1. City proper (including Boichitala) 80% of 104 sq km = 83sq.km. Calcutta contiguous<br />
2. Jadavpur/Tollygunge Panchanangram Basin = 38 sq.km( 95% ) Subarban areas 121<br />
3. South Salt Lake Basin = 36 sq.km.<br />

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
