North Eastern Hydraulic and Allied Research Institute (NEHARI)

North Eastern Hydraulic and Allied Research Institute (NEHARI) was established in the year 1996 under Brahmaputra Board, as a follow up of historic 'Assam Accord' inked on the auspicious day – 15th August (Independence Day of India) – in the year 1985 in presence of then, Hon'ble Prime Minister of India Late Shri Rajiv Gandhi. The Institute is situated in sprawling campus of 44 hectares at Rudreswar in North Guwahati at a distance of 25 km from the main city, far from the madding crowd of the city, on the hillock with a panoramic view. The Institute was set up as pioneer laboratory of North Eastern Region for testing of soil, rock, concrete and construction materials for development of water resources and other projects. The Institute has adequate facility for simulating / understanding river behaviour through physical models. Mandate Undertaking field and laboratory investigations, research and development work of basic and applied types in 'Geo-mechanics', 'Concrete Technology', 'Soil Characteristics', 'Construction Materials' and associated issues for development of Hydropower, Irrigation and Flood Control Projects. Activities o Hydraulic Physical Model Testing for Erosion problem study and River training o Soil mechanics o Rock mechanics o Concrete technology o Construction material testing o Geophysical investigations at site o Sediment/Silt analysis NEHARI has patronage of Central Soil and Material Research station (CSMRS), New Delhi and Central Water and Power Research Station (CWPRS), Pune – Internationally recognised apex Institutes in the field of laboratory testing of soil and construction materials and development of physical and mathematical models in the field of water resources. Experts/technical hands of NEHARI have initially been imparted training on the subject by both the above mentioned premier Institutes. During this short span of time, since its inception, NEHARI has successfully completed laboratory testing of soil and materials during investigation and also during execution of a number of projects in the water resources development.

Chapter – I

General

1.1 Brahmaputra and Barak Valleys and the Rivers of Tripura 1.1.1 Brahmaputra Valley and its flood problems Brahmaputra, a trans-boundary river is the one among the mightiest rivers of Asia. River Brahmaputra is called Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet. It emerges from Angsi Glacier, on the northern side of the Himalayas in Burang County in southwestern part of Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) at an altitude of 4877 m. It flows through southern Tibet in the east direction for a longer length, at an average height of 4000 m. At its easternmost point, the river bends around Mount Namcha Barwa and forms the Yarlung Tsangpo Canyon. The total length of Brahmaputra River from its source to outfall at Bay of Bengal is 2906 km : 1625 km in Tibet Autonomous Region, 918 km in India (278 km in Arunachal Pradesh and 640 km in Assam) and 363 km in Bangladesh. The river drains an area of 5,80,000 sq km ( Tibet Autonomous Region of China – 293000 sq km, India – 240,000 sq km and Bangladesh – 47,000 sq km). On its course from Kobo to Dhubri in Assam, about 26 important tributaries on its north bank and about 13 on south bank join the river. Some of the north bank tributaries originate from snow clad Himalayas and others from the lower Himalayas. The total annual flow of the river is about 573 BCM at Jogighopa, which is 29% of the total surface flow of the country. Average width of the Brahmaputra Valley is 80 km, out of which the river itself occupies about 1.5 km to 25 km. The River is braided and unstable in its entire reach in Assam except for a few places. The instability of the river is attributed to high sediment charge, steep slope and transverse gradient. Apart from these, the entire area is in a seismic zone and quite often receives earthquake shocks of moderate to severe intensity. The problem further gets aggravated due to landslides caused by high rainfall. Some manmade avoidable actions in the form of shifting cultivation and non-scientific commercial exploitation of forest, etc. have also accelerated the process of soil erosion in the catchments. The silt brought in the process gets deposited as the river descends into the plains with sudden reduction in slope, with the consequent reduction in the flow velocity and its sediment carrying capacity. Due to heavy deposition of silt, the river has frequently changed its course at different locations. Excessive silt deposition has also given rise to braiding and meandering pattern in the alignment of the river system. ‘Majuli Island’, the largest inhabited river island is located in the Brahmaputra in upper Assam. The left bank tributaries of the river Brahmaputra pass through stable reaches with flat slopes and carry lesser sediment load of finer size. By hypsometric analysis of the tributaries, it is seen that the North bank tributaries indicate relatively young stage while the South bank tributaries indicate a mature stage. This has given rise to inherent tendency of river Brahmaputra to shift its course towards south and the river flows by the side of hills at many places along its bank. The flood in Brahmaputra Valley is a recurring phenomenon and has been causing large scale devastations every year. The reasons for flood can be summarized as below:

81 Annual Report : 2015-16

(a) Inadequate capacity of the river channel due to braided nature thereby spilling of floodwater over the banks (b) Drainage congestion at the outfall of tributaries during the high stage of the main river, and, (c) Excessive silt load in the river due to soil erosion and large scale landslides in the hilly catchments. Crops grown in the Brahmaputra Valley are paddy, jute, mustard, pulses, wheat and sugarcane. Paddy and jute are mainly grown and harvested during monsoon period. Out of four types of paddy crops viz. the Ahu, Sali, Bao and Boro, which constitute about 92% of the cropped area, the first two namely Ahu and Sali are generally affected by floods. The maximum area affected due to floods in the Brahmaputra Valley (including Barak) during the period 1953-2006 was approximately 4.00 m. ha. The flood damage includes crop damage and the permanent loss of land due to erosion. A number of lives are also lost during each flood. The flood and river management measures adopted so far in the valley are mostly of short term structural measures such as construction of embankments, permeable and impermeable spurs, revetments etc. and are area specific only. The poor maintenance of the flood management structures generally causes unexpected miseries to the people in case of their failure. The efficacy of these measures especially in the river system of Brahmaputra, which is highly aggrading / degrading in different reaches, is also debatable. As such, there is a need for constructing storage reservoirs in combination with other structural / non-structural measures. The latter can be decided after studying the river behaviour using scientific tools. For management of floods, erosion control and improvement of drainage congestion, Brahmaputra Board has prepared Master Plans of the Brahmaputra main stem and its 39 tributaries and for Majuli Island. There is also a need to implement the various recommendations made in the Master Plans of Brahmaputra sub-basin prepared by Brahmaputra Board. The regional Task Forces “B” for flood management in N.E. Region has also submitted its report to the Ministry of Water Resources, which should be taken into consideration for early implementation in a time bound manner. 1.1.2 Barak Valley The river Barak is a part of the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna system and is the second largest river of the N.E. Region having eight major tributaries. It originates from a hill east of Mouthana at an elevation of about 2840 m in the southern slopes of Nagaland / Manipur. The Barail, Patkai and Lussai hills bound the sub-basin on its three sides. Total catchment area of the Barak sub-basin up to Indo-Bangladesh border is 41,704 sq km out of which 751 sq km lies in Myanmar. The annual flow from Indian catchment is 29.6 BCM at Badarpurghat. The length of the river from its source upto Bhanga in Cachar district is 532 km after which the Barak bifurcates into two branches known as the Surma and the Kushiara. These two branches enter Bangladesh and again join to form a single river channel and flow up to Bhairab Bazar where it meets with Meghna in Bangladesh. The river Barak is joined by a number of hill streams on both its banks. Flood occurs frequently in this valley causing extensive damage to lives and properties. In order to manage the problem of flood, erosion and drainage congestion, various measures have been taken from time to time by way of construction of embankments, bank protection and drainage improvement works etc. These measures have provided adequate protection to the people of the valley against low and medium floods. In case of high floods, embankments are not able to withstand heavy pressure, consequently number of breaches occur which cause devastating floods in the valley. In order to deal with the 82 Annual Report : 2015-16

problems of floods, bank erosion and drainage congestion, Brahmaputra Board has prepared Master Plans for the Barak sub-basin and Dhaleswari, one of the major tributaries of Barak. 1.1.3 Rivers of Tripura There are eight important rivers in Tripura. These rivers cause flood frequently in the State. Based on investigation and data collected from state Government and various other Central Agencies, Brahmaputra Board has prepared Master Plans for all these rivers and these have been approved by the Central Government. The Master Plans envisage various structural and non-structural measures to tackle flood, erosion and drainage congestion problems. The Feni flows through the “No man’s land” of Indo-Bangla border and its right bank falls in India. The Master Plan of Feni River is under preparation. 1.1.4 Rivers of Meghalaya Ministry of Water Resources, RD&GR through Office Memorandum No. 19/2/2010-B&B/3563-3580 dated 3rd September 2010 constituted a ‘Joint Team’ under the Chairmanship of Chief Engineer (P&D) (now Chief Engineer-I), Brahmaputra Board on matter related to Integrated Water Resources Development in the State of Meghalaya. The ‘Joint Committee’ identified 18 rivers of Meghalaya for preparation of Master Plans. Master Plans of 9 rivers out of these have already been formulated by Brahmaputra Board and are in various stages of approval of Government of India. Out of the remaining 9 Master Plans, one Master Plan has been circulated amongst the Board members and 5 Master Plans are under preparation. 1.1.5 Rivers of Sikkim and West Bengal draining into Brahmaputra River Basin Teesta, Jaldhaka and Torsa – Raidak are three river systems of Sikkim and West Bengal and fall into river Brahmaputra. Master Plans for all the three sub-basins have been formulated. These three Master Plans have been approved by Board. These Master Plans are being submitted for approval of Government of India after compliance of observations of Ministry of Water Resources, RD & GR. 1.1.6 Imphal River in Manipur The Imphal River emerges in the highlands in the state of Manipur to the west of Kangpolpi and flows towards the south. Brahmaputra Board has planned for formulation of a Master Plan of Imphal River and the process for carrying out ‘Survey and Investigation’ of the sub-Basin has been initiated. Presently 4 (Four) Anti-Erosion & Flood Control Schemes on Imphal river are identified.Process for formulation of DPR has been initiated. 1.2 Establishment of Brahmaputra Board and its Functions The Brahmaputra Board, a statutory body, was set up under an Act of Parliament called the ‘Brahmaputra Board Act, (Act 46 of 1980)’ under the Ministry of Irrigation (now Ministry of Water Resources, RD&GR).

The estimate for Phase-IV-Part-B from Sumoimari to Malual is under preparation as per recommendations of mathematical model study carried out by CWPRS.  Avulsion of Brahmaputra at Dhola-Hatighuli (Restoration of Dibang and Lohit Rivers) Avulsion of left bank of River Lohit occurred, at confluence of Lohit with Dibang - near Dhola- Hatighuli located in Dumdooma, Civil Sub-division of Tinsukia district - in the year 1989, due to breach in Saikhowa Bund. Gradual widening of the channel with time was threatening existence of more areas of Tinsukia and Dibrugarh Districts of Assam, situated all along the newly developed channel. Initially significant combined flow of Dibang and Lohit rivers started to flow through Ananta Nala to Dangari – a tributary of river Dibru. Since the year 2000 the Balu Nala became dominant and almost entire diverted flow of Lohit and Dibang Rivers started passing through Balu Nala. Gradual widening of the channel with time was threatening existence of more areas of Tinsukia and Dibrugarh Districts of Assam, situated all along the newly developed channel. The scheme “Avulsion of Brahmaputra at Dhola-Hatighuli (Measures for diversion of River Dibang to its original course) with ancillary anti-erosion measures” prepared by Government of Assam was approved by Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India in the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meeting held in May, 2002 and the Brahmaputra Board was entrusted with the responsibility for execution of the scheme. Total expenditure of Rs 77.48 crore has so far been incurred by Brahmaputra Board on execution of works envisaged under Phase-I, Phase-II, Phase-III and Phase-IV. With construction of ‘Tie-Bund’, the land earlier used to form part of main channel of Dibang River is now completely protected from floods and erosion. The inhabitants of deserted areas have returned back and restarted cultivation in a big way. 106 Annual Report : 2015-16

 Protection of Balat Village in Meghalaya on River Umngi. Part –I of scheme amounting Rs. 5.63 crore are taken up for implementation. Physical progress achieved is 83.14% and financial progress achieved up to March 2016 is Rs. 4.81crore. For taking up the balance work of the scheme (i.e. bank revetment), Brahmaputra Board requested MoWR, RD&GR for revision of Administrative Approval and Expenditure Sanction to Rs. 10.18 crore.  Anti-erosion works for protection of Mankachar, Kalair-alga international border area from erosion of river Brahmaputra, Assam- The Mankachar and Kalair Alga International Border area is located on the south bank of river Brahmaputra in South Salmara, Mankachar District on the westernmost border of Assam. The south bank of River Brahmaputra,is subjected to severe erosion at up-stream of Sishumara Border out Post (BOP) of Border Security Force (BSF) adjacent to Indo-Bangla border since 2004- 05. On the request of BSF, Assam Public Works Department (APWD) constructed 4 spurs with length of 385m, 245m, 110m and 100m between the Sishumara BOP and Kukradanga in a stretch of 2 km in 2006. Due to erosion in subsequent years, major portions of these spurs got eroded. APWD took up repair works of the damaged portions of the spurs in 2009-10. Also, CPWD had taken some measures for protecting the IBB Link Road. The MoWR, RD&GR entrusted Brahmaputra Board to take up protection measures in the area. Accordingly, Brahmaputra Board prepared DPR for protection of the area and the scheme had been Techno-economically cleared by CWC for an amount of Rs. 23.79 crore. The scheme was included for execution in the EFC for the ‘River basin Management’ scheme during XII Five Year Plan. Administrative Approval and Expenditure Sanction was received for Rs. 23.79 crore in July 11, 2014. Brahmaputra Board has initiated the execution of the work in 2015. In the meanwhile, the erosion of Brahmaputra washed away 470m length of the Indo Bangla Border (IBB) Link road in July 2015, thereby hampering activities of BSF in the area. This breach needs to be plugged and Board has taken up the work of construction of retirement bund for plugging the breach in 2016. 107 Annual Report : 2015-16
