Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved the Assam Urban Infrastructure Investment Program (AUIIP), a $200 million Multi-Tranche Financing Facility (MFF) on 20th September 2011, to improve water supply of South Guwahati East Zone1 as well as drainage and solid waste management (SWM) of Dibrugarh 2 . AUIIP will also provide support for ongoing urban reforms and associated capacity development for improved service delivery, urban governance and financial management in Guwahati and Dibrugarh. Loan 2806-IND: AUIIP-Tranche 1 for $81 million was approved on 18 November 2011, signed on 9 March 2012 and declared effective on 25 April 2012. On March 2014, $20 million and in September 2016, $10 million of Tranche 1 was cancelled and reallocated to the MFF pool. After that Tranche 1 (Project 1) stands at $51 million. The original loan closing date was 30 June 2018. The loan closing date has been extended till 29 June 2021. 2. Project 1 contains various sub-projects which are (i) 2 sub projects on Water Supply System in South East Guwahati (ii) 1 sub project on Storm Water drainage in Dibrugarh and (iii) 4 sub projects on Solid Waste Management in Dibrugarh. 3. The Government of Assam’s Guwahati Development Department (GDD) is the executing agency. A state-level PMU, headed by a Project Director (PD), established as the Implementing Agency which is in-charge of overall execution and technical supervision, monitoring, and financial control of all activities under the project. Project Implementation Units (PIUs) dedicated exclusively to the project set up in Guwahati and Dibrugarh. The PIUs headed by a senior technical officer and assisted by qualified and experienced officers seconded from ULBs, finance and other line departments. The PIUs responsible for the day-to-day activities of project implementation in the field and under the direct administrative control of the PMU. 4. The Safeguards implementation Arrangement of AUIIP includes full time Environmental Specialist and Resettlement Specialist in PMU Guwahati and PIU Dibrugarh to monitor the projects in both the cities. The PMU assisted by the Design Management Supervision Consultant (DMSC).An Environment Specialist as part of the DMSC team is to assist the PMU in updating the IEE during detailed design stage, implementation (as per requirement) and monitoring of the subproject’s EMP during the construction stage. ADB will review and approve all final IEEs prior to contract award. 5. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of its operations, and the requirements for environmental assessment are described in ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009 and Public Communication Policy 2011. According to the SPS, environmental assessment is required for all subprojects under a MFF modality. 6. The overall investments under AUIIP in Guwahati is aimed at providing improved quality and regular 24 hours a day water supply to about 5,10,000 residents in the south- eastern zone of Guwahati by 20303.This will involve 1) Expanding water production capacity through water intake works, 98million liters per day (MLD) water treatment plant (expected to 1 Guwahati has been divided into four water supply zones; one north of the Brahmaputra river and three to the south. In south Guwahati, the west zone is being financed under Jawaharlal Nehru National Renewal Mission (JNNURM), the central zone by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and the east zone has been identified for ADB assistance. 2 Dibrugarh suffers from prolonged local flooding during the annual monsoon. Because of the lack of sewerage and inadequate solid waste management much of the areas in the city’s drainage system becomes choked and severely polluted with un- treated wastewater. 3The Guwahati water supply sub project ensures piped water supply 24 hours a day for nearly 5,10,000 people (by 2030) who presently depend on bore wells and water tankers which would adversely impact the ground water table in the long run and cause negative impacts on the micro-climate of the city. The assured piped water supply to individual houses when the project is completed will reduce wastage of water and transportation of water by tankers and indirectly help climate change in a positive way. 1 be considered under proposed AUIIP II4), clear water pumping and primary transmission mains, new distribution systems (expected to be considered under proposed AUIIP II), six water storage reservoirs (3 of them are expected to be considered under proposed AUIIP II) and machinery; and installing bulk and consumer meters. 5 Installation of 100% new distribution pipes; limiting NRW to 15% as per the Ministry of Urban Development’s (MOUD’s) benchmark of 15% and the move from flat to volumetric rate tariffs will result in effective demand management and water conservation.

    International Journal of Interdisciplinary Research in Science Society and Culture(IJIRSSC) Vol: 1, No.:1, 2015 ISSN 2395-4335, © IJIRSSC www. ijirssc.in ________________________________-________________ Population Growth and Forest Degradation in Guwahati City: A GIS Based Approach 1 Rinku Manta , 2 Dhrubajyoti Rajbangshi 1Research Scholar, Geography Department, Gauhati University, Assam ,India 2Assistant Professor, Guwahati College, Guwahati-21, Assam, India ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT : Being the prime city in the north eastern part of India, the pressure of population growth in the Guwahati city is very high compared to other cities of developing nations. In last few decades, due to ever increasing anthropogenic activities, the city is facing many geo-ecological problems. Naturally the physiographic conditions have cumulative effect on the growth and distribution of population and settlement pattern. This city has been characterized by a complex pattern of human habitation of as many as 809,895 populations within 216 sq. km. geographical area in 2001. The physiography of the area is not plain one and 20 numbers of small and big hillocks are found covered with forest which has great impact on keeping the city pollution free environment with healthy ecological balance. Among these hillocks 9 are identified as a reserve forest. Due to population pressure large number of encroachment and deforestation has been seen, resulting squeezes the area of the hillocks. The study is based on primary and secondary data collected from different sources. The collected data are analyzed through GIS software to find the output explicitly. Therefore, an attempt has been made in this paper to analyze the population pressure, changing forest dynamics and its related phenomena and encroachment pattern in the study area.
