5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Project description. The proposed Kathmandu Valley Water Supply Improvement Project 1 will support the ongoing efforts of the Government of Nepal towards improving the water supply services in Kathmandu Valley. The project will invest in bulk water transmission and distribution network improvement systems, and will complement past and ongoing Asian Development Bank (ADB) projects. 2 The resultant synergy is expected to lead to increased efficiencies, greater improvement in service delivery, and higher impact on health outcomes and quality of life for inhabitants of Kathmandu Valley. This is the resettlement plan prepared for the Package I & III Distribution Network Improvement DNI - 6 & 9 and is based on census survey of anticipated business impact during the pipe laying time. Detailed design has been completed for DNI- 6 & 9 and this resettlement plan for DNI- 6 &9 has been updated. It will be implemented by the Project Implementation Directorate (PID), Kathmandu Upatyaka Khanepani Limited (KUKL), who will address any resettlement impacts, permanent or temporary, during project implementation. 2. Categorization. The overall project is classified as category B in accordance with ADB s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS). ADB s SPS covers both temporary and permanent impacts. 3. Summary of resettlement impacts and mitigations. There is no land acquisition under the proposed project. All land for service reservoirs was previously acquired under the ongoing ADB Loan Altogether there are 158 businesses (109 in DNI 6 & 49 in DNI 9) activities and income that will have partial disruption in Distribution Network Improvement. Temporary disruption for DNI pipe connection works will be approximately 1-4 days. Trench sections for DNI connection works will be meters (m) in length. Contractors are required to maintain access to shops to avoid and/or limit the disturbance to extent possible. Mitigation measures are incorporated into their contracts, as outlined in the Environmental Management Plan (EMP), and will be monitored by the construction supervision consultants. In the event temporary disruption, with access to shops disrupted, compensation for lost income will be made for the time of disruption. 4. Entitlements. Once a contractor confirms a road is likely to be partial disruption (partial access for customer traffic), the design and supervision consultant (DSC) social safeguards specialist will conduct an income survey of businesses along the relevant sections of the road. Businesses will be compensated for lost income on fully closed streets where customer access to shops is disrupted. Compensation eligibility is limited by a cut-off date as set for this project on the day of the income survey prior to commencement of civil works. All businesses identified in the project-impacted areas (sections identified for construction) on the cut-off date will be entitled to compensation for their lost income based on the tax record or, in its absence, comparable rates from registered businesses of the same type with tax records. For shops not qualified under these categories (hawkers, vendors, etc.), there will be the option of using the actual income based on survey, followed by a verification of the income data based on comparable incomes in the project area. Mobile hawkers and vendors will be assisted in moving to alternative locations during the period of construction, and entitled to return once works are declared complete by the contractor. A vendor action plan is also included in this resettlement plan. 1 The project was prepared through PPTA 4893-NEP: Preparing the Kathmandu Valley Water Distribution, Sewerage, and Urban Development Project, approved on 13 December Due to restructuring of ongoing loans, the work of PPTA started in 2009, and final report was submitted in May Loan 1820-NEP (SF): Melamchi Water Supply Project was approved on 21 December 2000, and became effective on 28 November Loans 2058/2059-NEP (SF): Kathmandu Valley Water Services Sector Development Program were approved on 18 December 2003, and became effective on 7 December 2004.

6 5. Mechanism for payment of compensation. For shops experiencing income disturbance from loss of customer access on fully closed streets, the DSC social safeguards specialist has recorded the type of business and income loss and make a list of entitled persons. The DSC Social Safeguards Specialist has also identified vulnerable persons entitled to additional measures of assistance. Identity cards will then be distributed to these persons, with the amount of compensation they are entitled to. The list wiill be submitted to the PID safeguards unit officer in charge, who will then issue a check directly to the persons upon confirmation of the recorded list and identity card. All payments are recorded within the PID for accounting purposes. 6. Implementation arrangements. The Ministry of Urban Development (MOUD) will be the executing agency responsible for overall strategic planning, guidance, and management of the project, and for ensuring compliance with loan covenants. PID, KUKL will be the implementing agency, and the PID KUKL will be responsible for (i) project planning, implementation, monitoring, and supervision; (ii) reporting to MOUD, and ADB; and (iii) coordination of all activities in the project. The experience of PID, KUKL in implementing subproject 2 of Melamchi Water Supply Project will be useful in taking advance actions for the project. A safeguard unit is established within PID and headed by a senior environmental engineer. The PID, KUKL has already recruited two consulting firms, i.e. a design, supervision and management consultant (DSC) and community awareness and participation firm. The Social safeguard specialist and Environment Specialist from DSC will facilitate to PID in implementation and supervision of safeguards-related works. Grievances will be addressed by the grievance redress mechanism, which incorporates a clear and grassroots process for addressing public complaints. 7. Information disclosure. To provide for more transparency in planning, and for further active involvement of displaced persons and other stakeholders, the project information was disseminated through public meetings, campaigns, and disclosure of the translated versions of the resettlement planning documents, brochure and leaflets. The information was made available at public places, including the offices of PID, KUKL main office and site offices. A copy of the resettlement plan will be disclosed on the ADB and project-related websites, and is also available from PID upon request.

7 I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Background 1. The proposed Kathmandu Valley Water Supply Improvement Project 1 will support the ongoing efforts of the Government of Nepal towards improving the water supply services in Kathmandu Valley. The project will invest in bulk water transmission and distribution network improvement systems, and will complement the past and ongoing Asian Development Bank (ADB) projects. 2 The resultant synergy is expected to lead to increased efficiencies, greater improvement in service delivery, and higher impact on health outcomes and quality of life for inhabitants of Kathmandu Valley. 2. Kathmandu Valley is characterized by high urban population growth (5.3% per annum) and a high population density of 2,800 persons per km. 3 The total population of Kathmandu Valley in 2011 stands at 2.5 million. Rapid and largely unplanned urban growth, high population density, lack of sustainable water sources, and inadequate past investments in water supply infrastructure have resulted in abysmally poor availability and quality of drinking water. 4 Moreover, poor access to sanitation facilities, improper solid waste management systems, and groundwater and surface water pollution from untreated domestic sewage have caused increased disease incidence, health risks, and associated economic burdens disproportionately impacting the poor and vulnerable. 5 B. DNI Areas The DNI Areas is divided into three contract packages and 11 subproject areas in Kathmandu metropolis and Lalitpur sub-metropolis. The DNI covers the areas (markerts/clusters/toles) inside the Ring Road and Narephant and Jadibuti area outside the Ring Road. Distribution Network Improvement (DNI) (three packages): Under the project, improvement of the water supply distribution network is planned for 11 subzone service areas. The DNI work will improve the water supply service by ensuring an adequate supply of potable water in compliance with the KUKL operator license. The DNI covers an area of about 3139 ha. and will directly benefit approximately 754,150 people. The project includes the installation of over 400 km of water distribution pipes, ranging in diameter from 50 mm to 500 mm. Most of these pipes will be within dense, narrow streets (1-2 lane roads, with 5-7 m carriageways). Minor temporary disruption to businesses is anticipated from the DNI component; however, most streets will remain open, with access to business maintained causing limited interruption to livelihood activities. A limited number of roads are expected to be partially closed for short periods (1-4 days). It is identified and surveyed that 159 shops along narrow roads/gallies will be partially impacted due to pipe laying works of roads in DNI 6 & 9 zone area. Night works will also be conducted on narrow roads. Location map DNI 6 & 9 is shown below. 1 The project was prepared through PPTA 4893-NEP: Preparing the Kathmandu Valley Water Distribution, Sewerage, and Urban Development Project, approved on 13 December Due to restructuring of ongoing loans, the work of PPTA started in 2009 and final report was submitted in May Loan 1820-NEP (SF): Melamchi Water Supply Project was approved on 21 December 2000 and became effective on 28 November Loans 2058/2059-NEP (SF): Kathmandu Valley Water Services Sector Development Program were approved on 18 December 2003 and became effective on 7 December Central Bureau of Statistics, Government of Nepal, A baseline survey done by CRISIL under PPTA 4893-NEP in September 2010 estimates water availability at 20 liters per capita per day (lpcd) and average duration of water supply at 0.4 hours per day. Kathmandu Upatyaka Khaneani Limited (KUKL), the operator, assesses the current availability as 45 lpcd. 5 Vulnerable groups include female-headed households and below poverty line households (According to the NLSS Survey 2011, an individual is considered poor if his/her per capita total annual consumptions is below Rs. 19,261.) 1

8 Figure 1 Location Map II. SCOPE OF LAND ACQUISITION AND RESETTLEMENT 3. There is no land acquisition under the proposed project. All land for service reservoirs were previously acquired under the ongoing ADB Loan The impacts are limited to the following: (i) few temporary disruptions of business activities and income, and in Distribution Network Improvement (DNI). 6 Based on detail design a census survey was conducted to indetify disruption of business. Altogether 159 (DNI & DNI-9 49) shops may experience temporary disruption on narrow streets. Streets experienced partial disruption willl be approximately 1-4 day. The impacts were identified in those narrow streets which are less than 4 meter wide. Trench sections for DNI will be m in length. Contractors are required to maintain access to shops to avoid and limit the disturbance to the extent possible, and mitigation measures are incorporated into their contracts and monitored by the construction supervision consultants. Temporary economic impacts to businesses along the DNI routes are expected to be short term, and avoided and/or mitigated through good traffic management planning and implementation, night works, and maintaining access to shops during the construction period, as outlined in the Environmental 6 In some areas along the ring road, works are proposed outside the carriageway or shoulder, while still within the RoW. In these areas, there may be impacts to vendors. 2

9 Management Plan (EMP). 7 In the event roads are fully closed, with access to shops disrupted, compensation for lost income will be made for the time of disruption The contractors will be required to maintain access to shops during trenching (metal planks, spaces, etc), which is expected for 5-7 days for larger sized pipes (800-1,500 mm). For DNI works, trench stretches range from 50 m to 100 m, with 1-4 days required for backfilling. DNI works will use primarily the hand digging method. Roads within the DNI areas are narrower (1-2 lane roads, with 5-7 m carriageways); however, the pipes are smaller in diameter, resulting in less disturbance to residents and businesses. It is identified and surveyed that 158 business shops of the DNI 6 & 9 zone area will experience partial road closure on narrower streets. Streets requiring partial closure will be impacted for 1-4 days. Prior to construction, contractors and DSC, with the assistance of the community participation consultants, will be required to provide at least 1-2 weeks advance notice, along with an awareness campaign involving local area committees (Tole committees). Table 1: Proposed DNI Works and Potential Impacts DNI Area Size and length Estimated period of access disruption to businesses Road widths Level of disturbance (low, medium, high) All pipes 150 mm diameter or above will be DI; distribution pipes for Kathmandu Metro Zone will range from 75 to 140 mm in diameter, and will be of HDPE of about 487,586 m 2. Pipes mm in diameter acting as trunk mains, and distribution mains will be of DI, of about 162,913 m. DNI Package 1 (DNI 1,2, 6) DNI Package 2 (DNI 3, 4, 5, 7) DNI Package 3 (DNI 8, 9, 10, 11) Tertiary main HDPE pipe 155,265m Secondary main DI pipe = 44,733m Primary main DI pipe = 13,161 m Total length Package 1 = 213,159 Tertiary main HDPE pipe 189,443 m Secondary main DI pipe = 50,128 m Primary main DI pipe = 10,514 m Total length Package 2 = 250,085 m Tertiary main HDPE pipe 142,878 m Secondary main DI pipe = 38,033 m Primary main DI pipe = 6,344 m Total length Package 3 = 187,255 m 1-3 days 3-10 m Low 1-3 days 3-10 m Low 1-3 days 3-10 m Low dia = diameter, DNI = Distribution Network Improvement, km = kilometer, m = meter, mm = millimeter. 7 To ensure disturbance is minimized to the extent possible, contractors will be required to expedite works in front of businesses, provide pedestrian planks across trenches, manage traffic flows, conduct works at night, etc. 8 The full closure of roads is expected to be minimal under the project, and based on the field visit and detail design of DNI zones, it is estimated that around 8750 shops could experience full closure of roads under Packages i, ii and iii. Full closure is not expected in BDS areas, but more limited to DNI zones, where night works will also be considered to limit impacts. If closed, full closure is not expected to exceed 3-5 days. 3

10 5. The following mitigation measures are proposed in the EMP to avoid and/or reduce the impacts to businesses during linear pipe works: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) Provide at least 1-2 weeks prior advance notice to the community along the stretch and conduct awareness campaigns in coordination with contractor, DSC, and community participation consultant. Distribute project information. Maintain access to avoid disturbance to residents and businesses by providing planks and leaving spaces for businesses and residents to maintain access. Manage traffic flows as per traffic management plan prepared by the contractor in coordination with local authorities and communities, and conduct works at night where possible. Limit amount of time when trenches are open, and complete works quickly where lots of businesses are located. Avoid full street closure to extent possible. Provide employment opportunity to the affected people. Place Kathmandu Upatyaka Khanepani Limited (KUKL) phone hotline in visible areas. Make community fully aware of grievance mechanism and provide contact information of Project Implementation Directorate (PID) and KUKL branch offices. Contractors will assist vendors and hawkers in shifting to alternative location. 6. Business survey. In order to estimate the scale of impacts during construction and to come up with a budget for compensation, a census survey of businesses was conducted 25th September 2013 to 28th September 2013 in DNI-9 and from 6th November 2013 to 15th November 2013 in DNI- 6 to determine the daily income of different types of businesses located in DNI - 6 & 9 service area under Package I & III. Based in detail desing, a total of 158 business were identified that will experience partial disruption during the pipe laying period. The impacts were identified in those roads which are leass than 4 meter wide. 7. Table 5 summarizes the occupants within selected proposed alignments of the DNI - 6 & 9 service area under package I & III. Based on the detail design it is identified that 158 business along the roads/streets/galies will experience partial disruption. If the business will experience full closure that will be compensated financially. Among the affected business most of them are related every day life. Gorcery, Samll hotels/restaurants, General store, Utensils and Tailoring are major. The table 2 presetns the affected business and it s numbers. About 70% of the affected business shops are rented or shop owners are rented and remaining 30% are owner of the business house. 8. Daily income estimates for permanent shops. Based on the survey of 159 business shops in the DNI-6 & 9 service area under Package I & III, the average daily income of shops surveyed after deducting rent is NRs per day (or approximately $6.17/day). 9 Table 2: Types and Number of Affected Business in DNI 6 &9 are Under Package I & III S.N.

SOCIOECONOMIC INFORMATION AND PROFILE A. Socioeconomic Profile of Affected People 9. Description of DNI Area. The DNI-6 service area is lies in Lalitpur Sub Metropolitian City. The DNI area covers all part of Ward no. 5, 6, 12, 19, and 20 and the partial area of ward no 3, 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18. The Pulchowk, Ekantakuna, Satdobato, Gwarko, Mangalbazar and Patan are the major market of the DNI area. The DNI -9 service area lies in Kathmandu Metropolitian City no 35 Koteshwor, Subidhanagar, Tinkune, Mahadevsthan, Jadibuti and Narephant are the major area. The Narephant and Jadibuti of DNI 9 lies outside the righ road area but all the settlements of DNI-6 are located inside the ringroad area. 10. Demographic Composition. There are 308,873 households in Kathmandu and Lalitpur city where the population of male and female population are 732,643 and 577,393 and total population is 1,172,474 and average households size 3.79 (census, The total population of service area is 164,577 in which male population is 98,591 and female population is 66,038 and households (census, 2012). The average household s size of service is 3.22 whic is lower than national average The total population of affected people is 531 in which the male population is 49.73% where female population is 50.27% and the average households size is Social classification. Newar is the prominent inhabitants of Kathmandu valley. The affected people are divided into different caste groups.the survey of affected people shows that 74.55% are Newar, 6.38% are Brahmins, 5.45 % are Tamang, 4.55% are Chhetri, 3.64% Thakuri and 2.73% are Magar and Limbu. The percentage of Hindu followers is 91% and others are about 9%. In the Kathmandu Valley, Newar are considered an advanced indigenous people group. This group comprises about 41% of the valley population. 12. Age. The economically active age group between 15 and 59 years constitutes about 72.23% of the affected population. The other main age group 5 to 14 years is about 22% and 60 years overs groups constitute about 5.77% of the affected population. There are no significant differences in the percentage of age distribution in service areas. 13. Health. The avalibality of health services in DNI area is relatively satisficatory. The government and private sector are operating health services in this service area. Altogether 7 government health centers, 9 private sector hospitals (325 beds) and 124 private clinics are operating in the area. In the service area 98% have toilet facility where as 2% have open 5

12 defection practices. The gastric, asthama, feaver and jaundice are common disease found among the affected people in service area. 14. Education. The Kathmandu Valley has long been considered the center for higher education in Nepal. The literacy rate of Lalitpur district is 83.75% where as the literacy rate of affected people is 92.5% and the literacy rate of Kathamndu district is 86.3% the literacy rate is project affected people is 95.2%. The numbers of educational institutions in Kathmandu Valley are 826 school level and 186 college and university level education institutions where as in DNI-6 service area 49 schools and 35 colleges are in operation. (District Profile 2011). 15. Employment. The economy of the Kathmandu Valley is based on trade, commerce, and manufacturing industries like carpets and garments. Other economic sectors are agriculture, education, transport, hotels, and restaurants. Tourism is also a key component of the valley s economy. However, in the rural areas, the economy is still based on agriculture. 16. However, the National Living Standard Survey indicates that about 55.7% of the economically active population of 10 years of age and above in urban Kathmandu Valley is employed in the agriculture and non-agriculture sector, of which only 17% depends on farm activities. It means that about 83% of this group of population depends on non-farm activities such as manufacturing (24.0%), trade (42.6%), service sectors (28.6%), and other works (4.8%). 17. Economically active population. About % of the total population in the valley aged 16 and above are economically active (Census 2011). Majority of the population of the Kathmandu Valley are engaged in agriculture and forestry (36%). The other major industries are manufacturing (17%), commerce (16%), construction (4%), and transportation/communication (3%). Among the affected population, at least one of their family member is engaged in service or any other income generating sources except business. 18. Poverty. The National Living Standard Survey 2010/11 indicates that about % of the population of Nepal lives below the poverty line. According to the NLSS Survey 2011, an individual is considered poor if his/her per capita total annual consumptions is below Rs. 19,261. It has also categorized the food items and non food items and the expenses required to be above the poverty line. Accordingly, the income required for providing adequate calories (2, 220 kilocalorie) for an average Nepali to be active is Rs 11, For non-food items, for an average, the average income required is Rs. 7,332. Nepal Living Standard Survey conducted by CBS in 1995/96, 2003/04 and 2010/11 revealed that between the three surveys there had been substantial decrease in the poverty in Nepal. The survey shows that poverty had decreased faster in the urban areas from 1995/96 to 2003/04. However, the urban poverty has increased from 9.6 % to 15.5 % from 2003/04 to 2010/11, where as there was substantial decrease of poverty in rural areas 11. In the surveyed houdeholds none of the lies below the poverty line and their average household s income is above the national level. 19. Slums and squatter settlements. The rapid population growth has created a number of slums and squatter settlements in the Kathmandu Valley. But the numbers of 10 For the food item only, this has been calculated as NRs.11,929 per person per year (National Planning Commission of Nepal, Nepal Living Standard Survey 2010/2011). 11 Key reasons for the reduction in poverty include (a) the significant inflow of remittances, (b) decline in fertility rates, (c) increases in farm wages over the past decade and, importantly, (d) urbanization and the associated increase in high productivity economic activity compared with the lower productive activities of rural areas. 6

13 slums and squatters are comperatively low in DNI-6 service area. And based in detail design no slums and squtters and hawkers will be affected by the construction activity. B. Profile of DNI Areas Under Package I & III Under the project, improvement of the water supply distribution network is planned for 11 subzone service areas in Kathmandu metropolis and Lalitpur sub-metropolis. The DNI 6 & 9covers an area of about ha and will directly benefit approximately 1,172,474 populations. The DNI-6 sub-project has been divided into three contract packages. DNI-1,2, and 6 is under package and DNI-9 area is divied into four contract packages.the service area covers the areas (markets/clusters/toles) Pulchowk, Ekantakuna, Satdobato, Gwarko, Mangalbazar and Patan inside the Ring Road. The DNI sub-project has been divided into three contract packages. The DNI-8,9,10 and 11 is under contract package III. The service area covers the areas (markets/clusters/toles) inside the Ring Road (Tinkune, Mahadevsthan, Koteshwor) and Narephant and Jadibuti are outside the Ring Road. Distribution Network Improvement-6 & 9 (DNI-6 &9) 20. The total area covered by DNI-06 is about 255 Ha. with a population of about 60,287 (population 2015). The area covers Pulchowk, Gabaahal, Mangalbazar, Sundhara, Gwarko (Ringroad), Satdobato, Ekantakuna, Jawalakhel etc. The works comprise of the supply and laying of 35,402 of tertiary main HDPE pipe of various diameters (75 to 110mm), 17,099 m of Secondary DI Pipes of various diameters (150 to 300 mm) and 2,846 of primary main DI pipes of diameters (400 mm-700 mm). Altogether, the total length of the pipeline is about 55,345 m. 21. The total area covered by DNI-09 is about Ha. with a population of about 61,068 (population 2015). The area covers Subidhanagar, Koteshwor, Mahadevsthan, Sarashwoti Marg, Mahadevsthan area, Narephant, kotdevi marga etc. The works comprise of the supply and laying of 29,277 m of tertiary main HDPE pipe of various diameters (75 to 110 mm), 10,486 m of secondary main DI pipes of various diameters (150 to 300 mm) and 1,334 m of primary main DI pipes of various diameters (400 to 700 mm). Altogether, the total length of the pipeline is about 41,097 m. C. Gender Considerations 22. The project will provide universal connections, including for poor and vulnerable households, including female-headed households. Employment will also be granted to females, with equal pay for men and women. In addition to the measures provided for addressing the gender concerns of the affected households, the resettlement plan will be implemented in consonance with the gender equity and social inclusion (GESI) plan for the project. 23. Women-headed households. According to the 2011 census, about 12% of households have been reported as female-headed in Kathmandu valley. Among the affected none of them were female headed households. IV. INFORMATION DISCLOSURE, CONSULTATION, AND PARTICIPATION A. Public Consultation 24. While updating the RP, an extensive consultation program with key stakeholders including project affected people was carried out, in line with the requirements pertaining to environment and social considerations of ADB. The public, business owners, affected people and shopkeepers were informed about the possibility of disruption to the business The tools used for consultations were stakeholder workshops and meetings, interviews, structured 7

14 questionnaires, and focus group discussions (FGD). These consultations provided inputs for identification of the felt needs of the communities, and the relevant stakeholders. 25. Consultatiions were held in during the time of updating RP DNI- 6 & 9 zones and vendors, business owner were informed about the possibility of disruption to the business. During the visits, potential temporarily impacted areas that could experience partial disruption of roads/galli were identified and census income survey of shops and vendors were conducted for assessing the average daily income.

Information Disclosure 27. To provide for more transparency in planning and for further active involvement of affected people and other stakeholders, project information was disseminated through disclosure of the translated versions of the resettlement planning documents. The information was made available at public places, including the offices of PID, KUKL main office and branch offices, contractor site office and Ward Office of Kathmandu Metropolitian city. A copy of the resettlement plan will be disclosed on the ADB and project related websites, and is also available from PID upon request. C. Continued Consultation and Participation 28. The PID has extended and expanded the consultation and disclosure process during the detailed design stage and will be continued during construction period of the project. CAPC has been recruited to ensure ongoing consultations and public awareness during project implementation. This has been coordinate with the PID, design and supervision consultant (DSC), and contractors to ensure that communities are made fully aware of project activities in all stages of construction. A community awareness and participation plan was also prepared for the project and implementing by CAPC in coordination with the PID and DSC safeguards expert. Community groups such as TLO and vendor associations have been consulting and made aware of the civil works and project activities prior to construction. V. GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM 29. A grievance redress mechanism (GRM) has been established (safeguard offcer from PID, safeguard expert from DSC, CAPC, contractor and TLO member) in PID to receive, evaluate, and facilitate the resolution of affected people s concerns, complaints, and grievances about the social and environmental performance at the level of the project. A Community Issue Resolution Team (CIRT) is also estabilished to address the grievances immediately in the field level. The Safeguard officer from PID has been assigned as 9

16 coordinator for grievance handling. The name and contact number for GRM team has been mentioned in brochure and leaflets. The GRM aims to provide a trusted way to voice and resolve concerns linked to the project, and to be an effective way to address affected people s concerns. The GRM for the project is outlined below, and consists of three levels with time-bound schedules and specific persons to address grievances. 30. First level of GRM. The first level and most accessible and immediate contact for the fastest resolution of grievances by CIRT (contractors, CAPC, TLO member and DSC supervisor) on site. Prior to construction of any works, CAPC, DSC, and contractors are to hold local community meetings to notify the local residents and businesses of the temporary disturbance, and to inform them of the project. If a local area committee (tole committee) exists in the area, they should also be informed and made aware of the project. If any complaints arise, the contractors, DSC, and PID can immediately resolve the complaint on site, and if necessary, with the assistance of the local tole committee. The PID office can also be involved in grievance redress at this stage. The Contractor and CAPC office phone number will be posted in public areas within the project area and construction sites. Any person with a grievance related to the project works can contact the project to file a complaint. The CAPC consultants will document the complaint, and immediately address and resolve the issue with the contractor within 1-2 days, if the complaint remains unresolved at the field level. The assistance of the DSC safeguards specialists (the environmental specialist or social safeguards specialist) to help resolve the issue. The CAPC consultants will notify the PID safeguards unit that a complaint was received, and whether it was resolved. The CAPC will fully document the following information: (i) name of the person, (ii) date complaint was received, (iii) nature of complaint, (iv) location, and (v) how the complaint was resolved. 31. Second level of GRM. Should the grievance remain unresolved; the CAPC consultants will forward the complaint to the PID safeguards unit. The person filing the grievance will be notified by the CAPC consultants that the grievance was forwarded to the PID safeguards unit. The PID safeguard unit Chief will address the grievance. Grievances will be resolved through continuous interactions with affected persons, and the PID will answer queries and resolve grievances regarding various issues, including environmental, social, or livelihood impacts. Corrective measures will be undertaken at the field level by the PID safeguards staff within 7 days. The relevant safeguards unit staff will fully document the following information: (i) name of the person, (ii) date complaint was received, (iii) nature of complaint, (iv) location, and (v) how the complaint was resolved. 32. Third level of GRM. Should the grievance remain unresolved, the PID project director will activate the third level of the GRM by referring the issue (with written documentation) to the local Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) of the KUKL, who will, based on review of the grievances, address them in consultation with the PID safeguards unit, project director, and affected persons. The local GRC will consist of members of the PID, affected persons, and local area committee, among others determined to provide impartial, balanced views on any issues. The GRC should consist of around five persons. A hearing will be called with the GRC, if necessary, where the affected person can present his or her concerns/issues. The process will promote conflict resolution through mediation. The local GRC will meet as necessary when there are grievances to be addressed. The local GRC will suggest corrective measures at the field level and assign clear responsibilities for implementing its decision within 15 days. The functions of the local GRC are as follows: (i) to provide support to affected persons on problems arising from environmental or social disruption, asset acquisition (if necessary), and eligibility for entitlements, compensation and assistance; (ii) to record grievances of affected persons, categorize and prioritize them, and provide solutions within 15 days; and (iii) to report to the aggrieved parties developments regarding their grievances and decisions of the GRC. The PID safeguards officers will be responsible for processing and placing all papers before the GRC, recording decisions, 10

17 issuing minutes of the meetings, and taking follow-up action to see that formal orders are issued and the decisions carried out. 33. Fourth level of GRM. In the event that a grievance is not addressed by the contractor, DSC, branch office, PID, or GRC, the affected person can seek legal redress of the grievance in the appropriate courts, the fourth level of the GRM, which is the formal legal court system. The grievance redress mechanism and procedure is depicted in Figure 1. 11

19 VI. POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK 34. ADB Safeguards Policy Statement (2009). The three important elements of the ADB s Safeguards Policy Statement (SPS) are (i) compensation to replace lost assets, livelihood, and income; (ii) assistance for relocation, including provision of relocation sites with appropriate facilities and services; and (iii) assistance for rehabilitation to achieve at least the same level of well-being with the project as without it. In addition, the absence of legal title to land should not be a bar to compensation. ADB SPS requires compensation prior to actual income loss. In cases where the contractors know which streets will be closed and for how long, compensation can be paid out to the businesses prior to construction. 35. Government of Nepal Laws. As there is no land acquisition, the government s policies, e.g. The Land Acquisition Act, 2034 (1977) are not relevant for this project. The Government of Nepal has no policy to compensate for temporary impacts during construction. VII. ENTITLEMENTS, ASSISTANCE, AND BENEFITS A. Eligibility 36. Compensation eligibility is limited by a cut-off date as set for this project on the day of the beginning of the income survey (Appendix 5) prior to commencement of civil works. Once a contractor confirms that a road is likely to be fully closed (no access to traffic) for more than 5 days, the DSC social safeguards specialist will conduct an income survey of businesses along the relevant sections. 12 The DSC social safeguards specialist may recruit enumerators to assist in this activity. An income survey will serve as the cut-off date. All businesses identified in the project-impacted areas (sections ready for construction) on the cut-off date will be entitled to compensation for their lost income based on the tax record or, in its absence, comparable rates from registered businesses of the same type with tax records. For shops not qualifying under these categories (hawkers, vendors, etc.), there will be the option of using the actual income based on survey, followed by a verification of the income data based on comparable incomes in the project area. 37. Hawkers or business owners who settle in the affected areas after the cut-off date will not be eligible for compensation. They will, however, be given sufficient advance notice (at least 1 week), and will be requested to vacate premises and dismantle affected structures prior to project implementation. Contractors will provide shifting assistance to any vendors needing help. B. Entitlements 38. The entitlement matrix (Table 4) summarizes the main types of losses and the corresponding entitlements in accordance with the ADB policies. In addition to temporary impacts, the entitlement matrix also covers damages to structures during construction. 12 Compensation is only applicable to businesses experiencing disturbance on fully closed roads. 13

20 Table 4: Entitlement Matrix Type of Loss Entitlement Unit Description of Entitlement and Implementation 1.Damages caused during construction 1.1 Government and Titleholder private structures Tenant Informal settlers on government land 2. Community facilities and resources 2.1 Loss of Local community community structures 2.2 Loss of drinking water and sanitation Residents and businesses Procedures Where damages occur to private, community, or government property as a result of construction works, the cost of restoring these to at least their original condition will be the responsibility of the contractor as part of their contract. Restoration of affected community buildings and structures to at least previous condition, or replacement in areas identified in consultation with affected communities and relevant authorities will be carried out. There wll be immediate replacement and restoration of the water points. Remarks Extreme care should be taken by the contractors to avoid damaging any properties during construction. Compensation for the losses will be borne by the contractor. Extreme care should be taken by the contractors to avoid damaging any properties during construction. Compensation for the losses will be borne by the contractor. Community structures include service roads, inner roads, temples, footpaths/trails, culverts, and water points. The time gap between the construction of new system and transfer from the old system should be minimized. Alternative sources of water should be made available during the construction period.

21 Type of Loss Entitlement Unit Description of Entitlement and Implementation Procedures 3. Temporary loss of income 3.1 Temporary loss of business 3.2 Vulnerable persons Titleholder Licensed and nonlicensed vendors, and titled and non-titled households/tenants Female-headed, and below poverty line households, the annual poverty line data is NRs. 19,261 per capita/year or NRs 93,994 per household/year: NLSS Survey, 2011 Businesses are entitled to compensation for each day of disturbance on fully closed roads. An income survey will serve as the cut-off date. All businesses identified in the project-impacted areas (sections ready for construction) on the cut-off date will be entitled to compensation for their lost income based on the tax record or, in its absence, comparable rates from registered businesses of the same type with tax records. For shops not qualifying under these categories (hawkers, vendors, etc.), there is the option of using the actual income based on survey followed by a verification of the income data based on comparable incomes in the project area. Mobile hawkers and vendors will be assisted by contractors in moving to alternative locations during the period of construction. Vulnerable persons will be entitled to preferential employment (unskilled labor) under the project. Remarks An income survey prior to construction will serve as the cut-off date. Vulnerable persons will be identified during income survey, with the list given to PID and contractor. Responsibility DSC/PID/CIRT DSC/PID/contractor 4. Structures 4.1 Temporary loss of structures in right of way Temporary or semipermanent structures or stalls that belong to licensed and non-licensed vendors, and titled and non-titled households Affected persons will: (i) receive advanced notice of at least 2 weeks; (ii) have rights to salvage materials from structure; (iii)receive asistance in shifting to nearby location; and (iv) be allowed to return to original site after completion of construction works. There will be temporary shifting for 5-7 days during period of construction. DSC CAPC and contractor will identify alternative site and help in shifting.

22 C. Determination of Compensation 39. Income. Businesses will be compensated for lost income on fully closed streets where customer access to shops is disrupted. 15 Once a contractor confirms a road is likely to be fully closed (with disruption to customer access), the DSC social safeguards specialist will conduct an income survey of businesses along the relevant sections. An income survey will serve as the cut-off date. All businesses identified in the project-impacted areas (sections ready for construction) on the cut-off date will be entitled to compensation for their lost income based on the tax record or, in its absence, comparable rates from registered businesses of the same type with tax records. For shops not qualifying under these categories (hawkers, vendors, etc.), there is the option of using the actual income based on survey followed by a verification of the income data based on comparable incomes in the project area. A summary table of resettlement procedures is presented in Appendix Compensation procedures. Paying compensation to the affected persons will involve the following steps: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) Step 1. Conduct public awareness and information dissemination prior to construction works. This is to be done by the community awareness and participation consultants. Step 2. In collaboration with the contractor, the design and supervision consultant (DSC) will identify the roads which will be fully closed, and estimated period of closure. Two types of disturbance are anticipated from full closure of roads: (a) partial disturbance, where there is no vehicular access, but pedestrian access is maintained; or (b) full disturbance, where there is no vehicular and no pedestrian access. Step 3. The DSC social specialist will then (a) conduct an income survey 16 of shops along sections of road closure identified for full closure; (b) update the resettlement plan (identifying income and potential loss based on actual income losses); and (c) send the updated resettlement plan to ADB for review and approval after detailed designs are complete. Step 4. After ADB approval of the revised resettlement plan, the DSC safeguard specialist will distribute identity cards with compensation amount to the affected persons. Step 5. Affected persons can then collect payment at PID office or on site, based on PID discretion. Step 6. PID will issue checks to affected persons based on survey record and identity card prior to construction works (if feasible). All payments will be recorded for accounting purposes with signature of affected person to verify payment made. The project director will closely monitor payments with PID accounting office. D. Vendor Assistance 41. Vendors requiring temporary shifting during construction period will be notified in advance and allowed to salvage all materials for temporary shifting to alternative location. 15 Compensation is only applicable to fully closed roads where customer access is disrupted leading to income loss. To the extent possible, contractors will identify these types of roads prior to construction. However, if during construction, a road not previously identified for full closure is unexpectedly required to be fully closed, inhibiting customer access, the contractor is to immediately notify the DSC social safeguard specialist and PID so that a rapid income survey can be conducted and compensation paid for period of disruption. 16 Compensation is based on lost income based on the tax record or, in its absence, comparable rates from registered businesses of the same type with tax records. For shops not qualifying under these categories (hawkers, vendors, etc.), there is the option of using the actual income based on survey followed by a verification of the income data based on comparable incomes in the project area. 16

23 They will be allowed to return to the original location after construction is declared complete. Vendor assistance will involve the following steps: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) step 1 - identification of impacted vendors based on detailed design by DSC social specialist and PID safeguards unit in coordination with contractor; step 2 - notification of vendors at least 2-3 weeks in advance; consultation with local vendor associations if any; step 3 - identification of alternative location nearby for affected vendors to continue their business; step 4 - assistance by contractor to shift to new location; and step 5 - assistance by contractor to return to original location after construction works are completed. E. Project Benefits 42. The project will support the delivery of much-needed water to Kathmandu and its surroundings. The project will support KUKL in expanding water services in its service area, where affected businesses are among the beneficiaries. Moreover, the project will employ local people during implementation. VIII. INCOME RESTORATION AND REHABILITATION 43. Incomes of affected persons will be compensated based on replacement value of losses, as detailed in the entitlement matrix. Preferential employment will be offered to local people, with preference to affected persons. IX. RESETTLEMENT BUDGET AND FINANCING PLAN 44. The resettlement cost for the DNI-6 & 9 service area (Table 5) includes eligible compensation for temporary impacts on income. The government financing has provided funds to support all compensation for lost income. The total estimated resettlement cost for the project is NRs 370,720 ($ ) for DNI-6 & 9. The Implementation Agency (KUKL) has allocated sufficient budget and human resources to implement the resettlement plan. 45. The cost items are outlined below: (i) (ii) For linear works, temporary loss of income to shops and businesses due to disturbance caused by construction for roads fully closed. Businesses are entitled to income compensation on fully closed roads where customer access is inhibited. Vulnerable persons entitled to preferential treatment in project-related employment During the time of updating RP, consultaion, observation and rapid interactions were conducted in the DNI-6 &9 service areas. Likewise, as per the detail design of DNI -6 &9 area, all of the alignments of the pipilines were visited. Based on the visits and interactions, it is identified that (for budget purposes) 158 shops could experience partial impact in DNI-6 & 9 service area. It is assumed that, most streets impact will not more than 4 days. The total resettlement budget for DNI - 6 &9 is NRs 371,200($3,744.64). Table 5 provides details of the costs. 17 A list of names of vulnerable persons will be submitted by the DSC to PID and contractors. 17

X. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS 47. The MOUD will be the executing agency responsible for overall strategic planning, guidance, and management of the project, and for ensuring compliance with loan covenants. As part of institutional reforms under the ongoing loans, three water and wastewater organizations were created: (i) Kathmandu Valley Water Supply Management Board (KVWSMB), the asset owner; (ii) Kathmandu Upatyaka Khanepani Limited (KUKL), the asset operator and service provider; and (iii) Water Supply Tariff Fixation Commission (WSTFC), the regulator. KVWSMB will continue to discharge its responsibilities as asset owner of water supply and wastewater systems and monitoring of performance of KUKL, as provided in the lease and license agreement between KVWSMB and KUKL. PID will be the implementing agency, and responsible for (i) project planning, implementation, monitoring, and supervision; (ii) reporting to MOUD, and ADB; and (iii) coordination of all activities in the project. The experience of PID, KUKL in implementing subproject 2 of the MWSP will be useful in taking advance action for thepproject. For safeguards, the PID has an already established safeguards unit staffed with environmental, social, and legal specialists. The institutional roles and responsibilities are detailed in Table 6. Table 6: Institutional Roles and Responsibilities S.No. Activity Responsibility Project Initiation Stage 1 ADB website disclosure ADB 2 Disclosure of summary resettlement plan in local language PID/DSC 3 Finalization of BDS and DNI alignments PID/DSC 4 Update resettlement plan based on detailed design and send to ADB for review and approval prior to contract award. PID/DSC/ADB 5 Meetings at community/household level with displaced persons Resettlement Plan Implementation 6 Contractor to identify roads for full closure Contractor 7 Detailed income survey on streets identified for full closure DSC Contractor/DSC/community participation consultant 18 Businesses are entitled to income compensation for each day of disturbance on fully closed roads. For budgeting purposes, it is estimated that streets will be closed for 3 days. It is estimated that 10% of the affected population is vulnerable (641 shops). For budgeting purposes, vulnerable persons losses are calculated for a total of 8 days closure, as they may require shifting to an alternative location for the period of disturbance. During implementation, income compensation is based on actual losses based on tax record or, in its absence, comparable rates from registered businesses of the same type with tax records. For shops not qualifying under these categories (hawkers, vendors, etc.), there is the option of using the actual income based on survey followed by a verification of the income data based on comparable incomes in the project area. 19 Estimated daily income is based on the rapid business survey conducted in the DNI areas in January, Compensation is based on actual income loss. The figures presented in Table 16 are for budget estimation purposes only and are purposefully conservative. 20 The DNI covers an area of about 3,139 ha, it is estimated that about 8750 shops will be affected due to fully closed roads and required compensation. BDS shops are unlikely to experience fully closed roads, but for budget purposes, an additional 1,000 shops are considered along BDS routes along the Ring Road. Therefore, a total of 9750 shops in the DNI and BDS is estimated to be impacted. Therefore, a total of 9,750 shops would be potentially impacted by the project, a conservative estimate for budgeting purposes. 18

The implementation schedule of RP is shown in Annex 3. 19

26 XII. MONITORING AND REPORTING 49. The DSC is to submit quarterly reports to PID, while the PID will submit semi-annual monitoring reports to ADB. If any unanticipated environmental and/or social risks and impacts arise during construction, implementation, or operation of the project that were not considered in the resettlement plan, the government is to promptly inform ADB of the occurrence of such risks or impacts, with detailed description of the event and proposed corrective action plan. The PID will report any actual or potential breach of compliance with the measures and requirements set forth in the resettlement plan promptly after becoming aware of the breach. 50. The internal monitoring by PID will include: (i) administrative monitoring to ensure that all compensation as per the resettlement plan is paid, implementation is on schedule, and problems are dealt with on a timely basis. Sample monitoring indicators are given in Appendix Monitoring will also include the following: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) consultations with affected persons; issues raised through the grievance redress mechanism; status of compensation amounts and all assistance; and progress of the resettlement plan implementation. 20

38 APPENDIX 6: TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLANNING (TMP) A. Principles for TMP around the DNI Construction Sites 1. One of the prime objective of this TMP is to ensure the safety of all the road users along the work zone and to address the following issues: (i) the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists travelling through the construction zone; (ii) protection of work crew from hazards associated with moving traffic; (iii) mitigation of the adverse impact on road capacity and delays to the road users; (iv) maintenance of access to adjoining properties; and (v) addressing issues that may delay project works. B. Operating Policies for TMP 2. Figure 1 illustrates the operating policy for TMP of the DNI works. 1. Analyze the impact due to street closure 3. Apart from the capacity analysis, a final decision to close a particular street and divert the traffic should involve the following steps: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) approval from the ward office or community to use the local streets as detours; consultation with businesses, community members, traffic police, Department of Roads, etc. regarding the mitigation measures necessary at the detours where the road is diverted during the construction; determining the maximum number of days allowed for road closure, and incorporation of such provisions into the contract documents; determining if additional traffic control or temporary improvements are needed along the detour route; considering how access will be provided to the worksite; contacting emergency service, school officials, and transit authorities to determine if there are impacts to their operations; and developing a notification program to the public so that the closure is not a surprise. As part of this program, the public should be advised of alternate routes that commuters can take or will have to take as result of the traffic diversion. 4. If full road closure of certain streets within the area is not feasible due to inadequate capacity of the street or public opposition, the full closure can be restricted to weekends, with the construction commencing on Friday night and ending on Sunday morning prior to the morning peak period. 2. Public awareness and notifications 5. As per discussions in the previous sections, there will be travel delays during the construction as is the case with most construction projects, albeit on a reduced scale if,utilities and traffic management are properly coordinated. There are additional grounds for travel delays in the area as most of the streets lack sufficient capacity to accommodate additional traffic from diverted traffic as a result of street closures to accommodate the work.

39 Figure A4.2: Policy Steps for the TMP Review Review construction schedule and methods Traffic Recirculation Identify initial traffic recirculation and control policy Traffic Diversions Identify routes for traffic diversions Analyse adverse impact and mitigation at the detours Full Road Closures Begin community consultation for consensus Finalize or determine alternate detours Temporary parking Identify temporary parking (on and off street ) Discuss with ward, owner, community for use Coordinate with the traffic police to enforce traffic and diversions Police Coordination Install control devices UMC subcommittee Install traffic control devices (traffic cones, sgns, lighting, etc) Coordinate with the UMC sub-committee to reconcilee with future plans of utility agencies Awareness Conduct publicity campaigns, and notify public about street closure Public Redress Develop a mechanism to address public grievances regarding disruptons (traffic, utilities, and diversions) 6. The awareness campaign and the prior notification for the public will be a continuous activity which the project willl carry out to compensate for the above delays and minimize public claims as a result of these problems. These activities will take place sufficiently in advance of the time when the roadblocks or traffic diversions take place at the particular streets. The reason for this is to allow sufficient time for the public and residents to understand the changes to their travel plans. The project will notify the public about the roadblocks and traffic diversion through print, TV, and radio media. In addition, the project, in collaboration with the utility management coordinator, will also seek the assistance of the

40 ward office, local clubs, and others to post the public notice regarding street closure and traffic diversions in the future. 7. The utility management coordinator will also conduct an awareness campaign to educate the public about the following issues: (i) (ii) (iii) traffic control devices in place at the work zones (signs, traffic cones, barriers, etc.); defensive driving behavior along the work zones; and reduced speeds enforced at the work zones and traffic diversions. 8. It may be necessary to employ a road-safety education specialist to design an appropriate program for road safety, and to conduct the awareness programs. 9. The campaign will cater to all types of target groups, i.e. children, adults, and drivers. Therefore, these campaigns will be conducted in schools, civic centers, and community centers. In addition, the project will publish a brochure for public information. These brochures will be widely circulated around the area and will also be available at the KUKL project directorate, office of both the contractor and the consultant, and the contractor s site office. The text of the brochure should be concise to be effective, with a lot of graphics. It will serve the following purpose: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) explain why the brochure was prepared along with a brief description of the project; advice the public to expect the unexpected; educate the public about the various traffic control devices and safety measures adopted at the work zones; educate the public about the safe road user behavior to emulate at the work zones; tell the public how to stay informed or where to inquire about road safety issues at the work zones (website, name, telephone, mobile number of the contact person; and SMS service or traffic information on FM Radio, e.g. "Ujyalo FM Station"); and indicate the office hours or relevant offices. 3. Install traffic control devices at the work zones and traffic diversion routes 10. The purpose of installing traffic control devices at the work zones is to delineate these areas to warn, inform, and direct the road users about a hazard ahead, and protect the former as well as the workers. As proper delineation is a key to achieve the above objective, it is important to install good traffic signs at the work zones. 11. Procedures for installing traffic control devices at any work zone vary, depending on road configuration, location of the work, construction activity, duration, traffic speed and volume, and pedestrian traffic. Work will take place at both minor and major streets such as Pashupati Sadak and the Dhumbarahi-Chabahil section of Ring Road. As such, the traffic volume and road geometry vary, with the latter requiring more elaborate settings. However, regardless of where the construction takes place, all the work zones should be cordoned off, and traffic shifted away at least with traffic cones, barricades, and temporary signs (temporary STOP and GO ). The work will closely follow the guidelines outlined in the DOR Traffic Sign Manual 1997 (which includes DOR 1996 document Safety at Roadwork ) and other literature available in this respect. 12. Figure 2 illustrates a typical set-up for installing traffic control devices at the work zone of the area.

41 Figure A4.2 Basic Layout for Delineation of a Work Zone (small area) Source: DOR Traffic Sign Manual; Volume I; August 1997; Kathmandu, Nepal. 13. The work zone should take into consideration the space required for a buffer zone between the workers and the traffic (lateral and longitudinal) and the transition space required for delineation, as applicable. For the DNI works, a 30 cm clearance between the traffic and the temporary STOP and GO signs should be provided. In addition, at least 60 cm is necessary to install the temporary traffic signs and cones. Figure A4.2 clarifies that the "ROAD NARROWS" warning sign is only necessary at the DNI works zones along Pashupati Sadak and the Ring Road section, where high traffic speeds are likely during the off-peak hours and at night. All the temporary traffic signs should be reflectorized, especially for the works to be conducted during nighttime, as per the DOR Traffic Sign Manual All the traffic diversions should be properly delineated through proper "DIVERSION AHEAD" and "ROADWORK AHEAD" signs, as indicated in Figure A4.3. In addition, the "B46" temporary warning sign for sharp bends used at the temporary diversion should be in place after the start of the taper of the traffic cones. Flashing beacons should be installed at the entry to the work zone and traffic diversion for night constructions, or if backfilling of the DNI trench does not take place after the completion of a day shift.

42 Figure A4.3 Basic Layout for Delineation of a Work Zone (small area) Source: DOR Traffic Sign Manual; Volume I; August 1997; Kathmandu, Nepal. 15. Traffic police should regulate traffic away from the work zone and enforce the traffic diversion resulting from full street closure in certain areas during construction. For the DNI and BDS works, one personnel is necessary at each entry to the diversion from both directions. These personnel should be equipped with reflective jackets at all times, and have traffic control batons (preferably the LED type) for regulating the traffic during nighttime. 16. In addition to the delineation devices, all the construction workers should wear fluorescent safety vests and helmets in order to be visible to motorists at all times. There should be provision for lighting beacons and illumination for night constructions. In light of the ongoing load-shedding problem in Nepal, it is practical to use solar powered LED lights, which are energy efficient, wherever feasible.

58 APPENDIX 11: LEAFLET

59 (Un-official draft) People of Kathmandu to have Regular Water Supply Soon The Government of Nepal has highly prioritized providing clean and adequate drinking water to the people of the Kathmandu Valley. It has planned to supply clean and treated water to each household of the Valley as per Nepal Standard. To materialize this plan, the government has developed programs to distribute and improve drinking water supply in a planned way. These programs will help in solving acute shortage of water supply in the valley. This will be ensured through rehabilitation and improvement in the capacity of old and unmanaged pipeline network, service reservoirs and distribution network system. The Melamchi river/water is considered to be the most viable long-term alternative to fulfill the increased demand for adequate and regular water supply in the valley. The government has been implementing programs considering this as a national priority project and establishing Melamchi Water Supply Development Board (MWSDB) in 1998 and Works. In the first phase, about 170 MLD of fresh water will be diverted into Sundarijal from Melamchi River in Helambu VDC through km diversion tunnel. For this, Melamchi Water Supply Project (MWSP) is recommencing the stopped up tunnel construction work and aims to distribute Melamchi water to the people of Kathmandu upon the completion of construction work within 36 months (2016) at the latest. Population of the Kathmandu Valley (Estimated) 3.2 Million (Source: White Paper, 2012, MoUD) Demand of Water Supply in the Kathmandu Valley (Daily) Current Water Supply Status 320 MLD Winter Season 10 0 MLD Rainy Season 16 0 MLD Additional Water Supply from MWSP 170 MLD The government aims at increasing this supply by adding about 170 MLD each from Yangri and Larke rivers The Project Implementation Directorate (PID) - Kathmandu Upatyaka Khanepani Limited (KUKL) - has taken the responsibility to set up essential infrastructure for distributing drinking water to each household of Kathmandu on a regular basis. The PID is executing Kathmandu Valley Water Supply Improvement Project in order to improve water supply services in the Valley with a loan assistance of Asian Development Bank. Upon the completion of tunnel construction, 6 service reservoirs with combined capacity 50,000 cum will be constructed at Mahankalchour, Arubari, Bansbari, Balaju, Panipokhari and Khumaltar as preparedness to collect/reserve Melamchi water. Similarly, laying of DI pipe (1.4 meter diameter) from Sundarijal to Nayapati, Gokarna, and Jorpati VDCs to Mahankalchour (9.6 km) is ongoing. Construction of 50 km long BDS will also be carried out during the project period. Construction of 700 km distribution network system has started. PID has already launched Demo Projects in Baneshwar, Kalopul and Kusunti areas of Kathmandu to reduce non-revenue water (NRW). For Distribution Network Improvement (DNI), construction of pipeline laying will be started at Koteshwar, Subhidhanagar and Narephant areas of DNI-9. The DNI will be carried out on the basis of District Metering Area (DMA). This concept is relatively new to urban water supply system in determining the performance of the system. BDS Pipe laying construction work at Nayapati VDC Remaining DNI of Bhaktapur and Kirtipur areas shall be included in the next phase of the project.

60 Each of the DMA construction w ill carry out the w ork on performance - based contract as follow s: Uniformity and Equity of Service in the Pilot Area: Each DNI zone is further divided into smaller hydraulic service zones, which can be separated and controlled easily to regulate uniform services within the pilot area, Reduction in Unaccounted for Water (UFW)/NRW to 15% with minimum residual pressure at any condition: 1 bar (10m) This work has been started as an essential preparedness to carry the Melamchi water to the Kathmandu Valley. The water will be distributed to each household through a half inch pipeline from the distribution main line, having minimum 3 inch (75 mm) diameter and more. The people will receive the following benefits from the programs: Each household can get water proportionally as equitable distribution system shall be maintained People can drink pure water from the tap directly which has been treated in Water Treatment Plant in Sundarijal DNI Construction work at Koteshwor The drinking water will be supplied to the consumers by using surface and underground water resources until Melamchi water arrives in the Valley. Hence, 16 MLD water has been added to the system daily in rainy season through the improvement in the surface level of Sundarijal, Balaju and Nakkhu River. Improvement in underground resources of 6.8 MLD water has been added to the system daily by constructing tube-wells. Additionally, 15 MLD water into KUKL s regular water distribution system shall be added in the near future by installing additional tube-wells. It is expected that the current scarcity of water supply will be lessened when Melamchi water arrives in the Valley in the next 3 years.
