K?r?ehir Municipality intended to benefit from World Bank via Iller Bank for financing of the Project. According to the procedures of World Bank, for the financing of Projects improving the infrastructure, the first activity for the application, planning and coordination of the works is the preparation of “Feasibility Study”. Later, according to the findings of the feasibility study, “Implementation” stage shall be started. The studies done during preparation of this document (Environmental Management Plan) are being executed parallel to the feasibility studies. Among the findings mentioned in this report, actions shall be defined to decrease the impact of the Project on environment during both construction and operation. PROJECT’S LEGAL FRAMEWORK Legal framework of the Project is defined according to Turkish and EU Legislation as well as World Bank Procedures. These legislative issues (law and regulations) and procedures are summarised as following.LEGAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE MUNICIPALITIES Municipalities Law (5215) According to Article 14 of the Municipalities Law, municipalities are responsible for supplying water and sewerage systems. Article 15 of the same law holds municipalities responsible for supplying potable and industrial water, disposal of wastewater and stormwater, construction and operation of required plants for these services. Environmental Law (2872)According to Article 8 of Environmental Law No: 2872 “Actions such as directly or indirectly dumping wastes into receiving media or storage, transportation or removal thereof in such a manner as to create damages to the environment and contrary to the standards and methods prescribed in respective Regulations are banned”. Regulation on Quality of Water Intended For Human Consumption The purpose of this Regulation dated 2005 defines the procedures and principles for suitability of technical and hygienic conditions of water used for human consumption, ensuring the quality standards for supply, packaging, labelling, marketing and inspection of spring water and drinking waters. Relevant to K?r?ehir Project, regular analysis have been done for ensuring the procedures mentioned in this Regulation. In the next chapters these analysis and requirements are explained. Water Pollution Control RegulationWater Pollution Control Regulation provides the legal and technical foundations required in order to protect the potential of surface and underground water resources of the Country and to ensure their optimum use within the best manner and prevent their pollution, which are all to be realized in conformity with sustainable development targets. Environmental Impact Assessment RegulationThe Regulation on Environmental Impact Assessment (2008) governs environmental impact assessment of investment projects in Turkey and is largely in line with the EU Directive on EIA. Since K?r?ehir Project is about rehabilitation of potable water systems, it’s not under the scope of EIA Regulation Appendix I and Appendix II List. Accordingly, Project Introduction Report or Environmental Assessment Report shall not be prepared. However, an environmental assessment shall be done via preparing an “Environmental Management Plan” according to the requirements of World Bank procedures which is mentioned in next chapters.Except these regulations, below regulations shall be taken into consideration during Project and Environmental Management Plan implementation.Urban Wastewater Treatment RegulationRegulation on Control of Excavation Material, Construction and Demolition Waste Regulation on Control of Waste OilsRegulation on Control of Hazardous WasteRegulation on Assessment and Management of Environmental NoiseRegulation on Control of Packages and Packaging WasteRegulation on Control of Soil PollutionRegulation on Control of Exhaust Emissions sourced from Motor Land VehiclesEUROPEAN UNION LEGISLATION Relevant to our Project, European Union Directives about water sector which is one of the 7 sectors on EU environmental legislation is as follows: Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC)Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (91/27/EEC)Council Directive concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources (91/676/EEC)Council Directive on the quality of water intended for human consumption (98/83/EC)Council Directive concerning the quality required of surface water intended for the abstraction of drinking water in member states (75/440/EEC)Directive concerning the discharge of dangerous substances into water (76/464/EEC)Directive concerning the management of bathing water quality (76/160/EEC)Directive on the protection of the environment, and in particular of the soil, when sewage sludge is used in agriculture (86/278/EEC)Council Directive on the protection of groundwater against pollution caused by certain dangerous substances (80/68/EEC)In scope activities for approximation of legislation with EU Legislation, targets are defined. For the approximation of environmental legislation, relevant targets and programmes are planned in the content of U?ES (National Environmental Strategy and Action Plan). Accordingly, most of these directives are endorsed into Turkish environmental legislation. Only approximation studies about “Water Framework Directive” still continues.WORLD BANK PROCEDURESEnvironmental Assessment (OP 4.01)Activities carried out under the project will conform to current Turkish Environmental Regulations and Procedures and the World Bank’s Safeguards Policies, specifically including Environmental Assessment (EA) policy outlined in Operational Policy 4.01, and others where applicable. Under the World Bank’s procedure for EA, the projects are classified under the following categories:In means of Environmental Assessment, Turkish Legislation and Worldbank procedures shows some differences. The Regulation on Environmental Impact Assessment (2008) governs environmental impact assessment of investment projects in Turkey and is largely in line with the EU Directive on EIA. Since K?r?ehir Project is about rehabilitation of potable water systems, it’s not under the scope of EIA Regulation Appendix I and Appendix II List. Accordingly, Project Introduction Report or Environmental Assessment Report shall not be prepared. According to World Bank procedures, Projects are classified in 3 categories and scope of the environmental assessment of theses 3 categories differs: Category A: Project is likely to have significant impacts that may be sensitive, irreversible and diverse, or unprecedented. The impacts may affect an area broader that the sites of facilities subject to the physical works.Category B: The impact on human population or environmentally important areas is less adverse than those of Category A projects. The impacts are site specific and few, if any, are irreversible.Category C: Minimal or no adverse environmental impactK?r?ehir Project is in “Category B”. Although, World Bank procedures doesn’t necessitate a full EIA study for Category B projects, but preparation of “Environmental Management Plan” and public participation meeting is obligatory. Accordingly, during execution of the Project (construction & operation), mitigation measures shall be taken to minimize the environmental effects and monitoring plans shall be prepared for better implementation of these mitigation measures.This “Environmental Management Plan” is prepared accordingly. Cultural Property (OPN 11.03)The principal issue is the identification of “chance finds” during construction. Turkish laws and practices meet the World Bank requirements. Law No. 2863 dd. 21.07.1983 on the Protection of Cultural and Natural Assets (revised through the amendment issued on 27.07.2004 dated Official Gazette) as well as the Regulation on Researches, Drillings and Excavations in Relation to the Cultural and Natural Assets, which was published in the Official Gazette No. 18485 dd. 10.08.1994, for example, define the proceedings and obligations concerning the cultural and natural assets found out during construction. The Municipalities are responsible for the application of the said law and regulation. As part of the regular reporting, the Municipalities will inform IB of the historical and cultural findings, if any, as well as the actions taken.Involuntary Resettlement (OP/BP 4.12)A Land Acquisition Framework which meets the requirements of this OP will be prepared and will be utilizedPROJECT LOCATIONK?r?ehir city is located in inner K?z?l?rmak part of Central Anatolian Region. Centrum is located at 34 degrees, 10 minutes east longitude and 39 degrees 8 minutes north latitude. The city is neighbouring Nev?ehir, Aksaray, K?r?kkale, Ankara and Yozgat. It’s height from the sea level is averagely 985 m. K?r?ehir Region is part of Central Anatolian Massif. “K?r?ehir Massif” which is inside K?z?l?rmak arch is one of the 9 biggest massifs of Turkey. It’s presumed that it also continues under Salt Lake. K?r?ehir Massif has a thickness about 2000-2500 m.K?r?ehir has a surface area of 6.665 km2. It has a total (city centre and villages) population of 223.102. It is at 985 meters above sea level. Its districts are Akcakent, Akpinar, Boztepe, Cicekdagi, Kaman, and Mucur. The location of Project is K?r?ehir Province, city centre. Project location on Turkey map and K?r?ehir Province Map is given in Figure 3.1 and Figure 3.2. KIR?EH?RFigure: STYLEREF 1 \s 3.

The forecasted populations are as the following: Table: 3.2- Project Population Forecasts202020302040K?r?ehir - Centrum113.000176.000275.000General Geology K?r?ehir region is a part of Middle Anatolian Massive. It is guessed that K?r?ehir Massif is the biggest of Turkey’s 9 big massifs in K?z?l?rmak Arch; lay out under the Tuz Lake. K?r?ehir massif has approximately 2000-2500 m thickness. Surface shape of the province and Central Anatolia consist of crystaled old rock have occurred in Third Geological Age’s Mesoic up Reosen era. It is possible to observe all examples of carstic structures in K?r?ehir. It is at the east of Central Anatolian basin which biggest closed basin of Turkey. This basin is an important effect for surface shape and climate. Third Age properties are observed for occurrence of natural structure of region. Region has got its main structure during convolution of Alps. If region is inspected geologically, four different types of occurrence and era can be observed. New alluviums takes place in a wide area at east of line (Seyfe Lake settling land) for fault lay through Northwest Southeast direction, crystaled schist in metamorphosis series, on the west marbled limestone and small amount of dolomite also exists. Other locations are covered by sediments till third age’s second half.Direction of Central Anatolian metamorphosis series of the regions crystaled masses differ region to region. This region is around K?r?ehir-Kaman and northwest southeast direction. Marbles of Kervansaray Mountains next to K?r?ehir is pushed onto layers of southeast lutesyen. Metamorphosis age of K?r?ehir crystaled massifs are not defined certainly. But it is well known that age of metamorphosis of Kaman Karalan Mountains is in Cretaceous age. It is assumed that occurrence under metamorphosis layers belong to Palaeozoic age. If northwest of K?r?ehir investigated through Kalkanl? Kargasekmez chain of mountains’ northeast-southwest with horizontal section, schist with lime, fillat and green schist, marble zones, fine particled crystallised quartz and musco schist, calcite and marble strata are seen respectively.Seismicity Characteristics K?r?ehir is located on Middle Anatolia fault line. Most parts of the city is under 1st or 2nd degree earthquake zone as can be seen from the below figure. There are 2 important fault lines; one on northwest-southeast direction and the other is on Ankara-K?r?ehir border.Seismicity zones1. Degree2. Degree3. Degree4. Degree5. DegreeFigure: STYLEREF 1 \s 3. SEQ ?ekil \* ARABIC \s 1 3- SeismicityMeteorological CharacteristicsIn K?r?ehir, typical terrestrial climate is observed. In winter time, it’s cold and though, in summer time it’s hot and dry. According to results of State’s Meteorological Works – Regional Directorate analysis results, some meteorological data is as follows:Table: 3.3- Meteorological DataMonths123456789101112Average temperature ( Co )-5,1-3,49,313,214,720,723,724,819,412,57,70,1Average precipitation (mm)35,128,034,927,031,745,62,5035,466,934,90,6Average relative moisture (%)77,876,960,455,652,043,537,139,250,368,775,687,8Average wind speed (m/s)2,32,02,12,42,12,94,32,92,42,41,61,7National Parks, Natural Parks and Nature Protection Parks in the Region Inside the borders of K?r?ehir, there is no national park, natural park or natural monument. Only, Seyfe Lake and its surrounding 10.700 ha area is defined as “Natural Protection Area” with the decision of Council of Ministers in 1990. The lake’s water is salty and its sodium content is high. It has a depth of maximum 165 cm. Seyfe Lake is at 16 km far in the north of Mucur District and on the northeast part of K?r?ehir city centre (30 km far). It’s classified as “A” type wetland. Seyfe catchment area covers an area of 152.200 ha, which 23.585 ha is defined as “1st Degree Site Area” in 1989, 10.700 ha around Lake is defined as “Natural Protection Area” and also included in RAMSAR Convention in 1994. So it’s committed to protect the natural structure and ecological characteristics. Ecological CharacteristicsK?r?ehir’s vegetation is observed as steppes, there are also bushes in some places. The only forest area exist in north parts of ?i?ekda?? region, around Ak?akent District which consists oak and juniper trees. Forest area covers 2% of whole city area. For K?r?ehir, there isn’t any study available related to flora, fauna, species and populations. However there are some studies done around Seyfe Lake and its surrounding. According to these studies, 289 floral species that belong to 53 family have been identified. 27 of them (2%) are classified as endemic and 2 of them are classified as rare (Class R). Related to fauna, there are some species exists around Seyfe Lake which is included in Appendix 2, Appendix 3 and ERL list of Bern Convention and which needs special attention and protection. Cultural HeritageThere are some historic and archaeological artefacts which are registered by Ministry of Culture. In city centre there are many structures built in the past that is still in use. Most commonly known are, Alaeddin Mosque, Cacabey Mosque, Alenderbaba Tomb, Kapucu Mosque, Ahi Evran Hermitage, Kesikk?prü Caravanserai and bridge which are built during Ottoman and Seljuk Era. The artefacts found in archaeological excavations in the region are exhibited in K?r?ehir Cultural Center. In light of the excavations and findings, from the Chalcolithic ages till today, K?r?ehir has a history of 7000 years. Coins, stone works and ceramics from Greek, Byzantine, Roman and Islamic ages are exhibited in K?r?ehir Museum. In ?a??rkan town which is located in Kaman District, clay pots from Phrygian period have been found. Excavations are continuing. Socio-economical Situation In K?r?ehir, economic life is mainly depend on agriculture. Industrialisation has been increased after the Province is defined as a “prioritised cities for development” in 1973. In the beginning periods of industrialisation, Entities preferred locations which are close to Centrum, district centres and places where raw material is easily accessible. Today entities also prefer the most economical and appropriate locations for production and trading. The industries begin to gather in Organised Industrial Region which is newly established in G?lhisar-??decik region, 12 km far to city centre. According to 2002 data, in the city there are 19 flour factories, 4 animal feed factories, 1 drill bit factory, 1 lime factory, 1 steel ball factory, 1 brick factory, 1 mushroom factory, 1 crude oil factory, 1 filling station, 1 rubber factory, 1 sugar factory, 1 calcite production factory, 1 integrated meat factory, 1 dairy, 1 painting industry exists.EXISTING POTABLE WATER, WASTEWATER AND STORM WATER SYSTEM Potable Water SystemK?r?ehir’s potable water demand is supplied from underground sources. Total capacity of the wells are 695,68 l/sec. Total 15 wells are located at 4 different well field (?zba?, Selafur, ?kse, ?tfaiye) areas.

There are both steel pipes and asbestos cement pipes with diameters between DN250 up to DN800. Some of the transmission lines need repair or maintenance due to damages occurred.In total, there are 14 reservoirs in K?r?ehir, supplying water to the city via gravity. Total storage volume of the distribution reservoirs amounts to 19,700 m?. Some of the reservoirs were found to be in a rather poor state of repair. All of the reservoirs showed signs of cracks through which water leaks. Water stored in reservoirs is chlorinated before it is distributed into the network.Table: 3.5- Exisiting Reservoirs and capacitiesReservoir NameSupplyingStorage volume (m?)Maximum water level (m)Minimum water level (m)Merkez 1Zone 85.0001064,941059,94Merkez 2Zone 82.5001065,281060,78Kümbetalt? 1Zone 73.0001030,431026,43Kümbetalt? 2Zone 72.0001029,281025,78K?ndamZone 97001133,501029,00Ba?ba?? 1Zone 61.5001039,401035,40Ba?ba?? 2Zone 5-41.5001089,211085,21Mehtap 1Zone 32.5001084,021079,52Mehtap 2Zone 26001144,151139,65Mehtap 3Zone 14001202,201198,70There are a total of 4 potable water pumping stations in K?r?ehir. They were constructed to convey the water from Zone 3 reservoirs to middle and high zone reservoirs of the area.

These are designed to be supplied from dedicated reservoirs. Pipe material is generally asbestos cement (ACP). The existing network system doesn’t cover all settlement area in urban development plans. The other problem in water supply system is intermittent supply in some areas. Usually supplies are alternated such that one area receives water in the morning and the other in the evening. This is assumed to be due to low pressures at high demand. The network systems in these areas are laid primitively without design by the municipality. According to information received from the municipality, pipe diameters and lengths of the network are given in the following table.Table: 3.7- Exisiting Network Pipe Diameters and LengthsPipe diameter (mm)Length (m)80160100327.77112522.32715039.4211751.62020022.56525012.62230011.0343504.3134007.1825004.172Total453.187Water QualityStored water in reservoirs is chlorinated before it is distributed into the networks. Chlorination is performed in Merkez 1, K?ndam, Ba?ba?i 2 and Mehtap 1 Reservoir. Chlorination equipments consist of a dosing pump and a control panel. Chlorination dosing is done automatically.Water quality samples are taken from the network and reservoirs on a regular once-per-day basis. The analyses are done daily to measure chlorination balance in the water. Sampling results are safe to drink at the locations checked. Also samples are taken from the reservoir on once-per year and sent to National Reference Lab in Ankara to be analyzed. Water LossesThe difference between daily water production amount and daily billed water for one year can give roughly a figure for water loss in K?r?ehir Water Supply System. With this approach daily billed water is 10,918 m?/day. Billed daily water is 23 % of daily water production. The remaining part of the water production constitutes the water loss. Compared with billed consumption it amounts to 77 %. Components of unaccounted for water are given in the following table:Table: 3.8- Components of Unaccounted for Water Total DemandThe total of water produced from all sources. Billed WaterThis represents the total amount of water that has been billed to customers. There are two elements, volumes obtained from meter reading and volumes determined by assessment for example unmetered customers or when meter readings are not available because of stopped meters.Free WaterWater supplied free. For example to mosques, public drinking water taps and fountains, parks and cemeteries, municipal buildings. Metering LossesLosses arising as a result of the inaccuracies of customer and source meters.Illegal Use/Illegal ConnectionWater taken from illegal connections to the water supply or unregistered connection.Leakage from house connectionAll leakage between the main and the customer meter. This includes the connection to the main and losses on the private supply pipe.Leakage from MainsAll leakage from pipes and valves.Production LossesLeakage from storage reservoirs.Billing LossesEstimated readings, assessed readingsCurrent Sewerage System And Wastewater Treatment Plant K?r?ehir wastewater collection system is designed to be by means of separate systems. The existing sewage network has currently a total length of approx. 238 km with 13 km main collectors (diameter bigger than 400 mm up to 1.200 mm) and covers an area of more than 5000 ha within the city. In these days the sewage water is produced by approx. 105.826 Inhabitants and some industries. The domestic wastewater of the city of K?r?ehir is currently discharged to the receiving water bodies K?l???zü Creek which flows to K?z?l?rmak at the end without any treatment.The collection network in the most cases consists of pipes with diameter 200 mm. These pipes are in many places under dimensioned or laid to flat gradient what leads to blockages. The main discharge point of the domestic wastewater collected in K?r?ehir is in the south of the city nearby Demircidere. This main outfall sewer with a final diameter of 1,200 mm collects the wastewater from two main sewers located both sides of K?l???zü Creek and discharges into the K?z?l?rmak River. There are three main problems within the city's networks:Collection systems are not available everywhere. New houses have been constructed where only one system is available, and this has consequently been used for the connection regardless of its original designation. Even for the main collectors the separation is not consequently kept.The hydraulic capacity of the systems is not reliable anymore in parts and this result in flooding.Additionally, the natural valleys are often blocked by buildings which cause flooding during the winter time in the rainy season.Municipal wastewater treatment plant is under construction and it’s financed by ASK? to prevent water pollution of K?z?l?rmak River. The wastewater treatment plant has capacity of 25.000 m?/day and planned for 155.000 population equivalent in 2023. The construction is started in 2008 November, targeted to operate in 2010 March. Presently, 95% of the construction is finished. The treatment process is Extended Aeration Active Sludge Process with Nitrogen and Phosphorus.Current Solid Waste Management System Solid waste is collected from houses via plastic bags by K?r?ehir Municipality trucks (compactor trucks) and sent to dumpsite. The dumpsite is located in Kervansaray region, Boztepe Road area. It is 9 km far to city centre. Project activities on Sanitary Landfill are completed by the Municipality. The new sanitary landfill is located in Kusdili Region Ekiza??l road. It is 7 km far to city centre. It’s construction Works are finalised, temporary acceptance is made. it will be commissioned. Stormwater SystemDue to the topography of K?r?ehir, considerable stormwater quantities are discharging into the city through natural slopes?that drain to the K?l???zü Creek and its tributaries. These natural catchment areas are located south and east of the city with a total area of approx. 10.000 ha. The storm water system is not available all over the city. It consist mostly pipes laid without proper design studies. The storm water drainage is the main problem in the central part of the city especially at both sides of K?l???zü Creek. Currently, K?r?ehir Municipality is executing the design and construction of stormwater system with another Project.TECHNICAL COMPONENTS OF THE PROJECTGeneralK?r?ehir’s potable water system needs to be improved The potable water system is not properly available in new parts of the city. The existing system’s capacity is not reliable because of the increasing population.Some components of the existing system are old and completed the efficient lifetime and needs renewal.In the content of the potable water project, measures for transmission lines (gravity, pressurised), reservoirs, pump stations, network is proposed. A SCADA system is proposed for robust monitoring and controlling of the whole potable water system. These are summarised as follows.Potable Water SystemFuture potable water requirements of K?r?ehir city centre is calculated as:Table: 3.9- Water Demand Projections20252040Water demand407 l/s716l/sTransmission LineThe existing main transmission line has to be replaced, since it is in very poor condition. The alignment foreseen in previously prepared Iller Bank Project is followed since land expropriation has been solved largely. This alignment follows K?l???zü Creek route in flow direction up to city centre. The transmission line is hydraulically divided by two sections which is;?zba? well water storage reservoir and Selafur well water connection pointSelafur well water connection point and Merkez 1 ReservoirTotal 11.700 m with diameters of DN450 and DN650 mm pipes shall be laid. The wash out valves, air valves and line valves shall also be installed in required locations. There will be total 10 washout valves, 9 air valve chamber, 9 line valves.Proposed Main Transmission Line Alignment for K?r?ehir Water Supply System is shown in the Drawing given as Appendix work Iller Bank has prepared a project in 2002 and approved asbestos cement pipe material with diameter ranging from DN200 to DN600 and PVC pipe material with diameter ranging from DN100 to DN150. Since asbestos cement pipes are not used today for the reason that they cause health problems on people and material are brittle and breakable material. On the other hand, asbestos cement pipe are not produced anymore. Accordingly, in the content of our Project, pipe material is chosen as PE (DN100-DN500) and GRP (DN600)In ?ller Bank project total pipe length is 51.213 m for network. This amount corresponds to 11% of total existing network according to the pipe lengths received from the municipality. However, the areas marked as problematic and the areas which don’t have water network on the town plans cover 29% of all town development plans (Problematic areas cover % 25 of the whole and the areas which don’t have water distribution network cover %4 of the whole). This amount covers the network pipes which have been proposed in ?ller Bank Project (11%) and the network pipes which are the extension areas to complete to 29% of whole area (18%). The determined pipe lengths according to the pipe diameters are listed in the following table:Table: 3.10- Network pipe lengths in K?r?ehir which will be rehabilitatedPipe Diameter (mm)?B Pipe Length (m)Extension Pipe Length (m)Total Pipe Length (m)10036.70360.05796.7601258331.3632.1961507.18811.76218.9502002.9464.8207.7662501.8873.0884.9753008371.3702.207350150245395400219358577500150245395Total51.21383.308134.521The areas which have not water distribution network and which have problems are shown in drawings in Appendix 1 and Appendix 2. New Reservoirs Total storage demand is calculated as 20.625 m3 for Year 2040. So, 925 m? additional reservoir is required. Merkez 2, K?ndam, Ba?ba?? 1 and Ba?ba?? 2, Mehtap 2 and Mehtap 3 reservoirs shall be abandoned because of very poor conditions and pressure zone divisions in network. The abandoned and proposed reservoir volumes are given in the following table.Table: 3.11- Reservoir RequirementsAbandoned ReservoirAbandoned Reservoir volume (m?)Proposed ReservoirProposed Reservoir volume (m?)Mehtap 2600Mehtap 21.000Mehtap 3400Mehtap 31.000Ba?ba?? 11.500Ba?ba?? 12.000Ba?ba?? 21.500Ba?ba?? 21.000K?ndam700K?ndam 13.000Merkez 22.500K?ndam 22.000Total Volume (m?)7.20010.000The reservoirs in Mehtap which will feed the middle and high zones of the network in this area are immediate solutions because of insufficiency and bad conditions. Also the reservoirs in Ba?ba?? which will feed low pressure zone and high pressure zone of the network is an urgent solution due to the same reasons. On the other hand, The construction of new reservoirs in K?ndam are indispensable. Because this region is a new development area of K?r?ehir and the volume of existing reservoir is not sufficient for the all inhabitants. Also there is no water distribution network partly, although this region is a residential area. As a result the the construction of new reservoirs which will feed low and high pressure zone of the network should be considered immediately. Proposed Water Supply System in K?r?ehir is shown in the drawing given as Appendix 4.New Pumping Station and Transmission Lines between Pump Stations and ReservoirsAs also mentioned in ?ller Bank Project, the construction of a new pumping station in K?ndam is proposed. Its flow capacity shall be 43 l/s and pumping head shall be 60 m. The proposed PE pressurised transmission lines are as the following:Table: 3.12- Transmission LinesLinePipe diameter (mm)Length (m)The pressure line from the new pumping station to K?ndam 2 reservoir 3151.523The pressure line from Mehta? 1 PS to Mehtap 3 reservoir3151.109The pressure line from Ba?ba??
