5. Introduction of Jamalpur Workshop Water Supply
Jamalpur workshop was established on 8th
February 1862.
Jamalpur Station is on loop line to Delhi–Howrah route, one of
the oldest railway track of Indian Railway. To supply water to all
railway installation at Jamalpur, construction of work,
sedimentationtank,filtration tankandlaying ofpipeand linewas
augmented nearly 100 year ago.
The system required renovation and upgradation due to change
of demand pattern and expiry of codal life of CI pipe. Hence
phase wise renovation has been undertaken and some proposals
are under pipelined of sanction.
It is the first in manufacturing
a) a steam locomotive and a locomotive boiler
b) a rail crane in the countrywith indigenous technology (1961)
c) high capacity electrical lifting jacks and ticket printing, ticket
chopping, ticket slitting and ticket counting machines
d) electrical arc furnaces of ½ tonne capacity (1961) for
production of steel castings and setting a rolling mill (in 1870)
and establishing a railway foundry (1893).
The gradual eclipse of steam traction was completely ended in
August’92. The closure of steam activities was to some extent
overcome with the switching over to the repair of Diesel
Locomotives, repair of unload able wagons and manufacture of
Diesel Hydraulic B.D.Cranes and Tower Cars.

 Water demand for whole Railways set up at Jamalpur is of 26 lakh
gallons per day. To cope up the demand water works at Jamalpur
augmented in year 1913.
 Source :- Sourse of raw water is river Ganges. It is situated at about 9
Kms away from Jamalpur Railways Installations.
 The gross water demandhas been estimated as 8.77 MLD, 10.08 MLD
and 11.40 MLD for the years 2010, 2025 and 2040 respectively. The
WTP has beendesigned fora capacity of 3.4 MGD (year 2025) and 0.4
MGD (year 2040). A total of four OHSRs (1 lakh gallon capacity of
each) have been planned in ward 6, 18, 26 and 31. The length of raw
water pumping main, rising main and distribution line have been
estimated as 12500m, 3975m and 53788m. The per day per capita
supply has been estimated as 70 LPCD. The cost of the new water
supply system has been estimated as 61.76 crore.

9. Arrangement of Intake
 Pontoon floated on the river Ganges at Munger, Bihar.
 Fourpumpsatpantoonin which threeof can pipe2.4 lakh gallon water
per hour and one of which can pipe 1.8 lakh gallon/hr.
 The position of pontoonsas per level requirement at intake.
Aspect and Salient Features
Intake works :- Water is withdrawn from the river Ganga (9 km)through a
Jetty system (Steamer with pumps floating in the river).
Storage of raw water :- North tank and South Tank.
Water Treatment :- Plant Design capacity- 20 Lakh Gallon, It is under
renovation to increase the capacity.
Storage reservoirs :- 8 OHSRs for capacity 2.5 lakh liter , It is under
renovation to increase the capacity.
Distribution System :- 6000m., It is under renovation to increase the
capacity.

10. Arrangement of Conveyance
 Flexible rubber pipe and CI pipes of dia 150 mm up to junction point.
 Cast iron pipe of dia 450 mm and 300 mm from junction point to north
tank in Jamalpur township.
 The length of CI pipe from junction point to north tank is 9.50 kms.
 Now a days CI pipe is changed with DI pipes as the CI pipes are not
resistant to corrosion.

11. Innovation of Raw Water Pipe Line
The old line network carrying raw water from river Ganges required
replacement and in first stage the 2.05 Km if CI pipe falls in the alignmentof
south approach to road cum rail Ganges Bridge has been replaced and 0.75
Km is under proposal by Construction Organization.

12. Raw Water Storage
 North Tank – Capacity 310 lakh gallon.
 South Tank – Capacity 474 lakh gallon.
 Lower Reservoir – Capacity 1081 lakh gallon.
 Upper Reservoir – Capacity 882 lakh gallon.
 Presently sources of all water storages except north tank are from
run off of mountain and surroundings.
SurjMukhi Talab and Kali Pahadi Talab have been identified as few water
bodies of the city under the jurisdiction of JMC. These ponds are polluted
and require rejuvenation.
The other water bodies of the city such as north tank, south tank and water
filter talab falls under jurisdiction of railway.
Presently, northtank andwater filter tank have been used as collection tanks
for storage of raw water from Ganga river.
The water quality in the railway tanks is better than others.(Photos-)

19. Conclusion
Thereis low aquiferdepthavailable belowground levelat Jamalpurfordeep
boring. Hence to maintain existing age old water supply system is necessity
of the day. Being unique and only source of water, phase wise renovation is
the only alternative available way without happening day to day supply of
demand. The work has been already started with active support of Eastern
Railways Headquarters and expected to be completed in coming years.
Conclusion of Training :-
The 6 weeks training that I received at INDIAN RAILWAYS was great
experience forme not onlyon technical terms but also in terms ofinteraction
with other workers. I learnt a great deal on applying the knowledge I have
gained at the University. Learning something from books and lectures is
nothing like having firsthand experience. At loadstar I got to apply my Civil
Engineering knowledge. The company gives the full freedom for the trainee
to get a sufficient training. The trainees are allowed to ask and do anything
relevant to the training. Engineers are always very enthusiastic on giving us
the best training experience.The employees do not think of their designation
but only on the work to be done. Teamwork has been excellent and all of
them are like best friends, even with lower ranked employees like Drivers,
Office aids. And also they are most often at the sites with all kinds of
employees. Everyone was friendly from top to bottom. Employees are busy
with their work but they always help us to improve our knowledge.
Future Scope of Training :-
As an undergraduate of the Schoolof ManagementSciences, I would like
to say that this training program is an excellent opportunity for us to get to
the ground level and experience the things that we would have never gained
throughgoing straight into a job. I am grateful to INDIANRAILWAYS for
giving us this wonderful opportunity. The main objective of the industrial
training is to provide an opportunity to undergraduates to identify, observe
19

20. and practice how engineering is applicable in the real industry. It is not only
to get experience on technical practices but also to observe management
practices and to interact with fellow workers. It is easy to work with
sophisticated machines, but not with people. The only chance that an
undergraduate has to have this experience is the industrial training period. I
feel I got the maximum out of that experience. Also I learnt the way of work
in an organization, the importance of being punctual, the importance of
maximum commitment, and the importance of team spirit. The training
program having three destinations was a lot more useful than staying at one
place throughout the whole six weeks. In my opinion, I have gained lots of
knowledge and experience needed to be successful in a great engineering
challenge, as in my opinion, Engineering is after all a Challenge, and not a
Job.
ThankYou…
