Technical Study including EIA, SIA, Model Simulation and Source Vulnerability Assessment, under Water Resources Availability and its Impact Due to Abstraction, Use and Discharge in the surrounding Project Area of Coca-Cola Bangladesh Beverages Limited, Bhaluka, Mymensingh.

The study area is located in the west of Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway in Bhaluka, Mymensingh. Inefficient use of water resources is a vital issue to Bangladesh. The problem is mainly caused by i) an excessive water consumption due to the time-based distribution, ii) limited use of surface water. Since water demand is expected to increase in the future, efficient use of the existing water resources as well as development of new water resources is essential. They extract groundwater from aquifers in suction/force method by installing deep/shallow tube wells for industry use. There have already three well installed in 2017. Use of water per day is 800m3. This technical proposal is being created to show the detailed methodology for water resource availability and its impact due to abstraction, use, and discharge in the project area’s surrounding area.

This Technical Study Report, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Social Impact Assessment (SIA) has been prepared to provide-

1) To find out the impact of groundwater resources due to the existing and future abstraction, use and discharge in the study area

2) The outcomes of the surveys.

3) Current regional hydrogeological framework of study location.

4) Groundwater modeling for environmental management.

5) Impact due to abstraction, use & discharge by the study proponent.

6) Groundwater recharge potential.

7) To ensure the sustainability of groundwater in the study area.

8) To evaluate a relationship between the availability and demand of groundwater in the study area.
