1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
A City Development Plan is both a perspective and a vision for the future
development of a city. It presents the current stage of the city’s development -where
are we now? It sets out the directions of change - where do we want to go? It
identifies the thrust areas — what do we need to address on a priority basis? It also
suggests alternative routes, strategies, and interventions for bringing about the
change - what interventions do we make in order to attain the vision? It provides a
framework and vision within which projects need to be identified and implemented.
It establishes a logical and consistent framework for evaluation of investment
decisions.
1.2 CONCEPT AND PRINCIPLES OF CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The City Development Plan is both a planning process and a product, which
promotes partnership among various stakeholders in a city- the city government, the
private business sector, civil society, academic, and national government agencies-
to jointly analyze growth issues, develop a vision for the future, formulate
development strategies, design programmes, prioritize projects, mobilize resources,
implement, monitor and evaluate implementation. The CDP is anchored on the
following principles of a sustainable city.
1. Livability - what can be done to ensure a healthy and dignified standard of
living for the city's residents?
2. Competitiveness - how can the cities be more competitive in the global
economy?
3. Bankability - how can the cities be more sustainable? How can public-private
partnerships be promoted and/or enhanced?
4. Good Governance - how can a city's management be improved? How can
accountability, integrity and transparency be made an integral part of a city's
management?
1.3 AIM

2.4 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF PONDA
Ponda, known as Antruz Mahal because of the concentration of culture,
music, drama and poetry also houses the temples of Lord Mangesh (Shiva), Lord
Nagesh, Lord Ganapati, Lord Ramnath and the Goddesses Mhalasa and
Shantdurga.
Ponda can be described as the Hindu heart of Goa. It is famous for the five
important temples that are situated around the town, and also has the largest
mosque in Goa. Most of these temples look relatively new as they have been
restored after being destroyed by the Portuguese. That explains why there are no
temples around the coast, which was the prime territory of the Portuguese. Ponda is
also an important transport link.
The city of Ponda lies about 28kms south-east of Panaji and 17kms north-east
of Margao and is also the capital of Ponda Taluka. The town was born after the
Portuguese took over the area in 1791 from the Raja of Sonda and annexed it
along with Quepem, Canacona and Sanguem forming the New Conquests.
Today it is an industrial city with many large factories and industrial estates
nearby. Goa's only engineering college, the Goa College of Engineering is located
at nearby Farmagudi.
Ponda Taluka is most famous for its temples, most of which have made the
area their home for centuries following displacement from their original sites
elsewhere in Portuguese occupied Goa during the early days of the Inquisition.
Ponda is also the gateway to Goa's wildlife sanctuaries, both the Bondla and
the Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary and also the Dudhsagar Waterfalls.
The temples are concentrated in two main clusters: the first to the north of
Ponda, on the busy NH4, and the second deep in the countryside, around 5 km
west of the town. Most people only manage the Shri Manguesh and Shri Mahalsa,
between the villages of Mardol and Priol.
Among the most interesting temples in the state, they lie just a stone's throw
from the main highway and are passed by regular buses between Panjim and
Margao via Ponda.

6. CITY SERVICES AND UTILITIES
6.1 INTRODUCTION
City services or urban services include those services, which are essential to run
the city life. This section reviews the existing situation and issues related to core
Municipal Services such as Water Supply, Sewerage, Storm Water Drainage, Solid
Waste Management, Street lighting in terms of their current levels of service,
coverage and key issues
6.2 WATER SUPPLY
There is no exclusive water supply scheme for Ponda city alone but the city has
been covered under ‘Regional Water Supply Project namely OPA Water Supply Scheme’. The
OPA scheme has been originally conceived in Portuguese Regime with River
Khanderpar as a source in the year 1957 with a designed capacity of 8 MLD.
Subsequently, the OPA water supply scheme has been limited to only two Taluks
namely Tiswadi and Ponda.
6.2.1 Existing capacities of OPA water works
The original 8 MLD capacity scheme has been augmented with capacities of
12 MLD in the year 1967 and subsequently, 54 MLD in 1972 with allocation of 35 MLD
water for Ponda Taluk and 40 MLD of water for Tiswadi Taluk. The said water works
were about 37 KMs from the Panaji city and the transmission is through pumping up
to Curti and thereby gravity from Curti to Altino. The ultimate distribution from Altino
to Panaji area was through gravity.
In view of the ever-growing demands for industrial sector in Ponda and also
domestic and institutional needs of Tiswadi, recently, another augmentation with
treatment capacity of 40 MLD capacities has been implemented. Hence, the total
capacity of treatment available as on
date is 114 MLD.

6.2.2 Description of the Water Supply System
Water from the impounding reservoir at Khanderpar river flows by gravity / on
line boosting to the Water treatment plant at OPA. Water is treated by
conventional treatment processes comprising of aeration, clariflocculation, rapid
sand filtration and disinfection with chlorine.
Tab 6.2 Water supply details of OPA
6.2.4 Water treatment plants
The raw water of River Khanderpar is highly turbid with presence of Manganese
and Iron, etc. Hence, the exiting treatment plant has been equipped with aeration,
coagulation, filtration, chlorination, etc., to meet the CPHEEO drinking water
standards.
Total water produced at OPA 114 MLD

6.2.5 Summary Observations
 The main source of drinking water to the Ponda city is from the OPA reservoir.
 Demand of water supply to the city is 200LPCD
 Percentage of non-revenue source of water(Includes Leakages & Theft) is 40%
 There are four treatment plants located at OPA reservoir with capacity of
8MLD, 12MLD, 54MLD & 40MLD of which 15MLD of water is pumping to Ponda
municipal area.
 All the wards in the Ponda municipal area are getting adequate water supply
with duration of 16-18 /day

6.3 STORM WATER DRAINAGE
Ponda city is lying in the mid-part of Goa and Zuari River is flowing on the
west to city. From the past years the city has never been floods, hence Ponda is not
a flood prone area. The streams from the town i.e. Drains are joining finally to Zuari
River. One major Nalla flowing through the Centre of the city of which all the waste
water rom HH is joining in to Nalla and this drain is mixing with Zuari River.
6.3.1 Existing Scenario
 Drains are located on both sides of the road.
 Drains which are located in Residential areas are closed whereas in
commercial/Urban Poor Settlement they remain open.
 All these drains are joining into Nalla, which is a stream of Zuari River.
Main Nalla (Stream) in which all drains get joined. Existing Situation of Drain

PAGE 44
6.4 SEWERAGE
6.4.1 EXISTING SEWERAGE SYSTEM
The population according to 2011 census is 22664. At present, there is no system
for the disposal of common sewage and waste water in Ponda town. About 60% of
the building specially the new multi-storied building are provided with septic tanks
but due to the topography of the area & poor absorption of the effluents, in laterite
strata the effluent leakage create health hazards and environmental problem. The
project is planned to cater the needs of Ponda town for environmental up-gradation.
Ponda and surrounding areas do not have independent and separate sewerage
system. The open surface drains serve the twin objectives of sewage collection /
transportation throughout the year and storm water drainage in monsoon season.
These drains are serves of transporting the waste water as well as storm water of many
areas to the river without treatment. These are also not inadequately designed too,
resulting in frequent over flow.
 Sewerage system in the city is very weak and needs up gradation, there are
no sewerage treatment plants in the city.
 All the sewer lines and drainage lines in the city are connected to the Nalla
which is flowing from the Centre of the city.
 All the house hold waste, industrial effluents are directly disposed in to the
Nalla without treatment, since the Nalla is completely diliapated and highly
polluted.
PRESENT STATUS
 City doesn’t have efficient sewerage system.
 Quantity of sewerage generated in the city is about 10 MLD.
 There are no sewerage treatment plants in the city.
 There are two public toilets in the city, one is at market, and another is at old
bus stop.
 SIDCGL provided a self-sustained treatment plant with phytogenic
technology for only 110 residential plots in the city and the treated water is
being utilized for the gardening and building construction purposes.
 Charges of 35% of water supply is collected from the individual plots for the
treatment plant provided.
 More than 95% of the sewerage generated is disposed in to the Nalla without
treatment.
 There are about 8 complaints per month regarding sewerage from residents
and farmers

PAGE 45
6.4.2 Existing Treatment Facility
Since no regular sewerage systems are provided for Ponda Municipal area as
such there is no treatment facility available for the treatment of sewage.
Approximately 60% of the total house dwellings have facilities of septic tanks and the
rests of the households are having latrines with or without septic tanks. So the
domestic untreated sewage directly gets mixed with the regular waste water which
further joins the collecting system and ultimately meets the river. Zuari.
SIDCGL provided a self-sustained treatment plant with phytogenic technology
for only 110 residential plots in the city and the treated water is being utilized for the
gardening and building construction purposes. Charges of 35% of water supply is
collected from the individual plots for the treatment plant provided.
 SIDGCL divided sewerage project area in to 11 sewerage districts in which
Ponda town lies in 5 of the sewerage districts.
 There is no sewerage scheme in Town.
 The waste water from the Nalla is treated by SIDGCL and then the water is
allowed to join Zuari River.

6.6 ROADS & TRANSPORTATION
Transportation plays an important role in the growth and development of any
settlement. It enhances the linkages of the town with other settlements and it also
improves the connectivity within the town. This section covers the scenario of
transportation sector and related problems and issues.
6.6.1 ROAD NETWORK IN MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY
The city is connected by roads to the Goan capital of Panaji and the main
railway junction of Margao. Regularly-scheduled bus services to Panaji and Margao
depart from the Kadamba Transport Corporation bus stand on the outskirts of the
town. Buses to nearby villages and towns, as well as interstate buses, also depart
from the same bus stand. There are buses regularly between Ponda
and Dharwad, Hubli and Belgaum run by the Karnataka State Road Transport
Corporation.

the auto rickshaws and two wheelers taxis play major role for transportation of local
passengers/commuter and tourists to nearby places. Apart from public transport,
private cars and motorbike are also used for localized movement. But as far as
parking is concerned, the numbers of parking places are not commensurate to the
number of vehicles available in the city. There is lack of parking places in the whole
city. Although it is marked that vehicles are parked on road on proper manner but

11.2 NATURAL FEATURES OF PONDA & THE FRAGILE NATURE OF THE AREA
 The industrial center of the state, Ponda is home to many large factories and
industrial estates, and is Goa's fastest-growing city.
 The city has a Nalla, Stream of Zuari River which is polluted by the waste from
HH and Industries. Pollution levels are increasing– reasons need to be
explored.
 BPL families who are living in wards 5, 6 and 7 don not appear on official
records. However there are presence of beggars / pavement dwellers, poor
migrant laborers on construction sites etc. whose presence has a bearing on
city infrastructure and urban services.
 Transport – one of the problems is bad road geometry/ alignment / bad
signage’s /, absence of regulations.
 More public toilets are required in view of the large number of tourists coming
into the City. In the absence of such public toilets tourists resort to public
places for answering nature's calls.
 In need of Sewerage scheme which needs to be implemented using GIS and
3D images by identifying problems.
