14 IMPORTANT PLACES AFFECTED DURING FLOODS ALONG TUNGABHADRA RIVER
Hampi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is located 40 Kms downstream of Dam.
Navabrindavan, near Hampi, is of importance to the followers of the saint Sri
Raghavendra. The Brindavan (sacred tomb) of the Nine saint is located 20 Kms downstream of Dam in a small island formed by Tungabadra, east of the
Anegondi village.
2009 historical floods
Mantralaya is one of important pilgrimage center with Brindavan of Sri
Raghavendra Swamy Temple ( 17 Century saint) which is located 150km downstream of TB Dam.
Kurnool town is located 180km downstream of TB dam.

During the water year 2018-19 the Tungabhadra dam is filled early i.e. in the month of July. On 19th of July the spill way gates are opened as per flood operation schedule. On 17th Aug 2018—2,20,000 cusec (Max. discharge of 2018) was released

18 A case for integrated Operations of Reservoirs Singataluru project & Tungabhadra
By Comparing the above inflow forecast of CWC Gauge & inflow realized at TB Dam
The average variation is 13% ( Permissible accuracy limits is 20 %).
Variation is more during High flood period.
Variation is low during receding time of flood at TB Dam.
The above variation is due to independent operation of Singataluru Project (Power house) during flood season.
Singataluru Project authorities suddenly release during floods without intimation to downstream TB Dam project & sudden closing the gates during receding time of flood.
This is causing problem to correctly assess inflow to the Tungabhadra Dam and accordingly operate spillway gates to release the flood. 19 A case for integrated Operations of Reservoirs Singataluru project & Tungabhadra
Incident of more spillway releases than inflow on 1st September 2018 –TB Dam.
CWC is proposing inflow forecast station at Singatalur project from monsoon 2019.
This is intune with the CWC proposals for creations flood crisis management teams (FCMT) for set of reservoirs in sub-basin/basins of the country for integrated operation of reservoirs so that flood is mitigated.
