Dorot case study

in India -

Mysore project

General description:Where,What,Total investment,How long.

The project is in Mysore, in the state of Karnataka in Southern India.

Mysore city with population of nearly 1 million people is located

between two rivers– Kaveri and Kabini.The project is funded under

JNNURM (Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission) scheme.

The city of Mysore is one of the first cities to convert from intermittent

water supply scheme to 24x7 water supply scheme.The 24x7 project

in Mysore was divided into two phases:1st phase was completed by

Jusco Ltd.The 2nd phase was awarded to IL&FS Water Limited.The

project is on BOOT basis with 10 years of operation andmaintenance.

Dorot has been chosen as the reliable partner for the Pressure,Flow

and level control of the entire network. We are assisting the IL&FS

design team select the right control valves with sizing and selection

for ESR management, DMA and PMA management.

What was the demand/challenge?

Water is available in plenty inMysore but exponential increment in the

population has created huge differences with design conditions to

reality.In theory,the pumped water is sufficient to cater the demand

for the city and achieve 24x7 water supply. The challenge we are

facing is the hydraulics (pressure and flow) of the network which

isn’t sufficient to reach the critical point thus the unequal supply

to users. In addition, since the pressure and flow aren’t distributed

properly in the system,high-pressure pockets are created at low-lying

areas resulting in pipe breakages and burst.Thus higher NRW (Non

Revenue Water) and life of infrastructure is significantly reduced!

Dorot’s solution.

Dorot has been involved in this project since 2015, working hand

in hand with the engineers from KUWSSB from early design stages.

As the contract was finalized and Dorot is now the hydraulic valve

supplier, we are working closely with the contractor’s design team

(IL&FS) and the end-user (KUWSSB).Our solution for ESRmanagement

is installing hydraulic control flow & pressure control valves and

level control valves which are independent of electricity and man

power. In addition, we are analysing the distribution network to

recommend the right control valves to maintain the pressure in

the system in such a way that each customer receives water with

minimum residual head with DMA and PMA management. The

valves supplied by DOROT will be a tailor-made solution for this

project with 10 years of warranty. In addition, Dorot is supporting

its partners with the Air Management solutions.
