1. Background

Worldwide Dhaka City is renowned for the heavy crowd of dwelling residents. Dhaka Water Supply & Sewerage Authority (Dhaka WASA) is an autonomous body, responsible to ensure proper water supply distribution and sanitation facilities in the core Dhaka boundary. Being an unplanned city, the tasks are very challenging as well as balancing the impact of climate change and increasing demand of dwellers. The journey of the pipe-borne sewer system of Dhaka WASA started in 1963 with a 68 km sewer line and 6 (Six) no. of Sewage Lifting Station (SLS) and gradual physical development was witnessed up to 1993. But the progress only covered 20% of the Dhaka City population with ill-functional truck mains, inadequate and dilapidated collection networks etc. To address the existing assets and associated improvements required for the service, DWASA prepared the Sewerage Master Plan in 2013.

According to the Master Plan, Dhaka Metropolitan Development Plan (DMDP) area has been divided into 11 (Eleven) sanitation catchments. However, the core city area has been divided into 5 (five) sanitation catchments. These are (i) Pagla, (ii) Dasherkandi, (iii) Rayerbazar, (iv) Uttara and (v) Mirpur. The core Dhaka city area also covers a small part of the DND-Demra catchment. The proposed plan was to develop individual sewerage systems for each of the catchments including sewage treatment plants (STPs). The master plan identified short-term, mid-term and long-term priorities and proposed implementing those in different phases.

Following the recommendation of the Master Plan, Dhaka WASA took initiatives for the implementation of suggested projects in the action plan. The present scenario shows apart from a few establishments, most of the projects are under the pipeline stage as the implementation demands technical, financial, and social interference. Construction of Dasherkandi STP and trunk main under Dhaka east catchment has been accomplished but the feasibility study for developing sewage collection system in this catchment has just finished, the reconstruction and expansion of Pagla STP along with reconstruction/construction of trunk mains and sewerage networks are going on under Dhaka Sanitation Improvement Project (DSIP), the feasibility study for the construction/reconstruction of sewerage system under Rayerbazar catchment is at final stage. Besides, there are two more feasibility studies which were conducted earlier for the development of sewerage systems under Dhaka West (Mirpur) and Uttara catchments. The land acquisition for the construction of STP under the Uttara catchment is at the final stage. However, the site for the construction of STP under the Dhaka West (Mirpur) catchment is not yet secured. Therefore, updated plans for this catchment are necessary. On the other hand, the initiative is yet to be taken for the construction of the sewerage system DND catchment. The land use and socio-economic situation have changed a lot in the last decade. So, the planning of the sewerage system for this catchment also needs to be updated.

Moreover, in the Master Plan of 2013, population projection and estimation of future demand were done based on the population census of 2001 and 2011. The uncontrolled population growth in the mega city is majorly caused due to climate change-induced migrations from vulnerable areas of Bangladesh and the lion’s share population of these migrants belongs to the slum area. Apart from the forced migration of vulnerable refugees, a significant group of the populace migrates to Dhaka to develop their socio-economic conditions attracting them towards updated lifestyles and facilities. Besides RAJUK has prepared an updated “Detailed Area Plan (DAP)” which has been published through a gazette notification in August 2022. In addition, some administrative changes have occurred within the DMDP area recently. A new city corporation has evolved namely Gazipur city corporation which covers the area of Gazipur and Tongi catchments defined in the sewerage master plan. The Narayanganj city corporation is likely to follow the same planning strategy of Dhaka WASA. This city corporation covers the areas of Narayanganj and Bandar sub-catchments. Due to these changes, the service area under DWASA has practically become limited to a lesser extent compared to the extent as per the WASA Act 1996.

Therefore, the proper identification of low-income communities or hard-to-reach areas or technically non-feasible or remote areas in the city is also necessary for providing sanitation services through on-site sanitation systems or other suitable ways according to IRF 2018 - Dhaka Mega City. To minimize the gap in business-as-usual urban sanitation planning, the new sustainable concept of Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS) is intended to be introduced in the action.

Given the circumstances, Dhaka WASA aims to enhance its approach by revising the 2013 Sewerage Master Plan for Dhaka City. This entails crafting an updated and comprehensive master plan tailored to the core areas of Dhaka, as well as the adjoining regions with the potential for expanding Dhaka WASA's water supply and sanitation services.

2. Objectives, Purpose and Expected Results

The objectives of the study are as follows:

The primary objective of this study is to update the Sewerage Master Plan for Dhaka City, considering the city's current and projected population growth, land-use changes, environmental concerns, and technological advancements. The updated plan should aim for a planning horizon of 2050.

Improve the overall efficiency and sustainability of the sewerage system.
Address issues related to wastewater treatment, disposal, and reuse of renewable energy.
Minimize environmental pollution and public health hazards.
Incorporate climate change resilience strategies into the sanitation and sewerage system.
Ensure equitable access to sanitation services for all residents.
Delineation of onsite and offsite sanitation service areas
Identify funding and investment requirements for the implementation of the plan.

To formulate an updated sanitation strategy and action plan for Dhaka city following the approach of Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS). The strategy shall be based on the recommendation of the existing Sewerage Master Plan, relevant past or ongoing studies and the opinion of the leading country experts in this sector.

3. Description of Assignment
