The Nagpur city has 3 natural drainage zones (Figure
1), namely, north, central, south on account of the topography of the city. The
sewerage system of the city mainly consists of gravity sewers with only one
pumping station and treatment plant located at Bhandewadi. Part of the flow
generated in the central zone is treated in this treatment plant. But sewage
that flows from northern and southern zones flows to the stream without any
treatment. Zone wise details of existing sewerage system are as shown in Table 1.
