Physical Infrastructure

 

Water Supply 
CIDCO has developed 4 lakh meters of water pipeline in Navi Mumbai. Of the total physical infrastructure budget for the city it allocates 12% on water supply infrastructure. Water supply has been planned by dividing each node into sub-sectors.

Total capacity of water supply for the city is 325 MLD and it is more than enough. Capacity of the sources are as follows: 

  1. Morbe Dam has the capacity to provide 450 MLD water

  2. The Hetawane has a capacity to provide 350 MLD water

  3. The Balganga Dam has the capacity of 350 MLD

  4. Other sources: MIDC (75 MLD utilised by NMMC) and MJP (65 MLD utilised by CIDCO for Panvel and Kalamboli)

Storm-water System
A unique storm water management system has been evolved with the help of Holding Ponds and Detentions Ponds. The planners and engineers created these artificial water bodies in almost every node to hold storm water. This led to the creation of a peculiar urban phenomenon specific to Konkan region. CIDCO has created 40 water bodies known as detention ponds (38) and holding ponds (02).The ponds, encircled with trees, also serve as a major part of storm water management and prevent water logging in low-lying areas during monsoon. The ponds encompass a total area of about 619.57 Ha.This showed positive results after over three decades – in the 2005 cloudburst, even when and 720-km coastline of Konkan, including Mumbai witnessed the worst-ever floods, only Navi Mumbai was least affected.
