Uluberia Water Supply

I went to see how the Uluberia Water Project was going on. This is being done by KMWSA. It will supply 10 MGD (million gallons per day). Project cost is Rs. 15 crore.
I set a target that it should be completed before November 2010.

I had an interesting discussion on whether vertical pumps or horizontal pumps were better. Technical opinion is sharply divided on this, I found. I'll try and get the opinion of the experts in Delhi on Monday when I'll be there on the 23rd.
