  • Government of India Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No
    GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF JAL SHAKTI, DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES, RIVER DEVELOPMENT & GANGA REJUVENATION LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. †919 ANSWERED ON 27.06.2019 OLDER DAMS †919. SHRI HARISH DWIVEDI Will the Minister of JAL SHAKTI be pleased to state: (a) the number and names of dams older than ten years across the country, State-wise; (b) whether the Government has conducted any study regarding safety of dams; and (c) if so, the outcome thereof? ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI & SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EMPOWERMENT (SHRI RATTAN LAL KATARIA) (a) As per the data related to large dams maintained by Central Water Commission (CWC), there are 4968 large dams in the country which are older than 10 years. The State-wise list of such dams is enclosed as Annexure-I. (b) to (c) Safety of dams rests primarily with dam owners which are generally State Governments, Central and State power generating PSUs, municipalities and private companies etc. In order to supplement the efforts of the State Governments, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation (DoWR,RD&GR) provides technical and financial assistance through various schemes and programmes such as Dam Rehabilitation and Improvement Programme (DRIP). DRIP, a World Bank funded Project was started in April 2012 and is scheduled to be completed in June, 2020. The project has rehabilitation provision for 223 dams located in seven States, namely Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Tamil Nadu and Uttarakhand. The objectives of DRIP are : (i) Rehabilitation and Improvement of dams and associated appurtenances (ii) Dam Safety Institutional Strengthening (iii) Project Management Further, Government of India constituted a National Committee on Dam Safety (NCDS) in 1987 under the chairmanship of Chairman, CWC and representatives from State Governments with the objective to oversee dam safety activities in the country and suggest improvements to bring dam safety practices in line with the latest state-of-art consistent with Indian conditions.

  • Studies on Algal Diversity in Lower Manair Dam, Karimnagar, Telangana, India
    J. Algal Biomass Utln. 2017, 8(2): 11-15 Algal diversity in Lower Manair Dam eISSN: 2229 – 6905 Studies on algal diversity in Lower Manair Dam, Karimnagar, Telangana, India L. Srinivas, Y. Seeta* and P. Manikya Reddy Department of Botany, Osmania University, Hyderabad-500007, Telangana State, India. *Department of Environmental Science, Osmania University, Hyderabad-500007, Telangana State, India. Abstract Lakes are the important water resources and used for several purposes. The water quality of all fresh water environments is assessed by the physico-chemical and biological parameters. The present investigation is focused on the water quality and diversity of algae. In the present study, four groups of algae viz., Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae were identified. In the dam Bacillariophyceae was dominant among all other classes having maximum diversity followed by Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae and Euglenophyceae. The maximum growth of diatoms was recorded during winter, minimum values were attained during summer and rainy season.The dam water is extensively used for drinking and irrigational purposes. Key words: Physico-chemical parameters, Manair dam, Phytoplankton and Diversity Introduction In limnological studies, to determine the water quality in lake, pond, stream and river and to identify of algae that composed to primary productivity and to obtain this continuity are very important. Diversity of phytoplankton is an indication of purity and the use of community structure to assess pollution is conditioned by four assumptions: the natural community will evolve towards greater species complexity which eventually stabilizes; this process increases the functional complexity of the system; complex communities are more stable than simple communities, and pollution stress simplifies a complex community by eliminating the more sensitive species (Akbay et al., 1999).

  • Assessment of Waterlogging in Sriram Sagar Command Area
    CS(AR) 202 ASSESSMENT OF WATERLOGGING IN SRIRAM SAGAR COMMAND AREA \ e ana We Trans! NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HYDROLOGY JAL VIGYAN BHAWAN ROORKEE - 247 667 (U.P.) INDIA 1995-96 PREFACE India has very large and ambitious plans for the development of irrigation and, which are indeed very essential for diversifying agriculture as also for increasing and stabilizing crop production. It is expected that when the various irrigation projects are completed, irrigation will be practiced over, at least double the present area. This is what it should be if the country has to make economic progress quickly. But if the intelligent use of water is not pre-planned, the dreadful history may repeat itself with all its attendant havocs of seepage, rise in water table, widespread waterlogging and salinity. Irrigated agriculture instead of ensuring prosperity and economic stability may threaten the very security of the'land. Waterlogging throws a challenge to irrigated agriculture. The success depends how we take up that challenge and save our national heritage, the soil, from deterioration. Irrigation projects involving interbasin transfer of water without adequate drainage has disrupted the equilibrium between the ground water recharge and discharge resulting in accretions to the ground water table. After commissioning of the Sriram Sagar Irrigation Project in 1970, there was a general rise in grOund water table. The Sriram Sagar command area faces problems of waterlogging resulting from over irrigation & seepage losses through distributory system. This study is an attempt to assess the areas affected by waterlogging and areas sensitive to waterlogging in the Sriram Sager command area using Indian Remote Sensing Satellite data.
