| Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects | |
|---|---|
| Environmental Aspects | The subprojects are mostly located in and around urban areas where there are no notable environmentally sensitive areas or physical cultural resources. Initial environmental examinations (IEEs) were conducted and IEE reports for five subprojects have been prepared and disclosed. The subprojects are not likely to cause significant adverse environmental impacts that are irreversible, diverse, or unprecedented. The environmental impacts during construction and operations are site-specific, short in duration, and can be avoided and/or mitigated through design considerations and by measures identified in the environmental management plans. The contractors are required to submit site-specific EMPs, and appoint environment, health, and safety officers prior to commencement of works to ensure compliance with local laws, and regulations on labor and workers. |
| Involuntary Resettlement | A resettlement and indigenous peoples plan for Ranchi's water supply subproject, and due diligence reports for balance four subprojects (where no potential involuntary impacts are expected) have been prepared and disclosed. The land required for construction of various subproject components is government owned. Temporary livelihood impacts to 49 shopkeepers during construction are expected in Ranchi. JUIDCO will provide compensation for temporary loss of income and assistance prior to the start of civil works. The proposed mitigation measures and safeguard planning documents are adequate to address the assessed temporary livelihood impacts. |
| Indigenous Peoples | According to 2011 census data, Jharkhand had a population of 32.99 million, of which 8.65 million were members of scheduled tribes. A scheduled tribe population of 218,798 in the project towns will benefit from the project. Scheduled tribe households will benefit from the project. The indigenous peoples impacts have been assessed as positive and the combined resettlement and indigenous peoples plan document for Ranchi is prepared. Only five shopkeepers from scheduled tribes will experience temporary loss of income during pipe laying and road construction for a maximum period of 15 days in Ranchi, and compensation will be provided accordingly. |
