sustainable
future in the rapidly changing urban environment. Cities must review their strategic
plans to develop better economic, social and environmental future. Those cities that fail
to plan ahead and execute the plans will not be competitive in the globalized world.

In the same context, Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA), Lahore Development
Authority intends to hire consultants for preparation of Master Plan with 25-year
planning horizon and identification/prioritization of projects for provision of physical
infrastructure for water supply, sewerage, storm water drainage and waste water
treatment with detailed designing and costing for the Lahore District to meet the
present & future requirements for efficient and effective service delivery.

The consultant shall consider, as appropriate, alternative options and analyze these in
terms of their institutional, technical and financial merits.

1.3.2 Geographical Area to be Covered

Lahore is the capital of the province of Punjab and the second largest city of Pakistan.
Major portion of the city lies towards east and south of River Ravi, a tributary of

Section 5: Terms of Reference 1/1

 mighty River Indus. The average elevation of the city is 700 ft. above mean sea level.
Lahore is situated on the flood plain of River Ravi which has a gradual slope towards
South West.

At the time of independence, Lahore had an estimated population of about 0.775

million. After independence in 1947, the growth of city further accelerated. Lahore
continued to grow and by 1998, Lahore was transferred into a metropolis city. The
current WASA Lahore service area is about 350 Sq. Km with an estimated population
of 6.152 million. However for the Master Planning purpose, whole of the district is the
study area.

1.4 Previous Master Plan and Studies Conducted

The consultants should study and review the previous Master Plan suggestions,
provisions and their implementation during 1975 to 2011, the physical targets
achieved, deviations from the plan, shortcomings and suggestion about works being
executed at present as briefly described below:

1.4.1 Master Plan for Water Supply, Sewerage & Drainage System of Lahore (1975)

Previous Master Plan for WASA Lahore was prepared in 1975 with World Bank
Assistance with 25-year planning horizon. Major interventions made under the
previous plan were:

a) Direct pumping through the network of main well centres along the River Ravi
Bed. Construction of Old Ravi, National Ravi, Bhogiwal, and Salamat Pura Well
Centres.
b) Water supply to the city through big feeder mains of Ductile Iron Pipes.
c) Provision of main sewerage pumping stations and trunk sewers
d) Laying of 12” to 32” dia Ductile Iron feeder mains from well centres to inside
city.
e) Construction of Disposal Stations at Mahmood Booti, Sadbagh, Khokhar Road,
Gulshan-e-Ravi, Farrukhabad, Multan Road and Main Outfall.

1.4.2 Sewerage and Drainage System for Central Lahore (2002)

Comprehensive engineering study for sewerage & drainage system of Central Lahore
was conducted with planning horizon upto year 2027.

1.4.3 Sewerage and Drainage System for South Lahore (2007)

Comprehensive engineering study for sewerage & drainage system of South Lahore
was conducted with planning horizon upto year 2057.

1.4.4 Sewerage and Drainage System for Southwest Lahore (2008)

Comprehensive engineering study for sewerage & drainage system of Southwest

Lahore was conducted with planning horizon up to year 2058.

Section 5: Terms of Reference 2/2

1.5 Current State of Affairs in the Relevant Sector

1.5.1 General

Master Plan for water, waste water and storm water drainage services was last prepared
by M/s Camp, Dresser & Mckee (CDM) in 1975. The city has since grown many times
in size and population. LDA now wants to assess not just the current situation but to
forecast future needs, which calls for exhaustive studies and planning on several counts
to make water supply, sewerage & storm water drainage system sustainable. It includes:

• To recycle the wastewater after its treatment and its use for arboricultural /
irrigation purposes.
• To use the rainwater for recharging the ground water.

Investment in the sector over many years has been at a level well below that needed for
sustainability and consequently the infrastructure cannot meet the standards needed to
achieve compliance with the environmental requirements. The standards of service
have declined to a point where a large proportion of the population receives water on an
intermittent basis and of a quality which is not up to the standards of potability.
Wastewater is discharged without licenses thus causing significant environmental risks.

1.5.2 Drinking water sector

Lahore District, its main 9 towns and surroundings areas are located over water aquifer.
The water supply in the city is purely based on the ground water. The water is
abstracted through a number of tubewells installed in all parts of the district which is
generally pumped directly into the distribution system. Due to ever increasing number
of tubewells, the water table is depleting rapidly. The organization and management of
the services lacks coherence, and investment has been far below the level needed both
for long term sustainability of the existing assets, and to bring the systems up to modern
standards in terms of water conveyance, storage, level of losses and treatment.

In addition to these general statements about the service, the other problems of the
water supply sector includes the following:
• Regulations are weak in terms of the definition of responsibilities and the
allocation of them.
• Monitoring, inspection and enforcement powers are also very weak.
• There is no clear separation of the regulatory functions and the service provision
functions after the devolution and 18th amendment.
• Water supply is on an intermittent basis.
• Study and review the existing levels of service
• The resource situation is not exactly known because there are no recent and
detailed hydrological and hydro-geological studies of sustainable yields.

Section 5: Terms of Reference 3/3

 • Main traditional source is under increasing threat from saline intrusion (due to
over-pumping) and pollution (due to absence of sewerage and sewage treatment
over an unconfined aquifer, and the intensive use over many years of agro-
chemicals such as nitrogenous fertilizers and pesticides).
• The levels of non-revenue water are considerable, and the components (physical
leakage, technical and commercial losses) are not separately estimated
• There isn’t a clear policy on the allocation of water resources between the
competing needs for drinking water and those of irrigated agriculture.
• The pricing policy for the drinking water service is not sufficiently in line with
the scarcity of water. Tariffs are not explicitly set at cost recovery levels –
either to cover resource costs and operation and maintenance, or asset
depreciation and any investment financing charges.
• All water services are not metered, and there is no policy on periodic re-
calibration of meters. Bill collection rates are very poor. Continuation of the
services is dependent solely on central and local annual budgets.
• No records are kept of assets, their condition, book value or remaining service
life. No asset management (business) planning is carried out. Recent
investments in the sector have been mainly on pipe replacements.

1.5.3 Wastewater sector

Presently, no waste water treatment services exist and the raw waste water is directly
discharged into the River Ravi which creates environmental problems especially when
significant dilution is not available in the river. The sewerage service generally suffers from:
• Failure to keep up with the development of the district or because of piecemeal
extensions. The result is that capacity is inadequate in many places and leading
to overflowing on to the surface and hence drainage to low lying (ponded) areas
with resultant contamination of near surface groundwater
• No records are kept of assets, their condition, book value or remaining service
life. No asset management (business) planning is carried out. Recent
investments in the sector have been mainly on pipe replacements
• Lack of effluent standards and enforcement
• Poor maintenance of pumping stations – no preventive maintenance
• Combined systems of sewerage and storm water, which can’t cope with heavy
rainfall, which leads to surface flooding and ponding.
• Absence of any sewage treatment

1.5.4 Storm-water Sector

Storm water drainage has also become a major environmental concern particularly in urban
areas of the Lahore where mostly partially combined drainage/sewerage systems are in use.
The situation becomes worse in the monsoon which normally extends from July to
September. It is not only an issue for low lying areas but also for some developed localities.
The other related issues are:

Section 5: Terms of Reference 4/4

 • Poor maintenance of pumping stations again leading to overflows and ponding
• Combined systems of sewerage and stormwater, which can’t cope with heavy
rainfall, which leads to surface flooding and ponding
• Dumping of Solid Waste into drains.

1.5.5 Waste Water Treatment Sector

A greater area of concern is the lack of waste water treatment which could not meet the
requirements of national Environmental Quality Standards. With very few exceptions the
problem of safe disposal of domestic and other industrial effluents has not been addressed.
The ground situation is that bulk of the waste water (domestic/industrial) is discharged
untreated into natural water bodies (streams, canals, rivers, seepage drains, and other
channels) and /or used for irrigation purposes.

3.3.9 Comparative analysis of water supply distribution system through water storage
tanks Vs direct pumping:

The original water supply system was based on supply through Overhead Reservoirs
(OHRs). During the implementation of World Bank Project the major part of the
capital investment was spent on sewerage disposal stations and construction of new
Reservoirs was proposed to be delayed upto 1980. With the passage of time the most
of the existing Reservoirs have outlived their lives and at present are not in use. The
present water supply is generally & mostly based on direct pumping of water by the
tubewells into the distribution system. The consultant will map and analyze the
present direct pumping system, examine its flaws, pros & cons with respect to
financial impact, water quality and pressure. The consultant will compare the present
system with the supply through Overhead Reservoirs (OHRs) and will prepare a
proposal for induction of Overhead Reservoirs in the system, if found feasible.

While exploring the use of OHRs, study the use of existing OHRs (functional / non
functional) and location of new OHRs may be determined through the detailed
computer modeling of the distribution system considering the available water sources,
their location, pipe network and water demand etc.

Study the shortcomings of distribution network through computer aided analysis and
prepare proposals for replacement of inadequate water lines, additional linking and
looping to improve the system for equitable/ balanced supply distribution to all
service areas.
