This pipeline of contract commitments will ensure a continued increase in the disbursement rate of the Project in the coming year. Despite the increase in implementation pace, it is now clear that the accumulated delays in implementation since project effectiveness cannot be overcome within the existing Closing Date of the Project of March 31, 2013 and the Government of Tamil Nadu and DEA have formally requested an 18 month extension in the Closing Date to September 30, 2014. This request for is under consideration by Bank management. The the participating line departments are making continued good progress in the field. By and large, the agreed targets for interventions are on track, and the reported yield and performance increases are encouraging. Agreements were reached during the January 2012 mission concerning the program of training for strengthening the operation of the Water Users' Associations (WUAs) and Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM). It was agreed that training for field engineers consistent with a comprehensive approach to water management at the local level should be initiated by April 15, 2012. Initiation of these trainings has been delayed. This situation needs to be addressed promptly by the Government to ensure that the project implementation plan moves forward as planned.

  • The Chennai Water Crisis: Insufficient Rainwater Or Suboptimal Harnessing of Runoff?
    GENERAL ARTICLES The Chennai Water Crisis: Insufficient rainwater or suboptimal harnessing of runoff? Sumant Nigam*, Alfredo Ruiz-Barradas and Agniv Sengupta Chennai experienced acute water shortage during 2019 summer, and four years prior, an early- winter deluge. Analysis of 116 years (1901–2016) of rainfall in Chennai Sub-basin shows a weak climate change signal: Winter monsoon rainfall, has slightly increased, especially in December. The much larger Cauvery basin to the south also exhibits a nondescript climate change signal in winter rainfall. Late summer (September) rainfall in the Cauvery Basin has, however, precipitously declined in recent years (1987–2016). We show that this decline, as well as the mid-20th century increase, are attributable to natural multidecadal climate variability (Atlantic Multidecadal Oscil- lation) – cautioning against cavalier attributions of recent-period trends and the Chennai Water Crisis to climate change. Analysis of runoff – the rainwater leftover after its hydrologic and atmos- pheric processing – shows that harnessing even half of the winter monsoon runoff in the Chennai Sub-basin can satiate the city’s water demand for about seven months; and without needing new reservoir facilities. The present analysis suggests that Chennai’s water woes arise not from insufficient rainwater, but from the suboptimal harnessing of related runoff. Keywords: Climate change, monsoon rainfall, multidecadal variability, river basin, runoff. THE Coromandel Coast – long defined, geographically, as variations are similarly phased – the case, perhaps, in the coastal plains of southeastern Peninsular India backed 2019. by the Eastern Ghats to the west and the Bay of Bengal to Lately, Chennai has witnessed both floods and severe the east, and bounded by the Krishna and Cauvery river water scarcity.

Although the monsoons effect most part of India, the amount of rainfall varies from heavy to scanty on different parts. There is great regional and temporal variation in the distribution of rainfall. Over 80% of the annual rainfall is received in the four rainy months of June to September. The average annual rainfall is about 125 cm, but it has great spatial variations. This lead to excess rainfall in one region which results the flood and water shortage in other region which leads to the drought in other region. The interlinking project are envisaged with aim to transfer the water from the water surplus region the water deficit region.

This renewable resource has been indiscriminately exploited in some parts of the country by several users as it is easily available and reliable. Intensive and unregulated groundwater pumping in many areas has caused rapid and widespread groundwater decline. In India out of 6607 groundwater assessment units (Blocks/ mandals/taluks/firkas etc.), 1071 units are over-exploited and 914 units are critical. These units with groundwater development more than the 100% are categorized over exploited and more than 90% development as Critical. Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) has taken up largest Aquifer mapping endeavor in the world, targeting total mappable area of country 23.25 lakh sq.km with a vertical extent of 300m in soft rocks areas and 200m in hard rock areas.
