(viii) Hydrological Studies: Hydrological studies form the backbone of a water resources project. The success of a project is largely governed by the hydrological inputs. The inputs at Detailed Project Report (DPR) or Pre- Feasibility (PFR) stage are made available Seminar on “Waste Water – Monitoring and in the form of: Management” on World Water Day 22nd (i) Water availability/Yield Studies. March 2017 at New Delhi (ii) Design flood estimation. (iii) Sedimentation studies. MoWR has established six Chairs (iv) Diversion flood studies. in Academic institutes - IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Guwahati, IIT Roorkee, In addition to above, special NIT Patna and NIT Srinagar with the studies in respect of review of flood objective of carrying out studies and hydrology for existing projects as per dam research on “Impact of climate change on safety guidelines is also carried out. Water Resources”. Management Committees have been constituted under The country has been divided into the Chairmanship of Chairman, CWC for 7 zones and further into 26 hydro- each of the Institute separately which has meteorologically homogeneous sub-zones to meet once in a year. and flood estimation models are developed for each subzone to compute the design Monitoring of Glacial lakes/Water flood in un-gauged catchments. So far, bodies in the Himalayan Region of Indian flood estimation reports covering 24 sub- river basin has been carried out on zones have been published. The periodic monthly basis from June to October. The revisions/updating of earlier reports are main objective of the study is to monitor carried out whenever additional data are the changes in the spatial extent of the received.

Srilanka and African countries by way of Design precipitation (PMP/SPS) design consultancy or in the technical estimates are basic inputs in computing appraisal of the projects. Four design units design flood magnitudes. Estimation of are functioning to cater to specific design storm depths has been found to be a requirements and to attend to special major bottleneck in design flood studies design related problems of different since necessary data and expertise is regions. These units have specialized available with only a few organizations directorates for Hydel Civil Design, like IMD and CWC. In order to overcome Concrete & Masonry Dam Design, this, CWC has published generalized PMP Embankment Design, Gates Design and Atlases covering almost entire country, Barrage & Canal Design. which gives a first-hand estimate of design storm depths. At present CWC is providing design consultancy to 54 projects. Out of During the year 2016-17 (up to this, 24 projects (including 4 from North December, 2016), Technical examination Eastern region and 3 from neighbouring of hydrological aspects of DPRs in respect countries) are at construction stage; 10 of 117 projects have been carried out in projects (including 2 from North Eastern CWC. Out of this, 65 projects have been region and 2 from neighbouring countries) cleared. The observations in respect of are at DPR stage and 20 projects remaining projects were communicated to (including 02 from North Eastern region the concerned project authority. and 2 from neighbouring countries)involve special problems. CWC also provides support in the field of Hydrology related to capacity In addition to above, technical building and training, modernization, BIS examinations of DPRs of 73 nos. of standardization, development of computer Hydro-electric/ Irrigation/ Flood software as well as technical coordination Management/ Multi Purpose Projects were with National and International also carried out during the year (till Dec organizations. 2016). These include 5 projects from neighbouring countries, namely, Nepal (4) and Bhutan (1). Out of these, DPRs of 30 nos. of projects have been cleared. Remaining 43 nos. of projects are at various level of appraisal.

(i) Aquifer Mapping: Aquifer Mapping is a multidisciplinary scientific process wherein a combination of geologic, geophysical, hydro geological, hydrological and water quality data are integrated to characterize the quantity, quality and distribution of ground water in aquifers. Aquifer mapping at the appropriate scale has to be devised and sustainable management plan to be prepared and implemented for this common pool resource. This will help achieving drinking water security, Uttamsara OW, Tal. Bhatukli, Amravati improved irrigational facility sustainability District in ground water resources development in large part of rural India and many parts of (ii) Data generation for Aquifer urban India. Aquifer mapping has been Mapping: taken up in priority areas on 1:50,000 scale Various Data Generation activities during XII Plan period ( 2012-17) viz. exploratory drilling, geophysical surveys, chemical quality studies and other Out of 23 lakh sq.km map-able hydro geological surveys are taken up area of the Country, CGWB has initiated during the year 2016-17 for value addition
