Description The project will provide safe and sustainable drinking water as per the standards set by the Government of India to over 1.65 million people in the arsenic, fluoride, and salinity- affected selected areas of Bankura, North 24 Parganas and Purba Medinipur districts of West Bengal (project districts). It will introduce an innovative and sustainable institutional framework and advanced technology for smart water management to enable efficient service delivery in project districts.
Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy The project will adopt a sector approach. All subprojects will be selected and proposed for funding adhering to the agreed subproject selection criteria for the project, only within the project districts, only unless otherwise agreed with ADB. The subprojects proposed under the project stem from a district-wide comprehensive water quality and sustainability planning and completion of the Drinking Water Quality Action Plan for the concerned district. The Drinking Water Quality Action Plan for the project districts supported by the project were prepared by the executing agency, the Public Health and Engineering Department of the Government of West Bengal, with support of project preparatory consultants from the Asian Development Bank, and has been adopted by Public Health and Engineering Department to guide present and future drinking water improvement in the districts.

Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects
Environmental Aspects The project is classified as category B for environmental safeguards as per the ADB SPS. Subprojects projected to have potentially significant adverse environmental impacts (categorized as A) will not be considered for implementation under the project. The EARF (i) provides an indicative list of subprojects to be financed under WBDWSIP; (ii) subproject selection criteria including environmental considerations to be followed during project implementation; (iii) specifies the requirements that will be followed in subproject screening and categorization, assessment, planning, implementation and monitoring; (iv) provides general anticipated environmental impacts of the subprojects to guide development of mitigation measures and monitoring parameters to be included in subproject design, construction and operation; (iv), includes GRM, requirements of meaningful consultation with affected person and other stakeholders and information disclosure; (v) provides safeguards implementation arrangement and identifies capacity building requirements, indicative budget and (vi) specifies monitoring and reporting requirements. Draft IEEs were prepared for Haroa and Bhangur bulk and distribution network schemes, Bankura and East Medinipur bulk and distribution networks subprojects/packages. These are disclosed on executing agency's website and included in bidding documents.
Involuntary Resettlement The project is classified as category B for involuntary resettlement as per ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). No land acquisition is envisaged; private land will be obtained through negotiated settlement only if no government land is available. Nevertheless, the project will cause limited involuntary resettlement impacts, including (i) permanent economic impacts on tenants, leaseholders and sharecroppers on government and purchased land; and (ii) temporary impacts during the civil works activities. Four draft resettlement plans and six Due Diligence Reports (DDR) were prepared on subproject components in accordance with the ADB SPS and government laws. The PMU and PIUs will ensure that the plans are implemented, including to ensure that physically or economically affected persons are compensated prior to displacement in components ready for construction. The following are institutional roles and responsibilities to ensure resettlement plans are implemented during design and construction stages. A resettlement framework and Indigenous People Planning Framework were prepared and discussed with the government (disclosed by the executing agency) to provide guidance when preparing mitigation plans for any involuntary resettlement and Indigenous People impacts and risks identified during the project implementation.
Indigenous Peoples Scheduled tribes comprise 7.8% of the rural population of West Bengal, and 11.1% of the rural population in Bankura, 4.6% in North 24 Parganas and 1.5% in South 24 Parganas districts, where sample subprojects are proposed. They will be the beneficiaries of the improvement of water supply facilities and of the livelihood support program. A resettlement framework and Indigenous People Planning Framework were prepared and discussed with the government (disclosed by executing agency) to provide guidance when preparing mitigation plans for any involuntary resettlement and Indigenous People impacts and risks identified during the project implementation. IPP is under preparation for Bankura bulk.
