  • WATERGY CASE STUDY Pune, India
    Alliance to Save Energy WATERGY CASE STUDY Pune, India BACKGROUND Indian municipalities continue to face the challenges of a Key Results growing population, urban expansion, increasing power Energy Savings: 3.8 million kWh/year tariffs and acute water shortages. At present only about two- thirds of the urban population has direct access to clean, Cost Savings: US$336,000/year affordable, reliable drinking water service. At the same time, Water pumped: 10% more water municipal water utilities in India spend upwards of 60 delivered to the community with no percent of their budget on energy for water pumping. The additional new capacity Alliance to Save Energy has found that savings of at least 20% are typically available from no- and low-cost efficiency CO2 Emissions Avoided: measures made in municipal water utilities, with much more 38,000 tonnes/year possible with higher cost measures. Pune lies in western Maharashtra, the second largest city in the state after Mumbai with a population of over 3.5 million. The Alliance began its Watergy Program in India by partnering with Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) in 1997. The Alliance conducted an energy audit on the Cantonment Water Works, and PMC implemented the suggested low-cost measures in 2000. The savings totaled 4,230,000 kWh with an average payback of 16 months. However, the project came to a standstill due to various reasons in 2000 and resumed after 2004 when PMC came under new administration and rekindled its partnership with the Alliance. This case study describes only the second phase of the Pune water efficiency effort, implemented in 2005 and 2006.

    IJIRST –International Journal for Innovative Research in Science & Technology| Volume 2 | Issue 12 | May 2016 ISSN (online): 2349-6010 Sufficiency Evaluation of Pune Metro Rail Networks Akshay Salunke Suraj Alhat Student Student Department of Civil Engineering Department of Civil Engineering Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering Nigdi, Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering Nigdi, Maharashtra, India Maharashtra, India Mayur Dalvi Suraj Dubal Student Student Department of Civil Engineering Department of Civil Engineering Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering Nigdi, Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering Nigdi, Maharashtra, India Maharashtra, India Abstract As India is one of the fastest developing country in world the metro rail network plays an important role in cities transport system so it is now need of future to have an efficient and well effective metro rail network in city. The objective of this research is a preliminary examination of metro rail network extensiveness versus the city’s needs, aiming to assist the estimation of the adequacy of a metro network. This study is concentrated on comparing mature metro system in several large European cities with Indian cities based on a selection of indicators relating metro network characteristics i.e. Length and no. of stations, city characteristics eg. Population and density. A methodology exploiting these macroscopic characteristics in a strategic planning context was developed and a combination of related indicators is proposed. This methodology is applied for the estimation of the degree of adequacy of the current Athens, Greece metro network in a relation to city’s needs. Findings indicate that the Athens metro network cannot be yet characterized as adequate and specific proposals are made in terms of future network extensions.

This project is part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI) contents contents What is People Near Transit? 3 Comparison with Best 29 1 Practices Who benefits? 3 4 Highlights of the Pune PNT 8 Analysis 5 Recommendations 30 About Pune and 9 2 Pimpri-Chinchwad How the twin cities commute? 11 6 Glossary 31 3 Pune PNT Analysis 13 Density Distribution 13 People near Bus Transit 15 People near Frequent Transit 17 People near Rapid Transit 19 Notified Slums near Frequent 21 Transit School Children near Frequent 23 Transit Employment Centres near Frequent 25 Transit Frequency Heat Map of PMPML 27 Service 1 2 1 What is People Near Transit? In an urban environment, access to any form of transit within a comfortable walking distance is critical for the selection of a mode of transportation. The lack of walkability to public transport, along with the deficiency of other vital factors like frequency and safety, often result in people shifting towards unsustainable transport modes like personal motor vehicles. People near Transit (PNT) is an effective proxy indicator to measure how well a city provides transit access to its residents. It aids in assessing urban transport systems and services while exposing the accessibility gaps in the existing systems. Furthermore, the analysis facilitates the integration of land use and transportation, while providing guidance on the planning of future transit corridors with better frequencies.
