Work Detail

Surface Water Pollution Monitoring Or Control Services – 81309069-River Water Quality Monitoring And Database Management System Establishment. This Tender Is Part Of The Project Strengthening Institutions For Climate Change Adapted Water Resources Management In Dhaka, Which Is Commissioned By The German Federal Ministry For Economic Cooperation And Development (Bmz). The Project Supports Its Partners In Improving The Institutional And Technical Foundations To Ensure Water Quality In The Meghna River. Dhaka, The Capital Of Bangladesh, Home To Approximately 15 Million Inhabitants, Primarily Relies On Groundwater For Its Safe Drinking Water Supply. However, This Vital Resource Is Under Threat Due To Over-Extraction, And The Effects Of Climate Change. To Reduce The Stress On Groundwater, Conjunctive Use Of Both Ground And Surface Water For Water Supply Of Dhaka City Should Be Practiced. However, The Rivers (Buriganga, Shitalakshya, Dhaleshwari, Balu, Turag, Etc.) Surrounding Dhaka Suffer From Severe Water Pollution Making Them Unsuitable For Use. The Main Contributors To This Pollution Include Rapid Urbanization, Unplanned Development Along Riverbank Including Industries Without/Nonfunctional Effluent Treatment Plants (Etp) And Settlements Without Sewage Treatment Facilities, And Insufficient Capacity Of Different Stakeholders To Monitor Water Quality And Enforce Environmental Regulations. To Ensure Long-Term, Sustainable Safe Drinking Water Supply For Dhakas Residents, The Government Of Bangladesh Plans To Source Water From The Meghna River. As Of Now The Water Quality Of Meghna River Is Relatively Good And The Quality Must Be Retained In Future Not To Overstress The Treatment Plant. The Saidabad Phase Iii Treatment Plant Is Set To Abstract Water From The River Meghna. The Intake Point Is Strategically Located At Haria, An Area Characterized By A Diverse Range Of Industrial Activities. Significant Water Vehicle Traffic Is Observed Near The Intake, Primarily Due To The Substantial Industrial Development In The Surrounding Region. Moreover, There Are A Lot Of Canals Which Are Draining To The River In The Proximity Of The Intake Location. Dhaka Water Supply And Sewerage Authority (Dwasa) Has Developed A Draft Water Quality Monitoring Plan For River Meghna Encircling The Intake Recognizing The Significant Role That Meghna River Will Play In Meeting The Water Needs Of Dhaka City In The Future. To Support Its Partners In Improving The Institutional And Technical Foundations To Ensure Water Quality In The Meghna River, The Project Implements The Following Activities:? Establishing A Coordination Process To Align Measures To Protect The Quality Of Water In The Meghna River In Line With The Meghna River Master Plan.? Setting Up An Integrated Water Quality Monitoring System To Improve The Institutional Capabilities Required To Maintain Suitable Water Quality And Ensure Safe Water Supply.? Enhancing The Capacities Of Large-Scale Industries And Smes To Minimise Water Pollution.? The Contractor Should Contribute To The Second Activity Setting Up An Integrated Water Quality Monitoring Syste
