Title of the Cooperation Project The Project for Improvement of Water Supply in Abbottabad in the Islamic Republic Pakistan Categorization and its reason 2.1 Category: B 2.2 Reason This project aims to supply safe and stable water by means of taking surface water from valleys located in the east of Abbottabad city for residents of Abbottabad TMA, Nawanshehr Service Union and its adjoining four Union Councils and will be conducted through Japans Grant Aid scheme. With expanding and newly- installing water supply systems including establishment of new wells, unexpected influences on natural and social environment such as issues of land acquisition, a conflict of water right and so on will arise. Therefore, this project is classified in Category B. 3. Outline of the Location District Abbottabad is center of Hazara Division, which is located in a valley and situated between 33 50 and 34 23 North, and 73 35and 73 31 East at an altitude of 4120 feet (1250 m) above sea level. It is located in the place about 2.5 hours (100km of distance) by a car from Islamabad which is the capital of the Pakistan and about 3 hours (205km of distance) by a car from Peshawar which is the capital of NWFP. The monthly average lowest temperature is 1.8 C in January and 20.1 C in July. The monthly average maximum temperature is 12.6 C in January and 32.4 C in June. Precipitation in Abbottabad varies annually. Average monthly precipitation during 1961 to 2002, the maximum monthly precipitation is recorded in August (259mm), and the minimum monthly precipitation is recorded in November (30mm). Population of the target area was 151,875 at Census in 1998. population will be estimated 205,120 and 234,970 respectively. Jadoon is the main tribe inhabiting the project area. Other tribes include Syed, Awan, Sardar, Tanawali, Gugar and Abbassi. All the population is Muslim and belongs to Sunni Sect. Main language is Hindko spoken by majority of the population. Karakoram Highway passes through Abbottabad area to China from south to north, and Murree Road is provided eastwards, and is an important place in North-West Frontier Province. The rate of households of a gas supply through a gas pipeline network is very high as domestic fuel in Abbottabad area. Although electricity has spread through almost all homes, load-shedding is conducted about 4 to 5 hours a day. Although a sewage system was planned in 1985, it has not been in implementation due to the
1

At 2010 and 2015, the

shortage of funds etc, and has not been served. Therefore, much of domestic sewage of Abbottabad city is untreated, and is discharged into branches of the Dole River and so on.

Outline of the Relevant Agencies and the Institution, which implements the Project, EIA and so The implementing agency is District Government Abbottabad under the Government of the NWFP. Operation and Maintenance of Gravity Water Supply will be carried out by new a proposed organization, i.e. Gravity Water Supply Unit, while O&M of Ground Water Supply System of 10 villages will be conducted by Water Supply and Sanitation/PHE of the District Government. Environmental administration of the province is carried out by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, NWFP). EPA NWFP was established in 1989 under the administrative control of PP&H Department. Later on, in 1992, it was transferred to PE&D Department the attached Department. Recently it has been placed under a newly established Environment Department.

9. Whether another environmental and social considerations study is required at this stage or not? NOC, Non-Objection Certificate issued by Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), NWFP on May 2004 has been already expired according to Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency (Review of IEE and EIA) Regulations, 2000 and the estimated project cost is more than Rs.25millon. According the Regulation, 2000, it is necessary to conduct EIA. The previous IEE/EIA procedure was legally the same as the present procedure. However, only IEE was carried out and NOC was issued by EPA based on the result of the IEE. Therefore, District Government Abbottabad which is the implementation Agency is now asking whether the project needs EIA or otherwise. 10. Consultation (state who has been contacted about the project, means of contacting them, date when they were contacted and so on.) (1) The tribunal of inquiry at Peshawar High Court The court which carried out hearing and mediation in which any people and organizations which got interested in this project of both district of Abbottabad and Haripur on July 4 and 5, 2005 could participate was held. It was judged that the water allocation ratio between District of Abbottabad and Haripur which had been given 57:43 (1904 to 1905 determination) in allocation of irrigation water was effective. However, there was a view that this allocation was not suitable with the present condition. Therefore it was proposed that a certain taking measures would be required to carry out about the irrigation water in District Haripur. (2) A meeting on the water rights of downstream area, Haripur A meeting was held under attendance of District Nazim Abbottabad, DCO (District Coordinate Officer) Abbottabad, Haripur and Representatives of farmers of District Haripur at June 22, 2004 or August 12, 2004. It was clarified in this meeting that the proposal of this project did not contain construction of any sort of dam on Daur (Dor) River and issues of water rights would not arise. (3) Approval of Governor District Nazim Haripur Approval of implementation of this project was obtained with the following condition from District Nazim Haripur on July 25, 2006. 1) Rehabilitation of Daur (Dor) Main Canal District Haripur 2) Construction of 15 tube wells for irrigation Regarding 1), a study and detail design Rehabilitation of Daur Main Canal in District Haripur (Sub-work Geological investigation including Sub Soil Low and Detail Design of the Pick up Weir was already conducted in 2007. Regarding 2), five (5) tube wells of 15 were constructed in 2007 and the power distribution will be carried out till the end of 2008. Discharge of one tube well is 1.5cusec (42.6 lit/s).
