4. e The
Charting our Water Future” looks at four case studies: China,
Brazil (Sao Paulo), India and South Africa. Below is each
countries projected water consumption
Country Current Demand in
Supply* 2030*
China 618 818
Brazil 18.7 20.2
India 740 1500
South Africa 15 17.7
*Billions of meters cubed
5. The challenges before
BWSSB
a) Diminishing water resources (Arkavathi source)
b) Increased Water Demand
c) Inequitable distribution
d) Water Quality (catchment to consumer)
e) Aged Assets
f) High level of NRW (Non Revenue Water)
g) Water Security
h) Climate change and it’s impact on water resources
i) Aged sewer age system
j) Revision of tariff
k) New water resources for augmenting
l) Capacity building

BEYOND CWSS WHAT NEXT ?
8. Population of Bengaluru has crossed 1.00 crore
and is still increaseing very badly
Old resources are completely non dependent ie
Hessaragatta & TG hally under Arkavathy
river
Water allocation to Bangalore from Cauvery is
only 1-85 tmc But GOK has alloted additional
17 tmc from it’sallocation
Ground water situation is very bad , water
table depleting 1-2m every year
13. Loss of water from intake
to treatment plant
Loss of water in treatment
process
Loss of water in
transmission mains
Loss of water in
distribution mains (trunk,
feeder, distribution,
service mains) due to
ageing, corrosion, bursts,
damage, etc.
Loss of water due to
illegal connection, meter
tampering etc
17. RECENTLY INSTALLED RECYCLING PLANT AT
BANGALORE (UNDER PRIVATE SECTOR)
Name & Location of Capacity of Proposed for which Status
the plant the plant recycled water to be
used
1. Bangalore Golf 1.00 Water for Lawns and Functioning from
Club MLD other non potable use last 14 years
2. Lalbagh 1.50 Water for Lawns and Functioning from
MLD to replenish water to last 7 years
the Lalbagh lake
3. Karnataka Golf 1.50 Water for Lawns and Functioning from
Club MLD other non potable use last 10 years
4. Cubbon Park 1-50 Water for Lawns of
MLD Vidhanasoudha Functioning from
Cubbon Park and last 6years
other non potable use
19. Wash laundry & dishes
with full loads
Always turn off running
water
Take shorter showers
Eliminate any and all leaks
Reduce the flow of toilets &
showerheads
21. Zero discharge of sewage into Storm Water
Drain
In view of various Technical, social, institutions problems, present the
sewage generated in the city is not conveyed to sewage treatment plat
even though there is adequate treatment capacity of STP’s inside the
BMA area.
K & C Valley STP diffused aeration 30 MLD STP at K & C Valley
pump
22. 1. Inadequate carrying capacity
2. Corroded & damaged sewers
3. Sewers with reverse / flat gradient
4. Sewers not linked to system
5. Sewers not provided in certain areas
6. Sewers displaced during floods
7. Sewers connected to drains directly
8. Manholes damaged for irrigation
9. Manholes overflowing due to blockage by the solid
wastes dumped into manholes
10. Manholes and sewers encroached
23. Zero Discharge of Raw Sewage into Storm Water
Drains
Clean living Environment
Reduction in damaged Assets
Improved water quality in Lakes
Improved Ground Water Quality
Improvement in fish life and aquatic ecology
Improved Aesthetics
Improvement in Public Health & quality of life
Appreciation of property values
Socio-Economic Improvement
26. ALTERNATE SOURCES HAVE TO BE
identified such as ;
Reduction of Unaccounted for water
Reuse of waste water (sewage) for potable and
non potable uses
Rain water harvesting , micro and macro level
Efficient management of water by utility
Conservation of water by using highly efficient
plumbing fixtures by consumers
Industries must embark on water audit
