The studio on Water and Sanitation planning focuses on several sub-sectors and institutions engaged in planning, designing, delivery and management of WASH Services. This studio intends to develop a detailed understanding of how city-level water, sanitation, solid waste and blue and green existing situation diagnostics are conducted. The overall studio is structured in following stages: Perception Studies, Baseline Data Collection, Baseline Profiling and Diagnostics, Development of City Water and Sanitation Plan and Pilot Demonstration Proposal. This year, due to CoVID-19, Ahmedabad was chosen as the case study city where two areas - the walled city of Ahmedabad and a part of the western periphery were taken up for detailed assessment. After the perception study, over 500 survey data points were established to obtain responses from various stakeholders and detailed discussions were taken up with the ULB and utility agencies operating in these areas. Based on the site analysis, key WASH issues were identified with the help of a Problem Tree Diagram. Based on this, a City Infrastructure Plan for WASH elements were developed for the study area to address the identified issues. Further, each of the studio participants identified a pilot demonstration proposal for the case study sites.
