Water Balance Chart

Project Details Developer: The Indian Hotels Company Limited,


Wastewater Generation & Treatment:

There will be no waste water generation from the construction activities. The only source of wastewater

during construction phase is from labors use. Generated sewage (around 22m3/day) shall be disposed

via septic tank.

The domestic solid waste shall be segregated to biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste and

handed over to handle over to vendors for disposal. The entire construction waste will be disposed off

to authorized vendors & Excavation soil will be use for backfilling, leveling.

Rain Water Harvesting Details:

Rain water harvesting is proposed to conserve rain water and thereby reduce surface run off from

project site. Further, the run-off from landscaping, paved and other unpaved areas is diverted through

storm water drains on both the sides of road. Roads will be cambered with storm water channels on

both sides to ensure that they are fairly dry and safe in monsoon. Part of the storm water can be

passed through the proposed lake to fill it in monsoon and overflown on the other side. Refer

Annexure-VI & VII for detailed drawing.

Solid Waste Generation & Disposal Method:

The solid waste generated during operation phase shall be segregated to biodegradable and non-

biodegradable waste as mentioned above.

The wet garbage will be treated in OWC & will be used as manure for landscaping. The recyclable dry

garbage disposed off to the vendors for recycling.
