1.3.3 Rainfall and Climate Mysore district receives an average rainfall of 776.7 mm. There are 53 rainy days in the district on an average and about 50% of the annual rainfall occurs during the southwest monsoon period the rainfall generally decreases from west to east. The coefficient of variation is around 30% in the west to above 35% in the east, indicative of consistent rainfall in the west as compared to the east. The premonsoon rainfall is more consistent than the post- monsoon rainfall. The southwest monsoon had been normal from 1994 onwards till 1999, excessive during 2000 and deficient thereafter. The northwest monsoon is much better as being excessive to normal during the recent past. Over all on an annual basis, there are more normal rainfall years than excessive and deficient ones. While during 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2005, the district received excess rainfall, 1998, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004, it received Normal except for 2006, during which the district received deficient rainfall.

The average minimum and maximum temperatures vary from 34 to 21.4 oC in April to 16.4 to 28.5 o C in January. Relative humidity ranges from 21 to 84%. Wind speed ranges from 7.9 in October to 14.1 kmph in July. Annual potential evapo-transpiration is 1533.5 mm. The PET is less than the monthly mean rainfall during the months of July, September and October in different taluks, indicating availability of water surplus for recharge to ground water.

1.3.4 Geology

M/s Karnataka Housing Board Conceptual Plan

Geomorphologically, the district is classified as denudational uplands with about 85 to 90% of the district falling in this category. The next important geomorphological unit is older flood plains mainly in the H.D Kote Taluk and parts of Mysore taluk.

Ridges and valleys form the third important unit and are mainly restricted to the Nanjangud and H.D Kote taluk and north western part of Mysore taluk. Flat valleys are not very common except for isolated appearances. The general elevation in the district ranges from 700-800 m amsl except for the denudational hills and ridges.

The H.D Kote taluk in the southern parts of the district has higher elevation ranging from 2200-3150 m amsl. The Mullur betta with an elevation of 3150 m amsl falls in the area. The Hekkan betta (3732 m amsl) of the Naganpur Reserved Forest, the Shigebetta (3724 m amsl) of the Ainurmarigudi Reserved Forest and the Jainbaribetta (3231m amsl) of the Bedrampadi reserved forest mark the water divide making the southern boundary of H.D. Kote taluk and also of the district.

1.3.5 Soil

The soil types of the district are grouped in to three viz., the red sandy soils, red loamy soils and deep black soils. Almost entire district is covered by red sandy soil except for small parts of T. Narapur taluk. The soils are having high permeability and are neutral with a pH of 7. The thickness of the soil varies from less than a meter to 6 m. North-eastern part of T. Narasipur taluk comprises of red loamy soil. It is characterized by clayey content mixed with sand. It is less permeable compare to the sandy soil. It is having good moisture holding capacity and is fertile. The thickness varies from less than a meter to 16 m. Deep Black soils occur in south-western part of T. Narasipur taluk in a small area. These soils are dark brown, dark greyish brown to very dark grey or black in colour. The texture is usually clayey throughout the profile. These soils are fertile and generally produce good yields. Adequate soil and water management practices and drainage facilities are essential to obtain sustainable yields; otherwise salinity and water logging conditions may develop. These soils need to be flushed once in 3-5 years with good quality water.

1.3.6 Ground Water Potential

Ground water in the district generally occurs under unconfined to semi confined conditions. In the shallower zones it is under phreatic conditions and in deeper zones it is under semi- confined conditions. Within the depth range of 10.00 to 20.00 m bgl ground water is being exploited through dug wells and from 30.00 to 92.00 m bgl through dug-cum-bore wells or bore wells. Exploration has proved the presence of prolific aquifers at greater depths.

1.3.7 Socio-Economic Scenario According to the provisional results of the 2011 census of India, Mysore had a population of 8,87,000. The total Population of Urban Agglomeration (U/A) is 9,20,550. The gender ratio of the city is 1000 females to every 1000 males and the population density is 6,910.5 per square kilometre (17,898/sq mi). As of 2011, the literacy rate of the city is 86.84 per cent, which is higher than the state's average of 75.6 per cent.[ Kannada is the most widely spoken language in the city. The residents of the city are known as Mysoreans in English and Mysoorinavaru in Kannada. 1.3.8 Economy Tourism is the major industry in Mysore. The city attracted about 3.15 million tourists in 2010. Mysore has traditionally been home to industries such as weaving, sandalwood carving, bronze work and the production of lime and salt. The planned industrial growth of the city and the state was first envisaged at the Mysore economic conference in 1911. This led to the establishment of industries such as the Mysore Sandalwood Oil Factory in 1917 and the Sri Krishnarajendra Mills in 1920. For the industrial development of the city, the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) has established four industrial areas in and around Mysore, in the Belagola, Belawadi, Hebbal and Hootagalli areas. The growth of the information technology industry in the first decade of the 21st century has resulted in the city emerging as the second largest software exporter in Karnataka, next to Bangalore. The city contributed Rs. 1363 crore (US$275 million) to Karnataka's IT exports.

1.4.4 Water Supply During Construction phase, About 5 KLD of water would be required for the construction purpose and water required for the domestic purpose including construction site and labour colony is expected to be about 17 KLD, the source of water is met through Tanker water supply

During operation phase there shall be no abstraction of ground water. The water will be supplied by: Kabani water supply and/ or Existing Bore wells. The quality of fresh water is expected to be 1029 KLD conform the standards prescribed by IS: 10500, 1992.

1.4.5 Waste Water Generated

During construction phase, wastewater Generated at site & from labour colony will be about 15.3 KLD ( 90% of domestic water requirement) and it will be treated in Mobile Sewage

M/s Karnataka Housing Board Conceptual Plan

Treatment Plant of 16 KLD capacity and the treated effluent is re-used for dust suppression and construction activities and there is no direct contact of workers.

The wastewater in operation phase will be treated up to tertiary level in STP’s of 2 modules of 750 KLD. Total Quantity of wastewater generated is expected to be 1385.5 KLD, treated water will be used for gardening and, flushing.

1.4.6 Collection and Conveyance System

Combined sewerage system is adopted. All the soil and waste pipes from toilets and Kitchen will be collected in the vertical shaft by providing soil, waste and vent stacks. Waste stacks will be connected to gully trap and soil stacks will be connected to the inspection chambers. All the inspection chambers in the middle/side of the road are further connected with the pipes of required sizes, which will be laid at necessary Gradient and finally connected to manholes for final disposal in the proposed sewerage treatment plant.

1.4.7 Sewage Treatment Plant

System is designed to treat 1385.5 KLD of sewage. The sewage treatment scheme shall be designed to treat the wastewater and reuse the treated water for flushing & Gardening. The treatment scheme shall be designed to deliver the treated water quality norms stipulated by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB), in order to conserve the water. The STP shall be designed to ensure that treated sewage parameters are well below/within permissible limits, even under varying quantity and quality conditions and the designed system shall be capable of withstanding shock loads.

The treatment plant is based on the “SBR Technology” system. SBR - Sequencing Batch Reactor technology is well known for its simplicity and low cost. It has been widely used for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment applications to meet specific effluent requirements. Sequencing Batch Reactor System is a fill and draw Activated Sludge System. SBR process uses high-efficiency oxygen transfer aeration equipment to satisfy the high-rate oxygen consumption requirement at the beginning of the "fill" and "aeration" cycles. SBR is efficient in carbonaceous pollutant removal, and is easily modified to satisfy nutrient removal of nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P). Because the fill, aeration, settlement and draw take place in the same reaction tank, thus SBR tank itself also serves as the clarifier itself. A process flow diagram of a typical SBR system is as shown below. The head works process and sludge treatment processes are similar to that of activated sludge process. However the treated effluent may need to be equalized to ensure the effluent quality is suitable for disposal or for further advanced treatment. The processes inside the Sequencing Batch Reactor system include the following:  Fill - raw sewage or wastewater is filled into the SBR tank, can be mixed, or aerated  React - aeration process for the carbonanceous organic pollutant removal  Settlement - settling of sludge after the react  Draw - the supernatant is decanted (withdrawn) from the tank for discharge or further treatment and gardening requirements.
