WATER & SEWER RESOURCES
Noida Water department is dedicated to ensuring our residents have enough water to meet their needs now and in the future. The city utilizes two sources of water to meet our customers needs:
1. Ganga Jal: Ganga Jal, A symbol of purity is being brought at NOIDA by intercepting from Ganga canal at Masoori dasna, situated in Ghaziabad, 22 KM away from this place. Before reaching to NOIDA, Ganga Jal is being treated at Pratap Vihar, Ghaziabad which is 3.2 KM from this place. Complete treatment process which are required for any surface water are being done at this treatment plant.
2. Ground Water: Ground water is a natural occurrence. Ground water of Noida City is hard in few pockets. Two common minerals in the Noida soil - magnesium and calcium - dissolve in the water to create "hard water" in Noida, hardness ranges from 108 mg/l to 838 mg/l depending on the water sources. Hard water poses no health risk but can be troublesome to consumer. It causes soap deposits, in sinks and spots on dishes and faucets. Calcium deposit can also affect pipes, water heaters and dish washers.

Noida's Efforts for Removal of Hardness:
After many studies of experts of this field, this has been recommended that dilution of better quality of water can improve the hardness level of ground water. Then Noida decided to blend Ground water with Ganga water and then supply to residents. NOIDA has engaged M/s WAPCOS to give their recommendation for the ratio of Ganga water required to be mixed with ground water. M/s WAPCOS (Water & Power Consultancy Services (India) Ltd.) is a Govt. of India undertaking consultancy organization. M/s WAPCOS has submitted their report and as per report there is a short fall of 36 MLD of Ganga water for present demand. Presently Noida is having only 20 Cusec (48 MLD) of Ganga water, whereas we require 84 MLD but 48 MLD quantity of Ganga water is found sufficient by WAPCOS for present developed residential sectors, so it is proposed, to distribute in residential area only. Now after great effort at Government level, Noida got success in allotment of 80 Cusec (192 MLD) additional Ganga water. It will take another 2 year to get this water at Noida. Efforts for execution of this project has been started. Noida has given consent to pay Rs. 65 Crore to Irrigation Department for lining work to restrict seepage loss, so that farmers do not get affected due to this diversion of canal water.

Installed Capacity of Water:
There are 207 tubewells and 6 Renney wells installed for extraction of ground water, which enable Noida for 222 MLD of water considering 85% working efficiency. Beside this ground water, Noida also has 48 MLD of Ganga water. This enable Noida, capable for 270 MLD of water supply under worst condition.
Water Supply Per Capita:
As per CPHEEO (Central Public Health Engineering Environment Organization) norms, 172.50 LPCD is being considered with the provision of 15% on account of wastage. 45 K.L. per Hectare per day is the norm for planning of non-residential area. Water Demand Per Day: (As per WAPCOS Assessment with the presumption of 6.85 Lac population)
Water Demand Per Day: (As per WAPCOS Assessment with the presumption of 6.85 Lac population)

1.	Total Domestic Demand Approx. Domestic water demand -	118 MLD
2.	Total Non-Domestic Demand Approx. Non-Domestic water demand - (Presumptin of 1400 hect. Developed area)	63 MLD
3.	Total Approximate Demand -	181 MLD (for 6.85 people & 1400 Hect. developed non residential area)

DISINFECTION METHOD BEFORE SUPPLY
Supply water is being chlorinated before supply for disinfection.
DRAFT MASTER PLAN - 2021 (WATER SUPPLY)
Noida is probably first city in Uttar Pradesh whose master Plan-2021 for water supply is under preparation. As per Draft Master Plan 2021 total demand by the end of 2021 is projected to 553 MLD, where in 302 MLD Ganga water and 251 MLD ground water would be needed by 2021. Noida has started working accordingly. Total 56 networks are proposed for whole of the Noida.
Ground Water Storage for great grand sons & daughters as a Gift
Noida has come with the idea to make Noida as a first Zero-Discharge city and rising water table city. Noida is planning not to discharge any waste water to river. This will give great environment to this city and also will rise the ground water table by recharging rain water and reclaimed treated water. Recharging of Ground water will improve quality by dilution and quantity by addition.

SEWERAGE SYSTEM:
All sectors of Noida are well connected with sectorial sewer lines. Sewer comes through gravity from residents house to sewage pumping station, which are provided network wise. Each network has a few sectors. Provision of SPS is made, depending on the depth of gravity lines. Manual of sewerage system is being followed in this regard. These initial Sewege Pumping Station are known as Intermediate Sewage Pumping Station. From these sewage pumping station we pump sewage and again put it to some gravity line or directly through pressure line to Master Sewage Pumping Station. Master Sewage Pumping Station are connected to Sewage Treatment Plants, where we treat sewage in such a way that solid part is being used as a manure, treated water is being proposed for utilization of irrigation purpose and gaseous part is being utilized for generating electricity.
Infrastructure of Sewerage System
1. No. of Intermediate SPS - 15
2. No. of Master SPS - 04
3. No. of Sewage Treatment Plants - 03

Assessment of Generation of Sewage:
As per manual, we take 80% of water consumption as quantity of sewage for domestic area. For non-domestic area, it is taken on presumption of 200 person per hectare @ 45 lit/day, which comes to 9 KL/Hect/Day out of 45 KL/Hect/Day kept for non-residential area, out of 9 KL/Hect/Day domestic use of non-residential area if you take 80%, it comes to 7.2 KL/Hect/Day. Rest 36 KL/Hect/Day water is being used for industrial & other purposes.
So as per these norms present sewage generation comes to 72 MLD with the presumption of 6 lac population, who are connected with sewerage system.
Installed Capacity of Treatment

NOIDA has treatment facility for 70 MLD of sewage, which are as under
1	STP at Sector - 50	34 MLD
2	STP at Sector - 54	27 MLD
3	Oxidation Pond at Sec-54	9 MLD

Master Plan - 2021 (Sewerage System)
Noida is probably first city in Uttar Pradesh whose Master Plan - 2021 for sewerage system is under preparation. As per Draft Master Plan 2021 total sewerage generation would be 255 MLD by the end of 2021 as projected in Master plan Noida has started working on it.
Proposed Sewerage Treatment Plants:
Normally all the sewerage treatment plants are being constructed by the funding of Central Govt. under "Yamuna Action Plan" Scheme. Both STP's of Noida were constructed under Yamuna Action Plan Ph-I, Noida requested to Govt. of India through U.P.Govt. for enhancing their sewerage treatment capacity through Yamuna Action Plant Ph-II but Noida could not get place in the list. Noida is included in Yamuna Action Plan Ph-II just for the purpose of study on preparation of Master Plan for Sewerage and DPR. Noida is quite in advance in this field as we have already got prepared our Draft Master Plant 2021 (Sewerage system) and DPR is under preparation. After not being included for enhancement of STP capacity, Noida decided to go with their own resources. Now, Design, drawing etc. are being prepared by our expert consultant M/s MWH who are pioneer in installing UASB based STP's in India. Site provision of New sewerage treatment plants have already been done in Noida's Master Plan - 2021. Two new STP's are proposed, one in Sector-123 with 102 MLD capacity and other one behind Sector-168 with 125 MLD capacity. In first phase 50 MLD sewerage treatment capacity shall be installed at each of the new proposed STP's .The same is under process.
