1.0 Introduction
Dharmanagar is a District town and a Municipal Council in the North East of India and the North Tripura District of the State of Tripura, India. Most of the known history of Dharmanagar is derived from the ancient Rajmala scripts, which is ancient Royal chronicles of the Kings of Tripura, written in the 14th century. The origin of the name ‘Dharmanagar’ cannot be traced back in time. The Rajmala refers to at least four unknown ancient kings whose names include the word ‘Dharma’. Dharmanagar is a city with extreme natural beauty. The city is located in the western hemisphere of the State of Tripura.
At present Dharmanagar is bound by Maulvi Bazar of Sylhet, Bangladesh in the North, Karimganj District of Assam in the East, Mizoram state in the South and Kailashahar of Unakoti District in the West. The North Tripura District is famous for several tourist attractions such as Rowa Wild-Life Santuary, Jampui H ills etc. The Jampui Hills are famous for natural beauty, climate and orange garden. The iconic Kalibari is located in the heart of the city of Dharmanagar. Dharmanagar is blessed with a peaceful climate most of the year. The nearest airport to Dharmanagar is in Silchar and further afield Agartala. There are also helicopter services, daily bus services and train services, which connects the city to the capital of the state. At present Dharmanagar is the head quarter of the North Tripura Judicial District. The Court of District & Sessions Judge, North Tripura at Dharmanagar was inaugurated on 20.09.2014 by Hon’ble Mr. Justice Deepak Gupta, the Chief Justice of the Hon’ble High Court of Tripura. Besides, there are Judicial Courts at Kanchanpur Sub-Division under North Tripura Judicial District.

2.0 Topography
The physiography is characterised by hill ranges, valleys and plains. The state has five anticlinal ranges of hills running north to south, from Boromura in the west, through Atharamura, Longtharai and Shakhan, to the Jampui Hills in the east.The intervening synclines are the Agartala–Udaipur, Khowai–Teliamura, Kamalpur–Ambasa, Kailasahar– Manu and Dharmanagar–Kanchanpur valleys. At an altitude of 939 m (3,081 ft), Betling Shib in the Jampui range is the state's highest point. The small isolated hillocks interspersed throughout the state are known as tillas, and the narrow fertile alluvial valleys, mostly present in the west, are called lungas. A number of rivers originate in the hills of Tripura and flow into Bangladesh.The Khowai, Dhalai, Manu, Juri and Longai flow towards the north; the Gumti to the west; and the Muhuri and Feni to the south west.
3.0 Climate
In Dharmanagar, the wet season is hot, oppressive, and mostly cloudy and the dry season is warm and mostly clear. The warmest month of the year is August, with an average temperature of 28.2 °C | 82.8 °F. At 18.2 °C | 64.8 °F on average, January is the coldest month of the year.

5.0 Existing Site Soil Conditions
In general, soils of the area are acidic in nature. The pH of soil ranges from 5.50 to 5.64. Nitrogen and phosphate is low, available potash is medium to high, calcium, magnesium and sulphur are deficient in these soils. In the area lateritic soil is found in tilla (hilly / small mounds) area, younger soils or river valley soils are found along all major river courses. Clayey soils are found in paddy fields. Apart from these, sandy loam, clayey loam and loamy soils are also available.
6.0 Ground Water Resource
Physiographical, the northeaster region can be subdivided into several units each with distinctive characteristics. Hydrological condition is correlated with geomorphic units, which in turn can provide reliable data on groundwater. The major geomorphic element observed in Tripura is north-south running parallel hill regions and intervening valleys. The hills are tightly folded anticlines with broad synclinal valleys. These anticline hills form watersheds from which drainage patterns emerge. Geologically, the area is occupied by the folded sedimentary formations ranging in age from lower Tertiary to Recent. Of the various groups of rocks found, Tipam sandstones are considered the main producer aquifer. Extensive hydrological surveys carried out by the Central Groundwater Board in almost all the valleys of Tripura revealed three to four major aquifers within 259m in depth. Such thickness varies from valley to valley but decreases considerably in the synclinal valleys of Kamalpur, Kailashsahar and Dharmanagar. The anticlinal hills intervening the synclinal valley not only act as ground water divides but the sandy formations exposed therein act as recharge zone. Since the recharge area lies in the anticlinal hills, favourable artesian conditions occur whenever good thickness of impermeable clay beds underline and overlie the saturated granular zones. Flowing conditions with auto-flow of 100 to 3000 liters per hour are found mainly in the central part of most of the synclinal valley of Tripura.The worthiness of ground water also varies from valley to valley. While in Agratala valley in the west, they are positively potential, it becomes moderate towards Dharmanagar on the north east. Records of the technical details from 15 different locations in four districts indicate that tube-wells have been successfully constructed in all the synclinal valleys of Tripura. Large numbers of shallow tube-wells have been constructed by the State Government at depth of 30m to 60m. In areas fringing the hills (within 2 to 4km), water table generally appear deep and sediments fine, Groundwater structures in such area offered low yields and drawdowns are heavy (Prasad, K.K. 1984, Ground Water Resource of North East India, in Resource Potential of North East India vol. 1: 25-32, Meghalaya Science Society). The shallow aquifer level are normally located within a depth of 50m below ground level (sometime, it may be at 12-20m depth as in Dharmnagar valley or 5-25m in depth as in Kamalpur valley) and the deeper aquifer occur between the depth ranges of 50m to 200m. Recent data in four districts show no decline in groundwater level for 0 to >4m. On the other hand rise in the groundwater level at 0-2m level is noted in 42.11%, at 2-4m level the figure is 57.89% and above 4m level no rise is noted. A total of 19 sampling stations were used to measure the rise and fall of water level during April 1999-August 1999 in Dhalai, North Tripura, South Tripura and West Tripura (Table-1)

The water level becomes highest between the month of August and start declining from January to April.
6.1 Ground water quality
The analytical results show that there is no considerable difference between quality of water from shallow and deeper aquifers. Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking and Domestic Use: The pH values of the ground water ranges from 7.14 to 7.90 for shallow aquifer and from 6.36 to 8.19 for deeper aquifer. The BIS (1991) has recommended acceptable range of pH from 9 6.5 to 8.5 for domestic use. The water of the tube well at Panisagar in North Tripura has pH value of 6.36 otherwise all water of the area is acceptable for domestic use in view of pH ranges. Ground water quality in the area is potable and range of all the chemical constituents are within the permissible limit set by BIS (1991), except iron. In shallow aquifer EC values ranges from 75 to 447 and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 105 to 365. Fluoride content in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.03 to 0.39 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.12 to 0.29ppm. The iron concentration in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.06 to 3.93 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.06 to 12.00ppm. During ground water exploration at Panisagar the concentration of iron is found to be 12 ppm.
Suitability of Ground Water for Irrigation Use: In general, ground water in the area is suitable for irrigation purpose, except concentration of iron is higher than permissible limit.

12 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
6.2 Status of ground water development
Ground water is being developed mostly by construction of deep tube wells, shallow tube wells and RCC wells etc .for drinking, domestic and irrigation purposes. These structures are fitted with suitable pumps or with ordinary hand pumps for withdrawing ground water .In addition to that, there are some shallow tube wells which are auto flow in nature drawing ground water in the district. Drinking water scenario. In urban areas water supply is done mainly from surface water sources. But in rural areas, deep tube wells and shallow tube wells fitted with suitable pumps provide drinking water to villagers. Water is being supplied directly from deep tube wells without any treatment and certain places water is supplied after iron removal wherever the iron concentration is beyond permissible limit. There are 138 deep tube wells, 1103 RCC wells in the district. In addition there is one surface water treatment plant in the district. As on 31-03-2008, out of 1092 habitations, 291 are fully covered, 593 are partially covered and 208 are uncovered so for. Irrigation scenario Ground water is being developed for irrigation purposes through deep tube wells; shallow tube wells fitted with pump sets (both electric and diesel pumps) and artesian wells.
6.3 Water conservation and artificial recharge
In the area scope for artificial recharge is minimal because water level in the major part of the district lies between 2 – 5 m bgl. As the area receives about 2430mm of annual rainfall construction of rainwater harvesting structures are possible. Apart from roof top rainwater harvesting structures small & medium sized check dams can be constructed.
6.4 Ground water related issues and problems
Water Quality problems Ground water of the area is characterized by a generally high iron content which ranges from 0.2 to 12 ppm. The concentration of iron in ground water is generally much above the prescribed desirable limit of 0.3 ppm and maximum permissible of 1 ppm. The iron concentration in water from open well is comparatively less than that of tube wells. This is due to the fact that the scope of aeration is more in open wells allowing the precipitation of ferrous iron as ferric iron. The enrichment of iron in water of the area is due to the ferruginous nature of Tipam sandstones, which forms the major aquifers. The high contents of iron renders ground water unsuitable for drinking purpose, hence the level of concentration should be brought down to the desirable limit before use for drinking purpose, to avoid any health hazards. Drilling Problems In the area shallow tube wells are drilled manually. It is reported that construction of shallow tube wells is difficult in the foothills and hilly areas of the district due to the presence of hard shale.

8.0 Situation Analysis of the existing drainage system
Figure 15: Existing condition of drainage system Dharmanagar
The area is currently being utilized for Urban and no instances of large scale flooding have been reported in the recent years. The area is a green field with no formal/manmade storm water drainage system. There are several small to medium sized natural water bodies in the area which serve to collect, store and eventually discharge the rainwater into the tributaries which finally fall into river or percolate the runoff into the ground over a period of time. Proper planning for a storm water drainage system is crucial considering increased runoff as the paved area would increase after the proposed development.

8.1 Existing Storm water drainage network of Dharamanagar
8.2 Issues of existing drainage system
The most of the area is semi paved and thus at present, most of the rainfall which falls on this area infiltrates into ground. But once this area is developed, the major portion of the rainfall will not find its way to the underground water and thus get filled in the low lying areas. Therefore, the conveyance of this rainfall to the proper outfall is a necessity. Figure 16: Existing condition of drainage system Dharmanagar

Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
9.0 Proposals and designing of the drainage system
The following point shall be considered, while planning and designing of the drainage system: The storm water drainage system is proposed to be integrated with a rain water harvesting system to minimize the impact of tapping of ground water as a water supply source and increase in impervious surfaces on the ground water table. Drain should be planned according to the ground levels, slope of the ground, valley and ridges and also the land use planned for urban development. Drains should be planned to get good longitudinal slope, considering the nature of soil, water level. Drainage of large area can be better achieved by subdividing it into small grids to avoid a long main drain. Efficiency in maintenance of drainage system should be an important consideration in selecting the size, (covered or open) shape and the location. The specification of the drain should also aim at preventing the possibility of ingress of other extraneous materials, debris, rubbish, vegetation etc. Where gratings are provided on drains, they should so locate as to attract attention of maintenance staff, easy to approach inspects and clean it. An attempt shall be made in the design to provide higher starting and higher outfall bed levels in drains. A free outfall shall be attempted as far as possible. Design of main drain shall be so made as to allow use of normal methods for desalting operation. Inlets to the drains to be properly designed and located. It is always desirable that run off from the catchment areas outside the city boundary should be taken by suitable drain layout to bypass the township. The design flow will be the runoff from rainfall only.

12.0 Conclusion of Existing Storm water Drainage System
1. In many part of Dharmanagar the drainage system is constructed necessarily by ULB and as per requirement of area for feeding it partially. So that in most area of the city the drainage system shouldn’t carry the rain water in the Rainy season. 2. Drainage network of the Dharmanagar is not constructed properly which causes water logging in many places of the Dharmanagar . 3. Main connectivity of drainage out fall point is not proper due to which the disposal of drainage will not occur and found in some places, where discharge point of drainage system is upto a low lying area at the outer side of city which further will be collected there leading in water logging in several places. 4. There is an irregularity of drain section which is constructed at many places in Dharmanagar. At some places there are bigger section of drains which turns in small section due to which the discharge of drainage may be affected and causes waterlogging. 5. At some places invert level is not proper at junction of drainage network so that there will be a free flow in drainage system, due to which the flow of drain may be obstructed and silted which causes water logging. 6. It is observed that at many places drainage network is dismantled, non-continue and filled with sludge and rubbish. It may cause a non-free flow of drainage system and obstructed free flow of drain. 7. In outer part of Dharmanagar, some people have constructed their own houses in scattered manner without considering the level of road and drain. 8. At the connecting point of drainage the highest flood level of Canal/River/ out fall of drainage may be higher than at the drainage invert level which may causes water logging and stoppage of drainage.

1.0 Introduction
Kailashahar is a municipal council city, the headquarters of the Unakoti district in the Indian state of Tripura.It is located along the Bangladesh border. Kailashahar was the ancient capital of the Tripuri kingdom. Its history is associated with Unakoti, noted for its 7th - 9th century AD stone and rock cut images. A Shiva disciple who started the Tripurabda (Tripuri Calendar), prayed for Lord Shiva in Chhambulnagar village on the banks of the Mau river. It is speculated that Chhambulnagar, which is mentioned in Rajmala, was situated near Unakoti Hill.The Prince prayed for Mahadeva in Unakoti. Kailashahar may be the legendary Chhambulnagar. Some believers thought that Har (Shiva) resides in Kailash. Therefore, the place was known as Kailash Har which was later on transformed to Kailashahar. Tripura king Adi-Dharmapha ruled there in the 7th century. He performed a yagna with pomp and gaiety.
The fourth largest urban centre of Tripura. It is the Head Quarters of Unakoti Tripura District and is a Sub-divisional town. This sub-division is bounded by Bangladesh on the North & west, Dharmanagar Subdivision is located on the eastern side and Southern side is covered by Kumarghat. It has a population of 22405 according to 2011 census. It contributes about 2.50% of State Urban population. Kailashahar town is located between 24.33 N latitude and 92.02 East longitude. The town is situated on the bank of river Manu, the longest river of Tripura. The nearest railway station is at Kumarghat which is at a distance of around 25 Km. This town is about 135.00 Km away from the State capital Agartala and 109.00 Km by train from Kumarghat Railway Station to Agartala.

5.0 Existing Site Soil Conditions
In general, soils of the area are acidic in nature. The pH of soil ranges from 5.50 to 5.64. Nitrogen and phosphate is low, available potash is medium to high, calcium, magnesium and sulfur are deficient in these soils. In the area lateritic soil is found in tilla (hilly / small mounds) area, younger soils or river valley soils are found along all major river courses. Clayey soils are found in paddy fields. Apart from these, sandy loam, clayey loam and loamy soils are also available.
6.0 Ground Water Resource
Physiographical, the northeaster region can be subdivided into several units each with distinctive characteristics. Hydrological condition is correlated with geomorphic units, which in turn can provide reliable data on groundwater. The major geomorphic element observed in Tripura is north-south running parallel hill regions and intervening valleys. The hills are tightly folded anticlines with broad synclinal valleys. These anticline hills form watersheds from which drainage patterns emerge. Geologically, the area is occupied by the folded sedimentary formations ranging in age from lower Tertiary to Recent. Of the various groups of rocks found, Tipam sandstones are considered the main producer aquifer. Extensive hydrological surveys carried out by the Central Groundwater Board in almost all the valleys of Tripura revealed three to four major aquifers within 259m in depth. Such thickness varies from valley to valley but decreases considerably in the synclinal valleys of Kamalpur, Kailashsahar and Dharmanagar. The anticlinal hills intervening the synclinal valley not only act as ground water divides but the sandy formations exposed therein act as recharge zone. Since the recharge area lies in the anticlinal hills, favourable artesian conditions occur whenever good thickness of impermeable clay beds underline and overlie the saturated granular zones. Flowing conditions with auto-flow of 100 to 3000 liters per hour are found mainly in the central part of most of the synclinal valley of Tripura.The worthiness of ground water also varies from valley to valley. While in Agratala valley in the west, they are positively potential, it becomes moderate towards Dharmanagar on the north east. Records of the technical details from 15 different locations in four districts indicate that tube-wells have been successfully constructed in all the synclinal valleys of Tripura. Large numbers of shallow tube-wells have been constructed by the State Government at depth of 30m to 60m. In areas fringing the hills (within 2 to 4km), water table generally appear deep and sediments fine, Groundwater structures in such area offered low yields and drawdowns are heavy (Prasad, K.K. 1984, Ground Water Resource of North East India, in Resource Potential of North East India vol. 1: 25-32, Meghalaya Science Society). The shallow aquifer level are normally located within a depth of 50m below ground level (sometime, it may be at 12-20m depth as in Dharmnagar valley or 5-25m in depth as in Kamalpur valley) and the deeper aquifer occur between the depth ranges of 50m to 200m. Recent data in four districts show no decline in groundwater level for 0 to >4m. On the other hand rise in the groundwater level at 0-2m level is noted in 42.11%, at 2-4m level the figure is 57.89% and above 4m level no rise is noted. A total of 19 sampling stations were used to measure the rise and fall of water level during April 1999-August 1999 in Dhalai, North Tripura, South Tripura and West Tripura (Table-1)

The depth of water level in all the four districts show a typical pattern. The water level becomes highest between the month of August and start declining from January to April.
6.1 Ground water quality
The analytical results show that there is no considerable difference between quality of water from shallow and deeper aquifers. Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking and Domestic Use: The pH values of the ground water ranges from 7.14 to 7.90 for shallow aquifer and from 6.36 to 8.19 for deeper aquifer. The BIS (1991) has recommended acceptable range of pH from 9 6.5 to 8.5 for domestic use. The water of the tube well at Panisagar in North Tripura has pH value of 6.36 otherwise all water of the area is acceptable for domestic use in view of pH ranges. Ground water quality in the area is potable and range of all the chemical constituents are within the permissible limit set by BIS (1991), except iron. In shallow aquifer EC values ranges from 75 to 447 and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 105 to 365. Fluoride content in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.03 to 0.39 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.12 to 0.29ppm. The iron concentration in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.06 to 3.93 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.06 to 12.00ppm. During ground water exploration at Panisagar the concentration of iron is found to be 12 ppm.
Suitability of Ground Water for Irrigation Use: In general, ground water in the area is suitable for irrigation purpose, except concentration of iron is higher than permissible limit.

6.2 Status of ground water development
Ground water is being developed mostly by construction of deep tube wells, shallow tube wells and RCC wells etc .for drinking, domestic and irrigation purposes. These structures are fitted with suitable pumps or with ordinary hand pumps for withdrawing ground water .In addition to that, there are some shallow tube wells which are auto flow in nature drawing ground water in the district. Drinking water scenario. In urban areas water supply is done mainly from surface water sources. But in rural areas, deep tube wells and shallow tube wells fitted with suitable pumps provide drinking water to villagers. Water is being supplied directly from deep tube wells without any treatment and certain places water is supplied after iron removal wherever the iron concentration is beyond permissible limit. There are 138 deep tube wells, 1103 RCC wells in the district. In addition there is one surface water treatment plant in the district. As on 31-03-2008, out of 1092 habitations, 291 are fully covered, 593 are partially covered and 208 are uncovered so for. Irrigation scenario Ground water is being developed for irrigation purposes through deep tube wells; shallow tube wells fitted with pump sets (both electric and diesel pumps) and artesian wells.
6.3 Water conservation and artificial recharge
In the area scope for artificial recharge is minimal because water level in the major part of the district lies between 2 – 5 m bgl. As the area receives about 2430mm of annual rainfall construction of rainwater harvesting structures are possible. Apart from roof top rainwater harvesting structures small & medium sized check dams can be constructed.
6.4 Ground water related issues and problems
Water Quality problems Ground water of the area is characterized by a generally high iron content which ranges from 0.2 to 12 ppm. The concentration of iron in ground water is generally much above the prescribed desirable limit of 0.3 ppm and maximum permissible of 1 ppm. The iron concentration in water from open well is comparatively less than that of tube wells. This is due to the fact that the scope of aeration is more in open wells allowing the precipitation of ferrous iron as ferric iron. The enrichment of iron in water of the area is due to the ferruginous nature of Tipam sandstones, which forms the major aquifers. The high contents of iron renders ground water unsuitable for drinking purpose, hence the level of concentration should be brought down to the desirable limit before use for drinking purpose, to avoid any health hazards. Drilling Problems In the area shallow tube wells are drilled manually. It is reported that construction of shallow tube wells is difficult in the foothills and hilly areas of the district due to the presence of hard shale.

8.1 Issues of existing drainage system
The most of the area is semi paved and thus at present, most of the rainfall which falls on this area infiltrates into ground. But once this area is developed, the major portion of the rainfall will not find its way to the underground water and thus get filled in the low lying areas. Therefore, the conveyance of this rainfall to the proper outfall is a necessity.
Figure 16: Existing condition of drainage system Kailashahar 9.0 Proposals and designing of the drainage system
The following point shall be considered, while planning and designing of the drainage system: The storm water drainage system is proposed to be integrated with a rain water harvesting system to minimize the impact of tapping of ground water as a water supply source and increase in impervious surfaces on the ground water table. Drain should be planned according to the ground levels, slope of the ground, valley and ridges and also the land use planned for urban development. Drains should be planned to get good longitudinal slope, considering the nature of soil, water level. Drainage of large area can be better achieved by subdividing it into small grids to avoid a long main drain. Efficiency in maintenance of drainage system should be an important consideration in selecting the size, (covered or open) shape and the location. The specification of the drain should also aim at preventing the possibility of ingress of other extraneous materials, debris, rubbish, vegetation etc. Where gratings are provided on drains, they should so locate as to attract attention of maintenance staff, easy to approach inspects and clean it. An attempt shall be made in the design to provide higher starting and higher outfall bed levels in drains. A free outfall shall be attempted as far as possible. Design of main drain shall be so made as to allow use of normal methods for desalting operation. Inlets to the drains to be properly designed and located. It is always desirable that run off from the catchment areas outside the city boundary should be taken by suitable drain layout to bypass the township. The design flow will be the runoff from rainfall only.

12.0 Conclusion of Existing Storm water Drainage System
1. In many part of Kailashahar the drainage system is constructed necessarily by ULB and as per requirement of area for feeding it partially. So that in most area of the city the drainage system shouldn’t carry the rain water in the Rainy season. 2. Drainage network of the Kailashahar is not constructed properly which causes water logging in many places of the Kailashahar 3. Main connectivity of drainage out fall point is not proper due to which the disposal of drainage will not occur and found in some places, where discharge point of drainage system is upto a low lying area at the outer side of city which further will be collected there leading in water logging in several places. 4. There is an irregularity of drain section which is constructed at many places in Kailashahar. At some places there are bigger section of drains which turns in small section due to which the discharge of drainage may be affected and causes waterlogging. 5. At some places invert level is not proper at junction of drainage network so that there will be a free flow in drainage system, due to which the flow of drain may be obstructed and silted which causes water logging. 6. It is observed that at many places drainage network is dismantled, non-continue and filled with sludge and rubbish. It may cause a non-free flow of drainage system and obstructed free flow of drain. 7. In outer part of Kailashahar, some people have constructed their own houses in scattered manner without considering the level of road and drain. 8. At the connecting point of drainage the highest flood level of Canal/River/ out fall of drainage may be higher than at the drainage invert level which may causes water logging and stoppage of drainage.

2.0 Topography
The physiography is characterised by hill ranges, valleys and plains. The state has five anticlinal ranges of hills running north to south, from Boromura in the west, through Atharamura, Longtharai and Shakhan, to the Jampui Hills in the east.The intervening synclines are the Agartala–Udaipur, Khowai–Teliamura, Kamalpur–Ambasa, Kailasahar– Manu and Dharmanagar–Kanchanpur valleys. At an altitude of 939 m (3,081 ft), Betling Shib in the Jampui range is the state's highest point. The small isolated hillocks interspersed throughout the state are known as tillas, and the narrow fertile alluvial valleys, mostly present in the west, are called lungas. A number of rivers originate in the hills of Tripura and flow into Bangladesh.The Khowai, Dhalai, Manu, Juri and Longai flow towards the north; the Gumti to the west; and the Muhuri and Feni to the south west.
3.0 Climate
The Panisagar lies on 38m above sea level Panisagar's climate is classified as tropical. The climate here is classified as Am by the Köppen-Geiger system. The average annual temperature is 24.8 °C in Panisagar. About 2554 mm of precipitation falls annually.

5.0 Existing Site Soil Conditions
In general, soils of the area are acidic in nature. The pH of soil ranges from 5.50 to 5.64. Nitrogen and phosphate is low, available potash is medium to high, calcium, magnesium and sulphur are deficient in these soils. In the area lateritic soil is found in tilla (hilly / small mounds) area, younger soils or river valley soils are found along all major river courses. Clayey soils are found in paddy fields. Apart from these, sandy loam, clayey loam and loamy soils are also available.
6.0 Ground Water Resource
Physiographical, the northeaster region can be subdivided into several units each with distinctive characteristics. Hydrological condition is correlated with geomorphic units, which in turn can provide reliable data on groundwater. The major geomorphic element observed in Tripura is north-south running parallel hill regions and intervening valleys. The hills are tightly folded anticlines with broad synclinal valleys. These anticline hills form watersheds from which drainage patterns emerge. Geologically, the area is occupied by the folded sedimentary formations ranging in age from lower Tertiary to Recent. Of the various groups of rocks found, Tipam sandstones are considered the main producer aquifer. Extensive hydrological surveys carried out by the Central Groundwater Board in almost all the valleys of Tripura revealed three to four major aquifers within 259m in depth. Such thickness varies from valley to valley but decreases considerably in the synclinal valleys of Kamalpur, Kailashsahar and Dharmanagar. The anticlinal hills intervening the synclinal valley not only act as ground water divides but the sandy formations exposed therein act as recharge zone. Since the recharge area lies in the anticlinal hills, favourable artesian conditions occur whenever good thickness of
5 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
impermeable clay beds underline and overlie the saturated granular zones. Flowing conditions with auto-flow of 100 to 3000 liters per hour are found mainly in the central part of most of the synclinal valley of Tripura.The worthiness of ground water also varies from valley to valley. While in Agratala valley in the west, they are positively potential, it becomes moderate towards Dharmanagar on the north east. Records of the technical details from 15 different locations in four districts indicate that tube-wells have been successfully constructed in all the synclinal valleys of Tripura. Large numbers of shallow tube-wells have been constructed by the State Government at depth of 30m to 60m. In areas fringing the hills (within 2 to 4km), water table generally appear deep and sediments fine, Groundwater structures in such area offered low yields and drawdowns are heavy (Prasad, K.K. 1984, Ground Water Resource of North East India, in Resource Potential of North East India vol. 1: 25-32, Meghalaya Science Society). The shallow aquifer level are normally located within a depth of 50m below ground level (sometime, it may be at 12-20m depth as in Dharmnagar valley or 5-25m in depth as in Kamalpur valley) and the deeper aquifer occur between the depth ranges of 50m to 200m. Recent data in four districts show no decline in groundwater level for 0 to >4m. On the other hand rise in the groundwater level at 0-2m level is noted in 42.11%, at 2-4m level the figure is 57.89% and above 4m level no rise is noted. A total of 19 sampling stations were used to measure the rise and fall of water level during April 1999-August 1999 in Dhalai, North Tripura, South Tripura and West Tripura (Table-1)

6.1 Ground water quality
The analytical results show that there is no considerable difference between quality of water from shallow and deeper aquifers. Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking and Domestic Use: The pH values of the ground water ranges from 7.14 to 7.90 for shallow aquifer and from 6.36 to 8.19 for deeper aquifer. The BIS (1991) has recommended acceptable range of pH from 9 6.5 to 8.5 for domestic use. The water of the tube well at Panisagar in North Tripura has pH value of 6.36 otherwise all water of the area is acceptable for domestic use in view of pH ranges. Ground water quality in the area is potable and range of all the chemical constituents are within the permissible limit set by BIS (1991), except iron. In shallow aquifer EC values ranges from 75 to 447 and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 105 to 365. Fluoride content in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.03 to 0.39 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.12 to 0.29ppm. The iron concentration in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.06 to 3.93 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.06 to 12.00ppm. During ground water exploration at Panisagar the concentration of iron is found to be 12 ppm.

The depth of water level in all the four districts show a typical pattern. The water level becomes highest between the month of August and start declining from January to April.
6.1 Ground water quality
Ground Water Scenario of Kumarghat are good. Fine to medium grained sand stones form the principal aquifer.
The analytical results show that there is no considerable difference between quality of water from shallow and deeper aquifers. Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking and Domestic Use: The pH values of the ground water ranges from 7.14 to 7.90 for shallow aquifer and from 6.36 to 8.19 for deeper aquifer. The BIS (1991) has recommended acceptable range of pH from 9 6.5 to 8.5 for domestic use. The water of the tube well at Panisagar in North Tripura has pH value of 6.36 otherwise all water of the area is acceptable for domestic use in view of pH ranges. Ground water quality in the area is potable and range of all the chemical constituents are within the permissible limit set by BIS (1991), except iron. In shallow aquifer EC values ranges from 75 to 447 and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 105 to 365. Fluoride content in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.03 to 0.39 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.12 to 0.29ppm. The iron concentration in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.06 to 3.93 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.06 to 12.00ppm.
Suitability of Ground Water for Irrigation Use: In general, ground water in the area is suitable for irrigation purpose, except concentration of iron is higher than permissible limit.
12 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
2.3 Status of ground water development
Ground water is being developed mostly by construction of deep tube wells, shallow tube wells and RCC wells etc .for drinking, domestic and irrigation purposes. These structures are fitted with suitable pumps, Mark II/III or with ordinary hand pumps for withdrawing ground water .In addition to that, there are some shallow tube wells which are auto flow in nature drawing ground water in the district. Drinking water scenario In urban areas water supply is done mainly from surface water sources. But in rural areas, deep tube wells and shallow tube wells fitted with suitable pumps provide drinking water to villagers. Water is being supplied directly from deep tube wells without any treatment and certain places water is supplied after iron removal wherever the iron concentration is beyond permissible limit. There are 138 deep tube wells, 1103 RCC wells in the district. In addition there is one surface water treatment plant in the district. As on 31-03-2008, out of 1092 habitations, 291 are fully covered, 593 are partially covered and 208 are uncovered so for. The Block-wise no of existing sources and coverage is given in Table-3. Irrigation scenario Ground water is being developed for irrigation purposes through deep tube wells; shallow tube wells fitted with pump sets (both electric and diesel pumps) and artesian wells.
2.4 Water conservation and artificial recharge
In the area scope for artificial recharge is minimal because water level in the major part of the district lies between 2 – 5 m bgl. As the area receives about 2430mm of annual rainfall construction of rainwater harvesting structures are possible. Apart from roof top rainwater harvesting structures small & medium sized check dams can be constructed.
2.5 Ground water related issues and problems
Water Quality problems Ground water of the area is characterized by a generally high iron content which ranges from 0.2 to 12 ppm. The concentration of iron in ground water is generally much above the prescribed desirable limit of 0.3 ppm and maximum permissible of 1 ppm. The iron concentration in water from open well is comparatively less than that of tube wells. This is due to the fact that the scope of aeration is more in open wells allowing the precipitation of ferrous iron as ferric iron. The enrichment of iron in water of the area is due to the ferruginous nature of Tipam sandstones, which forms the major aquifers. The high contents of iron renders ground water unsuitable for drinking purpose, hence the level of concentration should be brought down to the desirable limit before use for drinking purpose, to avoid any health hazards. Drilling Problems In the area shallow tube wells are drilled manually. It is reported that construction of shallow tube wells is difficult in the foothills and hilly areas of the district due to the presence of hard shale.

9.0 Proposals and designing of the drainage system
The following point shall be considered, while planning and designing of the drainage system: The storm water drainage system is proposed to be integrated with a rain water harvesting system to minimize the impact of tapping of ground water as a water supply source and increase in impervious surfaces on the ground water table. Drain should be planned according to the ground levels, slope of the ground, valley and ridges and also the land use planned for urban development. Drains should be planned to get good longitudinal slope, considering the nature of soil, water level. Drainage of large area can be better achieved by subdividing it into small grids to avoid a long main drain. Efficiency in maintenance of drainage system should be an important consideration in selecting the size, (covered or open) shape and the location. The specification of the drain should also aim at preventing the possibility of ingress of other extraneous materials, debris, rubbish, vegetation etc. Where gratings are provided on drains, they should so locate as to attract attention of maintenance staff, easy to approach inspects and clean it.
16 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
An attempt shall be made in the design to provide higher starting and higher outfall bed levels in drains. A free outfall shall be attempted as far as possible. Design of main drain shall be so made as to allow use of normal methods for desalting operation. Inlets to the drains to be properly designed and located. It is always desirable that run off from the catchment areas outside the city boundary should be taken by suitable drain layout to bypass the township. The design flow will be the runoff from rainfall only.

12.0 Conclusion of Existing Storm water Drainage System
1. In many part of Kumarghat the drainage system is constructed necessarily by ULB and as per requirement of area for feeding it partially. So that in most area of the city the drainage system shouldn’t carry the rain water in the Rainy season. 2. Drainage network of the Kumarghat is not constructed properly which causes water logging in many places of the Kumarghat. 3. Main connectivity of drainage out fall point is not proper due to which the disposal of drainage will not occur and found in some places, where discharge point of drainage system is upto a low lying area at the outer side of city which further will be collected there leading in water logging in several places. 4. There is an irregularity of drain section which is constructed at many places in Kumarghat. At some places there are bigger section of drains which turns in small section due to which the discharge of drainage may be affected and causes waterlogging. 5. At some places invert level is not proper at junction of drainage network so that there will be a free flow in drainage system, due to which the flow of drain may be obstructed and silted which causes water logging.
17 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
6. It is observed that at many places drainage network is dismantled, non-continue and filled with sludge and rubbish. It may cause a non-free flow of drainage system and obstructed free flow of drain. 7. In outer part of Kumarghat, some people have constructed their own houses in scattered manner without considering the level of road and drain. 8. At the connecting point of drainage the highest flood level of Canal/River/ out fall of drainage may be higher than at the drainage invert level which may causes water logging and stoppage of drainage.

5.0 Existing Site Soil Conditions
In general, soils of the area are acidic in nature. The pH of soil ranges from 5.50 to 5.64. Nitrogen and phosphate is low, available potash is medium to high, calcium, magnesium and sulphur are deficient in these soils. In the area lateritic soil is found in tilla (hilly / small mounds) area, younger soils or river valley soils are found along all major river courses. Clayey soils are found in paddy fields. Apart from these, sandy loam, clayey loam and loamy soils are also available.
6.0 Ground Water Resource
Fine to medium grained sand stones form the principal aquifer. This zone extends bordering the hill ranges i.e. the marginal part of Ambasa,
The major geomorphic element observed in Tripura is north-south running parallel hill regions and intervening valleys. The hills are tightly folded anticlines with broad synclinal valleys. These anticline hills form watersheds from which drainage patterns emerge. Geologically, the area is occupied by the folded sedimentary formations ranging in age from lower Tertiary to Recent. Of the various groups of rocks found, Tipam sandstones are considered the main producer aquifer. Extensive hydrological surveys carried out by the Central Groundwater Board in almost all the valleys of Tripura revealed three to four major aquifers within 259m in depth. Such thickness varies from valley to valley but decreases considerably in the synclinal valleys of Kamalpur, Kailashsahar and Dharmanagar. The anticlinal hills intervening the synclinal valley not only act as ground water divides but the sandy formations exposed therein act as recharge zone. Since the recharge area lies in the anticlinal hills, favourable artesian conditions occur whenever good thickness of impermeable clay beds underline and overlie the saturated granular zones. Flowing conditions with auto-flow of 100 to 3000 liters per hour are found mainly in the central part of most of the synclinal valley of Tripura.The worthiness of ground water also varies from valley to valley. While in Agratala valley in the west, they are positively potential, it becomes moderate towards Dharmanagar on the north east. Records of the technical details from 15 different locations in four districts indicate that tube-wells have been successfully constructed in all the synclinal valleys of Tripura. Large numbers of shallow tube-wells have been constructed by the State Government at depth of 30m to 60m. In areas fringing the hills (within 2 to 4km), water table generally appear deep and sediments fine, Groundwater structures in such area offered low yields and drawdowns are heavy (Prasad, K.K. 1984, Ground Water Resource of North East India, in Resource Potential of North East India vol. 1: 25-32, Meghalaya Science Society). The shallow aquifer level are normally located within a depth of 50m below ground level (sometime, it may be at 12-20m depth as in Dharmnagar valley or 5-25m in depth as in Kamalpur valley) and the deeper aquifer occur between the depth ranges of 50m to 200m. Recent data in four districts show no decline in groundwater level for 0 to >4m. On the other hand rise in the groundwater level at 0-2m level is noted in 42.11%, at 2-4m level the figure is 57.89% and above 4m level no rise is noted. A total of 19 sampling stations were used to measure the rise and fall of water level during April 1999-August 1999 in Dhalai, North Tripura, South Tripura and West Tripura (Table-1)

The most of the area is semi paved and thus at present, most of the rainfall which falls on this area infiltrates into ground. But once this area is developed, the major portion of the rainfall will not find its way to the underground water and thus get filled in the low lying areas. Therefore, the conveyance of this rainfall to the proper outfall is a necessity.

In general, soils of the area are acidic in nature. The pH of soil ranges from 5.50 to 5.64. Nitrogen and phosphate is low, available potash is medium to high, calcium, magnesium and sulphur are deficient in these soils. In the area lateritic soil is found in tilla (hilly / small mounds) area, younger soils or river valley soils are found along all major river courses. Clayey soils are found in paddy fields. Apart from these, sandy loam, clayey loam and loamy soils are also available.
6.0 Ground Water Resource
Physiographical, the northeaster region can be subdivided into several units each with distinctive characteristics. Hydrological condition is correlated with geomorphic units, which in turn can provide reliable data on groundwater. The major geomorphic element observed in Tripura is north-south running parallel hill regions and intervening valleys. The hills are tightly folded anticlines with broad synclinal valleys. These anticline hills form watersheds from which drainage patterns emerge. Geologically, the area is occupied by the folded sedimentary formations ranging in age from lower Tertiary to Recent. Of the various groups of rocks found, Tipam sandstones are considered the main producer aquifer. Extensive hydrological surveys carried out by the Central Groundwater Board in almost all the valleys of Tripura revealed three to four major aquifers within 259m in depth. Such thickness varies from valley to valley but decreases considerably in the synclinal valleys of Kamalpur, Kailashsahar and Dharmanagar. The anticlinal hills intervening the synclinal valley not only act as ground water divides but the sandy formations exposed therein act as recharge zone. Since the recharge area lies in the anticlinal hills, favourable artesian conditions occur whenever good thickness of impermeable clay beds underline and overlie the saturated granular zones. Flowing conditions with auto-flow of 100 to 3000 liters per hour are found mainly in the central part of most of the synclinal valley of Tripura.The worthiness of ground water also varies from valley to valley. While in Agratala valley in the west, they are positively potential, it becomes moderate towards Dharmanagar on the north east. Records of the technical details from 15 different locations in four districts indicate that tube-wells have been successfully constructed in all the synclinal valleys of Tripura. Large numbers of shallow tube-wells have been constructed by the State Government at depth of 30m to 60m. In areas fringing the hills (within 2 to 4km), water table generally appear deep and sediments fine, Groundwater structures in such area offered low yields and drawdowns are heavy (Prasad, K.K. 1984, Ground Water Resource of North East India, in Resource Potential of North East India vol. 1: 25-32, Meghalaya Science Society). The shallow aquifer level are normally located within a depth of 50m below ground level (sometime, it may be at 12-20m depth as in Dharmnagar valley or 5-25m in depth as in Kamalpur valley) and the deeper aquifer occur between the depth ranges of 50m to 200m. Recent data in four districts show no decline in groundwater level for 0 to >4m. On the other hand rise in the groundwater level at 0-2m level is noted in 42.11%, at 2-4m level the figure is 57.89% and above 4m level no rise is noted. A total of 19 sampling stations

The depth of water level in all the four districts show a typical pattern. The water level becomes highest between the month of August and start declining from January to April.
6.1 Ground water quality
The analytical results show that there is no considerable difference between quality of water from shallow and deeper aquifers. Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking and Domestic Use: The pH values of the ground water ranges from 7.14 to 7.90 for shallow aquifer and from 6.36 to 8.19 for deeper aquifer. The BIS (1991) has recommended acceptable range of pH from 9 6.5 to 8.5 for domestic use. The water of the tube well at Panisagar in North Tripura has pH value of 6.36 otherwise all water of the area is acceptable for domestic use in view of pH ranges. Ground water quality in the area is potable and range of all the chemical constituents are within the permissible limit set by BIS (1991), except iron. In shallow aquifer EC values ranges from 75 to 447 and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 105 to 365. Fluoride content in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.03 to 0.39 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.12 to 0.29ppm. The iron concentration in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.06 to 3.93 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.06 to 12.00ppm. During ground water exploration at Panisagar the concentration of iron is found to be 12 ppm.
Suitability of Ground Water for Irrigation Use: In general, ground water in the area is suitable for irrigation purpose, except concentration of iron is higher than permissible limit.
12 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
6.2 Status of ground water development
Ground water is being developed mostly by construction of deep tube wells, shallow tube wells and RCC wells etc .for drinking, domestic and irrigation purposes. These structures are fitted with suitable pumps or with ordinary hand pumps for withdrawing ground water .In addition to that, there are some shallow tube wells which are auto flow in nature drawing ground water in the district. Drinking water scenario. In urban areas water supply is done mainly from surface water sources. But in rural areas, deep tube wells and shallow tube wells fitted with suitable pumps provide drinking water to villagers. Water is being supplied directly from deep tube wells without any treatment and certain places water is supplied after iron removal wherever the iron concentration is beyond permissible limit. There are 138 deep tube wells, 1103 RCC wells in the district. In addition there is one surface water treatment plant in the district. As on 31-03-2008, out of 1092 habitations, 291 are fully covered, 593 are partially covered and 208 are uncovered so for. Irrigation scenario Ground water is being developed for irrigation purposes through deep tube wells; shallow tube wells fitted with pump sets (both electric and diesel pumps) and artesian wells.
6.3 Water conservation and artificial recharge
In the area scope for artificial recharge is minimal because water level in the major part of the district lies between 2 – 5 m bgl. As the area receives about 2430mm of annual rainfall construction of rainwater harvesting structures are possible. Apart from roof top rainwater harvesting structures small & medium sized check dams can be constructed.
6.4 Ground water related issues and problems
Water Quality problems Ground water of the area is characterized by a generally high iron content which ranges from 0.2 to 12 ppm. The concentration of iron in ground water is generally much above the prescribed desirable limit of 0.3 ppm and maximum permissible of 1 ppm. The iron concentration in water from open well is comparatively less than that of tube wells. This is due to the fact that the scope of aeration is more in open wells allowing the precipitation of ferrous iron as ferric iron. The enrichment of iron in water of the area is due to the ferruginous nature of Tipam sandstones, which forms the major aquifers. The high contents of iron renders ground water unsuitable for drinking purpose, hence the level of concentration should be brought down to the desirable limit before use for drinking purpose, to avoid any health hazards. Drilling Problems In the area shallow tube wells are drilled manually. It is reported that construction of shallow tube wells is difficult in the foothills and hilly areas of the district due to the presence of hard shale.

9.0 Proposals and designing of the drainage system
The following point shall be considered, while planning and designing of the drainage system: The storm water drainage system is proposed to be integrated with a rain water harvesting system to minimize the impact of tapping of ground water as a water supply source and increase in impervious surfaces on the ground water table. Drain should be planned according to the ground levels, slope of the ground, valley and ridges and also the land use planned for urban development. Drains should be planned to get good longitudinal slope, considering the nature of soil, water level. Drainage of large area can be better achieved by subdividing it into small grids to avoid a long main drain. Efficiency in maintenance of drainage system should be an important consideration in selecting the size, (covered or open) shape and the location. The specification of the drain should also aim at preventing the possibility of ingress of other extraneous materials, debris, rubbish, vegetation etc. Where gratings are provided on drains, they should so locate as to attract attention of maintenance staff, easy to approach inspects and clean it. An attempt shall be made in the design to provide higher starting and higher outfall bed levels in drains. A free outfall shall be attempted as far as possible. Design of main drain shall be so made as to allow use of normal methods for desalting operation. Inlets to the drains to be properly designed and located. It is always desirable that run off from the catchment areas outside the city boundary should be taken by suitable drain layout to bypass the township. The design flow will be the runoff from rainfall only.

1. In many part of Kamapur the drainage system is constructed necessarily by ULB and as per requirement of area for feeding it partially. So that in most area of the city the drainage system shouldn’t carry the rain water in the Rainy season. 2. Drainage network of the Kamalpur is not constructed properly which causes water logging in many places of the Kamalpur. 3. Main connectivity of drainage out fall point is not proper due to which the disposal of drainage will not occur and found in some places, where discharge point of drainage system is upto a low lying area at the outer side of city which further will be collected there leading in water logging in several places. 4. There is an irregularity of drain section which is constructed at many places in Kamalpur. At some places there are bigger section of drains which turns in small section due to which the discharge of drainage may be affected and causes waterlogging. 5. At some places invert level is not proper at junction of drainage network so that there will be a free flow in drainage system, due to which the flow of drain may be obstructed and silted which causes water logging. 6. It is observed that at many places drainage network is dismantled, non-continue and filled with sludge and rubbish. It may cause a non-free flow of drainage system and obstructed free flow of drain. 7. In outer part of Kamalpur, some people have constructed their own houses in scattered manner without considering the level of road and drain. 8. At the connecting point of drainage the highest flood level of Canal/River/ out fall of drainage may be higher than at the drainage invert level which may causes water logging and stoppage of drainage.

2.0 Topography
The topography of Khowai district is traversed by mostly of rugged terrain with some undulating surface. About 70 percent of the district geographical areas are characterized by hilly terrain covered with dense forests and only about 25 percent are plains. Baramura hill range is located along western boundary and Atharamura hill range is located along eastern boundary of the district. Average altitude of Khowai is 23 meter. Physiographically, the district can be divided into two divisions- (1) The hill ranges, and (2) The valley / plain areas. THE HILL RANGES-Two hill ranges viz,. Baramura and Atharamura characterise Western and Eastern Part of the District. The average elevation of Atharamura is higher than the Baramura range. THE VALLEY / PLAIN AREAS- In between the hills range are the valleys characterized by gentle slope and broken by intermittent small hillocks (Saigal, 1978). The valley / plain areas in the district consist mainly of Khowai- Taliamura valley. (State of Environment Report of Tripura, 2002).

5.0 Existing Site Soil Conditions
In general, soils of the area are acidic in nature. The pH of soil ranges from 5.50 to 5.64. Nitrogen and phosphate is low, available potash is medium to high, calcium, magnesium and sulphur are deficient in these soils. In the area lateritic soil is found in tilla (hilly / small mounds) area, younger soils or river valley soils are found along all major river courses. Clayey soils are found in paddy fields. Apart from these, sandy loam, clayey loam and loamy soils are also available.
6.0 Ground Water Resource
Physiographical, the northeaster region can be subdivided into several units each with distinctive characteristics. Hydrological condition is correlated with geomorphic units, which in turn can provide reliable data on groundwater. The major geomorphic element observed in Tripura is north-south running parallel hill regions and intervening valleys. The hills are tightly folded anticlines with broad synclinal valleys. These anticline hills form watersheds from which drainage patterns emerge. Geologically, the area is occupied by the folded sedimentary formations ranging in age from lower Tertiary to Recent. Of the various groups of rocks found, Tipam sandstones are considered the main producer aquifer. Extensive hydrological surveys carried out by the Central Groundwater Board in almost all the valleys of Tripura revealed three to four major aquifers within 259m in depth. Such thickness varies from valley to valley but decreases considerably in the synclinal valleys of Kamalpur, Kailashsahar and Dharmanagar. The anticlinal hills intervening the synclinal valley not only act as ground water divides but the sandy formations exposed therein act as recharge zone. Since the recharge area lies in the anticlinal hills, favourable artesian conditions occur whenever good thickness of impermeable clay beds underline and overlie the saturated granular zones. Flowing conditions with auto-flow of 100 to 3000 liters per hour are found mainly in the central part of most of the synclinal valley of Tripura.The worthiness of ground water also varies from valley to valley. While in Agratala valley in the west, they are positively potential, it becomes moderate towards Dharmanagar on the north east. Records of the technical details from 15 different locations in four districts indicate that tube-wells have been successfully constructed in all the synclinal valleys of Tripura. Large numbers of shallow tube-wells have been constructed by the State Government at depth of 30m to 60m. In areas fringing the hills (within 2 to 4km), water table generally appear deep and sediments fine, Groundwater structures in such area offered low yields and drawdowns are heavy (Prasad, K.K. 1984, Ground Water Resource of North East India, in Resource Potential of North East India vol. 1: 25-32, Meghalaya Science Society). The shallow aquifer level are normally located within a depth of 50m below ground level (sometime, it may be at 12-20m depth as in Dharmnagar valley or 5-25m in depth as in Kamalpur valley) and the deeper aquifer occur between the depth ranges of 50m to 200m. Recent data in four districts show no decline in groundwater level for 0 to >4m. On the other hand rise in the groundwater level at 0-2m level is noted in 42.11%, at 2-4m level the figure is 57.89% and above 4m level no rise is noted. A total of 19 sampling stations were used to measure the rise and fall of water level during April 1999-August 1999 in Dhalai, North Tripura, South Tripura and West Tripura (Table-1)

The analytical results show that there is no considerable difference between quality of water from shallow and deeper aquifers. Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking and Domestic Use: The pH values of the ground water ranges from 7.14 to 7.90 for shallow aquifer and from 6.36 to 8.19 for deeper aquifer. The BIS (1991) has recommended acceptable range of pH from 9 6.5 to 8.5 for domestic use. The water of the tube well at Panisagar in North Tripura has pH value of 6.36 otherwise all water of the area is acceptable for domestic use in view of pH ranges. Ground water quality in the area is potable and range of all the chemical constituents are within the permissible limit set by BIS (1991), except iron. In shallow aquifer EC values ranges from 75 to 447 and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 105 to 365. Fluoride content in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.03 to 0.39 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.12 to 0.29ppm. The iron concentration in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.06 to 3.93 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.06 to 12.00ppm. During ground water exploration at Panisagar the concentration of iron is found to be 12 ppm.
Suitability of Ground Water for Irrigation Use: In general, ground water in the area is suitable for irrigation purpose, except concentration of iron is higher than permissible limit.

2.3 Status of ground water development
Hydro-geologically the area is a moderate to good zone for groundwater development. The water table lies between 15 m and 20 m below ground level in the unconsolidated sandy sediments of recent alluvium. Here the groundwater yield is good and can be developed with the use of deep tube wells. The area and blocks water supply is augmented with dug wells, shallow hand pumps and mini deep tube wells. Drinking water supply division, resource water division has taken initiatives and has installed number of tube wells in the area, which are in operation mode. The tube wells are installed with water jet method and rotary rig method (direct/reverse).Static water level is in the range of 10-15m below ground level. Numbers of water ponds are also there which augments village water supply. Rainfall is high in the range of 1800-2000 mm annually. The study area is mostly dominated by dense vegetation.Paddy cultivation is practiced based on the rainfall.
6.3 Water conservation and artificial recharge
In the area scope for artificial recharge is minimal because water level in the major part of the district lies between 2 – 5 m bgl. As the area receives about 2430mm of annual rainfall construction of rainwater harvesting structures are possible.

7.2 Drainage Pattern Map of Khowai District
Figure 15: Drainage Pattern Map of Khowai District
The overall drainage pattern is dendritic in the Khowai district. Khowai river is the main rivers of the district flowing towards north. The length of the river is about 133 km (Debnathet al., 2017). This river originates from Longtharai follow a north-western course then northernly towards Khowai town. The river is rain fed and transport large volume of water especially during the monsoon season causing floods in the lower portion of the valleys. The enormous flow of water sometimes causes the rivers to change their courses (Chatterjee, 1984). During winter season the water level of these rivers falls drastically and the riverbecomes almost stagnant, the channel sometimes gets disconnected (Chatterjee, 1984). Dueto this, the river water cannot be use for irrigation purpose.

1.0 Introduction
The Khowai district was created in the year 2012 and the district derives its name from the namesake river which virtually bifurcates the subdivision. In fact, life in the lush green and fertile Khowai valley, sandwiched on eastern and western sides by lateral extension of the Atharomura and Barmura hill ranges is sustained by the Khowai river and its abundant water resources spreading through the subdivision into neighbouring Bangladesh. For proper documentation and delineation of annual deposition of river bed minor minerals (non- metallic) detailed topographical survey and geological work (regional) along with ground checking have been carried out. The prima facie availability of adequate reserves of sand of desired quality under favourable mine ability factors was known. In the area of investigation, the river Khowai becomes antecedent in character since the river maintains its course across the Atharamura hill range and flows northwards throughout the synclinal valley located between Atharamura and Baramura hill range in the East and West respectively. Spreadover about 1328 sq. km.of undulating hills and plains with a population of 3,27,564 (Directorate of Economics & Statistics, Government of Tripura, Agartala,). Khowai district and its name sake headquarter is historically known for protracted political struggle of the indigenous tribal people for emancipation from princely misrule and exploitation from the middle of forties to the early fifties in the last century. Even now life and society in Khowai is synonymous with cultural activities and trends that inspire the whole of Tripura. Apart from its longstanding reputation as a centre of culture, Khowai district is also endowed with a fairly rich infrastructure that provide timely and efficient services to the people.

The topography of Khowai district is traversed by mostly of rugged terrain with some undulating surface. About 70 percent of the district geographical areas are characterized by hilly terrain covered with dense forests and only about 25 percent are plains. Baramura hill range is located along western boundary and Atharamura hill range is located along eastern boundary of the district. Average altitude of Khowai is 23 meter.Physiographically, the district can be divided into two divisions- (1) The hill ranges, and (2) The valley / plain areas.The hill ranges-two hill ranges viz,. baramura and atharamura characterise western and eastern part of the district. the average elevation of atharamura is higher than the baramura range. The valley / plain areas- in between the hills range are the valleys characterized by gentle slope and broken by intermittent small hillocks (saigal, 1978). the valley / plain areas in the district consist mainly of khowai- taliamura valley. (state of environment report of tripura, 2002).

5.0 Existing Site Soil Conditions
In general, soils of the area are acidic in nature. The pH of soil ranges from 5.50 to 5.64. Nitrogen and phosphate is low, available potash is medium to high, calcium, magnesium and sulphur are deficient in these soils. In the area lateritic soil is found in tilla (hilly / small mounds) area, younger soils or river valley soils are found along all major river courses. Clayey soils are found in paddy fields. Apart from these, sandy loam, clayey loam and loamy soils are also available.
6.0 Ground Water Resource
Physiographical, the northeaster region can be subdivided into several units each with distinctive characteristics. Hydrological condition is correlated with geomorphic units, which in turn can provide reliable data on groundwater. The major geomorphic element observed in Tripura is north-south running parallel hill regions and intervening valleys. The hills are tightly folded anticlines with broad synclinal valleys. These anticline hills form watersheds from which drainage patterns emerge. Geologically, the area is occupied by the folded sedimentary formations ranging in age from lower Tertiary to Recent. Of the various groups of rocks found, Tipam sandstones are considered the main producer aquifer. Extensive hydrological surveys carried out by the Central Groundwater Board in almost all the valleys of Tripura revealed three to four major aquifers within 259m in depth. Such thickness varies from valley to valley but decreases considerably in the synclinal valleys of Kamalpur, Kailashsahar and Dharmanagar. The anticlinal hills intervening the synclinal valley not only act as ground water divides but the sandy formations exposed therein act as recharge zone. Since the recharge area lies in the anticlinal hills, favourable artesian conditions occur whenever good thickness of impermeable clay beds underline and overlie the saturated granular zones. Flowing conditions with auto-flow of 100 to 3000 liters per hour are found mainly in the central part of most of the synclinal valley of Tripura.The worthiness of ground water also varies from valley to valley. While in Agratala valley in the west, they are positively potential, it becomes moderate towards Dharmanagar on the north east. Records of the technical details from 15 different locations in four districts indicate that tube-wells have been successfully constructed in all the synclinal valleys of Tripura. Large numbers of shallow tube-wells have been constructed by the State Government at depth of 30m to 60m. In areas fringing the hills (within 2 to 4km), water table generally appear deep and sediments fine, Groundwater structures in such area offered low yields and drawdowns are heavy (Prasad, K.K. 1984, Ground Water Resource of North East India, in Resource Potential of North East India vol. 1: 25-32, Meghalaya Science Society). The shallow aquifer level are normally located within a depth of 50m below ground level (sometime, it may be at 12-20m depth as in Dharmnagar valley or 5-25m in depth as in Kamalpur valley) and the deeper aquifer occur between the depth ranges of 50m to 200m. Recent data in four districts show no decline in groundwater level for 0 to >4m. On the other hand rise in the groundwater level at 0-2m level is noted in 42.11%, at 2-4m level the figure is 57.89% and above 4m level no rise is noted. A total of 19 sampling stations were used to measure the rise and fall of water level during April 1999-August 1999 in Dhalai, North Tripura, South Tripura and West Tripura (Table-1)

The depth of water level in all the four districts show a typical pattern. The water level becomes highest between the month of August and start declining from January to April.
6.1 Ground water quality
The analytical results show that there is no considerable difference between quality of water from shallow and deeper aquifers. Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking and Domestic Use: The pH values of the ground water ranges from 7.14 to 7.90 for shallow aquifer and from 6.36 to 8.19 for deeper aquifer. The BIS (1991) has recommended acceptable range of pH from 9 6.5 to 8.5 for domestic use. The water of the tube well at Panisagar in North Tripura has pH value of 6.36 otherwise all water of the area is acceptable for domestic use in view of pH ranges. Ground water quality in the area is potable and range of all the chemical constituents are within the permissible limit set by BIS (1991), except iron. In shallow aquifer EC values ranges from 75 to 447 and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 105 to 365. Fluoride content in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.03 to 0.39 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.12 to 0.29ppm. The iron concentration in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.06 to 3.93 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.06 to 12.00ppm. During ground water exploration at Panisagar the concentration of iron is found to be 12 ppm.
Suitability of Ground Water for Irrigation Use: In general, ground water in the area is suitable for irrigation purpose, except concentration of iron is higher than permissible limit.

2.3 Status of ground water development
Hydro-geologically the area is a moderate to good zone for groundwater development. The water table lies between 15 m and 20 m below ground level in the unconsolidated sandy sediments of recent alluvium. Here the groundwater yield is good and can be developed with the use of deep tube wells. The area and blocks water supply is augmented with dug wells, shallow hand pumps and mini deep tube wells. Drinking water supply division, resource water division has taken initiatives and has installed number of tube wells in the area, which are in operation mode. The tube wells are installed with water jet method and rotary rig method (direct/reverse).Static water level is in the range of 10-15m below ground level. Numbers of water ponds are also there which augments village water supply. Rainfall is high in the range of 1800-2000 mm annually. The study area is mostly dominated by dense vegetation.Paddy cultivation is practiced based on the rainfall.
6.3 Water conservation and artificial recharge
In the area scope for artificial recharge is minimal because water level in the major part of the district lies between 2 – 5 m bgl. As the area receives about 2430mm of annual rainfall construction of rainwater harvesting structures are possible. Apart from roof top rainwater harvesting structures small & medium sized check dams can be constructed.
6.4 Ground water related issues and problems
Water Quality problems Ground water of the area is characterized by a generally high iron content which ranges from 0.2 to 12 ppm. The concentration of iron in ground water is generally much above the prescribed desirable limit of 0.3 ppm and maximum permissible of 1 ppm. The iron concentration in water from open well is comparatively less than that of tube wells. This is due to the fact that the scope of aeration is more in open wells allowing the precipitation of ferrous iron as ferric iron. The enrichment of iron in water of the area is due to the ferruginous nature of Tipam sandstones, which forms the major aquifers. The high contents of iron renders ground water unsuitable for drinking purpose, hence the level of concentration should be brought down to the desirable limit before use for drinking purpose, to avoid any health hazards. Drilling Problems In the area shallow tube wells are drilled manually. It is reported that construction of shallow tube wells is difficult in the foothills and hilly areas of the district due to the presence of hard shale.

7.2 Drainage Pattern Map of Khowai District
Figure 15: Drainage Pattern Map of Khowai District
The overall drainage pattern is dendritic in the Khowai district. Khowai river is the main rivers of the district flowing towards north. The length of the river is about 133 km (Debnathet al., 2017). This river originates from Longtharai follow a north-western course then northernly towards Khowai town. The river is rain fed and transport large volume of water especially during the monsoon season causing floods in the lower portion of the valleys. The enormous flow of water sometimes causes the rivers to change their courses (Chatterjee, 1984). During winter season the water level of these rivers falls drastically and the riverbecomes almost stagnant, the channel sometimes gets disconnected (Chatterjee, 1984). Dueto this, the river water cannot be used for irrigation purpose.

8.0 Situation Analysis of the existing drainage system
The area is currently being utilized for Urban and no instances of large scale flooding have been reported in the recent years. The area is a green field with no formal/manmade storm water drainage system. There are several small to medium sized natural water bodies in the area which serve to collect, store and eventually discharge the rainwater into the tributaries which finally fall into river or percolate the runoff into the ground over a period of time. Proper planning for a storm water drainage system is crucial considering increased runoff as the paved area would increase after the proposed development.

8.1 Existing Storm water drainage network of Khowai
11 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
8.2 Issues of existing drainage system
The most of the area is semi paved and thus at present, most of the rainfall which falls on this area infiltrates into ground. But once this area is developed, the major portion of the rainfall will not find its way to the underground water and thus get filled in the low lying areas. Therefore, the conveyance of this rainfall to the proper outfall is a necessity. Figure 16: Existing condition of drainage system Khowai 9.0 Proposals and designing of the drainage system
The following point shall be considered, while planning and designing of the drainage system: The storm water drainage system is proposed to be integrated with a rain water harvesting system to minimize the impact of tapping of ground water as a water supply source and increase in impervious surfaces on the ground water table. Drain should be planned according to the ground levels, slope of the ground, valley and ridges and also the land use planned for urban development. Drains should be planned to get good longitudinal slope, considering the nature of soil, water level. Drainage of large area can be better achieved by subdividing it into small grids to avoid a long main drain. Efficiency in maintenance of drainage system should be an important consideration in selecting the size, (covered or open) shape and the location. The specification of the drain should also aim at preventing the possibility of ingress of other extraneous materials, debris, rubbish, vegetation etc. Where gratings are provided on drains, they should so locate as to attract attention of maintenance staff, easy to approach inspects and clean it. An attempt shall be made in the design to provide higher starting and higher outfall bed levels in drains. A free outfall shall be attempted as far as possible. Design of main drain shall be so made as to allow use of normal methods for desalting operation. Inlets to the drains to be properly designed and located. It is always desirable that run off from the catchment areas outside the city boundary should be taken by suitable drain layout to bypass the township. The design flow will be the runoff from rainfall only.

12.0 Conclusion of Existing Storm water Drainage System
1. In many part of Khowai the drainage system is constructed necessarily by ULB and as per requirement of area for feeding it partially. So that in most area of the city the drainage system shouldn’t carry the rain water in the Rainy season. 2. Drainage network of the Khowai is not constructed properly which causes water logging in many places of the Khowai. 3. Main connectivity of drainage out fall point is not proper due to which the disposal of drainage will not occur and found in some places, where discharge point of drainage system is upto a low lying area at the outer side of city which further will be collected there leading in water logging in several places. 4. There is an irregularity of drain section which is constructed at many places in Khowai. At some places there are bigger section of drains which turns in small section due to which the discharge of drainage may be affected and causes waterlogging. 5. At some places invert level is not proper at junction of drainage network so that there will be a free flow in drainage system, due to which the flow of drain may be obstructed and silted which causes water logging. 6. It is observed that at many places drainage network is dismantled, non-continue and filled with sludge and rubbish. It may cause a non-free flow of drainage system and obstructed free flow of drain. 7. In outer part of Khowai, some people have constructed their own houses in scattered manner without considering the level of road and drain. 8. At the connecting point of drainage the highest flood level of Canal/River/ out fall of drainage may be higher than at the drainage invert level which may causes water logging and stoppage of drainage. 9. The Khowai drainage network has main problem at some places in outer part which is that the disposal of drainage carrying through lalchoura up to river Khowai. The existing drainage system of Khowai is connected at 7 places. The connected drain is upto khowai river through kalibari road along the market leading in an obstruction by rubbish,sludge and girth.

2.0 Topography
The physiography is characterised by hill ranges, valleys and plains. The state has five anticlinal ranges of hills running north to south, from Boromura in the west, through Atharamura, Longtharai and Shakhan, to the Jampui Hills in the east.
3.0 Climate
The climate of Tripura exhibits a strong seasonal rhythm. The state is characterised by a warm and humid tropical climate with five distinct seasons, namely, spring, summer, monsoon, autumn and winter.Spring starts from late mid-February & continues till midMarch. Winter returns if there is rain a fresh in mid-February. Summer season starts from middle of March and reaches its peak in April - May. Pre- monsoon rain is always experienced after Jhum harvesting in the hills in March-April. Occasionally there is hardly any gap between pre-monsoon and monsoon rain. The recorded maximum temperature is 35.60°c. The monsoon generally breaks in the later part of May or first week of June and lasts till September. Winter sets in from November and is severe in the month of January when minimum temperature recorded is 4ºc in January 1995. Humidity is generally high throughout the year. In the summer season the relative humidity is varied from 50 percent to 74 percent whereas in the rainy season it is over 85 percent.
4.0 Rainfall
A more sensitive element of climate is the variation in rainfall. It varies not only from place to place or from year to year, but also between seasons. Annual rainfall ranges from 1922 mm to 2855 mm. The rainfall generally increases from Southwest to Northeast.
There is a big gap in the rainfall content in southern and central part around Amarpur, which is surrounded by 1500 mm. Isohyets. The northeastern part of the state around Dharmanagar gets maximum rainfall. Most of the rain comes during the months April June and July to September. This period is generally referred to as the kharif season and this is the major agricultural season of the state.

5.0 Existing Site Soil Conditions
In general, soils of the area are acidic in nature. The pH of soil ranges from 5.50 to 5.64. Nitrogen and phosphate is low, available potash is medium to high, calcium, magnesium and sulphur are deficient in these soils. In the area lateritic soil is found in tilla (hilly / small mounds) area, younger soils or river valley soils are found along all major river courses. Clayey soils are found in paddy fields. Apart from these, sandy loam, clayey loam and loamy soils are also available.

These anticline hills form watersheds from which drainage patterns emerge. Geologically, the area is occupied by the folded sedimentary formations ranging in age from lower Tertiary to Recent. Of the various groups of rocks found, Tipam sandstones are considered the main producer aquifer. Extensive hydrological surveys carried out by the Central Groundwater Board in almost all the valleys of Tripura revealed three to four major aquifers within 259m in depth. Such thickness varies from valley to valley but decreases considerably in the synclinal valleys of Kamalpur, Kailashsahar and Dharmanagar. The anticlinal hills intervening the synclinal valley not only act as ground water divides but the sandy formations exposed therein act as recharge zone. Since the recharge area lies in the anticlinal hills, favourable artesian conditions occur whenever good thickness of impermeable clay beds underline and overlie the saturated granular zones. Flowing conditions with auto-flow of 100 to 3000 liters per hour are found mainly in the central part of most of the synclinal valley of Tripura.The worthiness of ground water also varies from valley to valley. While in Agratala valley in the west, they are positively potential, it becomes moderate towards Dharmanagar on the north east. Records of the technical details from 15 different locations in four districts indicate that tube-wells have been successfully constructed in all the synclinal valleys of Tripura. Large numbers of shallow tube-wells have been constructed by the State Government at depth of 30m to 60m. In areas fringing the hills (within 2 to 4km), water table generally appear deep and sediments fine, Groundwater structures in such area offered low yields and drawdowns are heavy (Prasad, K.K. 1984, Ground Water Resource of North East India, in Resource Potential of North East India vol. 1: 25-32, Meghalaya Science Society). The shallow aquifer level are normally located within a depth of 50m below ground level (sometime, it may be at 12-20m depth as in Dharmnagar valley or 5-25m in depth as in Kamalpur valley) and the deeper aquifer occur between the depth ranges of 50m to 200m. Recent data in four districts show no decline in groundwater level for 0 to >4m. On the other hand rise in the groundwater level at 0-2m level is noted in 42.11%, at 2-4m level the figure is 57.89% and above 4m level no rise is noted. A total of 19 sampling stations

The depth of water level in all the four districts show a typical pattern. The water level becomes highest between the month of August and start declining from January to April.
6.1 Ground water quality
The analytical results show that there is no considerable difference between quality of water from shallow and deeper aquifers. Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking and Domestic Use: The pH values of the ground water ranges from 7.14 to 7.90 for shallow aquifer and from 6.36 to 8.19 for deeper aquifer. The BIS (1991) has recommended acceptable range of pH from 9 6.5 to 8.5 for domestic use. The water of the tube well at Panisagar in North Tripura has pH value of 6.36 otherwise all water of the area is acceptable for domestic use in view of pH ranges. Ground water quality in the area is potable and range of all the chemical constituents are within the permissible limit set by BIS (1991), except iron. In shallow aquifer EC values ranges from 75 to 447 and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 105 to 365. Fluoride content in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.03 to 0.39 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.12 to 0.29ppm. The iron concentration in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.06 to 3.93 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.06 to 12.00ppm. During ground water exploration at Panisagar the concentration of iron is found to be 12 ppm.
Suitability of Ground Water for Irrigation Use: In general, ground water in the area is suitable for irrigation purpose, except concentration of iron is higher than permissible limit.

2.3 Status of ground water development
Hydro-geologically the area is a moderate to good zone for groundwater development. The water table lies between 15 m and 20 m below ground level in the unconsolidated sandy sediments of recent alluvium. Here the groundwater yield is good and can be developed with the use of deep tube wells. The area and blocks water supply is augmented with dug wells, shallow hand pumps and mini deep tube wells. Drinking water supply division, resource water division has taken initiatives and has installed number of tube wells in the area, which are in operation mode. The tube wells are installed with water jet method and rotary rig method (direct/reverse).Static water level is in the range of 10-15m below ground level. Numbers of water ponds are also there which augments village water supply. Rainfall is high in the range of 1800-2000 mm annually. The study area is mostly dominated by dense vegetation.Paddy cultivation is practiced based on the rainfall.
6.3 Water conservation and artificial recharge
In the area scope for artificial recharge is minimal because water level in the major part of the district lies between 2 – 5 m bgl. As the area receives about 2430mm of annual rainfall construction of rainwater harvesting structures are possible. Apart from roof top rainwater harvesting structures small & medium sized check dams can be constructed.
6.4 Ground water related issues and problems
Water Quality problems Ground water of the area is characterized by a generally high iron content which ranges from 0.2 to 12 ppm. The concentration of iron in ground water is generally much above the prescribed desirable limit of 0.3 ppm and maximum permissible of 1 ppm. The iron concentration in water from open well is comparatively less than that of tube wells. This is due to the fact that the scope of aeration is more in open wells allowing the precipitation of ferrous iron as ferric iron. The enrichment of iron in water of the area is due to the ferruginous nature of Tipam sandstones, which forms the major aquifers. The high contents of iron renders ground water unsuitable for drinking purpose, hence the level of concentration should be brought down to the desirable limit before use for drinking purpose, to avoid any health hazards. Drilling Problems In the area shallow tube wells are drilled manually. It is reported that construction of shallow tube wells is difficult in the foothills and hilly areas of the district due to the presence of hard shale.

5.0 Existing Site Soil Conditions
In general, soils of the area are acidic in nature. The pH of soil ranges from 5.50 to 5.64. Nitrogen and phosphate is low, available potash is medium to high, calcium, magnesium and sulphur are deficient in these soils. In the area lateritic soil is found in tilla (hilly / small mounds) area, younger soils or river valley soils are found along all major river courses. Clayey soils are found in paddy fields. Apart from these, sandy loam, clayey loam and loamy soils are also available.
6.0 Ground Water Resource
Physiographical, the northeaster region can be subdivided into several units each with distinctive characteristics. Hydrological condition is correlated with geomorphic units, which in turn can provide reliable data on groundwater. The major geomorphic element observed in Tripura is north-south running parallel hill regions and intervening valleys. The hills are tightly folded anticlines with broad synclinal valleys. These anticline hills form watersheds from which drainage patterns emerge. Geologically, the area is occupied by the folded sedimentary formations ranging in age from lower Tertiary to Recent. Of the various groups of rocks found, Tipam sandstones are considered the main producer aquifer. Extensive hydrological surveys carried out by the Central Groundwater Board in almost all the valleys of Tripura revealed three to four major aquifers within 259m in depth. Such thickness varies from valley to valley but decreases considerably in the synclinal valleys of Kamalpur, Kailashsahar and Dharmanagar. The anticlinal hills intervening the synclinal valley not only act as ground water divides but the sandy formations exposed therein act as recharge zone. Since the recharge area lies in the anticlinal hills, favourable artesian conditions occur whenever good thickness of impermeable clay beds underline and overlie the saturated granular zones. Flowing conditions with auto-flow of 100 to 3000 liters per hour are found mainly in the central part of most of the synclinal valley of Tripura.The worthiness of ground water also varies from valley to valley. While in Agratala valley in the west, they are positively potential, it becomes moderate towards Dharmanagar on the north east. Records of the technical details from 15 different locations in four districts indicate that tube-wells have been successfully constructed in all the synclinal valleys of Tripura. Large numbers of shallow tube-wells have been constructed by the State Government at depth of 30m to 60m. In areas fringing the hills (within 2 to 4km), water table generally appear deep and sediments fine, Groundwater structures in such area offered low yields and drawdowns are heavy (Prasad, K.K. 1984, Ground Water Resource of North East India, in Resource Potential of North East India vol. 1: 25-32, Meghalaya Science Society). The shallow aquifer level are normally located within a depth of 50m below ground level (sometime, it may be at 12-20m depth as in Dharmnagar valley or 5-25m in depth as in Kamalpur valley) and the deeper aquifer occur between the depth ranges of 50m to 200m. Recent data in four districts show no decline in groundwater level for 0 to >4m. On the other hand rise in the groundwater level at 0-2m level is noted in 42.11%, at 2-4m level the figure is 57.89% and above 4m level no rise is noted. A total of 19 sampling stations were used to measure the rise and fall of water level during April 1999-August 1999 in Dhalai, North Tripura, South Tripura and West Tripura (Table-1)

The depth of water level in all the four districts show a typical pattern. The water level becomes highest between the month of August and start declining from January to April.
6.1 Ground water quality
The analytical results show that there is no considerable difference between quality of water from shallow and deeper aquifers. Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking and Domestic Use: The pH values of the ground water ranges from 7.14 to 7.90 for shallow aquifer and from 6.36 to 8.19 for deeper aquifer. The BIS (1991) has recommended acceptable range of pH from 9 6.5 to 8.5 for domestic use. The water of the tube well at Panisagar in North Tripura has pH value of 6.36 otherwise all water of the area is acceptable for domestic use in view of pH ranges. Ground water quality in the area is potable and range of all the chemical constituents are within the permissible limit set by BIS (1991), except iron. In shallow aquifer EC values ranges from 75 to 447 and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 105 to 365. Fluoride content in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.03 to 0.39 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.12 to 0.29ppm. The iron concentration in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.06 to 3.93 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.06 to 12.00ppm. During ground water exploration at Panisagar the concentration of iron is found to be 12 ppm.
Suitability of Ground Water for Irrigation Use: In general, ground water in the area is suitable for irrigation purpose, except concentration of iron is higher than permissible limit.
12 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
2.3 Status of ground water development
Hydro-geologically the area is a moderate to good zone for groundwater development. The water table lies between 15 m and 20 m below ground level in the unconsolidated sandy sediments of recent alluvium. Here the groundwater yield is good and can be developed with the use of deep tube wells. The area and blocks water supply is augmented with dug wells, shallow hand pumps and mini deep tube wells. Drinking water supply division, resource water division has taken initiatives and has installed number of tube wells in the area, which are in operation mode. The tube wells are installed with water jet method and rotary rig method (direct/reverse).Static water level is in the range of 10-15m below ground level. Numbers of water ponds are also there which augments village water supply. Rainfall is high in the range of 1800-2000 mm annually. The study area is mostly dominated by dense vegetation.Paddy cultivation is practiced based on the rainfall.
6.3 Water conservation and artificial recharge
In the area scope for artificial recharge is minimal because water level in the major part of the district lies between 2 – 5 m bgl. As the area receives about 2430mm of annual rainfall construction of rainwater harvesting structures are possible. Apart from roof top rainwater harvesting structures small & medium sized check dams can be constructed.
6.4 Ground water related issues and problems
Water Quality problems Ground water of the area is characterized by a generally high iron content which ranges from 0.2 to 12 ppm. The concentration of iron in ground water is generally much above the prescribed desirable limit of 0.3 ppm and maximum permissible of 1 ppm. The iron concentration in water from open well is comparatively less than that of tube wells. This is due to the fact that the scope of aeration is more in open wells allowing the precipitation of ferrous iron as ferric iron. The enrichment of iron in water of the area is due to the ferruginous nature of Tipam sandstones, which forms the major aquifers. The high contents of iron renders ground water unsuitable for drinking purpose, hence the level of concentration should be brought down to the desirable limit before use for drinking purpose, to avoid any health hazards. Drilling Problems In the area shallow tube wells are drilled manually. It is reported that construction of shallow tube wells is difficult in the foothills and hilly areas of the district due to the presence of hard shale.

9.0 Proposals and designing of the drainage system
The following point shall be considered, while planning and designing of the drainage system: The storm water drainage system is proposed to be integrated with a rain water harvesting system to minimize the impact of tapping of ground water as a water supply source and increase in impervious surfaces on the ground water table. Drain should be planned according to the ground levels, slope of the ground, valley and ridges and also the land use planned for urban development. Drains should be planned to get good longitudinal slope, considering the nature of soil, water level. Drainage of large area can be better achieved by subdividing it into small grids to avoid a long main drain. Efficiency in maintenance of drainage system should be an important consideration in selecting the size, (covered or open) shape and the location. The specification of the drain should also aim at preventing the possibility of ingress of other extraneous materials, debris, rubbish, vegetation etc. Where gratings are provided on drains, they should so locate as to attract attention of maintenance staff, easy to approach inspects and clean it.

2.0 Topography
West Tripura District is one of four administrative district of Tripura with its headquarters at Agartala. West Tripura district is Surrounded by Bangladesh in the north and west by North Tripura District in the east and by South Tripura District in the south. Tripura became a full fledged state in January1972.For better attention of problems of land and tenancies,for accelerating thepace of development,Tripura was divided into four districts.Main languages spoken in the district are Bengali Language, Kokborok language and Manipuri language. Geographically the state is a part of Purvanchal (Eastern Montains) and the region represents a low lying plain pierced by a series of low drawn spars projecting from the lugai / Mizor hills. It is actually part of the surma valley, built up by river borne detritus materials. There are six prominent hill ranges running parallel from north to south and keeping an average distance of about 20 kms fromeach other. From East to West these ranges are: Jampui,Kakhautang, Longthorai,Atharamura,Sardaug,Baramura
3.0 Climate
In Bishalgarh , the wet season is hot, oppressive, and mostly cloudy and the dry season is warm and mostly clear. Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 52°F to 91°F and is rarely below 47°F or above 96°F.
4.0 Rainfall
Average annual rainfall in the district is about 2000 mm and the temperature varies between a maximum of 35.23 and a minimum of 7.43 Celsius.
5.0 Existing Site Soil Conditions
In general, soils of the area are acidic in nature. The pH of soil ranges from 5.50 to 5.64. Nitrogen and phosphate is low, available potash is medium to high, calcium, magnesium and sulphur are deficient in these soils. In the area lateritic soil is found in tilla (hilly / small mounds) area, younger soils or river valley soils are found along all major river courses. Clayey soils are found in paddy fields. Apart from these, sandy loam, clayey loam and loamy soils are also available.
6.0 Ground Water Resource
Physiographical, the northeaster region can be subdivided into several units each with distinctive characteristics. Hydrological condition is correlated with geomorphic units, which in turn can provide reliable data on groundwater. The major geomorphic element observed in Tripura is north-south running parallel hill regions and intervening valleys. The hills are tightly folded anticlines with broad synclinal valleys. These anticline hills form watersheds from which drainage patterns emerge. Geologically, the area is occupied by the folded sedimentary formations
10 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
ranging in age from lower Tertiary to Recent. Of the various groups of rocks found, Tipam sandstones are considered the main producer aquifer. Extensive hydrological surveys carried out by the Central Groundwater Board in almost all the valleys of Tripura revealed three to four major aquifers within 259m in depth. Such thickness varies from valley to valley but decreases considerably in the synclinal valleys of Kamalpur, Kailashsahar and Dharmanagar. The anticlinal hills intervening the synclinal valley not only act as ground water divides but the sandy formations exposed therein act as recharge zone. Since the recharge area lies in the anticlinal hills, favourable artesian conditions occur whenever good thickness of impermeable clay beds underline and overlie the saturated granular zones. Flowing conditions with auto-flow of 100 to 3000 liters per hour are found mainly in the central part of most of the synclinal valley of Tripura.The worthiness of ground water also varies from valley to valley. While in Agratala valley in the west, they are positively potential, it becomes moderate towards Dharmanagar on the north east. Records of the technical details from 15 different locations in four districts indicate that tube-wells have been successfully constructed in all the synclinal valleys of Tripura. Large numbers of shallow tube-wells have been constructed by the State Government at depth of 30m to 60m. In areas fringing the hills (within 2 to 4km), water table generally appear deep and sediments fine, Groundwater structures in such area offered low yields and drawdowns are heavy (Prasad, K.K. 1984, Ground Water Resource of North East India, in Resource Potential of North East India vol. 1: 25-32, Meghalaya Science Society). The shallow aquifer level are normally located within a depth of 50m below ground level (sometime, it may be at 12-20m depth as in Dharmnagar valley or 5-25m in depth as in Kamalpur valley) and the deeper aquifer occur between the depth ranges of 50m to 200m. Recent data in four districts show no decline in groundwater level for 0 to >4m. On the other hand rise in the groundwater level at 0-2m level is noted in 42.11%, at 2-4m level the figure is 57.89% and above 4m level no rise is noted. A total of 19 sampling stations were used to measure the rise and fall of water level during April 1999-August 1999 in Dhalai, North Tripura, South Tripura and West Tripura (Table-1) Table : 1 Fall and Rise of water

11 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
The depth of water level in all the four districts show a typical pattern. The water level becomes highest between the month of August and start declining from January to April.
6.1 Ground water quality
The analytical results show that there is no considerable difference between quality of water from shallow and deeper aquifers. Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking and Domestic Use: The pH values of the ground water ranges from 7.14 to 7.90 for shallow aquifer and from 6.36 to 8.19 for deeper aquifer. The BIS (1991) has recommended acceptable range of pH from 9 6.5 to 8.5 for domestic use. The water of the tube well at Panisagar in North Tripura has pH value of 6.36 otherwise all water of the area is acceptable for domestic use in view of pH ranges. Ground water quality in the area is potable and range of all the chemical constituents are within the permissible limit set by BIS (1991), except iron. In shallow aquifer EC values ranges from 75 to 447 and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 105 to 365. Fluoride content in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.03 to 0.39 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.12 to 0.29ppm. The iron concentration in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.06 to 3.93 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.06 to 12.00ppm. During ground water exploration at Panisagar the concentration of iron is found to be 12 ppm.
Suitability of Ground Water for Irrigation Use: In general, ground water in the area is suitable for irrigation purpose, except concentration of iron is higher than permissible limit.
2.3 Status of ground water development
Hydro-geologically the area is a moderate to good zone for groundwater development. The water table lies between 15 m and 20 m below ground level in the unconsolidated sandy sediments of recent alluvium. Here the groundwater yield is good and can be developed with the use of deep tube wells. The area and blocks water supply is augmented with dug wells, shallow hand pumps and mini deep tube wells. Drinking water supply division, resource water division has taken initiatives and has installed number of tube wells in the area, which are in operation mode. The tube wells are installed with water jet method and rotary rig method (direct/reverse).Static water level is in the range of 10-15m below ground level. Numbers of water ponds are also there which augments village water supply. Rainfall is high in the range of 1800-2000 mm annually. The study area is mostly dominated by dense vegetation.Paddy cultivation is practiced based on the rainfall.
6.3 Water conservation and artificial recharge
In the area scope for artificial recharge is minimal because water level in the major part of the district lies between 2 – 5 m bgl. As the area receives about 2430mm of annual rainfall construction of rainwater harvesting structures are possible. Apart from roof top rainwater harvesting structures small & medium sized check dams can be constructed.
6.4 Ground water related issues and problems
12 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
Water Quality problems Ground water of the area is characterized by a generally high iron content which ranges from 0.2 to 12 ppm. The concentration of iron in ground water is generally much above the prescribed desirable limit of 0.3 ppm and maximum permissible of 1 ppm. The iron concentration in water from open well is comparatively less than that of tube wells. This is due to the fact that the scope of aeration is more in open wells allowing the precipitation of ferrous iron as ferric iron. The enrichment of iron in water of the area is due to the ferruginous nature of Tipam sandstones, which forms the major aquifers. The high contents of iron renders ground water unsuitable for drinking purpose, hence the level of concentration should be brought down to the desirable limit before use for drinking purpose, to avoid any health hazards. Drilling Problems In the area shallow tube wells are drilled manually. It is reported that construction of shallow tube wells is difficult in the foothills and hilly areas of the district due to the presence of hard shale.

9.0 Proposals and designing of the drainage system
The following point shall be considered, while planning and designing of the drainage system: The storm water drainage system is proposed to be integrated with a rain water harvesting system to minimize the impact of tapping of ground water as a water supply source and increase in impervious surfaces on the ground water table. Drain should be planned according to the ground levels, slope of the ground, valley and ridges and also the land use planned for urban development. Drains should be planned to get good longitudinal slope, considering the nature of soil, water level. Drainage of large area can be better achieved by subdividing it into small grids to avoid a long main drain. Efficiency in maintenance of drainage system should be an important consideration in selecting the size, (covered or open) shape and the location. The specification of the drain should also aim at preventing the possibility of ingress of other extraneous materials, debris, rubbish, vegetation etc. Where gratings are provided on drains, they should so locate as to attract attention of maintenance staff, easy to approach inspects and clean it. An attempt shall be made in the design to provide higher starting and higher outfall bed levels in drains. A free outfall shall be attempted as far as possible. Design of main drain shall be so made as to allow use of normal methods for desalting operation. Inlets to the drains to be properly designed and located. It is always desirable that run off from the catchment areas outside the city boundary should be taken by suitable drain layout to bypass the township. The design flow will be the runoff from rainfall only.

12.0 Conclusion of Existing Storm water Drainage System
1. In many part of Bishalgarh the drainage system is constructed necessarily by ULB and as per requirement of area for feeding it partially. So that in most area of the city the drainage system shouldn’t carry the rain water in the Rainy season. 2. Drainage network of the Bishalgarh is not constructed properly which causes water logging in many places of the Bishalgarh. 3. Main connectivity of drainage out fall point is not proper due to which the disposal of drainage will not occur and found in some places, where discharge point of drainage system is upto a low lying area at the outer side of city which further will be collected there leading in water logging in several places. 4. There is an irregularity of drain section which is constructed at many places in Bishalgarh. At some places there are bigger section of drains which turns in small section due to which the discharge of drainage may be affected and causes waterlogging. 5. At some places invert level is not proper at junction of drainage network so that there will be a free flow in drainage system, due to which the flow of drain may be obstructed and silted which causes water logging. 6. It is observed that at many places drainage network is dismantled, non-continue and filled with sludge and rubbish. It may cause a non-free flow of drainage system and obstructed free flow of drain. 7. In outer part of Bishalgarh, some people have constructed their own houses in scattered manner without considering the level of road and drain. 8. At the connecting point of drainage the highest flood level of Canal/River/ out fall of drainage may be higher than at the drainage invert level which may causes water logging and stoppage of drainage.

1.3 Topography
The physiography is characterised by hill ranges, valleys and plains. The state has five anticlinal ranges of hills running north to south, from Boromura in the west, through Atharamura, Longtharai and Shakhan, to the Jampui Hills in the east.The intervening synclines are the Agartala–Udaipur, Khowai–Teliamura, Kamalpur–Ambasa, Kailasahar– Manu and Dharmanagar–Kanchanpur valleys. At an altitude of 939 m (3,081 ft), Betling Shib in the Jampui range is the state's highest point. The small isolated hillocks interspersed throughout the state are known as tillas, and the narrow fertile alluvial valleys, mostly present in the west, are called lungas. A number of rivers originate in the hills of Tripura and flow into Bangladesh.The Khowai, Dhalai, Manu, Juri and Longai flow towards the north; the Gumti to the west; and the Muhuri and Feni to the south west.

12.0 Conclusion of Existing Storm water Drainage System
1. In many part of Melaghar the drainage system is constructed necessarily by ULB and as per requirement of area for feeding it partially. So that in most area of the city the drainage system shouldn’t carry the rain water in the Rainy season. 2. Drainage network of the Melaghar is not constructed properly which causes water logging in many places of the Melaghar. 3. Main connectivity of drainage out fall point is not proper due to which the disposal of drainage will not occur and found in some places, where discharge point of drainage system is upto a low lying area at the outer side of city which further will be collected there leading in water logging in several places. 4. There is an irregularity of drain section which is constructed at many places in Melaghar. At some places there are bigger section of drains which turns in small section due to which the discharge of drainage may be affected and causes waterlogging. 5. At some places invert level is not proper at junction of drainage network so that there will be a free flow in drainage system, due to which the flow of drain may be obstructed and silted which causes water logging. 6. It is observed that at many places drainage network is dismantled, non-continue and filled with sludge and rubbish. It may cause a non-free flow of drainage system and obstructed free flow of drain. 7. In outer part of Melaghar, some people have constructed their own houses in scattered manner without considering the level of road and drain. 8. At the connecting point of drainage the highest flood level of Canal/River/ out fall of drainage may be higher than at the drainage invert level which may causes water logging and stoppage of drainage.

2.0 Topography
West Tripura District is one of four administrative district of Tripura with its headquarters at Agartala. West Tripura district is Surrounded by Bangladesh in the north and west by North Tripura District in the east and by South Tripura District in the south. Tripura became a full fledged state in January1972.For better attention of problems of land and tenancies,for accelerating thepace of development,Tripura was divided into four districts.Main languages spoken in the district are Bengali Language, Kokborok language and Manipuri language. Geographically the state is a part of Purvanchal (Eastern Montains) and the region represents a low lying plain pierced by a series of low drawn spars projecting from the lugai / Mizor hills. It is actually part of the surma valley, built up by river borne detritus materials. There are six prominent hill ranges running parallel from north to south and keeping an average distance of about 20 kms fromeach other. From East to West these ranges are: Jampui,Kakhautang, Longthorai,Atharamura,Sardaug,Baramura
3.0 Climate
Sonamura, India visibility is going to be around 10 km i.e. 6 miles and an atmospheric pressure of 1014 mb. The daytime temperature is going to reach 28 °c and the temperature is going to dip to 17 °c at night. It will be dry with no precipitation and cloud covering 6% of the sky, the humidity will be around 41%.
4.0 Rainfall
Average annual rainfall in the district is about 2000 mm and the temperature varies between a maximum of 35.23 and a minimum of 7.43 Celsius.

5.0 Existing Site Soil Conditions
In general, soils of the area are acidic in nature. The pH of soil ranges from 5.50 to 5.64. Nitrogen and phosphate is low, available potash is medium to high, calcium, magnesium and sulphur are deficient in these soils. In the area lateritic soil is found in tilla (hilly / small mounds) area, younger soils or river valley soils are found along all major river courses. Clayey soils are found in paddy fields. Apart from these, sandy loam, clayey loam and loamy soils are also available.
6.0 Ground Water Resource
Physiographical, the northeaster region can be subdivided into several units each with distinctive characteristics. Hydrological condition is correlated with geomorphic units, which in turn can provide reliable data on groundwater. The major geomorphic element observed in Tripura is north-south running parallel hill regions and intervening valleys. The hills are tightly folded anticlines with broad synclinal valleys. These anticline hills form watersheds from which drainage patterns emerge. Geologically, the area is occupied by the folded sedimentary formations ranging in age from lower Tertiary to Recent. Of the various groups of rocks found, Tipam sandstones are considered the main producer aquifer. Extensive hydrological surveys carried out by the Central Groundwater Board in almost all the valleys of Tripura revealed three to four major aquifers within 259m in depth. Such thickness varies from valley to valley but decreases considerably in the synclinal valleys of Kamalpur, Kailashsahar and Dharmanagar. The anticlinal hills intervening the synclinal valley not only act as ground water divides but the sandy formations exposed therein act as recharge zone. Since the recharge area lies in the anticlinal hills, favourable artesian conditions occur whenever good thickness of impermeable clay beds underline and overlie the saturated granular zones. Flowing conditions with auto-flow of 100 to 3000 liters per hour are found mainly in the central part of most of the synclinal valley of Tripura.The worthiness of ground water also varies from valley to valley. While in Agratala valley in the west, they are positively potential, it becomes moderate towards Dharmanagar on the north east. Records of the technical details from 15 different locations in four districts indicate that tube-wells have been successfully constructed in all the synclinal valleys of Tripura. Large numbers of shallow tube-wells have been constructed by the State Government at depth of 30m to 60m. In areas fringing the hills (within 2 to 4km), water table generally appear deep and sediments fine, Groundwater structures in such area offered low yields and drawdowns are heavy (Prasad, K.K. 1984, Ground Water Resource of North East India, in Resource Potential of North East India vol. 1: 25-32, Meghalaya Science Society). The shallow aquifer level are normally located within a depth of 50m below ground level (sometime, it may be at 12-20m depth as in Dharmnagar valley or 5-25m in depth as in Kamalpur valley) and the deeper aquifer occur between the depth ranges of 50m to 200m. Recent data in four districts show no decline in groundwater level for 0 to >4m. On the other hand rise in the groundwater level at 0-2m level is noted in 42.11%, at 2-4m level the figure is 57.89% and above 4m level no rise is noted. A total of 19 sampling stations were used to measure the rise and fall of water level during April 1999-August 1999 in Dhalai, North Tripura, South Tripura and West Tripura (Table-1)

The depth of water level in all the four districts show a typical pattern. The water level becomes highest between the month of August and start declining from January to April.
6.1 Ground water quality
The analytical results show that there is no considerable difference between quality of water from shallow and deeper aquifers. Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking and Domestic Use: The pH values of the ground water ranges from 7.14 to 7.90 for shallow aquifer and from 6.36 to 8.19 for deeper aquifer. The BIS (1991) has recommended acceptable range of pH from 9 6.5 to 8.5 for domestic use. The water of the tube well at Panisagar in North Tripura has pH value of 6.36 otherwise all water of the area is acceptable for domestic use in view of pH ranges. Ground water quality in the area is potable and range of all the chemical constituents are within the permissible limit set by BIS (1991), except iron. In shallow aquifer EC values ranges from 75 to 447 and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 105 to 365. Fluoride content in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.03 to 0.39 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.12 to 0.29ppm. The iron concentration in ground water from shallow aquifer ranges from 0.06 to 3.93 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.06 to 12.00ppm. During ground water exploration at Panisagar the concentration of iron is found to be 12 ppm.
Suitability of Ground Water for Irrigation Use: In general, ground water in the area is suitable for irrigation purpose, except concentration of iron is higher than permissible limit.
13 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
2.3 Status of ground water development
Hydro-geologically the area is a moderate to good zone for groundwater development. The water table lies between 15 m and 20 m below ground level in the unconsolidated sandy sediments of recent alluvium. Here the groundwater yield is good and can be developed with the use of deep tube wells. The area and blocks water supply is augmented with dug wells, shallow hand pumps and mini deep tube wells. Drinking water supply division, resource water division has taken initiatives and has installed number of tube wells in the area, which are in operation mode. The tube wells are installed with water jet method and rotary rig method (direct/reverse).Static water level is in the range of 10-15m below ground level. Numbers of water ponds are also there which augments village water supply. Rainfall is high in the range of 1800-2000 mm annually. The study area is mostly dominated by dense vegetation.Paddy cultivation is practiced based on the rainfall.
6.3 Water conservation and artificial recharge
In the area scope for artificial recharge is minimal because water level in the major part of the district lies between 2 – 5 m bgl. As the area receives about 2430mm of annual rainfall construction of rainwater harvesting structures are possible. Apart from roof top rainwater harvesting structures small & medium sized check dams can be constructed.
6.4 Ground water related issues and problems
Water Quality problems Ground water of the area is characterized by a generally high iron content which ranges from 0.2 to 12 ppm. The concentration of iron in ground water is generally much above the prescribed desirable limit of 0.3 ppm and maximum permissible of 1 ppm. The iron concentration in water from open well is comparatively less than that of tube wells. This is due to the fact that the scope of aeration is more in open wells allowing the precipitation of ferrous iron as ferric iron. The enrichment of iron in water of the area is due to the ferruginous nature of Tipam sandstones, which forms the major aquifers. The high contents of iron renders ground water unsuitable for drinking purpose, hence the level of concentration should be brought down to the desirable limit before use for drinking purpose, to avoid any health hazards. Drilling Problems In the area shallow tube wells are drilled manually. It is reported that construction of shallow tube wells is difficult in the foothills and hilly areas of the district due to the presence of hard shale.

9.0 Proposals and designing of the drainage system
The following point shall be considered, while planning and designing of the drainage system: The storm water drainage system is proposed to be integrated with a rain water harvesting system to minimize the impact of tapping of ground water as a water supply source and increase in impervious surfaces on the ground water table. Drain should be planned according to the ground levels, slope of the ground, valley and ridges and also the land use planned for urban development. Drains should be planned to get good longitudinal slope, considering the nature of soil, water level. Drainage of large area can be better achieved by subdividing it into small grids to avoid a long main drain. Efficiency in maintenance of drainage system should be an important consideration in selecting the size, (covered or open) shape and the location. The specification of the drain should also aim at preventing the possibility of ingress of other extraneous materials, debris, rubbish, vegetation etc. Where gratings are provided on drains, they should so locate as to attract attention of maintenance staff, easy to approach inspects and clean it. An attempt shall be made in the design to provide higher starting and higher outfall bed levels in drains. A free outfall shall be attempted as far as possible.
16 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
Design of main drain shall be so made as to allow use of normal methods for desalting operation. Inlets to the drains to be properly designed and located. It is always desirable that run off from the catchment areas outside the city boundary should be taken by suitable drain layout to bypass the township. The design flow will be the runoff from rainfall only.

2.0 Topography
Physiographically, the area can be divided into two parts, Anticlinal Hill Ranges and Synclinal flat-bottomed valleys. The major hill ranges are Baramura and Atharamura. The trendMof the hill ranges is almost N – S. The height of the hill ranges increases from west to east. The broad synclinal valleys are Udaipur and Amarpur. The valleys are gently undulating with intermittent flood plains of rivers and streams. The undulations formed by 10 to 30 m high mounds with gullies in between them, locally called “loonga.
3.0 Climate
The Udaipur lies on 29m above sea level Udaipur has a tropical climate.This climate is considered to be Aw according to the Köppen- Geiger climate classification. The temperature here averages 25.4 °C | 77.7 °F. In a year, the rainfall is 2020 mm | 79.5 inch.
4.0 Rainfall Figure 13: Average Temperature of Udaipur Summer: Summers in Udaipur gets quite uncomfortable with humidity increasing and temperatures soaring. The summer starts by March and lasts till the end of May and early June. The maximum temperature recorded in Udaipur is 35 degrees Celsius. The humidity makes it difficult to travel around and isn’t the best time to travel to the lake city.
Monsoon: The monsoon months in Udaipur are from May up to October. The south- west monsoons results in rainfall in Udaipur and it starts from mid-May. If you want to visit Udaipur during the monsoons, you have to carry umbrellas with you. Winter: Winters are mild in Udaipur like most of Tripura. The minimum temperature recorded in Udaipur is 7 degrees Celsius. Light woollens as protection are enough to safeguard oneself from the winters here. The winter months lasts from October end to February. It is one of the best times to visit Udaipur.

5.0 Existing Site Soil Conditions
In general, soils of the area are acidic in nature. The pH of soil ranges from 5.50 to 5.68. Nitrogen and phosphate is low, available potash is medium to high, calcium, magnesium and sulphur are deficient in these soils. In the area lateritic soil is found in tilla (hilly / small mounds) area, younger soils or river valley soils are found along all major river courses, clayey soils are found in paddy fields. Apart from these, sandy loam, clayey loam and loamy soils are also available.
6.0 Ground Water Resource
Ground water resources for year 2004-05 were estimated by the GEC’97 methodology. During resource estimation, the smallest administrative unit i.e., Block is taken as the unit of computation. The main source of ground water recharge in the district is precipitation. Other sources of ground water recharge in the area are return flow from irrigation and seepage from ponds / tanks. Recharge from rainfall in the area accounts for 90% of the total annual recharge. Comparison of monsoon and non-monsoon rainfall recharge shows that monsoon recharge accounts for 57% and non-monsoon recharge accounts for 43% of total rainfall recharge. Ground water in the area is mostly used for domestic and irrigational purposes. Groundwater draft for industrial purpose is negligible and has not been considered. Net ground water available in the district is 587.5 mcm and ground water draft for all uses is 41.86 mcm. Ground water draft for irrigation and drinking purposes accounts for 57% and 43% of total ground water draft respectively

11 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
6.1 Ground water quality
The analytical results show that there is no considerable difference between quality of water from shallow and deeper aquifers.
Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking and Domestic Use: Ground water quality in the area is potable and range of all the chemical constituents are within the permissible limit set by BIS (1991), except iron. In phreatic aquifer pH values of the ground water ranges from 6.94 to 7.01 and EC values ranges from 75 to 447. Fluoride content in ground water from phreatic aquifer ranges from BDL to 0.44 ppm. The content of iron in ground water from phreatic aquifer ranges from 0.08 to 0.65 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.50 to 3.66 ppm.
Suitability of Ground Water for Irrigation Use: In general, ground water in the area is suitable for irrigation purpose, except concentration of iron is higher than permissible limit.
6.2 Status of ground water development
Ground water is being developed mostly by construction of deep tube wells, shallow tube wells and RCC wells etc. for drinking, domestic and irrigation purposes. These structures are fitted with suitable pumps, Mark II/III or with ordinary hand pumps for withdrawing ground water. In addition to that, there are more 2000 shallow tube wells which are auto flow in nature drawing ground water in the districts.
Drinking water scenario In urban areas water supply is done mainly from surface water sources, except in Amarpur. But in rural areas, deep tube wells and shallow tube wells fitted with suitable pumps provide drinking water to villagers. Water is being supplied directly from deep tube wells without any treatment and certain places water is supplied after iron removal where ever the iron concentration is beyond permissible limit There are 309 deep tube wells, 38 shallow tube wells 1709 RCC wells in the district. In addition there are 2 surface water treatment plants in the district. As on 31-03-2008, out of 2406 habitations, 971 are fully covered, 718 are partially covered and 717 are uncovered so for.
Irrigation scenario Ground water is being developed for irrigation purposes through deep tubewells, shallow tubewells fitted with pump sets (both electric and diesel pumps) and artesian wells. The use of dug wells for irrigation purpose is negligible. In Bagafa, Satchand Matabari, Kakraban, Killa and 10 Rajnagar blocks some paddy fields are irrigated through artesian wells. The maximum use of ground water for irrigation purposes is in Bagafa block while in Karbook block the use of ground water for irrigation is nil.
6.3 Water conservation and artificial recharge
In the area, the scope for artificial recharge is minimal because water level in the major part of the district lies between 2 – 5 mbgl. As the area receives about 2055mm of annual rainfall construction of rainwater harvesting structures are possible. Apart from roof top rainwater harvesting structures small and medium sized check dams can be constructed.

6.4 Ground water related issues and problems
Water Quality problems Ground water from deeper aquifer of the area is characterized by a generally high iron content which ranges from 0.5 to 3.66 ppm. The concentration of iron in ground water is generally much above the prescribed desirable limit of 0.3 ppm and maximum permissible of 1ppm. The iron concentration in water from open well is comparatively less than that of tubewells. This is due to the fact that the scope of aeration is more in open wells allowing the precipitation of ferrous iron as ferric iron. The enrichment of iron in water of the area is due to the ferruginous nature of Tipam sandstones, which forms the major aquifers. The high contents of iron renders ground water unsuitable for drinking purpose, hence the level of concentration should be brought down to the desirable limit before use for drinking purpose, to avoid any health hazards.
Drilling Problems In the district shallow tubewells are drilled manually. It is reported that construction of shallow tubewells is difficult mainly in the foot-hills and hilly areas of the district due to the presence of hard shale.

Figure 15: Existing condition of drainage system Udaipur The area is currently being utilized for Urban and no instances of large scale flooding have been reported in the recent years. The area is a green field with no formal/manmade storm water drainage system. There are several small to medium sized natural water bodies in the area which serve to collect, store and eventually discharge the rainwater into the tributaries which finally fall into river or percolate the runoff into the ground over a period of time. Proper planning for a storm water drainage system is crucial considering increased runoff as the paved area would increase after the proposed development.
14 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
8.0 Existing Storm water drainage network of Udaipur
8.2 Issues of existing drainage system
The most of the area is semi paved and thus at present, most of the rainfall which falls on this area infiltrates into ground. But once this area is developed, the major portion of the rainfall will not find its way to the underground water and thus get filled in the low lying areas. Therefore, the conveyance of this rainfall to the proper outfall is a necessity.
9.0 Proposals and designing of the drainage system
The following point shall be considered, while planning and designing of the drainage system: The storm water drainage system is proposed to be integrated with a rain water harvesting system to minimize the impact of tapping of ground water as a water supply source and increase in impervious surfaces on the ground water table. Drain should be planned according to the ground levels, slope of the ground, valley and ridges and also the land use planned for urban development. Drains should be planned to get good longitudinal slope, considering the nature of soil, water level. Drainage of large area can be better achieved by subdividing it into small grids to avoid a long main drain.

The specification of the drain should also aim at preventing the possibility of ingress of other extraneous materials, debris, rubbish, vegetation etc. Where gratings are provided on drains, they should so locate as to attract attention of maintenance staff, easy to approach inspects and clean it. An attempt shall be made in the design to provide higher starting and higher outfall bed levels in drains. A free outfall shall be attempted as far as possible. Design of main drain shall be so made as to allow use of normal methods for desalting operation. Inlets to the drains to be properly designed and located. It is always desirable that run off from the catchment areas outside the city boundary should be taken by suitable drain layout to bypass the township. The design flow will be the runoff from rainfall only.

12.0 Conclusion of Existing Storm water Drainage System
1. In many part of Udaipur the drainage system is constructed necessarily by ULB and as per requirement of area for feeding it partially. So that in most area of the city the drainage system shouldn’t carry the rain water in the Rainy season. 2. Drainage network of the Udaipur is not constructed properly which causes water logging in many places of the Udaipur. 3. Main connectivity of drainage out fall point is not proper due to which the disposal of drainage will not occur and found in some places, where discharge point of drainage system is upto a low lying area at the outer side of city which further will be collected there leading in water logging in several places. 4. There is an irregularity of drain section which is constructed at many places in Udaipur. At some places there are bigger section of drains which turns in small

section due to which the discharge of drainage may be affected and causes waterlogging. 5. At some places invert level is not proper at junction of drainage network so that there will be a free flow in drainage system, due to which the flow of drain may be obstructed and silted which causes water logging. 6. It is observed that at many places drainage network is dismantled, non-continue and filled with sludge and rubbish. It may cause a non-free flow of drainage system and obstructed free flow of drain. 7. In outer part of Udaipur, some people have constructed their own houses in scattered manner without considering the level of road and drain. 8. At the connecting point of drainage the highest flood level of Canal/River/ out fall of drainage may be higher than at the drainage invert level which may causes water logging and stoppage of drainage.

2.0 Topography
Physiographically, the area can be divided into two parts, Anticlinal Hill Ranges and Synclinal flat-bottomed valleys. The major hill ranges are Baramura and Atharamura. The trendMof the hill ranges is almost N – S. The height of the hill ranges increases from west to east. The broad synclinal valleys are Udaipur and Amarpur. The valleys are gently undulating with intermittent flood plains of rivers and streams. The undulations formed by 10 to 30 m high mounds with gullies in between them, locally called “loonga.
3.0 Climate
The temperatures are highest on average in May, at around 28.2 °C | 82.8 °F. January is the coldest month, with temperatures averaging 18.9 °C | 66.0 °F.

5.0 Existing Site Soil Conditions
In general, soils of the area are acidic in nature. The pH of soil ranges from 5.50 to 5.68. Nitrogen and phosphate is low, available potash is medium to high, calcium, magnesium and sulphur are deficient in these soils. In the area lateritic soil is found in tilla (hilly / small mounds) area, younger soils or river valley soils are found along all major river courses, clayey soils are found in paddy fields. Apart from these, sandy loam, clayey loam and loamy soils are also available.
6.0 Ground Water Resource
Ground water resources for year 2004-05 were estimated by the GEC’97 methodology. During resource estimation, the smallest administrative unit i.e., Block is taken as the unit of computation. The main source of ground water recharge in the district is precipitation. Other sources of ground water recharge in the area are return flow from irrigation and seepage from ponds / tanks. Recharge from rainfall in the area accounts for 90% of the total annual recharge. Comparison of monsoon and non-monsoon rainfall recharge shows that monsoon recharge accounts for 57% and non-monsoon recharge accounts for 43% of total rainfall recharge. Ground water in the area is mostly used for domestic and irrigational purposes. Groundwater draft for industrial purpose is negligible and has not been considered. Net ground water available in the district is 587.5 mcm and ground water draft for all uses is 41.86 mcm. Ground water draft for irrigation and drinking purposes accounts for 57% and 43% of total ground water draft respectively

The depth of water level in all the four districts show a typical pattern. The water level becomes highest between the month of August and start declining from January to April.
6.1 Ground water quality
The analytical results show that there is no considerable difference between quality of water from shallow and deeper aquifers.
Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking and Domestic Use: Ground water quality in the area is potable and range of all the chemical constituents are within the permissible limit set by BIS (1991), except iron. In phreatic aquifer pH values of the ground water ranges from 6.94 to 7.01 and EC values ranges from 75 to 447. Fluoride content in ground water from phreatic aquifer ranges from BDL to 0.44 ppm. The content of iron in ground water from phreatic aquifer ranges from 0.08 to 0.65 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.50 to 3.66 ppm.
Suitability of Ground Water for Irrigation Use: In general, ground water in the area is suitable for irrigation purpose, except concentration of iron is higher than permissible limit.
6.2 Status of ground water development
Ground water is being developed mostly by construction of deep tube wells, shallow tube wells and RCC wells etc. for drinking, domestic and irrigation purposes. These structures are fitted with suitable pumps, Mark II/III or with ordinary hand pumps for withdrawing ground water. In addition to that, there are more 2000 shallow tube wells which are auto flow in nature drawing ground water in the districts.
12 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
Drinking water scenario In urban areas water supply is done mainly from surface water sources, except in Amarpur. But in rural areas, deep tube wells and shallow tube wells fitted with suitable pumps provide drinking water to villagers. Water is being supplied directly from deep tube wells without any treatment and certain places water is supplied after iron removal where ever the iron concentration is beyond permissible limit There are 309 deep tube wells, 38 shallow tube wells 1709 RCC wells in the district. In addition there are 2 surface water treatment plants in the district. As on 31-03-2008, out of 2406 habitations, 971 are fully covered, 718 are partially covered and 717 are uncovered so for.
Irrigation scenario Ground water is being developed for irrigation purposes through deep tubewells, shallow tubewells fitted with pump sets (both electric and diesel pumps) and artesian wells. The use of dug wells for irrigation purpose is negligible. In Bagafa, Satchand Matabari, Kakraban, Killa and 10 Rajnagar blocks some paddy fields are irrigated through artesian wells. The maximum use of ground water for irrigation purposes is in Bagafa block while in Karbook block the use of ground water for irrigation is nil.
6.3 Water conservation and artificial recharge
In the area, the scope for artificial recharge is minimal because water level in the major part of the district lies between 2 – 5 mbgl. As the area receives about 2055mm of annual rainfall construction of rainwater harvesting structures are possible. Apart from roof top rainwater harvesting structures small and medium sized check dams can be constructed.
6.4 Ground water related issues and problems
Water Quality problems Ground water from deeper aquifer of the area is characterized by a generally high iron content which ranges from 0.5 to 3.66 ppm. The concentration of iron in ground water is generally much above the prescribed desirable limit of 0.3 ppm and maximum permissible of 1ppm. The iron concentration in water from open well is comparatively less than that of tubewells. This is due to the fact that the scope of aeration is more in open wells allowing the precipitation of ferrous iron as ferric iron. The enrichment of iron in water of the area is due to the ferruginous nature of Tipam sandstones, which forms the major aquifers. The high contents of iron renders ground water unsuitable for drinking purpose, hence the level of concentration should be brought down to the desirable limit before use for drinking purpose, to avoid any health hazards.
Drilling Problems In the district shallow tubewells are drilled manually. It is reported that construction of shallow tubewells is difficult mainly in the foot-hills and hilly areas of the district due to the presence of hard shale.

9.0 Proposals and designing of the drainage system
The following point shall be considered, while planning and designing of the drainage system: The storm water drainage system is proposed to be integrated with a rain water harvesting system to minimize the impact of tapping of ground water as a water supply source and increase in impervious surfaces on the ground water table. Drain should be planned according to the ground levels, slope of the ground, valley and ridges and also the land use planned for urban development. Drains should be planned to get good longitudinal slope, considering the nature of soil, water level. Drainage of large area can be better achieved by subdividing it into small grids to avoid a long main drain. Efficiency in maintenance of drainage system should be an important consideration in selecting the size, (covered or open) shape and the location. The specification of the drain should also aim at preventing the possibility of ingress of other extraneous materials, debris, rubbish, vegetation etc. Where gratings are provided on drains, they should so locate as to attract attention of maintenance staff, easy to approach inspects and clean it. An attempt shall be made in the design to provide higher starting and higher outfall bed levels in drains. A free outfall shall be attempted as far as possible.

2.0 Topography
Physiographically, the area can be divided into two parts, Anticlinal Hill Ranges and Synclinal flat-bottomed valleys. The major hill ranges are Baramura and Atharamura. The trendMof the hill ranges is almost N – S. The height of the hill ranges increases from west to east. The broad synclinal valleys are Udaipur and Amarpur. The valleys are gently undulating with intermittent flood plains of rivers and streams. The undulations formed by 10 to 30 m high mounds with gullies in between them, locally called “loonga.
3.0 Climate
The Belonia lies on 20m above sea level The climate is tropical in Belonia. The summers here have a good deal of rainfall, while the winters have very little. This location is classified as Aw by Köppen and Geiger. The average temperature in Belonia is 25.5 °C | 77.9 °F. In a year, the rainfall is 2418 mm | 95.2 inch.

5.0 Existing Site Soil Conditions
In general, soils of the area are acidic in nature. The pH of soil ranges from 5.50 to 5.68. Nitrogen and phosphate is low, available potash is medium to high, calcium, magnesium and sulphur are deficient in these soils. In the area lateritic soil is found in tilla (hilly / small mounds) area, younger soils or river valley soils are found along all major river courses, clayey soils are found in paddy fields. Apart from these, sandy loam, clayey loam and loamy soils are also available.
6.0 Ground Water Resource
Ground water resources for year 2004-05 were estimated by the GEC’97 methodology. During resource estimation, the smallest administrative unit i.e., Block is taken as the unit of computation. The main source of ground water recharge in the district is precipitation. Other sources of ground water recharge in the area are return flow from irrigation and seepage from ponds / tanks. Recharge from rainfall in the area accounts for 90% of the total annual recharge. Comparison of monsoon and non-monsoon rainfall recharge shows that monsoon recharge accounts for 57% and non-monsoon recharge accounts for 43% of total rainfall recharge. Ground water in the area is mostly used for domestic and irrigational purposes. Groundwater draft for industrial purpose is negligible and has not been considered. Net ground water available in the district is 587.5 mcm and ground water draft for all uses is 41.86 mcm. Ground water draft for irrigation and drinking purposes accounts for 57% and 43% of total ground water draft respectively

The depth of water level in all the four districts show a typical pattern. The water level becomes highest between the month of August and start declining from January to April.
11 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
6.1 Ground water quality
The analytical results show that there is no considerable difference between quality of water from shallow and deeper aquifers.
Suitability of Ground Water for Drinking and Domestic Use: Ground water quality in the area is potable and range of all the chemical constituents are within the permissible limit set by BIS (1991), except iron. In phreatic aquifer pH values of the ground water ranges from 6.94 to 7.01 and EC values ranges from 75 to 447. Fluoride content in ground water from phreatic aquifer ranges from BDL to 0.44 ppm. The content of iron in ground water from phreatic aquifer ranges from 0.08 to 0.65 ppm and in deeper aquifer it ranges from 0.50 to 3.66 ppm.
Suitability of Ground Water for Irrigation Use: In general, ground water in the area is suitable for irrigation purpose, except concentration of iron is higher than permissible limit.
6.2 Status of ground water development
Ground water is being developed mostly by construction of deep tube wells, shallow tube wells and RCC wells etc. for drinking, domestic and irrigation purposes. These structures are fitted with suitable pumps, Mark II/III or with ordinary hand pumps for withdrawing ground water. In addition to that, there are more 2000 shallow tube wells which are auto flow in nature drawing ground water in the districts.
Drinking water scenario In urban areas water supply is done mainly from surface water sources, except in Amarpur. But in rural areas, deep tube wells and shallow tube wells fitted with suitable pumps provide drinking water to villagers. Water is being supplied directly from deep tube wells without any treatment and certain places water is supplied after iron removal where ever the iron concentration is beyond permissible limit There are 309 deep tube wells, 38 shallow tube wells 1709 RCC wells in the district. In addition there are 2 surface water treatment plants in the district. As on 31-03-2008, out of 2406 habitations, 971 are fully covered, 718 are partially covered and 717 are uncovered so for.
Irrigation scenario Ground water is being developed for irrigation purposes through deep tubewells, shallow tubewells fitted with pump sets (both electric and diesel pumps) and artesian wells. The use of dug wells for irrigation purpose is negligible. In Bagafa, Satchand Matabari, Kakraban, Killa and 10 Rajnagar blocks some paddy fields are irrigated through artesian wells. The maximum use of ground water for irrigation purposes is in Bagafa block while in Karbook block the use of ground water for irrigation is nil.
6.3 Water conservation and artificial recharge
In the area, the scope for artificial recharge is minimal because water level in the major part of the district lies between 2 – 5 mbgl. As the area receives about 2055mm of annual rainfall construction of rainwater harvesting structures are possible. Apart from roof top rainwater harvesting structures small and medium sized check dams can be constructed.
12 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
6.4 Ground water related issues and problems
Water Quality problems Ground water from deeper aquifer of the area is characterized by a generally high iron content which ranges from 0.5 to 3.66 ppm. The concentration of iron in ground water is generally much above the prescribed desirable limit of 0.3 ppm and maximum permissible of 1ppm. The iron concentration in water from open well is comparatively less than that of tubewells. This is due to the fact that the scope of aeration is more in open wells allowing the precipitation of ferrous iron as ferric iron. The enrichment of iron in water of the area is due to the ferruginous nature of Tipam sandstones, which forms the major aquifers. The high contents of iron renders ground water unsuitable for drinking purpose, hence the level of concentration should be brought down to the desirable limit before use for drinking purpose, to avoid any health hazards.
Drilling Problems In the district shallow tubewells are drilled manually. It is reported that construction of shallow tubewells is difficult mainly in the foot-hills and hilly areas of the district due to the presence of hard shale.

8.1 Issues of existing drainage system
The most of the area is semi paved and thus at present, most of the rainfall which falls on this area infiltrates into ground. But once this area is developed, the major portion of the rainfall will not find its way to the underground water and thus get filled in the low lying areas. Therefore, the conveyance of this rainfall to the proper outfall is a necessity.
9.0 Proposals and designing of the drainage system
The following point shall be considered, while planning and designing of the drainage system: The storm water drainage system is proposed to be integrated with a rain water harvesting system to minimize the impact of tapping of ground water as a water supply source and increase in impervious surfaces on the ground water table. Drain should be planned according to the ground levels, slope of the ground, valley and ridges and also the land use planned for urban development. Drains should be planned to get good longitudinal slope, considering the nature of soil, water level. Drainage of large area can be better achieved by subdividing it into small grids to avoid a long main drain.
15 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
Efficiency in maintenance of drainage system should be an important consideration in selecting the size, (covered or open) shape and the location. The specification of the drain should also aim at preventing the possibility of ingress of other extraneous materials, debris, rubbish, vegetation etc. Where gratings are provided on drains, they should so locate as to attract attention of maintenance staff, easy to approach inspects and clean it. An attempt shall be made in the design to provide higher starting and higher outfall bed levels in drains. A free outfall shall be attempted as far as possible. Design of main drain shall be so made as to allow use of normal methods for desalting operation. Inlets to the drains to be properly designed and located. It is always desirable that run off from the catchment areas outside the city boundary should be taken by suitable drain layout to bypass the township. The design flow will be the runoff from rainfall only.

12.0 Conclusion of Existing Storm water Drainage System
1. In many part of Belonia the drainage system is constructed necessarily by ULB and as per requirement of area for feeding it partially. So that in most area of the city the drainage system shouldn’t carry the rain water in the Rainy season. 2. Drainage network of the Belonia is not constructed properly which causes water logging in many places of the Belonia. 3. Main connectivity of drainage out fall point is not proper due to which the disposal of drainage will not occur and found in some places, where discharge point of drainage system is upto a low lying area at the outer side of city which further will be collected there leading in water logging in several places. 4. There is an irregularity of drain section which is constructed at many places in Belonia. At some places there are bigger section of drains which turns in small section due to which the discharge of drainage may be affected and causes waterlogging.
16 Conceptual Storm water Management Plan Report
5. At some places invert level is not proper at junction of drainage network so that there will be a free flow in drainage system, due to which the flow of drain may be obstructed and silted which causes water logging. 6. It is observed that at many places drainage network is dismantled, non-continue and filled with sludge and rubbish. It may cause a non-free flow of drainage system and obstructed free flow of drain. 7. In outer part of Belonia, some people have constructed their own houses in scattered manner without considering the level of road and drain. 8. At the connecting point of drainage the highest flood level of Canal/River/ out fall of drainage may be higher than at the drainage invert level which may causes water logging and stoppage of drainage.

The area is a green field with no formal/manmade storm water drainage system. There are several small to medium sized natural water bodies in the area which serve to collect, store and eventually discharge the rainwater into the tributaries which finally fall into river or percolate the runoff into the ground over a period of time. Proper planning for a storm water drainage system is crucial considering increased runoff as the paved area would increase after the proposed development.
