The project would continue to finance structural improvements but would break with the prevailing build-neglect-rebuild approach by giving greater emphasis to establishing sustainable mechanisms for financing regular O&M and dam rehabilitation, enhancing State capabilities to manage these critical assets through institutional strengthening, and introducing risk-informed dam safety management. The project development objective (PDO) is to increase the safety of selected dams and to strengthen institutional capacity for dam safety in participating States. Project Components include: Component 1: Rehabilitation of Dams and Appurtenant Structures: This component supports improving the safety of dams through structural and non-structural interventions. Structural measures could include measures for seepage reduction (e.g., grouting, geomembranes), hydrological and structural safety measures (e.g., additional spillways, fuse plugs), enhancing the reliability of operational facilities (e.g., gates), rehabilitating foundation deficiencies, strengthening dam concrete/embankment structures, and improving basic dam facilities (e.g., access roads). Non-structural measures could include standardized dam safety instrumentation, monitoring, assessment and reporting protocols for dam health; flood forecasting and early warning systems; integrated reservoir operations including streamflow forecasting for climate resilient dam management; preparation and implementation of EAPs; preparation and implementation of sediment management plans; and revised operational rule curves to account for climate change. Component 2: Dam Safety Institutional Strengthening: This component supports further strengthening of dam safety management in the country through institutional modernization. A major focus of activities under this component will be increasing the oversight of dam safety by developing dam safety guidelines and by strengthening the capacity of various dam safety actors to carry out the regulatory functions defined in the proposed Dam Safety Bill, which has been passed by the LokSabha. Component 3: Incidental Revenue Generation for sustainable operation and maintenance of dams: This component supports identifying long-term funding needs for dam safety based on asset management and risk assessment financing for dam safety. This component would focus on: (i) improving the efficiency of public financing; (ii) generating alternative revenue streams Alternative revenue streams that could be developed include tourism and water recreational activities, fisheries, and other innovative schemes such as floating solar panels; and (iii) establishing financing arrangements for dam safety (e.g., dedicated budget lines). Component 4: Project Management : This component will ensure effective implementation of project activities and monitoring and evaluating project implementation progress, 1 outputs and outcomes. The component will support: (i) establishment of the Central Project Management Unit (CPMU), which will oversee and coordinate activities of the implementing agencies of the project, supported by a Engineering and Management Consultant (EMC), which is currently being procured; (ii) establishment and operations of State level Project Management Units (SPMUs) within State implementing agencies, which can hire experts in various fields as and when needed on a contractual basis; (iii) setting up of a monitoring and evaluation system; and (iv) establishment of a Quality Assurance and Quality Control system. This component will also finance consultancies, as well as related material, office equipment and incremental operating costs. The project will provide investment and technical support for the establishment of a Management Information System and Information and Communication Technology systems. 1.2 SUB-PROJECT DESCRIPTION – BISALPUR DAM The Bisalpur Dam across Banas river, a tributary of Chambal riverwas constructed in the year 1999 to create irrigation and drinking water supply capacity.

    STUDY ON PLANNING OF WATER RESOURCES OF RAJASTHAN Executive Summary Project Background The State Water Policy of Government of Rajasthan, February 2010, provides for development of its Water resources in a well planned way. All new projects shall be planned based on micro watershed planning basis so as to ensure equity in use of surplus water. It is on this account that the Government of Rajasthan took up study to review and update all River Basin Master Plans for the integrated development and management of all its water resources. In this connection necessary provision of funds were made in EC funded State Partnership Program (SPP) under implementation in Rajasthan State. The earlier comprehensive study on water planning for different river basins in Rajasthan State was carried out by TAHAL-WAPCOS Consultants during year 1994-1998. This study was considered quite old and had much reduced relevance in today’s context. The present study therefore envisages to take-up review and fresh planning of all the water resources of Rajasthan based on updated water resources data and modern techniques now available in this field of study encompassing all necessary provisions made in the new water policy of the State Government. The purpose of this assignment is to prepare a long term plan and policy for development and management of the water resources of the State of Rajasthan, both surface (internal and external) and ground water, on comprehensive and integrated basis. The period of planning envisaged is 2010-2060. Scope of Work 1. Data Collection 2. Analysis of Agroclimatic Zone wise hydrology, temperature over a period of 20 years, find all changes in precipitation, no.

  • Water Scarcity in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India Jal Bhagirathi Foundation Kathleen Roberts, Michael Reiner, and Kimberly Gray
    Water Scarcity in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India Jal Bhagirathi Foundation Kathleen Roberts, Michael Reiner, and Kimberly Gray NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Research in Jaipur in Summer 2013 | Document completed in Fall 2013 Executive Summary Jaipur, the capital and largest city of the state of Rajasthan, India, is currently experiencing severe water scarcity that threatens drinking water sources. While Jaipur receives only an average of 600 millimeters of precipitation per year, mostly in the monsoon months of June-September, we believe that management issues exacerbate Jaipur’s water scarcity issues. Problems such as poor water quality, a lack of adequate infrastructure (for example in sewage systems, water piping, drainage systems, and water metering), rapid population and area growth, and a lack of unified government are just a few of the issues that play important roles in the complex interactions surrounding Jaipur’s current water scarcity condition. Two engineering students from Northwestern University, Kathleen Roberts and Michael Reiner, traveled to Jaipur in the summer of 2013 to study the water and sanitation system. The conditions of Jaipur’s water resources were investigated by touring various critical sites, conducting literature searches regarding water resources in Jaipur at sites such as Rajasthan University and the Institute for Development Studies, and meeting with professionals in the field of water issues in Jaipur. We were assisted in this assessment by our colleagues at the Jal Bhagirathi Foundation, an organization based in Jaipur and Jodhpur, which “strives to provide an enabling environment in which communities can access adequate drinking water with a vision of water security leading to sustainable development through responsive governance and inclusive growth.” This document looks at the history of Jaipur, specifically focusing on the links between its history, growth, and its water supply system.

Due to these pollutants ground water quality adversely effected (Pondhe et al. 1992 and yadav et al. 2009). The increasing dependence on ground water as a reliable source of water has resulted in indiscriminate extraction in various parts of the country without due regard to the recharging capacities of aquifers and other environmental faetors. On the other hand, there are various areas in the country, where ground water development is sub-optimal in spite of the availability of sufficient resources and canal command areas suffering from water logging and soil salinity due to the gradual rise in ground water levels. The Bislpur dam is used to provide irrigation facilities and increase ground water level. at the Tonk district. The present paper focuses on the ground water scenario laying special emphasis on the problems relating to ground water of the Tonk district. Keywords: Hyodrogeological Conditions Geogenic and Anthropogenic Activities Ground Water Potential Introduction Ground water is an essential vital component of our life. The groundwater resource are being utilized for many purposes.

Water is the source of all life. Water being essential for human life has become one of the greatest challenges of 21st century, so it is necessary for realistic assessment of available water and utilizes it in most efficient and economical way. Rajasthan is the largest state of the India, occupying an area of 3.42 lakh square Km with more than 10.4 percent geographical area of the country, occupying 5.5% population of the country. The state has extreme climatic and geographical conditions, 2/3rd part of the state is a part of the great Thar desert. Out of the total 142 desert blocks in the country, 85 blocks are in the state. The available water is not enough to cater to the needs of the drinking, agriculture and non- agriculture demands. Thus the state is facing water scarcity and less availability of portable water. Water is a critical resource in this area. It has only 1.15 % water resources of India while supporting 5.60% of human population and 10.50% of cattle population of the country. On the other hand the phenomenal population growth and industrial growth raised needs to lead more and more demand of water.
