KIIFB – Tranche 13 – WRD 025-29 – Kuttanad Drinking Water Project Phase - II in Alappuzha

district - Revised design of pumping main

SUMP AT PALLIKUTTUMMA
Water demand of Zone Kainakari Zone - I &II, Nedumudi
Zone - I&II, Chambakkulam Zone - I&II, Pulinkunnu and
Kavalm = 15.070 mld

1 hour demand = 6.28 Lakh Lit.

Capacity of Sump = 6.50 Lakh Lit.

Hence provide a 6.5 LL capacity Sump at Pallikuttumma

DESIGN OF COMMON CLEAR WATER PUMPING MAIN FROM MAMBUZHAKKARI TO SUMP

AT PALLIKKUTTUMMA AND ohsr AT RAMANKARI
Length of common Pumping Main 3200 m
Demand 17.330 mld
Hours of pumping 20 hrs
Rate of pumping in lps 240.69 say 250 lps
Diameter required assuming velocity of 1m/s 564.33 say 600 mm
As the size of duct is only 600 mm the size of pumping main may be reduced. Hence two lines are
proposed
Half of total demand 8.665 mld
Hours of pumping 20 hrs
Rate of pumping in lps 120.35 say 125 lps
Diameter required assuming velocity of 1m/s 399.04 say 400 mm
Demand for Ramankary 2.26 mld
Balance demend 6.405 mld
Hours of pumping 20 hrs
Rate of pumping in lps 88.96 say 100 lps
Diameter required assuming velocity of 1m/s 356.92 say 350 mm

So provide a 400 mm DI K9 pipe from Mambuzhakkri to Pallikuttumma sump - 3200 m and a 400
mm DI K9 from Mabuchakkari to Ramankari - 1400 m and 350 mm DI K9 pipe thereafter up to
Pallikuttumma -1800 m

CLEAR WATER PUMPING MAIN FROM PALLIKUTTUMMA SUMP TO PALLIKUTTUMMA

JN. (TO PULINKUNNU AND KAVALAM)
Length of common Pumping Main 500 m
Demand 5.880 mld
Hours of pumping 20 hrs
Rate of pumping in lps 81.67 say 85 lps
Diameter required assuming velocity of 1m/s 329.06 say 350 mm

So provide a 350 mm DI K9 pipe from Pallikuttumma sump to Pallikuttumma Jn. -500 m

CLEAR WATER PUMPING MAIN FROM PALLIKUTTUMMA SUMP TO MANKOMBU JN IN
AC ROAD (CHAMBAKKULAM ZONE - II AND NEDUMUDI ZONE - II)
Length of common Pumping Main 3075 m
Demand 2.640 mld
Hours of pumping 20 hrs
Rate of pumping in lps 36.67 say 40 lps
Diameter required assuming velocity of 1m/s 225.73 say 250 mm

So provide a 250 mm DI K9 pipe from Pallikuttumma sump to Mankombu Jn. - 3075 m

CLEAR WATER PUMPING MAIN FROM PALLIKUTTUMMA SUMP TO POOPALLY JN IN

AC ROAD (KAINAKARI ZONE - I&II AND NEDUMUDI ZONE - I)
Length of common Pumping Main 5675 m
Demand 4.800 mld
Hours of pumping 20 hrs
Rate of pumping in lps 66.67 say 70 lps
Diameter required assuming velocity of 1m/s 298.62 say 300 mm

So provide a 350 mm DI K9 pipe from Pallikuttumma sump to Pallikuttumma Jn. - 5675 m
