SWF channel system<br />

According to the present scenario, the <strong>Storm</strong> Water Flow <strong>and</strong> Dry Weather Flow Channels serve<br />

as drainage <strong>and</strong> sewerage arteries of about 144 Sq. Km. of the city of Kolkata including Tollygunge<br />

Panchannagram Basin ( T.P. Basin ) <strong>and</strong> about 175 Sq. Km. of rural area along with its flow line<br />

towards East up to River Kultigong. The Three separate Channel Systems are:<br />

Town Head Cut (T.H.C.) Channel having a length of 7.47 Km. T.H.C. starts from the outfall of Palmer<br />

Bazar Pumping Station <strong>and</strong> meets S.H.C. at Bantala Regulator.<br />

Feeder Channel to T.H.C. having a length of 1.829 Km. This feeder starts from Dhapa Lock Pumping<br />

Station <strong>and</strong> meets T.H.C. at Makalpota.<br />

Suburban Head Cut ( S.H.C.) Channel having a length' of 7.163 Km. S.H.C. starts from Ballygunge<br />

Pumping Station <strong>and</strong> receives T.H.C. at the downstream of Bantala Regulator.<br />

The system also receives storm water from TP Basin through 3 nos. pump houses at Chowbhaga.<br />

The two Channels i.e. T.H.C. <strong>and</strong> S.H.C. meet at Bantaia <strong>and</strong> form the S.W.F. Channel which<br />

reaches River Kultigong at Ghushighata. The combined length of S.W.F. Channel system is about 44<br />

Km. Other relevant data of the channel are as follows:<br />

Length of SWF channel from Bantola to Kulti<br />

27.20 km<br />

Length of Town Head Cut (T.H.C.) channel<br />

7.47 km<br />

Length of channel from Dhapa Lock Pumping Station to the meeting point of T.H.C. 1.829km<br />

Length of Suburban Head Cut (S.H.C.) channel<br />

7.163 km<br />

Total<br />

43.662 km<br />

There exists a huge difference between the present position <strong>and</strong> the old design considerations.<br />

Virtually it has become inadequate leading to the necessity of providing additional measures for
