Deal #10798

Construction Phase: During construction, water was initially sourced from a tube well in the nearby Kywal Chan Village. However, the plan was to eventually establish two tube wells within the project site for ongoing water usage. Operation Phase: The primary water source for operations is the two on-site tube wells, with a deep well pump system transferring water to a 150m3 fire fighting pool at the booster station. This pool serves as the main water reservoir for various needs, including firefighting, gardening, and cleaning the PV modules.

The EMP report states a daily consumption of 2.0 m3/day for the 10 staff members at the booster station. Assuming this usage remains consistent throughout the year, the annual domestic water consumption would be: 2.0 m3/day * 365 days/year = 730 m3/year. The EMP report estimates water consumption for cleaning PV modules at 523 m3 per cleaning. With cleaning expected every six months, the annual usage for this purpose would be: 523 m3/cleaning * 2 cleanings/year = 1046 m3/year.
