Upper Yamuna River Board 05 UPSTREAM PROJECT Government of India has included the three proposed storage projects in the upper reaches of Yamuna and its tributaries known as Renukaji Dam, Kishau Dam and Lakhwar-Vyasi Projects as National Projects for which 90% of the cost of irrigation and drinking water supply component of the project shall be provided by the Government of India. LAKHWAR MULTI PURPOSE PROJECT Lakhwar multi-purpose project is located on river Yamuna at Lohari in Dehradun district of Uttarakhand. It is a concrete dam of 204 m height and of 481.5 M length with a live water storage capacity of 330 MCM and an underground power house with an installed capacity of 300 MW (3X100 MW). It is to be constructed with a balancing reservoir and a barrage at Katapather, 13.65 Km d/s of Lakhwar dam. This project would deliver irrigation benefit to 33,780 ha of Culturable Command Area (CCA) and make available 78.83 MCM of water for drinking & industrial use. In February 2009, it was declared as National Project. All the statutory clearances of the project including investment clearance have been obtained. Water benefit shall be shared among six states – Delhi, Haryana, UP, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and HP as per MoU, 1994 regarding “Allocation of Surface Flow of Yamuna”. The agreement for the constraction of the project has been signed between the states of Delhi, Haryana, UP, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and HP in the presence of Hon’ble Minister of Water Resources on 28.08.2018. Upper Yamuna River Board 06 RENUKAJI PROJECT Dam Project has been conceived as a storage project on Giri River in Sirmour district of Himachal Pradesh. The Project envisages construction of 148 m high rock fill Dam across River Giri at Dadahu and a Powerhouse at toe of Dam to generate 40MW of power. The project will provide 49800 ha m (0.498 BCM) of live storage in its reservoir and a firm water supply to the tune of 23 cumecs to Delhi. The project has been declared as Project of National Importance in February, 2009, as such the cost (excluding power component) shall be borne by Govt. of India (GoI) and beneficiary states in the ratio of 90:10. An agreement for the construction of the project has been signed between the state of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, National Capital Territory of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana & Rajasthan on 11-01-2019 wherein it was decided that NCT of Delhi shall bear cost of power. KISHAU MULTIPURPOSE PROJECT Kishau Dam Project is a multipurpose project on River Tons ( a tributary of river Yamuna) at the border of District. Dehradun (U.K.) & District Sirmour (H.P) located at 45 km. U/S of Dakpathar. The proposed project is located on river Tons in District Dehradun, Uttarakhand and District Sirmour, Himachal Pradesh about 45 Kms. upstream of Dakpathar. The project area lies between N 300 40’ and E 770 47’. It is a gravity dam of 236 m height and 680 m length with a live water storage capacity of 1324 MCM.

  • Chapter-1 Introduction

    Chapter-1 Introduction

    CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION 1.0 Background Lakhwar Project is a part of multipurpose scheme primarily a peaking power station on river Yamuna in the district of Dehradun in Uttarakhand. The scheme envisages construction of 204m high concrete dam on river Yamuna near Lohari village. The Multipurpose scheme also envisages construction of Vyasi HEP (Hathiari power station) downstream of Lakhwar HEP. The scheme also includes construction of a barrage at Katapathar about 3 Km downstream of Hathiari powerhouse station (Vyasi HEP) on river Yamuna. The inflow and stored water in Lakhwar and Vyasi reservoir after generation of power at Lakhwar underground power house and Hathiari power house will be balanced at Katapathar barrage for downstream use. As a result of regulated flow from the Katapathar barrage, it is also assessed that about 75 MU of additional energy would be generated from the existing downstream projects of Uttarakhand state such as Dhakrani, Dhalipur, Kulhal and Khara. The live storage of Lakhwar reservoir is estimated to be 330.66 MCum. The project was originally approved by planning commission with estimated cost of Rs. 140.97 crores in Jan, 1976 as multipurpose scheme. Environmental clearance was accorded to the project by MOE&F in Feb, 1987. The initial work of Lakhwar Vyasi Project was started in 1979 and three major contracts for construction of main civil works of the project were signed in July, 1987. Some construction works such as abutment stripping for Lakhwar dam, construction of 2 nos. diversion tunnels, part excavation of underground powerhouse, part excavation of tail race tunnel etc at Lakhwar site and abutment stripping for Vyasi dam, excavation of head race tunnel, diversion channel, part excavation of 1-1 surge shaft, pressure shaft, surface powerhouse, etc at Vyasi/ Hathiari site have been completed.

  • Report on Women and Water

    Report on Women and Water

    SUMMARY Water has become the most commercial product of the 21st century. This may sound bizarre, but true. In fact, what water is to the 21st century, oil was to the 20th century. The stress on the multiple water resources is a result of a multitude of factors. On the one hand, the rapidly rising population and changing lifestyles have increased the need for fresh water. On the other hand, intense competitions among users-agriculture, industry and domestic sector is pushing the ground water table deeper. To get a bucket of drinking water is a struggle for most women in the country. The virtually dry and dead water resources have lead to acute water scarcity, affecting the socio- economic condition of the society. The drought conditions have pushed villagers to move to cities in search of jobs. Whereas women and girls are trudging still further. This time lost in fetching water can very well translate into financial gains, leading to a better life for the family. If opportunity costs were taken into account, it would be clear that in most rural areas, households are paying far more for water supply than the often-normal rates charged in urban areas. Also if this cost of fetching water which is almost equivalent to 150 million women day each year, is covered into a loss for the national exchequer it translates into a whopping 10 billion rupees per year The government has accorded the highest priority to rural drinking water for ensuring universal access as a part of policy framework to achieve the goal of reaching the unreached.

One of the important functions of the NGRBA is to prepare and implement a Ganga River Basin Management Plan (GRBMP). A Consortium of seven “Indian Institute of Technology”s (IITs) was given the responsibility of preparing the GRBMP by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), GOI, New Delhi. A Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was therefore signed between the 7 IITs (IITs Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) and MoEF for this purpose on July 6, 2010. The GRBMP is presented as a 3-tier set of documents. The three tiers comprise of: (i) Thematic Reports (TRs) providing inputs for different Missions, (ii) Mission Reports (MRs) documenting the requirements and actions for specific missions, and (iii) the Main Plan Document (MPD) synthesizing background information with the main conclusions and recommendations emanating from the Thematic and Mission Reports.

The bullet shot right through his chest missing his heart marginally. While talk- ing to him in the hospital he said, “Ladaai jaari hai (Struggle is continuing)”… Dams Built on Rivers of Blood 5 Introduction The district of Sonbhadra was carved out from Mirzapur on the 4th of March 1989 and it is second largest district of Uttar Pradesh (UP). The district is stretched across an area of 6788 km2 out of which 3782.86 km2 is covered by forest area. This contrib- utes to around 55.73% of the total land area. Apart from the forest areas and the rich varieties of flora and fauna found in the area, the district is also famous for the growing number of industries and industrial pollution.
