1.4IntendedUsersofthePlan
The direct users of this Earthquake contingency plan will be the managementpersonnelofDhakaWaterSupply&SewerageAuthority inordertoprovidewaterand sanitation to the people of Dhaka city during immediate response and earlyrecoveryphaseafteranearthquake.Theplanalsocoversthepreparednessactionsbeforeearthquakeforeffectiveresponseafterwards.
In addition to DWASA, the others such as line Ministries, Departments, CityAuthorities, NGOs/ INGOs, electronic and paper Media, Community basedOrganizations (CBOs), Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Academia; DevelopmentPartners will be the passive users of the plan as they will be providing supportservices forplan implementationwith regard toemergency services.Theultimatebeneficiarieswould be the communities at risk to bringnormalcywithin a fastestpossibletime.

Followinglimitationsarenotedwhenthisplanisdrafted: This plan do not address all aspects of earthquake risk management (e.g.
longtermrecoveryplans) ThePlanassumesthatthelineagencieswillhaveMandatoryprovisionsand
nationalcapacitytodealwithassignedtasks.Mandatoryprovisionsfor lineagencies, ministries, and local governments. District authorities can begranted through a gazette notification but Lines of authority need to befinalizedandcommunicatedtoalllevels.
DWASA may need additional resources in terms of qualified manpower,technicalaswellasfinancialresourcestoundertakeassignedtasksundertheEarthquakeContingencyPlan.

EarthquakeHazard,VulnerabilityandRiskAssessmentofWaterandSanitationSystemforContingencyplanning
Earthquake risk assessment of the water and sanitation system was carried outunder earthquake hazard, vulnerability and risk assessment component of CDMPproject is taken as the base for the Contingency planning purpose.

2.2.1VulnerabilityAssessmentofPotableWaterSystem
Vulnerability is assessed from the characteristics of potable water pipeline anddistribution facilities that make them susceptible to the damaging effect of anearthquake. In potable water system, vulnerability is identified from the pipeductilitytype,distributionfacilitytype,andsoilliquefactionsusceptibilityonwhichthepipeandfacilitylieon.Fromthefieldsurvey,itisfoundthatmostofdistributionfacilities are not preparedwith the seismic design, proper anchorage, andbackuppowersystem.Basedonmaterialtype,thepipeisclassifiedintobrittle(PWP1)andductile(PWP2).Brittlepipematerial includesasbestoscement (AC),cast iron(CI),andreinforcedconcrete(RCC),whileductilepipematerialincludesgalvanizediron(GI),ductileiron(DI),mildsteel(MS),PVC,andsteel.Brittlepipeismorevulnerablethanductileone.Potablewater facility includewell, pumping plant, abovegroundtank,andwatertreatmentplant.Pipelineaswellasdistributionfacilitieslocatedonhigher liquefaction susceptibility soil is more vulnerable than those on lower ornoneliquefactionsusceptibility.Thefollowingtablesshowsthepipelinelengthandnumber of facilities in different liquefaction susceptibility soils, as well as spatialdistribution of potable water system components in every ward of Dhaka Citycorporationareas.

In waste water system, vulnerability is identified from the pipe ductility, facilitytype,andsoil liquefactionsusceptibilityonwhich thepipesand facilities lieon.Atthemomentofdataacquisition(inDWASA),thereisnoinformationonpipematerialtype.Fromthe field survey, it canbe identified thatalmostallpipelinearebrittle.Wastewater system facilities comprisewastewater treatmentplant (WWTP) andlift station. In Dhaka, WWTP is located outside the city corporation area, whileexistingliftstationisconsideredtobesmallliftstation(WLSS).
Pipeline and facilities located on higher liquefaction susceptibility soil is morevulnerable than those on lower or none liquefaction susceptibility.
