Karachi Rain Emergency Plan 2013

Background:

• Karachi is situated in the south of Sindh on the coast of Arabian sea. By virtue of geographic location it tends to have a relatively mild climate with low levels of average precipitation (approximately 250 mm per annum)

• Heavy rainfall received in a relatively short span of time, caused flash floods.

• Synchronization of the peak floods with high tide in the sea.

Karachi City and surrounding cris-crossed by many nallah which generally flow from the North East to South West. These nallahs act as natural drains and carry storm water from Kithar Range down till sea. The major rivers in the area are Malir River in the East and Lyari River in the West. Which further have their own small tributaries (nallahs) falling in to them. During the floods of 2013, a new central nallah (Wateen Wari Nullah). Which originates from Kirthar Range, was identified which cause flooding in Karachi. Based on the experience of floods of 2013, it can be generally concluded that the drainage of Karachi is dependent on three Rivers/ nallahs. Which may cause flooding, due to overflow. These are Malir River in the East, Wateen Wari Nallah in the Middle and Lyari River in the West.

IMPACT OF THE RAIN

• The traffic system cease to work• Failure of electric power and other utility services• Choked sewerage system causing difficulties to public,

and Katchi Abadies get submerged, resulting in epidemic diseases like Gastroenteritis, Cholera, Malaria, Skin Diseases and Conjunctivitis.

• Advertisement Boards/fall of trees – causing havoc and loss of precious lives

• Contamination of drinking water• Damage to Road infrastructure

OBJECTIVES

• In view of the previous experiences, it became imperative to introduce updated Rain Emergency Plan with a systematic approach for the safety of property and lives of Karachities and a provision of better relief system to them

• To counter flood like situation in Lyari River, Malir River and Major Nallahs like their link Nallahs during heavy rain fall

• For awareness information of concerned agencies/DMCs where unauthorized settlement and inhabitants are this plan would help and assets for them rescue and relief living in dangerous environment of River Beds

• A coordinated/comprehensive/update Rain Emergency Plan is very much needed to prevent and manage the pre, during and post rain situation.

STORM WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEMAn overview of Storm Water Drainage System:

There are 13 major Nallahs running through out the city and most of them discharging their affluent into the 2 major rivers i.e. Lyari and Malir

Details of Nullahs:• Soldier Bazar Nallah• Farrier Nallah/Glass Tower Nallah• Chakora Nallah• Golden Town Nallah• Korangi Nallah• Picture Nallah• Gujjar Nallah• Orangi Nallah• Zehri House Nallah/Manzoor Colony Nallah• Monchko Nallah

Stream Discharging Rain Water Directly in Sea.

• Nehr-e-Khayyam• Frere Nallah• Pitcher Nallah• Kalri Nallah• Soldier Bazar Nallah• Manzoor Colony Nallah

EXISTING SITUATION

• Most of the drains are:

- Heavily encroached and peoples are living un-authorizedly on both sides of these Nallah

- Choked with silt and garbage• Their water carrying capacity is at the minimum level• Stagnation of rain water on road, lanes and streets due

to chockage and non cleaning of Nallahs, in case of rain fall.

KARACHI DRAINAGE NETWORK

Storm water drains of Karachi have been converted into sewers over the years and they lack the capacity to drain off rain water or any other runoff water. Salient are as following :-a. The drains, which are supported to remain dry through out the year,

have been turned into sewer conduits for the city.b. A rise in the number of slums and squatter settlements built on the

banks of the drains have made the issue further complicated.c. Almost all 13x large and over 250x small storm water drains have

been encroached and these encroachments have clogged the Storm water drains.d. Few pictures of various nallahs, drains and rivers and related

important information which may help in understanding the overall the state of drainage system in the city as given below:-

1. Sungal Nallah (White House Area North East Karachi.2. Encroachment of silt and Garbage.3. Picher Nallah (Landhi Sector) Mixing of Sewerage Line and Garbage 4. Azim Pura Divisionary Nallah.5. Vegetation and Wild Growth in Nallah.

OBSERVATION FROM PRE FLOOD RECONNAISSANCE 2014

a. Karachi drainage system not only requires immediate attention but also require physical measures for its cleanliness. Any efforts in the absence of master plan

will be futile exercise for overall drainage system of Karachi.b. Capacity enhancement of present drainage system is required as encroachments and lack of maintenance has reduced the designed capacity of existing drainage system. c. Most of the drains/nallahs require cleaning and removal of garbage.d. Diversionary Nallahs have been planned however progress of construction is at

snail pace due to various issues like non availability of funds, be immediately resolved to speed up the construction work.

e. Sewerage lines are being discharged in rain water drains resulting in accumulation of silt and garbage. f. Wild growth and vegetation needs to be removed for smooth flow of water in all

channels.g. Continuous increase in the encroachments along drains/ nallahs must be

checked.h. No flood risk mapping of Karachi exist which can help in better planning of the entire flood fighting efforts.

RECOMMENDATIONS

a. Master plan for complete drainage system of Karachi should be prepared and executed.

b. KMC/DMCs should be pro-active in preventing flood like situation due to heavy rains by undertaking following:-

(1) Ensure removal of encroachment of drains/ natural drains.

(2) Construction of storm water drains and maintenance of existing drainage system.

(3) Make a plan to absorb volunteers / NGO’s to create energy to fight flood emergency. A well-coordinated flood relief/ rescue plan is required incorporating all civil resources. Same should be rehearsed by KMC/DMCs to coordinate the response of various agencies.

(4) Sewerage lines linked t drainage channels should be separated to avoid silting and blockade of drains/ nallahs.

(5) KMC/DMCs should check encroachments astride the various nallahs and drains and should also undertake dredging operation of these nallahs to enhance their capacities.

Continued

c. Dewatering pumps/ equipments must be maintained before the onset of monsoon season.

d. Flood risk mapping of Karachi should be done by PDMA.

e. Flood risk zoning and surface water management of all zones should be undertaken.

• Following steps may also be ensured to prevent rain related problems in the city:• All physical resources (equipment, machinery etc) and personnel would be pooled and controlled from this

point. Communication facilities shall be kept in order and readily available for backup wherever required.• The Central Machinery Pool and Central (Workshop Division), Karsaz, Central Pumping Station, PIDC Clifton

and Jamila Pumping Station, Lyari shall work in full capacity with backup support of standby generator and fulltime availability of fuel during Rain emergency.

• All Sewer Cleaning / Jetting / Suction / Pumping Machines / Mobiles, Standby Generators and other equipment shall be in field on 24-hours basis instead of only day shifts during rain emergency.

• In case of any crises machinery including generators and cranes shall be arranged on rent as an exigency alternate.

• During Rain Emergency, the Complaint Centers shall be activated in the field offices of all District Chief Engineers and Town Superintending Engineers to facilitate general public.

• Efficient Officials shall be deputed on these Centers for lodging / recording complaints of consumers in person or on phone with proper reporting system on 24-hours basis.

• These officials shall work in shifts with clear instructions not to leave the duty until their reliever may report during emergency period.

• Constant liaison may be maintained with the control room setup in the offices of Commissioner Karachi, District Dy. Commissioners, KMC and ZMCs by all District Chief Engineers to mitigate the rain sufferings.

• All field staff will be on high alert with preparedness and round the clock area monitoring may be ensured to check and addressed public complaints related to sewage overflow and congestion problems.

• Awareness messages are being propagated through print & electronic media and advertisement in the news.

• Various NGOs and community circles have also been taken on board for public awareness through seminars and meetings.

Patrolling & Monitoring

• Round the clock patrolling of the bulk transmission system, canal, syphons, conduits and other installations in remote areas i.e. Dhabeji, Gharo, NEK pumping station & filter plants etc. would be undertaken.

• Round the clock monitoring of sewerage pumping stations would be carried out to monitor operational efficiency.

• Sour points where problems have been experienced as per previous records of rainy season in the past have been identified to pay extra attention and prevent re-occurrence of problem.

Power Failure

• Immediate reporting of power failures & faults to KESC in respect of KW&SB installations is arranged, so that water and sewerage pumping stations may function smoothly.

• Alternate arrangements of standby generators in case of power breakdown are also being made upto possible extent.

Precautionary Measures

• Covering of manholes on main roads, streets and footpaths is given priority to avoid any accidents. Fixing of missing / stolen manholes covers has been ensured.

• Complaints of open manholes are being taken up on top priority basis.• Desilting / cleaning of sewerage lines in each town before rains is being carried out.

Review & Feedback

• Daily progress review would be done at Chief Engineer level regarding desilting of sewerage lines, missing manholes covers etc.

RAIN NALLAS In city area, there are two main rain Nallas which drain out sullage water from half of the city area.

One runs from universal book depot towards Makrani Para Maki Shah Passing through tulsidas road.

Other one runs from Sattar Shah Pumping Station towards old Power house pumping station Tando Mir Mehmood. Both Nallas run by natural gravity towards their end points.

1st Nalla is covered by rooftop from universal book depot up to sultan hotel but in some places slabs are kept over the holes. By removing these slabs through sanitary workers the excavator can disilt this nalla only to those points.

From Sultan Hotel onwards the whole Nalla in open except some places which are encroached by shopkeepers. Here it is difficult to disilt the nalla. This Nala from universal book depot upto Tulsidas Pumping station is about 10 feet in width through out. From here it passes beneath the overhead bridge and turns into small drain, approximately 3 feet in width, emerging from market and passes beside the railway colony carrying its sullage water towards Makrani Para in a pit. From there it is lifted by HDA pumping stations of Barkat Bhai / Makrani Para.

The work of Desilting of this Nalla is being carried out again and again except those areas which are fully covered with rooftop.

This will cost much more and will cause problems for shopkeeper and public. If sufficient amount is allocated to Hyderabad Municipal Corporation for this purpose, the target can be achieved easily.

Continued

Other Nalla which runs from Sattar Shah Pumping Station Liaquat Colony towards Tando Yousuf Railway Crossing is divided into 3 parts for draining out the sullage water.

1st part runs from Cattle Piri Shahab Cinema towards Sattar Shah pumping Station and drain out the sullage water of UC # 10, 11, 4 and 3.

2nd part runs from Chori Para Ilyasabad towards Rishi Ghat Pumping Staiton. Here Nalla which is 10 or 12 feet in width turns into 2 to 3 feet drain and runs from sweet shop towards Rishi Ghat Pumping Station. The Disilting of Ilyasabad Nalla has been carried out while the drain will be desilted by deploying main power of Nalla Gang to do the need full.

3rd part of rain water Nalla runs from Nishat Plaza towards Tando Yousuf Railway Crossing. From Nishat Plaza upto sitara mosque, the above said nalla is fully covered with rooftop except some places where the slabs are kept to disilt but the problem will not be solved until & unless the roof top on the nalla is removed. Here there is Asia’s largest chori market and the shopkeepers & nearby residents throw all their waste material and garbage in it. Keeping in view, all there difficulties the disilting of work has been carried out where there is access of machine.

From sitara mosque near capital plaza upto faqir ka pir culvert the Nallas is encroached by nearby residents who have built their houses on nalla. Here the access of machine to disilt in difficult but some places are there to do the need full.

From faqir ka pir culvert upto guru nagar culvert the same situation is there but there are some places open to disilt and the work of disilting has been carried out.

From guru nagar culvert upto tando yousuf railway crossing, complete disilting work has been carried out.

LIAQUAT COLONY NALLAS In Rainy Session as the Liaquat Colony is low lying area so in heavy rain the water accumulate

in that area due to poor drainage system. The reason for that is the encroachment over the Nallas by the nearby residents & shopkeepers. Other factor is that proper Disilting of these Nallas have not been carried out previously.

The length of these Nallas is approximately 1KM each from both sides and lies in UC # 10 & UC # 11 respectfully.

UC # 10, Nallas runs from Sakhi Pir culvert towards Pathan Hotel and the Nalla is divided into two parts 1st part runs from Din Mohammad Milk Diary towards Sakhi Pir Culvert and other part runs from Firdous Jamia Mosque to Pathan Hotel near mutton slaughter House. In between this Nalla is totally covered by mosque, shopkeepers and a petrol pump.

UC # 11 Nalla runs from Sakhi Pir Culvert towards Mutton slaughter house separating the Nalla into two parts. 1st parts runs from Modern Plaza towards Mutton Slaughter House and other runs from Modern Plaza towards Sakhir Pir Culvert.

The following action will be taken before Moonson season to rectify the problem.

1. Disilting campaign will be launched immediately on both Nalla (work in progress).

2. Department of Encroachment will be taken into task to remove the encroachments where the problem lies.

3. In the case of heavy rain Diesel pump will be installed at the both ends of Nallas to drain out the rain water smoothly.

PROBLEMS:1. Shortage of Pump Operators and Labour for loading and Shifting of Diesel pumps.

2. Vehicle for shifting and loading of Diesel Pump
