Project: Pumped Water Supply System
Assignment: Design and Construction of Pumped Water Supply System
Location: Kavrepalanchowk District, Nepal
Client: Fulbari Resort
Duration: October 2019 to January 2020


Project Description: Design and construction of Pumped Water Supply System is for Apa Fulbari resort which is located in Mathurapati Fulbari Municipality in Kavrepalanchowk district at an elevation of approx. 1720 masl. Being situated on the top of hill, the resort faces acute shortage of drinking water and as a solution to which this project has commenced. From the initial site visit, the design flow rate for the water supply system is considered to be 0.4l/s. With this flow rate the maximum water volume which be utilized in dry season is 34,560 l/ day. The total length of pipe is measured about 1500 m. The collection tank at the source to store the water is designed to store 8000 liters of water. The difference in elevation between source and supply area is about 240 m. Hence, a submersible pump with lifting capacity of 300 m and discharge capacity of 3600 liter per hour (1.0 l/s) is selected to pump the water from source to supply area.
Scope of Services:
1. Topographical survey along the water pipe line and at intake area;
2. Design of intake, water tank, retaining wall, pipes, valves and other fittings;
