  • River Ganga at a Glance: Identification of Issues and Priority Actions for Restoration Report Code: 001 GBP IIT GEN DAT 01 Ver 1 Dec 2010
    Report Code: 001_GBP_IIT_GEN_DAT_01_Ver 1_Dec 2010 River Ganga at a Glance: Identification of Issues and Priority Actions for Restoration Report Code: 001_GBP_IIT_GEN_DAT_01_Ver 1_Dec 2010 Preface In exercise of the powers conferred by sub‐sections (1) and (3) of Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986), the Central Government has constituted National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA) as a planning, financing, monitoring and coordinating authority for strengthening the collective efforts of the Central and State Government for effective abatement of pollution and conservation of the river Ganga. One of the important functions of the NGRBA is to prepare and implement a Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP). A Consortium of 7 Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) has been given the responsibility of preparing Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP) by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), GOI, New Delhi. Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) has been signed between 7 IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) and MoEF for this purpose on July 6, 2010. This report is one of the many reports prepared by IITs to describe the strategy, information, methodology, analysis and suggestions and recommendations in developing Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP). The overall Frame Work for documentation of GRB EMP and Indexing of Reports is presented on the inside cover page. There are two aspects to the development of GRB EMP. Dedicated people spent hours discussing concerns, issues and potential solutions to problems. This dedication leads to the preparation of reports that hope to articulate the outcome of the dialog in a way that is useful.

    SITUATION REPORT ‐ 2 North India Floods – 2010 (Uttarakhand, Haryana, Delhi, UP, Bihar) 21st Sept 2010, 1300h A. KEY HIGHLIGHTS: The flood situation on monday continued to remain grim in many parts of North India: Uttarakhand, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Uttrakhand: • Over 76 people dead and thousands homeless. • Major rivers continue to swell. • The Ganga in Haridwar flowing above the danger level and breached its embankment at Bishanpur Kundi village inundating areas like Luxor, Rayasi and Gangadaspur. • Almora, Chamauli, Uttarkashi and Nainital are worst hit districts • In Tehri, the reservoir level reached 831.05 meter and heavy discharge is being made from the hydel project. A high alert has been issued in low‐lying areas in Tehri. • The construction work of 400 MW Koteshwar dam has been stopped due to rise in the water level of Bhagirathi river. • Chief Minister Ramesh Pokhariyal Nishank made an aerial survey of flood and disaster‐affected areas in the state. Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, sanctioned an ex‐gratia amount of Rs. one lakh to the next of kin of each of the deceased and Rs. fifty thousand to those seriously injured in the floods from the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund. • In the wake of the worsening flood situation, the Railways have cancelled some trains bound for Dehradun and Haridwar while a few others were diverted or short terminated at various stations.The steps were taken after landslides were reported between Haridwar‐Motichur sections and breaches between Raisi‐Balawali on Moradabad Division, said a Northern Railway spokesperson. • NDRF have been deployed for recue operations.

  • Fp-15-Harish Bahuguna
    Stability of cut slopes on either abutment of Koteshwar dam, Uttarakhand Bahuguna, Harish Head, Environment and Geology Cell UJVNL, Dehradun, India Abstract The Koteshwar dam site located in Tehri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand and it is approximately 22 Km downstream of the famous Tehri dam. The project was commissioned in 2011 and presently it is generating 400MW of hydropower. Components of the project consists of a 97.50m high concrete gravity dam consisting of 14 blocks, a 575m long and 8m diameter diversion tunnel on the left bank having a design discharge of 670 Cumecs, four vertical penstock shafts, four lower horizontal penstocks, a surface powerhouse, a main access tunnel and a stilling basin at the toe of the dam. The project area lies within the Main Himalayan Belt (MHB), in the midlands of Lesser Himalaya which is bounded in the north by a regional tectonic discontinuity i.e. main Central Thrust (MCT) and in the south by another tectonic discontinuity i.e. Main Boundary Thrust (MBT). The project site is located in Zone IV of the Seismic Zoning Map of India wherein seismic shaking may result in damage reaching intensity rating of VIII on MM scale. The project area exposes an uninterrupted sequence of folded meta-sedimentary rocks of Chandpur phyllites (Pt 3 Proterozoic-III) which have variable proportions of argillaceous and arenaceous constituents. The change in the attitude of bedding on either bank clearly indicates an antiformal closure at the dam site. The physical and geo-mechanical properties the rock masses were determined by employing geophysical methods and performing geo-mechanical tests at the site and laboratory.
