Dam height has been steadily increasing and reached 121.92 m in October 2006; the final and pending phase of installing radial gates will take the dam height to 138.68 m.

  • Drainage System
    CHAPTER DRAINAGE SYSTEM ou have observed water flowing through 2006) in this class . Can you, then, explain the the rivers, nalas and even channels reason for water flowing from one direction to Yduring rainy season which drain the the other? Why do the rivers originating from the excess water. Had these channels not been Himalayas in the northern India and the Western there, large-scale flooding would have Ghat in the southern India flow towards the east occurred. Wherever channels are ill-defined or and discharge their waters in the Bay of Bengal? choked, flooding is a common phenomenon. The flow of water through well-defined channels is known as ‘drainage’ and the network of such channels is called a ‘drainage system’. The drainage pattern of an area is the outcome of the geological time period, nature and structure of rocks, topography, slope, amount of water flowing and the periodicity of the flow. Do you have a river near your village or city? Have you ever been there for boating or bathing? Figure 3.1 : A River in the Mountainous Region Is it perennial (always with water) or ephemeral (water during rainy season, and dry, otherwise)? A river drains the water collected from a Do you know that rivers flow in the same specific area, which is called its ‘catchment area’. direction? You have studied about slopes in the An area drained by a river and its tributaries other two textbooks of geography (NCERT, is called a drainage basin. The boundary line Important Drainage Patterns (i) The drainage pattern resembling the branches of a tree is known as “dendritic” the examples of which are the rivers of northern plain.

  • Chapter - 9 Irrigation Planning and Command Area Development
    Chapter - 9 Irrigation Planning and Command Area Development 9.0 General The main objective of the Par-Tapi-Narmada Link project is to provide maximum irrigation facilities to Tribal areas enroute the link canal lying on its right side including drought prone Saurashtra region of Gujarat. The link project will cater the command areas of five projects namely Khuntali, Ugta, Sidhumber, Khata Amba, Zankhari, suggested by Government of Gujarat. Command in Tribal areas of Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal districts from Narmada Main canal on substitution basis, Tribal dominant districts of Dangs & Valsad of Gujarat State and Nasik district of Maharashtra State along with Drinking water of most of the villages in the vicinity and filling of most of Panchayat tanks will be served under Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal. The Par-Tapi-Narmada link takes off from the Paikhed barrage. The initial part of the link consists of a 12.70 km long tunnel connecting Jheri to Nar river upstream of Paikhed dam. The canal part of the link starts from Paikhed barrage which is located 4.60 km downstream of the Paikhed dam. The FSL of the canal at Paikhed barrage is 142.800 m. The link canal on its way to Ukai reservoir on Tapi river is fed by the storages envisaged at Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs through feeder pipelines. The link canal after irrigating the command en-route, outfalls into the Ukai reservoir at FSL105.275 m and takes off from the Ukai reservoir with FSL 81.790 m and finally outfalls into the Miyagam branch canal at RD16.70 km of the Narmada main canal system.
