- Description
- Project 2 will develop improve water supply infrastructures to cater for the demand up to 2026 at the government service standards in Almora, Dehradun, Haldwani, Nainital, Pithoragarh, Ramnagar, and Rookee, and sewerage infrastructures to cater for needs up to 2026 in Ramnagar and Rookee. The works in Dehradun and Nainital is continuation of project 1.
- Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy
Dehradun, Haldwani, Nainital, Ramnagar, and Rookee are the largest cities in Uttarakhand. However, water supply and sewerage service levels are not only below the national standards but also the national averages in may of the benchmarks.
The national targets for water supply coverage is between 94% and 100%, at per capita supply level at 135 litter for 24 house , with physical loss at 20%.
The national average for water supply coverage is 81%, at per capita supply level at 123 litter for 4 house , with physical loss at 25%.
- In Dehradun, water supply coverage is 99%, at per capita supply level at 114 litter for 8 house , with physical loss at 40%.
- In Haldwani, water supply coverage is 54%, at per capita supply level at 90 litter for 5 house , with physical loss at 44%.
- In Nainital, water supply coverage is 59%, at per capita supply level at 92 litter for 6 house , with physical loss at 39%.
- In Ramnagar, water supply coverage is 57%, at per capita supply level at 103 litter for 5 house , with physical loss at 40%.
- In Rookee, water supply coverage is 67%, at per capita supply level at 85 litter for 2 house , with physical loss at 60%. Sewerage coverage is 24% but not sewage treatment is inadequate.
These towns are not able to sustain the key urban services because of the core problem that is, the infrastructure is not adequate in terms of size and condition. This is mainly attributed to inadequate new investment and O&M.
- Impact
People, especially vulnerable households, will have increased access to better quality and sustainable urban infrastructure and services in 31 urban towns.

Stakeholder Communication, Participation, and Consultation
- During Project Design
Public consultation has been conducted to understand the local issues and public views regarding the overall project and possible impacts in Dehradun, Haldwani, Nainital, Ramnagar, and Rookee. Participation, consultation and informational dissemination were incorporated at several levels during planning of the project (i) while conducting poverty and social assessments in communities along the water supply subproject; (ii) validating principles on which entitlements for compensation levels specified; (iii) minimizing the potential adverse impact.
Following the subproject selection criteria, the subproject designs were discussed by the town level committees of the respective towns. A town-committee comprises Mayor or Chairperson, Executive Engineer of local PIU, Municipal Commissioner, Line Agencies' Representatives and NGO and Civil Societies.
