INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT BACKGROUND 1.1 INTRODUCTION Agra is an important historical city of India situated on the right bank of the river Yamuna. A large number of rich monuments in the city untold the medieval period. The place is a great attraction not only to scholarly but in a very large measure to the tourists from all parts of the world. Thus Agra has developed in to one of the most important tourist centres of the country. The Taj Mahal is the focal point which is daily visited by several thousand people from all walks of life from the whole world. The idea of beautifying the surroundings of the Taj is under consideration from a long time. Water front is always fascinating. Hence, there has been a proposal to create a lake by constructing a low height barrage on river Yamuna, 1.5 km down stream of Tajmahal. Construction of Barrage for the creation of water front at Taj is essential to restore the beauty of Taj as it was in ancient Mughal Period. The construction of Barrage at 1.5Km downstream of barrage will not only improve the Tajmahal area from aesthetic point of view but will also facilitate the boating, navigation and water sports in the river, improvement in ground water level. The boating shall be provided in such a way that the tourists can enjoy the beauty of Ancient Ghats, Ram Bagh, Atmadaulla and Taj Mahal during boating. The barrage which shall also consist of two Lane Bridge. By constructing connecting road it will ease the traffic of city After the construction of Barrage the environment of nearby area will improve significantly. The ground water level is also likely to go up. Due to ponding acquaintance will develop and the humidity of the atmosphere is expected to increase, which will decrease the dryness and hotness of atmosphere resulting in major improvement of Taj Trapezium area. The development of green belt around the pond will improve the environment. The main object of this project is to create storage of water at all the time in Dry River, Improvement of the ground water level in Agra, valued or non-valued navigation through river routes reducing the pressure on other mode of transport. The development of green belt around the pond will improve the environment around the smart city of Agra and the Taj Mahal, which is a “World Heritage Monument”. 1.2 BACKGROUND The river Yamuna originates from Yamunotri Glacier in the lower Himalayas. The river with its total flow length of 1376km, travels through number of historical, religious and big cities P a g e | 4 Irrigation and water resource Department, Uttar Pradesh PRE-FEASIBILITY REPORT like Saharanpur, Delhi, Vrindavan, Mathura, Agra, Kanpur, Hamirpur and merges into river Ganga at Allahabad. The Agra city situated on the right bank of river Yamuna, is on the most important tourist and pilgrimage centre of the country and have a large number of monuments in the catchment down stream of Okhla Barrage. All the water available in Yamuna River is diverted into the canal from Hathnikund barrage at U.P. border. From downstream of Hathnikund barrage, water released to Okhla barrage i.e. diverted in Agra Canal for irrigation purpose of Haryana, U.P. and for B.T.P.S/NTPC Delhi/ Faridabad and specified quantity of water release in downstream of Yamuna river for Gokul barrage at Mathura, which is supplied as drinking water Mathura city . Resulting is that, from downstream of Gokul barrage to downstream of Taj Mahal, the general hydrology shows that during lean period river has low discharge as practically NIL to few thousands cusecs at different locations in Non-monsoon period. In monsoon water varies from 1.00 lac to 3.50 lacs cusecs, it reveals that the river carries inadequate discharge during monsoon from July to October months. Hence there has been a proposal to create a lake by constructing a low height barrage for the purpose of beautification, raising of ground water level and navigation route. Honourable Chief minister , Uttar Pradesh Government has announce to construct a barrage on river Yamuna at 1.5 Km Downstream of Tajmahal on 26.10.2017. (Announcement No. YAL-18/2017 Sl. No. GH11Y000040 ). Since it was demanded by various Jan Pratinidhi and recommended by various committee including parliament committee since long time. After that a Detail Project Report has been prepared costing Rs.706.00 crore. The Project has been approved by Departmental Chief Engineers Committee. The Length of Barrage is 475m . the 22 bay is proposed in 475m length of Barrage. As Yamuna River from Delhi to Allahabad has been declared the National Waterway No.110, Two bay has been proposed for navigation purpose and shall be constructed as per requirement of Inland Waterway Authority of India.The pond level of Barrage has been kept 146.00 m . Archaeological Survey of India has recommended the level of 146.00m as it the safe level for Tajmahal and other monument situated at bank of river Yamuna.The crest Level of Barrage is 143.50 metre. Hence approx. 2.5 metre height in Barrage is proposed. The propose Barrage consist of following. 1. Main Barrage 2. Two

  • Current Condition of the Yamuna River - an Overview of Flow, Pollution Load and Human Use
    Current condition of the Yamuna River - an overview of flow, pollution load and human use Deepshikha Sharma and Arun Kansal, TERI University Introduction Yamuna is the sub-basin of the Ganga river system. Out of the total catchment’s area of 861404 sq km of the Ganga basin, the Yamuna River and its catchment together contribute to a total of 345848 sq. km area which 40.14% of total Ganga River Basin (CPCB, 1980-81; CPCB, 1982-83). It is a large basin covering seven Indian states. The river water is used for both abstractive and in stream uses like irrigation, domestic water supply, industrial etc. It has been subjected to over exploitation, both in quantity and quality. Given that a large population is dependent on the river, it is of significance to preserve its water quality. The river is polluted by both point and non-point sources, where National Capital Territory (NCT) – Delhi is the major contributor, followed by Agra and Mathura. Approximately, 85% of the total pollution is from domestic source. The condition deteriorates further due to significant water abstraction which reduces the dilution capacity of the river. The stretch between Wazirabad barrage and Chambal river confluence is critically polluted and 22km of Delhi stretch is the maximum polluted amongst all. In order to restore the quality of river, the Government of India (GoI) initiated the Yamuna Action Plan (YAP) in the1993and later YAPII in the year 2004 (CPCB, 2006-07). Yamuna river basin River Yamuna (Figure 1) is the largest tributary of the River Ganga. The main stream of the river Yamuna originates from the Yamunotri glacier near Bandar Punch (38o 59' N 78o 27' E) in the Mussourie range of the lower Himalayas at an elevation of about 6320 meter above mean sea level in the district Uttarkashi (Uttranchal).

  • Gokul Study Report
    Gokul Study Report July 23, 2016 1. Introduction and Background Gokul is a small town in Uttar Pradesh on the east side of the Yamuna River. A general location of Gokul in relation to Mathura and Agra is shown in Figure 1. below. Gokul is located 15 km south- east of Mathura in Uttar Pradesh between 27.45° North Latitude and 77.72° E / 27.45; 77.72ast Latitude. It has an average elevation of 163 m (534 feet). Gokul encompasses a small area of about 2 sq km. Figure 1: Satellite map of Gokul (courtesy of Google Maps) Page 1/11 According to Vedic Scripture, Lord Krishna was brought up under the care of Nanda and Yoshoda, the first family of the village. Since Kangsha, Krishna's uncle, used to kill every baby born to Devaki, Nanda exchanged his own new born daughter with Vasudeva in order to smuggle Krishna away without raising Kangsha's suspicion. During his stay at Gokul, Krishna spent his time in fun and frolic, though his life did come under threat a few times. He was very naughty as a child, and when Krishna was an infant, and the demoness Putana came to the village at the appeal of Kangsha. She laced her nipples with poison and tried to breastfeed Krishna. However, Krishna suckled on her until he completely drained her life away. The river Yamuna used to flow near the village as it still does, and a five-headed serpent known as Kaliya used to live in its waters. Kāliyā was a powerful cobra, who made the river waters poisonous and made the forests barren.

  • Water Balance Study of Semi-Arid Region – a Case Study M.A
    ISSN: 2277-9655 [Alam* et al., 5(12): December, 2016] Impact Factor: 4.116 IC™ Value: 3.00 CODEN: IJESS7 IJESRT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES & RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY WATER BALANCE STUDY OF SEMI-ARID REGION – A CASE STUDY M.A. Alam*, Rajat Kango, Janmeet Singh * Associate Professor, Civil Engineering Department, PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh - 160012, India ME Student, Civil Engineering Department, PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh -160012, India Ph.D Student, Civil Engineering Department, PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh -160012, India DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.225402 ABSTRACT Rational estimation of groundwater potential of any region is one of the major influential factors towards increasing the cultivable land area in that region. Groundwater is pumped out regularly to supplement the available surface water resources in fulfilling the water demands of the region. Increase in population and more demand of water for irrigation purposes and domestic uses will cause the digging up of greater number of tube wells to meet the increasing water demand, thus, the water table will fall at a faster rate resulting in increased cost of pumping. The concept of Water Balance helps in studying the behaviour and hydrological characteristics of a catchment area. Thus, Precipitation and Evapotranspiration are major sources of input and output of water respectively. The development, planning and operation of water resources project are dependent upon the availability of water in the required quantity. The present study is based upon the available data on Agra district of Uttar Pradesh to manage the sustainable development of the available water resources to meet the demand. Thus, in order to estimate the safe draft of groundwater, location of new wells and to suggest other economical sources of water this study was carried out.
