NOIDA: YEIDA has chosen to hire a consultant to develop a comprehensive service master plan for its designated area, with special emphasis on water supply, sewerage, and stormwater drainage systems.
According to officials, the plan aims to evaluate existing infrastructure and create a roadmap for enhancements and expansions, considering anticipated growth in the region.
While the master plan provides a long-term framework for urban development, the service master plan focuses on sector-specific technical details, converting the master plan’s vision into tangible infrastructure systems.
As part of this initiative, the consultant will conduct a thorough analysis of current water supply, sewerage, and stormwater drainage networks to identify their capabilities, performance, and deficiencies. An integrated planning framework will then be created to address both current and future needs in the YEIDA area.
“Our goal is to create a future-ready and cohesive service master plan that aligns with the master plan for 2041. This will facilitate the smooth integration of existing service plans with updated development priorities, population forecasts, and land-use strategies,” stated a YEIDA official.
The consultant will review existing land use, population demographics, industrial activities, soil types, climate conditions, and sensitive environmental areas. They will meticulously map natural drainage systems, watershed boundaries, catchment zones, and existing stormwater channels.
To gain a clear understanding of existing conditions, extensive surveys, data gathering, and mapping will be conducted. This includes field verification of current infrastructure, as well as detailed mapping of drains, manholes, pumping stations, sewer lines, water pipelines, and stormwater systems.
