proposed integrated complex for delhi judicial academy

Rapid Environmental Impact Assessment (REIA) Study for Proposed Integrated Complex for Delhi Judicial Academy,
National Law School, and National Institute for Mediation & Conciliation at Dwarka, New Delhi
treated wastewater on the proposed site during operation of the project for use in horticulture
and other auxiliary purposes, the effect would be minimized. The wastewater generated will be
treated and reused within the campus. About 6-8 m 3 /hr of treated water will be reused for flushing
of toilets and horticulture purpose. It is also expected that there will be a significant increase in the
municipal piped supply of water with the augmentation of the capacity of the water treatment plants
in the area in near future. Both these measures along with implementation of rainwater harvesting
and conservation measures would have positive impact on the ground water quality and quantity.
These measures would reduce the fresh intake quantity from the ground water.
Groundwater was tested at the project site and was compared to IS: 10500 (1991) for evaluation.
Most of the parameters are observed to be within the limits prescribed by this standard. Since no
wastewater from the complex will be discharged into the open, no impact on groundwater quality is
envisaged.
The water requirement during the construction phase will be partly met through tankers and in
limited case through borewell and hence no adverse impacts on ground water are envisaged.
5.4.2 Impacts on Piped Water Supply
Water consumption in the proposed residential and academic complex is estimated to be about 297
m 3 / day. About 60% of this consumption will be met through the municipal piped water supply and
the remaining will be from the ground water. The increase in water demand from the existing water
supply network would decrease the number of supply hours for the existing users in the project
area. It is expected that the increase in water demand will be met from additional water available
from new water treatment which is being proposed in Dwarka and will come soon and hence would
not have any significant impact on the existing water supply. Moreover, by setting up of the STP
on-site, the consumption of fresh water intake would likely to be reduced. Also, with the present
water supply potential of the existing system i.e. 74 lpcd, the demand for the proposed complex
could easily be met.
During construction phase, no demand will be put on the existing piped water supply network and
will be partly met through tankers and partly from the ground water.
