  • 6. Water Quality ------61 6.1 Surface Water Quality Observations ------61 6.2 Ground Water Quality Observations ------62 7
    Version 2.0 Krishna Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by human interventions.

  • Chapter 5 Water Resources and Hydrology
    Chapter 5 Water Resources and Hydrology 5.1 General Planning for water resources development in a basin requires careful assessment of the available water resources and reasonable needs of the basin in foreseeable future for various purposes such as drinking, irrigation, hydro-power, industries, navigation etc. Hydrological studies are carried out to assess the available quantity of water in a given basin. This chapter deals with the assessment of water balance in the Krishna basin upto the Nagarjunasagar dam site, in the basins lying enroute the link alignment, in the Pennar basin upto the Somasila dam site and simulation study of Nagarjunasagar reservoir. 5.2 Hydrological analysis NWDA has prepared water balance study reports at Nagarjunasagar dam site on river Krishna, Somasila dam site on river Pennar and of the basins lying enroute the link alignment. The methodology adopted by NWDA for computing the water balance of a sub-basin is discussed in the following paragraphs: 5.2.1 Surface water availability Observed flow data at the terminal G&D site and the rainfall observed at various raingauge stations in and around the catchment of a sub-basin are collected. To the observed flows, year-wise upstream utilisations are added to get virgin yields. Weighted rainfall for the catchment upto the G&D site and for the whole sub-basin is worked out. Using these virgin flows and weighted rainfall upto the G&D site, a rainfall - runoff relationship (linear/non-linear) is developed by statistical methods. Using the best fit equation and weighted rainfall for the entire sub-basin, monsoon yields are computed.
