City Level Analysis

City Level Analysis

City has five water treatment plants (WTP) of which four WTP at upstream of Prakasham Barrage with capacity 170 MLD and another WTP

Water coverage is an important criterion to understand the water supply scenario of an area. Water coverage here is calculated by dividing the water pipeline length of that area by the total road length of that area. It was found that ward no. 52, 53, 48 and 31 had least percentage of water

coverage falling between the range of 22- 35 i.e. at maximum 35% of the area is covered with water supply connection. Falling on the range of 35-48% of water coverage are ward no. 58, 56, 55, 29, 30, 28, 27, 26, 25, 30, 38, 41, 42 and 16. It was also observed that circle 3 had maximum coverage of water supply ranging from 88- 100%, while the wards falling near the river had low water coverage in Circle 3.
