Karnataka Integrated and Sustainable Water Resource Investment Programme Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Component Draft Final Report Volume 2 Strategic Investment Plan September 2012 TA 7954–IND: KISWRIP Draft Final Report: Vol. 2 – Strategic Investment Plan September 2012 Foreword This Draft Final Report has been prepared as a deliverable of the PPTA-7954 IND: “Karnataka Integrated and Sustainable Water Resources Management Investment Programme – Urban Water and Sanitation Component”. This, the Second Volume, sets out a Strategic Investment Plan for improved water and wastewater service in the State of Karnataka as well as in the KISWRIP pilot Tundra-Bhadra sub basin. The Plan is based upon the detailed assessment made of four ULBs in the Tundra-Bhadra River sub-basin. During the course of the preparation of the Report, considerable advice, guidance and assistance has been provided by the Steering Committee and the staff of the KUIDFC, the local ULBs, KUWS&DB and by the engineering staff responsible for the existing on-going UWSS projects within the subject towns. This kind assistance, without which this Report could not have been produced, is herewith duly acknowledged and credited. In particular, the assistance and advice offered by the Managing Director of the KUIDFC and our Core Nodal Officer has been essential. Many of the recommendations made in the Institutional Road Map, and upon which the Strategic investment Plan is based, are theirs. I have merely taken their suggestions, polished them and fitted them into the overall context of the Programme.
