Abstract
Auroville as an emerging city is faced with numerous challenges in regard to planning and implementation. The master plan envisions a population of 50.000 residents. Currently 2500 people live in Auroville. Settlements are wide spread and experience uneven growth. New communities materialize in previously undeveloped areas and infrastructure has to be provided. Some settlements were founded more than 30 years ago and often the infrastructure is outdated and in need of repair. This situation poses several difficulties In order to provide adequate infrastructure that remains relevant for future development, a proportionately high investment is required so that sewer and treatment systems can be expanded when necessary. Some essential basic town planning parameters have not yet been finalized and a high degree of flexibility in the system design is required so that modifications of zoning parameters and population distribution can be accommodated. Auroville experiences long spells of dry weather and water shortages. One of the key parameters in the concept of this study is the re-use of recycled waste water for irrigation and other purposes. This requires a secondary water distribution system with pipe- and pump-networks and water storage facilities. End of April 2012 L’Avenier, the civic body of Auroville responsible for town planning and development issued a brief 2 to commission the current study and provide a concept for waste water infrastructure and management for the Residential Zone I and II. The study is presented in four parts, available as separate booklets. This current volume contains part 1.
