Understanding and Objectives :-

Introduction :

We will have pleasure in providing Services for Implementation of “Preparation of Social Impact
Assessment & Social Management Plan for Andhra Pradesh Urban Water Suply & Septage Management
Improvement Project ( APUWS&SMIP) in 21 ULBs of Andhra Pradesh and trust that we have been fully
responsive. The objective of the project are clear and we are familiar with the requirements for such
project. Our key as well as support staff have substantial previous experience in construction supervision,
and of the geographical and cultural working environment in which the project will be undertaken.

We aim to provide the right team balance in order to deliver a successful project of Andhra Pradesh
Urban Finance & Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited.

Our Objectives:

The objective of our organisation is to implement the project successful on behalf of Andhra Pradesh
Urban Finance & Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited. Terms of Reference, makes this
absolutely clear, and we will impress this objective on the Team Leader and his team. Further, we are
confident that we have selected a team capable of doing so.

By successful implementation, we mean essentially that the project is to be delivered to the required
quality, on time, and within budget.

A further objective is optimizing the scope for technology transfer in the course of the project. This will
be achieved by structured programmes of on-the job skills enhancement for both the attached staff and
for those of our associates.

Description of Approach, Methodology and implementation plan

The Water supply Scenario :

Infrastructure & Institutions for Water Storage and Supply Water from nature reaches the end users by
harnessing it by developing appropriate infrastructure. It is important to have a robust and advanced
water supply infrastructure to supply water into the distribution network. The state of Andhra Pradesh
has developed or is in the process of developing major storages (such as dams that are possible
considering water availability and topography. Supporting infrastructure such as canals and water
conservation structures (tanks) need to be enhanced further. Additionally, operational efficiencies need
to be brought in.
Urban Supply & Treatment Urban Water Supply in Andhra Pradesh is under the purview of the Public
Health and Municipal Engineering Department which is under the administrative control of the
Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department at the Secretariat level. The Department
is in charge of formulation, designs, and execution of water supply and sewerage schemes in all the 110
municipalities (including 97 municipalities, 12 Municipal Corporations and 1 Greater Municipal
Corporation). After construction and operationalization, the Water Supply and Sewerage Schemes are
handed over to the concerned Municipal Corporations and Municipalities for operation and
maintenance. In 2015, 88 percent of the urban population is covered with piped water supply system in
the urban areas of Andhra Pradesh. There is no metering in urban areas and flat rates are applied. The
current total capacity of sewage treatment facilities across the State is only 288 MLD, which has the
ability to treat only 28 percent of the total sewage generated in the urban areas. The gap between
sewage generated and treated is 52 percent considering that 80 percent of the water supplied comes
back as sewage. The government of AP is planning to increase the capacity of the STPs by 178 MLD,
which are in various stages of construction.

Demand Scenario :

To bring equity in the supply of water, it is necessary to understand the demand requirements of our
society. Demand based planning is necessary for the overall growth of the economy. This demand also
needs to be mapped to the infrastructure available and its utilization efficiency.

Domestic Water :
Against a total demand for drinking water of 1.48 BCM, the current supply is 0.91 BCM leaving a gap 0.57
BCM(38.5%). About 0.7 BCM of untreated grey and black water is being released into the lakes and
streams causing pollution. If reused and recycled properly, there can be several productive uses of waste
water except human consumption. The used water, after primary treatment, can be used for gardening
and toilet flushing. Secondary treatment of water can make it usable for more commercial purposes such
as farm irrigation in peri-urban areas. This can lead to significant water savings. All leading countries
have implemented such measures with great success. Singapore is a leader in recycling of water where
each drop of water is recycled several times. Singapore has been also able to make recycled water of
potable quality. Israel also recycles 75 percent of its domestic wastewater. The way forward for our
domestic use of water would be implementing the reuse and recycle techniques through changes in our
building codes and designing systems with proper color coding for different uses. Currently the reuse and
recycling of water is negligible. Even if 50 percent of the water is reused and recycled, the availability of
ground water during the dry seasons would increase substantially. Conventional methods such as soak
pits around homes for growing kitchen gardens and vegetable creepers can also save water as well as
increase productivity.

Implementation plan

Step 1 – Inception report

Inception report will be submitted after one week of agreement with detailed approach
and methodology, Details of survey team and office executives, orientation programs
and team mobilization.

Step 2 – Approach

Following are the broad approaches while conducting the works associated with the assignment:
 The consultant will adopt a consultative, systematic, participative, analytical, and
rational approach towards conducting this study using appropriate quantitative and
qualitative methods for data/ information collection and analysis
 It will actively seek participation of Key Stakeholders to understand their perceptions
and to collect data/information related to the study, hold regular consultation with the
client and ratify steps towards final attaining the objective
 Along with Key personnel, support staff including supervisors, enumerators, data analyst
with the best skill sets and experience mix available for the tasks at hand will be
deployed for undertaking the assignment.
 The agency will take steps to apprise the client of the progress of the study and will clear
each milestone as per study requirements.
Step 3 – Approach

The field survey strategy will be in accordance with the sample size. The purpose of the field study will
be to:
1.Review and compare the data prepared by the DPR Consultant and get an overview of the scheme and
its implementation ,
2. Orientation of field team for understanding objectives and methodology of survey.
3. Food survey along the water pipeline ,Transact walk to assess social impact.
4. Stakeholder Consultation and documentation.
5. FGD with PAPs and Women.
6. Socio –economic survey of project affected households
7. Final Documentation.
Methodology:
1. Selection of field staff.
2. Development of study tools,
The study tools will include following questionnaires
(i) Web based Questionnaire for households
(ii) Tablets with geo referencing application
3. Orientation of field team/On job training
4. Mobilization team/ Monitoring of survey process/photography & Videography
5. Computerization of collected data & Preparation of final report.
