The Karnataka Integrated Urban Water Management Investment Programme (KIUWMIP) aims to improve the level, quality and sustainability of basic water supply services in selected urban local bodies (ULBs), contributing to improved quality of life among the urban poor. KIUWMIP will be implemented over a period of 8 years (four years for Tranche 1) beginning in 2014, and will be funded by a loan via the Multi-tranche Financing Facility (MFF) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). 2. Harihar 24x7 water supply project is one of the projects proposed in Tranche-1 towns viz., Harihar, Davanagere, Byadagi and Ranebennur. Water supply is currently intermittent and suffers with huge losses and quality issues. ADB requires the consideration of environmental issues in all aspects of the Bank’s operations, and the requirements for Environmental Assessment are described in ADB’s SPS (2009).
