Introduction

Khulna Water Supply Project


1.1 INTRODUCTION:

Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated country in the world. Despite stable

economic growth, Rapid urbanization in recent days has been an added challenge for

proper governance and service. At present about 28% of the national population of

150 million people are living in the urban areas (2011), City Corporations and

Municipalities commonly referred to as Pourashava or Urban Local Body (ULB). With

rapid urbanization, particularly in district towns and Pourashavas, there is even

greater pressure exerted on basic urban services such as water supply, sanitation,

sewage and drainage, solid waste management and urban transport. Water supply is

inadequate, traffic congestion has worsened, drainage channels are blocked and

inadequate, solid waste management practices are poor and pollution levels (water,

air, noise) have increased, posing significant health risks to the population.

Khulna, the third largest city in Bangladesh, is located in the southwest area of the country

and has a population of 1.5 million (2008). To cope with current insufficient water supply and

increasing demand, the Khulna Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (KWASA) plans to

improve the existing water supply system with assistance from the Japan International

Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Asian Development Bank (ADB). The Khulna Water Supply

Project (the Project) will be co-financed by the JICA and ADB and is being formulated as a

project loan with key investments to be implemented over a 5-year period (2011 to 2016).

The Project envisages a major improvement to the public water supply system and aims to

improve the quality of life for all residents and businesses in Khulna City.

To address the water supply issues in Khulna City, the KWSP proposes a surface water system

sourced from the Mollahat intake point on the bank of Modhumati River in Bagherhat District.

The raw water from the Modhumati River will be stored into an Impounding Reservoir (IPR)

and then transmitted to a Water Treatment Plant (WTP) at Village: SamontoSena (UZ: Rupsha,

Khulna District) with the purified water (total quantity water 110MLD) to be distributed

through a system of smaller storage reservoirs and overhead tanks and delivered to

consumers in Khulna City Corporation (KCC). Under this project 110 MLD quality water will be

from the Deep Tube Wells (existing DTWs, regenerations & new DTWs) for the KCC.

The construction of the above water supply infrastructure involves massive activities which

have both positive & negative impacts on the environment. To overcome the negative

impacts and enhance the positive impacts, an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is

essential to make the project environmentally sound & sustainable.

THE PROJECT

The KWSP proposes a surface water system sourced from the Mollahat intake point on the

left bank of Modhumati River in Bagherhat District approximately 33 km from the Khulna City.

Just after collecting raw water from the Modhumati River at Mollahat point, water will be

transmitted by Raw Water Transmission Pipeline (RWTP) for storing into an impounding

reservoir (IPR) and then transmitted to a Surface Water Treatment Plant (SWTP) at Village:

SamontoSena with the purified water to be distributed through Clear Water Transmission

Pipeline (CWTP), a system of 7 Ground Reservoirs (GRs) and 10 Overhead Tanks (OHTs) and


delivered to consumers in the Khulna City Corporation (KCC) by about a total of 600km long

Distribution Pipelines of various diameters. Another source of water is ground water from the

DTWs of the KCC.

The project is located in Bagerhat District (UZ:Mollahat&Fakirhat) & Khulna District (UZ:

Rupsha& KCC). Physical infrastructure to be developed and financed by the Project includes

the following:

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ANDMONITORING PLAN

The EMMP consists of a set of mitigation, monitoring and implementation arrangements to be taken

during preconstruction, construction and operation stages of the project. The EMMP also includes the

actions needed for implementation of these measures. The major components of the EMMP are:

▪ Mitigation Plan;

▪ Monitoring Plan; and

▪ Implementation Arrangement.

1.3GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISM


The proposed Grievance Redress mechanism (GRM) will be developed for the Project

in order to settle as many disputes as possible through consultations. Such a

mechanism is important as it is expected that most cases, if not all, would be resolved

amicably; and the process, as a whole, will promote dispute settlement through

mediation to reduce litigation. However, the options of legal recourse will not be

restricted in any way by the project proponent.

The basic objective of the GRM shall be to provide an accessible mechanism to the

affected people, community and any stakeholder(s) having stake in the project to raise

their issues and grievances as well as concerns. The Grievance Redress Cell (GRC) shall

e offi iall e og ized o -judi ial od that ill seek to esol e o -judicial

disputes arising out of various matters related to the implementation of the ESMP, as

well as other aspects of the project, as may deemed fit to be raised before the GRC.

The fundamental objective of GRM is to resolve any resettlement and environmental

related grievances locally in consultation with the aggrieved party to facilitate smooth

implementation of the EMP. Another important objective is to democratize the

development process at the local level and to establish accountability towards the

stakeholders.

The GRM for the Project is outlined below and consists of three levels with time-bound

schedules for addressing grievances. The first level and most accessible and immediate

venue for the fastest resolution of grievances is the PMU, chiefly through the PMU

Environmental Officer and Project Director, with assistance from the Environmental

Specialist (National) of the design and supervision consultant (DSC). The contact phone

number of the PMU will be posted in public areas in the project area and construction

sites. Grievances will be resolved through continuous interactions with affected

persons and the PMU will answer queries and resolve grievances regarding various

issues including contractor performance, environmental impacts of the Project (noise,

air, traffic, etc.), land acquisition, structures acquisition, livelihood impacts,

entitlements, and assistance. Corrective measures will be undertaken at the field-level

itself within seven (7) days. All grievances will be documented with full information of

the person (name, address, date of complaint, etc.) and the issue.

Should the grievance remain unresolved, the PMU's Project Director, will activate the

second level of the GRM by referring the issue (with written documentation) to the

local Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) of the KWASA, who will, based on review of

the grievances, address them in consultation with the PMU Resettlement Officer and

Project Director and affected persons. The local GRC will consist of the following

persons:

I) Project Director, KWSP (GRC Chair);


II) Executive Engineer (EU), KWSP;

III) Representative of the Mayor of KCC;

IV) Affected person or representative of the affected person(s);

V) Representative of the local District Commissioners office;

VI) Rep ese tati e of the Depa t e t of E i o e t’s DOE di isio al office, Khulna; and

VII) DSC Environmental Specialist.

The functions of the local GRC are as follows:

i) provide support to affected persons on problems arising from land

acquisition (temporary or permanent); asset acquisition; and eligibility

for entitlements, compensation and assistance;

ii) record grievances of affected persons, categorize and prioritize them and

provide solutions fifteen (15) days; and

iii) report to the aggrieved parties about developments regarding their

grievances and decisions of the GRC.

1.5 ADB Safeguards Policy Statement, 2009

The EMP report, prepared by the DSC should be followed by the contractors

properly. With the assistance of the FD, PMU of KWASA will plant about 4000

trees during operation stage (preferably during monsoon period) of the project.

ADB Safeguards Policy Statement, 2009

The ADB SPS stipulates addressing environmental concerns, if any, of a proposed

activity in the initial stages of project preparation. For this, the SPS categorizes the

proposed components into categories (A, B or C) to determine the level of

environmental assessment required to address the potential impacts. The Project has

been categorized as B since no significant impacts are anticipated. Accordingly this IEE

is prepared to address the potential impacts. Stakeholder consultation was an integral

part of the IEE. An EMP outlining the specific environmental measures to be adhered

to during implementation of the Project has been prepared. Disclosure, consultation,

and reporting requirements are also described herein.

JICA Guidelines for Environmental and Social Considerations (2002)

The P oje t is lassified as Catego B i a o da e ith JICA’s Guideli es fo Environmental and Social Considerations (2002). JICA discloses the results of such

categorization on its website—including the name of each project and its country,

location, project outline, category, and its reason—before making the decision to

undertake preparatory surveys. When project documents on environmental and social

considerations are available, JICA makes any necessary confirmation of the contents


prior to the surveys. In doing so, JICA endeavors to ensure transparency, predictability,

and accountability in its support for and examination of environmental and social

considerations. JICA confirms that projects comply with the laws or standards related

to the environment and local communities in the central and local governments of

host ou t ies; it also o fi s that p oje ts o fo to those go e e ts’ poli ies and plans on the environment and local communities.

1.5 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The proposed interventions under the Khulna Water Supply Project will improve

environmental conditions in the project area. There are no environmentally sensitive

areas or features in the project area that will be impacted adversely due to the

proposed interventions. The proposed Project will conform to all Government of

Bangladesh, JICA and ADB regulations, policies, and standards including obtaining all

necessary government permits and clearances.

The significance of environmental impacts will be more due to the construction-

related impacts. It is noted that the resultant potential impacts from these proposals

can be offset through provision of proven mitigation measures during design, and

adoption of good engineering practices during construction and implementation.

Further, the provision of water supply will greatly improve the environmental

conditions in the project area, in terms of improved access to treated water, and also

reduce the existing pressure on groundwater extraction. The specific management

measures laid down in the EMP will effectively address any adverse environmental

impacts due to the Project.The effective implementation of the measures proposed

will be ensured through building capacity towards environmental management within

the PMU supplemented with the technical expertise of an Environmental Specialist as

part of the DSC Consultants. Further, environmental monitoring plans provide

adequate opportunities towards course correction to address any residual impacts

during construction or operation stage. Total approximate budget is 27,200 USD.

Findings:

Through adopting the Bangladesh Government and ADB & JICA Environmental

Policies, the Team were not able to identify and significant negative environmental

impact. If any negative environmental impact will be definite possible to mitigate

properly through EMP.

IT IS CONCLUDED FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING ASSESSMENT THAT:

a) Land acquisition were need

b) Crops compensation were need

c) Re-settlement were required

d) The project was not result any un-wanted loss of National resources and any

adverse impact on the forest reserved.

e) The project was not causing any additional hazards to endanger species, flora

and fauna.

Recommendation:

The construction of Khulna Water Supply Project underKWASA area,were not caused

insignificant adverse environmental impacts but in the future construction work, if any

negative impacts will caused, will be mitigated through implementing the EMP of the

IEE of the project. Implementation of the prescribed mitigation measures will minimize

the predicted adverse impacts. Moreover, the impacts will be monitored continuous

by implementing and updating the EMMP. It could be mentioned that the continuous

monitoring is needed during construction and operational phases.


Conclusion:

It is concluded from the environmental monitoring assessment that:

a) Land acquisition was need

b) Crops compensation was need

c) Re-settlement were required

d) Child labour (i.e. below 15 years age) was not found.

e) The Khulna Water SupplyProject was not result any un-wanted loss of National

resources and any adverse impact on the forest reserved.

The improvement of all the Khulna Water Supply Project care not caused any adverse

environmental impacts whereas, the construction works are ongoing. Implementation

of the EMP of the IEE of the projects were minimizing the predicted adverse impacts.

Moreover, the impacts will be monitored continuously by implementing and updating
