Integrated operation of the Beas-Sutlej system P S RAO* and S RAMASESHANt *Indian Institute of Management, Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore 560076, India )'Civil Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur 208 016, India Abstract. The study deals with the integrated operation of the Beas and Sutlej link, a complex system. It utilizes the methodology developed in an earlier paper for reservoir operation. The results show the definite advantages of conjunctive use and carry over storage. The results also show that it is advantageous to divert as much water from the Beas to the Sutlej as possible. Keywords. Integrated reservoir operation; conjunctive use. 1. Introduction To study the conventional operation of a reservoir system in a multiobjective framework in order to evaluate the trade-offs between irrigation and power implied by past decisions, a case study of the Bhakra reservoir was undertaken. This study demonstrates the methodology and procedures of multi-objective analysis in an integrated framework. 2. System description 2.1 The Beas-Sutlej system The Beas river originates in the lower ranges of the Shiwaliks. The catchment area of the river upstream of Pong, where a storage dam has just been completed is 12,561 km 2. The average rainfall in the catchment is 1,778 mm. For a mean year the discharge at the Mahdi plain varies from 152cumecs in the dry season to 1,830cumecs during the monsoon, with an annual average run-off of 16,763 m cum. For a dependable year, the run-off is 12,835 mcum. The Beas joins the Sutlej river at Harike. The Beas project was undertaken to harness the water and power resources of the Beas river by storage and diversion works. It consists of (i) the Beas-Sutlej link, which comprises a diversion dam at Pandoh across the Beas in the Kulu Valley to transfer 4727 m cu m of water to the Bhakra reservoir through tunnels and open conduits capable of passing a maximum discharge of 255 cumecs; and (ii) the Pong dam which provides for a storage dam at Pong with a maximum height of 132-6 m, a gross storage of 8141 m cu m. and a live storage eapadty of 6,767 m cum. The power plant will have 4 units with an installed capacity of 60 MW each with provision for two additional units in the future. The water released from the Pong dam and utilized for generation of power will be used for irrigation through the canal system from the Harike headworks. Water from the Ravi is transferred by a diversion at the Madhopur headworks through the Madhopur-Beas link (maximum capacity: 283 cumecs) to the Beas river. This can be 207 208 P S Rao and S Ramaseshan diverted at Harike to irrigate the Be,as command. The Bhakra component of this system has been described in Rao & Ramaseshan (1985)and the interconnected system of the Beas, the Sutlej and the Ravi is shown in figure 1 of that paper. The inflows of the three rivers for a dependable year are summarized in table 1 and those for a mean year are shown in figure 1. 2.2 Irrigation and power demands A salient feature of the irrigation system is that the releases from the Bhakra reservoir can supply the Sutlej and Beas canal command areas and the releases from the Pong reservoir can be used only in the Beas canal command areas. Gross irrigation requirements for the Sutlej and Beas canals adopted by the Beas Designs Organization (aDo) are given in table 2. A comparison of the irrigation requirements of the Sutlej canal command with those of table 1, Rao & Ramaseshan (1985) reveals that there has been a slight upward revision of the requirements perhaps due to the increased crop water requirements of the high-yielding varieties. Constant firm power throughout the year for the Bhakra system was assumed by Minhas et al (1972). Table 3 indicates that planned levels of power generation vary widely between 766 MW from December through April to 1,697 MW in September. It seems that considerable secondary power is generated during the filling season when irrigation requirements are met fully by surface water at a reservoir factor (RF) of 1. From the available data, three types of firm power distribution over the years are abstracted and used in this study. They are shown in figure 2. The firm power level from December to April is denoted by P, and fl~ is the ratio of the firm power level in any RAVI BEAS SUTLEJ Inflow U/S Madhopur I pre partibon From B S ~--~ utilization ~ ( ~ ~ Link ' ' l -do- add,tional :23318203 ] [ ._.~ 3~ Reservoir uti~,zat,on ~:,- I I ~ D,~erfed to I lOSSeS U B DC ore par- [ }--~4716 ] Bhakra Lake AI tition utilizatton I I ' ' _ _ B ~_ Bh=,ra[21( through b L Dam 10--7~ - do-addltionalutihzatx~~At t~ ~ (212m3/sec ) ._i~3 5---~-] Releases for Available for power transfer thr ough~ ~ Releases for M 8 Link Rupar canals Actual transfer- r~ Releases for able ca,bacity Gain Hartk£ of M, B.

  • Negotiating the Indus Waters Treaty: an Historical Assessment
    Journal of the Research Society of Pakistan Volume No. 57, Issue No. 1 (January – June, 2020) Muhammad Nawaz Bhatti* Farzad Ahmad ** Asia Saif Alvi *** Muhammad Kashif Ali **** Nabila Akhtar ***** Negotiating the Indus Waters Treaty: An Historical Assessment Abstract International watercourses are the only supplementary sources of water for the many states having arid or semi-arid climatic conditions that could economically be developed to bridge the rapidly increasing gap between demand and supply. In absence of any international law to deal with uses of international watercourses other than navigational purposes, agreements among co-riparian states are very important for the development of an entire basin. Although the U. N. Convention on the Uses of International Rivers for non-navigational purposes was adopted by the U. N. General Assembly in 1997 and after the rectification of 35 Member States, it has been functioning since 2014, but the importance of the negotiation processes that resulted in numerous successful agreements on water resource management can never be denied. This document provides an historical analysis of the negotiating process which culminated into the Indus Waters Treaty. Keywords: Partition of India, Pakistan, India, Water dispute, Negotiations, Indus waters Treaty Introduction In arid and semi-arid climatic regions, water is considered one of the most important factors of development. The availability of sufficient water in those areas in terms of quantity and quality, suitable for all purposes, has already become a serious issue. All tendencies show that difficulties emerging due to this critical issue would increase significantly in coming years. Starting in the 1990s and beyond, the management and development of international watercourses would become an increasingly critical problem.

When we hear the word 'dolphin', what comes to mind is the endearing, intelligent bottlenose dolphin shown in movies and television shows. Though we often make the mistake of believing that there is only one kind of dolphin, there exist over 30 different types of dolphins, and including the river dolphins and porpoises, there are over 40 types of dolphins. To be precise, there are 32 types of oceanic dolphins, 5 species of river dolphins and 6 types of porpoises. Dolphins are important to the ecosystem in the sense that they are apex or top-level predators which control populations of fishes and squids and keep the ecosystem balance. They are the migratory species susceptible to a wide range of threats, including habitat shrinkage in breeding areas, excessive hunting along migration routes, and degradation of their feeding grounds. As a result of international concern over these threats, a UN Convention on the Conservation of Migratory (CMS) Species of Wild Animals, also known as Bonn Convention was adopted in 1979 and entered into force on 1st November 1983, to protect dolphins along their migration routes between their feeding and breeding grounds. Bonn Convention is a unique global advocate of reducing threats to their survival as well as to the ocean and river waters where they live.
