S.) 2YCCE, Nagpur, India 3Research Scientist, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences, Sawangi, Wardha, India ABSTRACT Water, as essential as it is for the survival of mankind and livestock, freshwater in the world is limited in its supply. Due to rapid population growth, the demand of water for agriculture, industries, domestic use, power generation, etc., is ever increasing. Moreover, the Spatiotemporal distribution of the precipitation is quite uneven. Due to this uncertainty, the dependency on the storages pertaining to a single basin/sub basin may not assure the planned inflow every year. Some basins may have heavy rainfall/spill and others may have deficit. This flooding and draught have adverse socio-economic impact on developing country such as ours. Original Article Recognising this fact Govt. of Maharashtra tasked NWDA (National Water Development Agency) with studying the feasibility of 23 intra-state links proposals to divert the unutilized waters of west flowing rivers i.e Nar, Par, Damanganga, Vaitarna, Ulhas and Patalganga etc. This paper reviews the planning of Nar-Par-Girna interlinking project (DPR cost Rs. 6277.93 Cr. With B. C. ratio of 1.07, and IRR-8.98) in Nashik district of Maharashtra which is planned to stabilise the existing command (56650 Ha) of draught prone areas of Nashik (39626 Ha) and Jalgaon (17024 Ha) district. KEYWORDS: Interlinking, Lifting, Diversion, Conveyance, Water availability & Command Area Received: Jun 05, 2020; Accepted: Jun 25, 2020; Published: Aug 11, 2020; Paper Id.: IJMPERDJUN2020738 INTRODUCTION The project involves transfer of 304.60Mm3 of water (Drinking- 41.61Mm3, Industrial -50.04 Mm3, Irrigation – 185.69Mm3, Evaporation- 27.26 Mm3) and local use for 6600 Ha. from total 9 No. of Pump house sites with high capacity Submersible pumps situated on periphery of 9 dams (Nar basin-5 dams, Par Basin- 2 dams, Auranga Basin- 2 dams). Three links are formed each with 3 dams. Water pumped from each link is delivered via series of M. S. Rising Main to an intermediate pumping station (Salbhoya Sump), from there the water is again lifted to head of a tunnel on higher elevation. This tunnel opens up above F. R. L of Chankapur dam (Dam on Girna river, Nashik Dist.). Chankapur Dam acts a balancing storage for the inflow from the lifting sites at Nar-Par-Auranga basins. Chankapur onwards, there is existing distribution network of canal in Nashik district up to some extent, the existing network (19396 Ha) is proposed to be stabilized from this project by discharging the requirement in the canal system and a virgin command of 20230 Ha. is to be irrigated through PDN network. Demand of Jalgaon District (Existing command under Girna dam- 17024 Ha.) is proposed to be stabilized by discharging the deficit www.tjprc.org SCOPUS Indexed Journal [email protected] 7762 Hrishikesh R. Kane, K. S. Ansari & Aniket Pathade requirement in to the Girna reservoir via gravity main. OBJECTIVES To study the techniques and methodology used in planning and optimization of Nar-Par Girna Link project scheme. METHODS The pre- feasibility report based on toposheet study of the Nar-Par scheme envisaged on creation of 13 storages and 13 pump houses to lift and convey the water through rising mains and 2 major tunnels, with a concept of making the 3 links to operate independently. However, detailed studies of Hydrology, Flood study, Water planning, Topographical survey, Geological survey, Construction Material survey, Identification of storage sites, Foundation exploration, Demography and climatic conditions facilitated the optimum planning and design of the various components of scheme. Topic/ component which played crucial role in Planning and designing wise details are as follows. Hydrology and Water Planning Monthly yields of catchments of each storage are worked out by the RR equations. These monthly yields are used in the Reservoir simulation studies (1991-2017, 26years). The scheme lifts most of its share during the monsoon season. Ample storage is available in the Girna reservoir, thus the demand for Jalgaon district is proposed to be lifted in the monsoon season only. Simulation studies plays an important role in maximizing the potential of the infrastructure provided i.e. synchronization of the pumping, using dams as balancing storages.

R. L. Reduced, 3 Dams Discarded) The lifting schedule of the scheme is tabulated below (Table 2). It shows the yearly demand of Jalgaon is being lifted in Monsoon period, and Demand for Nashik district is lifted throughout the year. Lifting during monsoon from run of the river reduced the total quantum of storage that needed to be stored in the Nar-Par scheme, which in turn reduced the numbers of dams from 13 to 9 No. Table 1: Yield statements of Dams at Nar Par Sr. Catchment Area 75% Monsoon Yield P.

The flood has been calculated from SUHG and is based upon Flood depths given by CWC. Routed flood is calculated by superimposing the floods occurring simultaneously on the reservoirs on same streams by lagging them by the time taken by upstream spilled discharge to reach the dam on downstream. The routed flood is used to design the overflow sections of Dam.

It is variable in quality and availability, and fluctuates from season to season and from year to year. Its availability is largely dictated by climate. India is blessed with abundant water resources, which are unevenly distributed in space and time. When one part of the country is reeling under severe water scarcity whereas, floods damage in another part. This creates economic losses as some parts of the country do not have enough water even for raising a single crop and in other parts excess rainfall plays havoc due to floods. Moreover demand for water is ever increasing with the increase in population and water is likely to become one of the limiting resources as well as one with multiple uses. The Girna river originates at Kem Peak in the Western Ghats range of Nashik District, and flows east across Nashik District and is joined by the Mausam River and then east into Jalgaon District where it then swings north to join the Tapti River.

  • River Linking Project –Jalgaon,Maharashtra
    1 RIVER LINKING PROJECT – JALGAON, MAHARASHTRA DOCUMENTATION OF BEST PRACTICE FEBRUARY 2011 Researched and Documented By: OneWorld Foundation India 2 Executive Summary River connectivity is seen as a possible way to equally distribute of water across a geographical region. Conceptually, inter-linking water ways is appreciated by policy practitioners to resolve water problems but the practical ecological concerns usually delay the implementation. Along these lines, India’s National River Linking Project that aims to connect the rivers in the Ganges basin to rivers in western and southern India has been an issue of debate. The displacement of people due to land acquisition is also a cause for concern. Nevertheless, the nationally acclaimed river linking project in Jalgaon has overcome these challenges by exploiting regional strengths in geography and existing infrastructure. This best practice documentation intends to provide insights into the design and achievements of the River Linking Project that has been successful in making adequate water available for irrigation and human consumption throughout the district. Jalgaon, due to its location, receives inadequate rainfall during monsoon season. Inefficient storage facilities also means that reservoirs, canals, and ground water supply are always below the minimum storage level. In 2005, when the district witnessed an almost drought like situation, the local administration felt the need to look for a long term solution. Given that there was already a network of canals and reservoirs to channel the water, interlinking of waterways seemed to be an appropriate solution. Planning looked to restore the capacity of the existing infrastructure and allow for excess water from nearby dams to irrigate water scarce areas.
