average there is 6-8 hours of water supply across the city, say PMC officials. Although citizens claim there is an interplay of power-politics in supply, municipal officials say that the city's topography is solely to blame. Low lying areas receive 600 LPCD versus less than 100 LPCD in topographically disadvantaged |
colonies. The piped network is 2,450 km in length and 100 % of water is officially supplied sourced from surface sources, the Khadakwasla lake. There are 4,500 private tubewells servicing parts, yet to be connected to the piped network. |Naresh Zurmure, additional commissioner (PMC) speaking on the occasion| Pune is |
attempting water for all, but can it deal with waste of all? We are not protecting the natural recharge areas, said Himanshu Kulkarni, head of ACWADAM, a non-profit organsation based in Pune. We need to look beyond biodiversity, and understand the 'litho-diversity' of India, where 85 per cent of the |
world’s rock types are found. There are 1.5 billion urban dwellers dependent on groundwater, says Kulkarni, and looking to sustain yields is a major challenge often overlooked in city water supply management. In Pune, groundwater levels have reduced marginally, but the quality has altered over the years due to poor |
sanitation practices. The sewage generated by the city's 3.7 million inhabitants is 756 MLD, 33 percent of which is untreated and mixes with treated sewage before entering in the river, also percolating into aquifers. The flagship scheme of the Pune Municipal Corporation is river front development and canalisation. The... |
is seeking to strengthen and line the Mula-Mutha river banks, remove encroachments, create retaining walls, resettle slums, dredge the river and develop the river as a water highway to de-congest the city centre. This project has been in the pipeline for several years, has escalated in cost, and is being |
contested in the High Court. CSE questioned these plans stating that Pune is a moderate rainfall area, although it is prone to spells of heavy rain June thru September. Hence modifying flows could possibly lead to backflows and flooding in the city, interfere with ecological flows and increase flow velocity, |
leading to scouring of the banks downstream. This seems ambitious for a corporation that until 2010 – 11, had an outstanding of Rs 306.47 crore from consumers, that it is finding difficult to collect. Also water tariffs have remained static at Rs 3 per kilo-litre since 2000 for domestic users, |
and Rs 16 per kilo-litre for commercial and industrial connections. There is a 48.37% shortfall in collection of water charges in 2009-10 (budget estimates and actual revenue), while 60% of total expenditure is on energy. Diversion to urban conurbations and utilising more than allocated amounts is leading to conflicts ... |
the state. “Since 2003, 1500 million cubic metre of water has been diverted from agricultural allocations to urban or industrial use in Maharashtra. This has implications for 357,600 hectares in the state or 3 lakh families at an average of 1 hectare land holding. This diversion is now a fait |
accompli,” says K J Joy, convenor of the Forum for Policy Dialogue on Water Conflicts in India. Maharashtra had published the state water policy in 2003, which controversially gave industry a higher allocation priority versus agriculture. While this has now been reversed due to widespread protests in the state, this |
has implications as articulated in the CSE study on water quality, since it is not only important to gauge how much you use, but what also monitor the quality of used water as return flows. For more details: N itya Jacob, Bharat Lal Seth |

what is Roller chains Roller chain is a steel linked chain that utilizes roller bushings at each connecting link. The bushings aid the chain in riding smoothly around a sprocket |
and give the chain long life as well as strength. Roller chain is commonly found on bicycles and farming machinery and is also a primary component in automobile transmissions and |
transfer cases. Some high-performance types of roller chain use small rubber O-rings at each end of the bushings to aid in the retention of oil, which helps keep the chain |
in peak condition. There are many types of roller chain, each intended for a specific purpose. In the U.S., roller chain is sized by the American National Standards Institute or |
ANSI with the most common sizes being 40, 50 and 60. The size of the chain is reflective of the pitch of the chain in eighths of an inch (0.3175 |
centimeters), this is denoted by the first digit, and the final digit noting the strength of the chain. While 0 represents standard chain and 1 represents lightweight chain, 5 is |
used to show bushed chain with no rollers. This means that a standard bicycle chain with a half-inch (1.27 centimeters) pitch would be a size 40 chain. The typical roller |
chain is comprised of links that are fused together by pins. The pins are driven through the ends of each link and held in place by friction. Each chain is |
connected at the ends to form a complete circle or chain loop by a master link. The master link is a link of chain that uses a clip to hold |
the sides in place rather than being a friction fit. Roller chain can be shortened by removing links with a chain breaking tool and lengthened by adding whole or a |
half links. Lubrication and proper tension is critical to assure long life for any roller chain. A chain should never be run tight. There should always be a slight amount |
of slack in a properly adjusted chain. The school of thought is approximately 2 percent to 4 percent of the distance between the centers of the sprockets. Clean, light-weight oil |
should be used to keep the chain properly lubricated. The various uses for roller chain include not only bicycles, but conveyors, automobile timing chains and chain saws. By attaching tiny |
cutting teeth to a chain, a chain saw is able to cut its way through a tree in a rapid manner. In another application, small lengths of chain are attached |
