Assessment of Environmental Impact When Intermittent Water Supply of the City is Converted into Continuous Water Supply: A Review on Chandigarh Water Supply System Abstract: Chandigarh, also known as “THE CITY BEAUTIFUL” is a Union Territory (U.T.) and one of the initial well-planned cities in post-independence India. The city has a well-established water supply system along with good network of Sewerage and Storm water system. The city presently has intermittent water supply and availability. The water requirement of the city for both drinking and domestic purposes is: 473.62 MLD, which will increase to 523.41 MLD in 2026. A crucial part of water requirement of the city is met by Sutlej water canal. The water supplied by the canal to the city is approximately 305 MLD. There are 271 deep tube wells in the city, which contribute to a total of 91 MLD of water. Thus, there will be a shortfall of about 49.79 MLD in the future if the water requirements and the current water supplies remains the same. The city also witnesses much higher water consumption in the range 227 LPCD as compared to the National norms of 150 LPCD majorly on account of Non-Revenue Water in the range of 35-40% leading to huge operation and maintenance cost. The Municipal Corporation Chandigarh has planned to propose 24×7 Water supply for the Project area of Chandigarh city, which is to be supported by a special loan from AFD, as part of this project. The source of surface water is from Bhakra Main Canal (BML) and the intake point of water supply is Kajauli Water Pumping station. The BML is an inter-state channel and an extension of Nangal Hydel Channel. The present level of water supply is at 225 LPCD which shall be maintained in which fresh water is supplied at 150 LPCD for consumptive use and rest 75 LPCD as recycled water for non-contact purposes in the Pan Chandigarh city. Due to the utilization of surface water under this project, the energy consumption associated with pumping groundwater is eliminated. This will lead to substantial energy savings and reduction in carbon emissions, ultimately contributing to more carbon credits. This paper deals in a review for assessing the carbon credits earned by switching over to surface water instead of ground water along with sustainable water management practices.
