Bisalpur Water Supply

Bisalpur Water Supply

The Bisalpur-Jaipur Water Supply Project (BWSP) has been designed to deliver water from the existing Bisalpur Dam headworks up to Balawala on the south edge of Jaipur City to reduce the city's dependence on its ground water resources, and includes complementary provisions for supplying water to other areas. The conceptual planning for the BWSP is to develop the Bisalpur water source in a phased manner in order to meet the ever increasing water demands of Jaipur City and reduce the groundwater abstraction to sustainable limits. Phase I of the BWSP has been designed to supply a total of 360 MLD of treated water to Jaipur City, plus 40 MLD of treated water for the rural areas.

The works have been planned and designed in such a manner so as to facilitate a Phase II expansion program which is to be taken up in the future to provide a total of 540 MLD of treated water to Jaipur City plus 60 MLD to the rural areas and also to facilitate construction of the Stage II of the Project to achieve a total capacity of 1020 mld clear water production.

The Asian Development Bank has agreed to take up the first Phase of the project as a part of the Rajasthan Urban Infrastructure Development Project (RUIDP) (ADB Loan Number 1647-IND). The total estimated cost of this part is Rs. 556 crores; of this amount, $60 million (about Rs. 276 crores) will be provided by the ADB and the remaining Rs. 280 crores will be provided by the State Government. The State has confirmed its commitment to provide any additional funds that may be required beyond the available loan amount.

The transmission system portion of the Phase I works is comprised of:

  • Supply and installation of new vertical turbine raw water pumps
    (416 mld)
    in the existing pumping station at the Bisalpur headworks.
  • Supply and installation of 8.4 km of 2400 mm diameter MS raw water pipeline from Bisalpur up to Surajpura.
  • Construction of a 400 mld potable water treatment plant at Surajpura.
  • Construction of a 400 mld capacity clear water pumping station at Surajpura, with 360 mld to be delivered to Jaipur and 40 mld for rural areas.
  • Supply and installation of 97.4 km of 2300 mm diameter MS clear water pipeline from Surajpura up to the reservoir at Balawala.
  • Construction of related power supply works.

A single turnkey contract has been tendered for this work on a single-point responsibility basis. Under this contract the Contractor is responsible for final design, supply, installation, construction, testing, commissioning, and operation and maintenance of the entire system. The construction period is 30 months. The same Contractor will be responsible to carry out the O&M activities for a five year period after the system has been commissioned.
