The Pump House Division services as a crucial hub within CWPRS, acting as the central axis for delivering water to facilitate carrying out scaled physical model studies of national/international projects handled by CWPRS and provide potable drinking water supply to colony residents and office staff. With our water source constrained, rigorous control and vigilant monitoring are essential to reliably meet the exacting demands of CWPRS model studies.

The source of water supply to CWPRS is catered primarily through uninterrupted supply from the NMRBC (North Mutha Right Bank Canal) and partly contributed through MS Pipe of 500 mm diameter laid from Khadakwasla Dam. As per the agreement of water supply with the state irrigation limited to 750 Cum, whereas, the average quantity of continuous water required for conducting model studies is in the order of 40 to 90 cubic feet per second (cusecs).  To facilitate water requirement for hydraulic model studies with limited source, CWPRS constructed three recirculation systems having a capacity of 120 cusecs, 100 cusecs and 60 cusecs for storage of water. The distribution of water to the physical models is primarily facilitated by high-capacity pumping systems, which transport water to elevated reservoirs. Subsequently, the water flows through a network of gravity canal systems with capacities of 120, 100, and 60 cusecs, leading to octagonal distribution chambers. These chambers serve as crucial junctures where control gates regulate the water supply to the models according to their specific demands.
