| Project Name | Integrated Sewerage System for City of Imphal Phase II | |
| Country | The Republic of India | |
| Sector | Water Resource Management, Supply and Sanitation | |
| Concept Approval Date | 14 December 2021 | |
| Total Project Cost | USD 153 million | |

| Project Context | Imphal, the capital of Manipur, is the most populous urban area in the state. The growth in urban population has led to substantial stress on urban infrastructure in Imphal, including sanitation facilities which are inadequate and require development.
The existing sanitation system covers 11 out of the 27 municipal wards of Imphal. The wastewater generated in the city and its peri-urban areas primarily gets discharged untreated into rivers, resulting in unacceptable water quality of the receiving river segments. Thus, there is an urgent need to provide the remaining 16 municipal wards with integrated sanitation services through the Project. |
|
| Project Objective | The Project will contribute to enhanced quality of life of residents of Imphal through access to sustainable sanitation services and reduce pollution of Imphal river.
The Project will contribute towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 (ensuring availability of clean water and sanitation for all), in particular target 6.2 (to achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all). The Project may also contribute to SDG 11 (Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable) through its cascading effects. |
|
| Project Description | The Project will provide sanitation services in Imphal through construction of 3 sewerage treatment plants, 21 sewerage pumping stations and a 277 km network of sewerage pipelines.
Construction of the sanitation system will result in improved health and living conditions of residents through reduced risk of waterborne and water related deceases, and reduced pollution of Imphal river. The Project will also enhance institutional capacity in Imphal for operation and maintenance of sanitation system. |
