Under one of the project components of Ujjain Smart City, it is proposed to collect the stormwater from various drains coming towards RudraSagar lake and let the screened water fall in the lake during rainy season. The civil work and electromechanical work have been completed at Shri Mahakal Corridor near RudraSagar. This is a unique concept and one of its kind in urban drainage systems in India. The first run-off having floating material, debris etc will be by bypassed and after that screened water will be allowed to RudraSagar lake. The system is consisting of 4 mechanical screens each catering a flow rate of 7.20 cum/sec with a conveyor belt and 5 sluice gates. The system has been successfully commissioned recently is working well in current monsoon.
To prevent medium/coarse sized floating wastes from storm water having flow rates up to 7.20 cum/sec, 4 Nos of mechanically cleaned bar screens (inclined at 75 deg) made stainless steel (SS 304) with clear opening of 20 mm have been installed. The screened stormwater being let to fall in Rudra Sagar lake. A Conveyor Belt and chute arrangement has been provided to take the screenings. Screenings dropped from the chute being collected in a mobile container.
