PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Infrastructure and public facilities are the basic physical assets required for urban dwellers. Due to rapid population growth, there is constant need for upgradation and proposals of new infrastructure facilities which includes water supply, sewerage and solid waste management.

Water Supply

For efficient supply of water, the RMC area is divided into east ,west and central regions. The water treatment plants and sources of water supply are accordingly placed. Considering the population of RMC in 2018, the water supply an demand are calculated for each zone. The water demand calculation takes into account water requirements for

According to the present estimated of water demand for RUDA, the water required for an addition of 17 lakh population for 2036 is approximately 404 MLD.

PROPOSED

SEWERAGE

Presently nearly 70% of the area within RMC is covered under sewerage network.

Proposal 1: Upgradation of existing sewage treatment plants(STPs)

Presently, there are four sewage treatment plants catering to the RMC area. For the projected population of RUDA, upgradation of the STP is to implemented through this development plan.

Proposals

Proposal 1: Upgradation and provision of new water treatment plants (WTPs) one new water treatment plant would be set up at nyari-I to meet the demand of the projected population.

In order to cater to the future requirement of 404 MLD for RUDA, upgradation and provision of WTPs shall be carried out. Currently, there are five water treatment plants – Aji, Nyari II, Ghanteshwar, Raiyadhar and Ribda .

Upgradation of these treatment plants is proposed to facilitate the present as well as the future population of RUDA area with adequate water supply.

AJI: The existing water treatment capacity of WTP at Aji is 103 MLD. Considering the additional demand, the capacity of this treatment plant is proposed to be increased by 100 MLD.

Ghanteshwar: Similarly there will be an upgradation proposed for the water treatment plant at Ghanteshwar.

Proposal 2: Upgradation and development of new water supply network

Solid Waste Management

There are five decentralised plants operating to deal with the vegetable market waste from all over the city. These composting plants cater only to the vegetable market waste and not the household waste. Currently, the municipal solid waste generated in RMC directly does to the landfill site without any treatment.

Landfill site – existing scenario

The current land fill site at Nakarvadi has two cells, which is expected to be filled by the year 2020. Due to its close proximity to the airport and environmental concerns, the site is required for a shutdown.

Location Of Existing Landfill Site

Solid Waste Management

Proposal 1: New landfill site

Considering the generation of waste for 2036, new land fill site is proposed looking into the following considerations :

01 Availability of land (vacant and public)

02 Distance from the airport (more than 20km)

03 Min 200m away from the water body

04 Ground water table more than 2m.

Proposal 2: Decentralized composting plants

Decentralized plants to be provided instead of a centralized plant for better efficiency. RUDA is proposed to be divided into east west and central regions, for the purpose of the same.

There is an increasing demand of affordable housing to cater to the growing needs of lower and middle income groups and public housing for BPL..Providing sufficient housing stock for the future population growth and ensuring the sufficient supply of affordable

It is crucial to estimate the number of units to be constructed and amount of land required.So according to current scenario 36% population is below affordable line out of which 24% is living in slums. Based on the population projection more than 2 lakhs dwelling units will be required for public housing to accommodate the additional population by 2036

The land for the public housing can be provided by T.P scheme, RMC land bank, Vacant land and fallow land.The current scheme which provide the public Housing in Rajkot is PMAY.

LAND FOR PUBLIC HOUSING THROUGH T.P SCHEME

The total land area under T.P Scheme is 47.66 sq.km out of which 0.7 has been already used for Public Housing. Built-up area required for additional population is 6200000m².By mandating 5% of land from T.P scheme for Public Housing ,we can achieve 4200000sq.m built up and 2.3 sq.km of land. Remaining land can be provided by vacant land.

Encouraging affordable housing through modification in development regulations:

01 For public housing Higher-density Development will be encouraged for the More intensive Land Utilization which will reduce the land cost and make the unit affordable.

02 no ground coverage criteria after leaving required margins and common plot.

03 Parking regulations can be relaxed as there is hardly any people who can afford cars.

04 Additional chargeable FSI shall be available at reduced rates.

10% of Jantri rates : For housing unit size upto 50 sq.m

20% of Jantri rates : For housing units above 50 sq.m - 66 sq.m

05 The elevator requirement is modified and buildings are designed to be five-story walkup apartments. which will increase the number of units on plot.

06 Plot under affordable housing will be eligible for FSI upto 3.

07 The developer can be given exemption from municipal charges.

08 Making land conversion process easy.
