PHED Assam Goes High Tech: Comprising Two Independent Zones (Zone I & Zone II) Was Conceived by PHED Introduces SCADA Assam A quarterly newsletter on water and sanitation in India Vol II Issue 1 In 2008–09, a multi-village scheme PHED Assam Goes High Tech: comprising two independent zones (Zone I & Zone II) was conceived by PHED Introduces SCADA Assam. The scheme was planned to cover 506 habitations with 1,40,769 people The introduction of SCADA, an innovative system to operate spread over 17 Gram Panchayats (GPs) the entire water supply system for the very first time in of Titabor Development Block in Jorhat district, well known for tea gardens and north-east India, in Jorhat district, has enhanced the efficient rice cultivation. The project cost was management of rural drinking water supply in the region around `9,81,858 crore for both the Zones. During the selection of suitable rapid assessment of water quality PHED considered surface and sustainable intake sources, separately for two zones, and design of such a large A status, followed by a three-tier sources as the most viable arsenic screening and surveillance pumping mains and pumping distribution in different districts, found that the and sustainable solution for a system (the length of the CW pumping Jorhat district of northern Assam large number of habitations main being 119.50 km in Zone I and was experiencing substantive arsenic rather than alternative 130.29 km in Zone II), the expertise of the Indian Institute of Technology contamination above the Bureau of groundwater sources Indian Standards (BIS) permissible (IIT), Guwahati, State Water Sources level of 50 parts per billion (ppb). The Department, was utilised. Public Health Engineering Department (PHED), Assam, took serious note of the situation and plunged into action. To address the emerging challenge, PHED Contents considered surface sources as the most viable and sustainable solution for a large number of habitations rather than alternative groundwater sources. 9 INNOVatiON: ESCOs Show the Way SPOTLIGHT: Convergence of 16 Resources Accelerates Sustainable Development 22 CAMpaigN: Gangadevipalli: An Icon of Sustainable Development in Water and Sanitation CAMpaigN: Finding a Long-term 27 Jorhat district, northern Assam Solution for Arsenic Contamination 1 SCADA, an innovative system to control water pumps INNOVatiON leakage point in the network can How SCADA Works be easily detected for rectification. The auto control system in the Through the internet, one person can operate the entire constituent scheme to regulate the water supply system entry of water consists of a water level indicator within the reservoir, the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) t is significant to mention that, at the river intakes and WTPs. Entry of panel, MOV, power inverter and Ifor the first time in the history treated water from the two underground connecting cables. The water level of the north-east, PHED, Assam, reservoirs of the two WTPs to the 100 indicator in the reservoir signals the introduced SCADA (Supervisory remote constituent schemes can be quantity of water in the reservoir to Control And Data Acquisition) controlled by motor operated valves the RTU panel and the automatic technology in Jorhat. Through the (MOVs) installed with the pumps of RTU panel commands the MOV internet, one authorised person each of the 100 reservoirs installed to close or open the pump as can operate the entire water supply therein. By inserting pressure meters required. The power inverter system (WSS) to control the pumps in the pumping networks, any fault or provides uninterrupted power to all circuits. The SCADA system can be operated from anywhere by installing the software on a desktop or laptop or smartphone with legal authorisation. An authorised trained person operates the system in WTP of Zone I and Zone II. In addition, the Superintending Engineer (SE), Jorhat Division, has the software installed on his laptop, with the help of which he can monitor the network in Zone I and Zone II and instruct the concerned person accordingly. Using SCADA technology in Jorhat 2 There were inevitable initial hurdles in the selection of intake, design, tendering process, selection of habitations, land acquisition, permission for road cutting, railway crossings, etc., which caused some delay in commencement of works in the field. Finally, the mega project with the first ever use of SCADA technology, could be completed within a record period of just 18 months since the commencement of work, another feather in the cap of PHED, Assam.

  • Manual Integrated Village Planning and Development
    Manual Integrated Village Planning and Development Lessons from Hiware Bazar, Gangadevapalli, Ramachandrapuram and Piplantri Gram Panchayats Government of India MINISTRY OF PANCHAYATI RAJ You cannot build nonviolence on a factory civilization, but it can be built on self-contained villages. – M.K. Gandhi Mind of Mahatma Gandhi (Ed. Prabhu & Rao), 3rd ed, Ahmedabad: Navajivan Publishing House, 1968. Message The development works at the Gram Panchayat (GP) or village level are often driven by the line departments as per the constraints of various development schemes. Participatory village planning and development are generally lacking across the country in spite of the Constitutional Provisions to promote the same through the Gram Sabhs and Gram Panchayats. While there are many examples where some good work has happened in one sector or the other, it is rare when we come across examples where holistic development has taken place with community participation through the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs). In this context, Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MoPR) undertook a study with the intention to capture the planning and development management processes in select best performing GPs and to prepare a step by step manual to manage GP and village level planning and development. The study covers four Gram Panchayats including Hiware Bazar (Maharashtra), Gangadevipalli (Andhra Pradesh), Ramachandrapuram (Andhra Pradesh) and Piplantri (Rajasthan) which have earned a reputation for themselves as model panchayats with multi-faceted development. Initially, the study was launched to capture in detail the planning processes followed in Hiware Bazar only, however, later on other three GPs were also included for wider understanding of the processes used in participatory planning and micro level development in these GPs.
