NKUSIP (Package I - Dharwad)Tranche I Sub-Projects in Haveri CMCInitial Environmental Examinationiii) Topography of the site is predominantly flat. The soil of the site ischaracterised by clayey soil.iv) The depth of groundwater table is deep at around 40 to 50m belowground level.v) There is no development in the vicinity. Sparse development can beobserved at around 1.0 km from the site.vi) Site is surrounded by agricultural fields. Due to non-availability ofirrigation facilities only rain fed crops are cultivated here. Cotton andpulses are the main crops cultivated in the area. No groundwaterextraction points such as bore wells are located with in the vicinity.vii) The site has proper access; a road passes adjacent to the site. A smallseasonal stream, Dodda Halla which is presently draining the waste waterfrom the town boundaries western side of proposed STP site. The streamruns dry for the entire year except for two to three months during themonsoon. This stream joins River Varada approximately at 16.02 km northof proposed STP site. As the stream runs through agricultural fields wherefarmers are utilizing the waste water for irrigation purpose, the waterdoes not reach the river in down stream. In the present proposal, thetreated effluent from STP is proposed to be discharged in to this stream.2. Water Supply76. Improvement at intake point of River Varada, developing Heggere Kere as animpounding reservoir, laying pipe line from River Varada to New WTP andHeggere Kere along with enhancement of distribution network in the CMC arethe proposals made under NKUSIP.77. Improvement at Intake Point of River Varada: The existing intake point inRiver Varada will be rehabilitated as the intake point during monsoon to storewater in Heggere Kere to cater city’s summer demand. There are noenvironmental sensitive issues along the intake point or neighboring.78. Developing Heggere Kere as an impounding Reservoir: The lake is sufficientenough to store 1400 ML water but has to be developed as a fresh waterreservoir. There are no significant environmental sensitive features along theproposed area.79. New Pipe Lining from River Varada to New WTP / Heggere Kere: This willinvolve lying of pipeline for 11 km length. Landuse along major part of thealignment is agricultural.3. Urban DrainageKUIDFC34WSAPL
