Durgapur Barrage 8 DVC’s contribution to Industrial Growth 9 Background • The Damodar region, was predominantly covered with forests interspaced with scattered rural settlements. • The forests were gradually cleared to facilitate mining of coal which began since the middle of the 13th century. • Availability of coal, opening of railways and location near Calcutta Port created conditions for setting up heavy metallurgical industry in this region in subsequent years. • Industrial urbanization began with the completion of Damodar Valley Multipurpose River Valley Project in the 1950s and Government policy adopted during the Five Year Plans. • This was followed by engineering, paper, chemical, aluminum, pharmaceuticals etc. being clustered in between National Highway (NH2) and the railway line. • The predominantly rural economy of the region has been replaced by a industrial unban economic system creating both direct and indirect employment. 10 Originates from the Chota Nagpur Plateau in Jharkhand Tilaiya Dam DVC plants & Other Industry Rainfall Konar Dam Maithon Dam Domestic & Municipal Panchet Dam Use Mine Drainage Agriculture River Damodar is 592 kms long Flows into the River Hooghly in West Bengal Waters of the River Damodar 11 States/Industries that consume DVC POWER Supply to 8 Indian States Steel 1.

Keywords: 4IN/baseline information/conservation/landscape/Panthera tigris/population size/range/status/tiger Abstract: Today, confined to less than 7% of their original range, tigers are going through one of the worst crises in their evolutionary history. The Indian subcontinent, which contains most of the world's wild tigers, represents only 11% of the world's tiger habitat. We estimate that there may be less than 1,600 tigers in the whole of the Indian subcontinent and the realistic maximum number of tigers that could be supported with its current habitat would be around 3,700. Tiger conservation in the Indian subcontinent faces a range of serious and complex threats, but we believe that most of these issues are still possible to address; India showed that this was possible in the 1970s when the survival of the tiger in the country also looked bleak. Here, we summarize some of the most important issues and suggest some means by which these may be addressed to secure the future of this majestic big cat.

  • CHALLENGES in EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT in DAMODAR RIVER VALLEY - ROLE of DVC 1 2 Dipankar Chaudhuri ; Satyabrata Banerjee
    CHALLENGES IN EFFICIENT WATER MANAGEMENT IN DAMODAR RIVER VALLEY - ROLE OF DVC 1 2 Dipankar Chaudhuri ; Satyabrata Banerjee Abstract The Damodar River Valley has an extensive history of developmental and planning activities since 1863. DVC was formed in the year 1948 by the act of Parliament to carry out the responsibilities for monitoring and developing this large watershed in an integrated manner. It is well aware that all the projects, planned originally could not be implemented till date by the DVC and the participatory states. Again, silt depositions in the existing reservoirs and channels due to erosions at the upper valley have reduced their respective storage and flowing capacities remarkably. On the other hand, demand of water has been increased many folds within the valley due to growth of industries, population etc. With passing of time, socio- economic and political condition of the valley has also changed a lot. So, considering the different constraints, DVC is trying to manage all its statutory obligations with its limitations. Performances of the operations in the different fields of activities like flood moderation, irrigation, municipal and irrigation water supply, Hydropower etc. have been studied elaborately in this article. Lots of new commendable initiatives to restore the lost-capacities and to increase the storage facilities have also been discussed. A Master Plan of the ecofriendly sustainable developmental activities of the valley in the different projected scenarios has already been prepared by DVC which has also been described in brief. Some scopes have been identified to take up a few new small Hydro schemes at different locations in the upper valley.

  • Damodar : a River Valley of Sorrow in Jharkhand State of India The
    Damodar : A River Valley of Sorrow in Jharkhand state of India The Damodar is an inter-state river in the state of Jharkhand in India. In general rivers are feminine but Damodar is an exception. Like other two rivers -The Sonebhadra and The Brahmaputra Damodar is also categorised as a Masculine River. It emerges from the roots of an old tree, know as Pakar tree in local dialect, of extremists infested Boda Hills at "Kuru" Block of "Lohardaga " District in Jharkhand and merges into River "Bhagirathi " after traversing a total length of 541 Kms of which 258 Kms lies in the Jharkhand and the rest in West Bengal province. The total catchments area of the Damodar river system is 22,528 Sq Kms of which 16,934 Sq Kms (76 percent) is in the state of Jharkhand. The average yield of the Damodar River basin is 12.20 and its total surface flow in Jharkhand is estimated to be 5.80 Lham at 75 percent dependability as reported by the Irrigation Commission, Govt. of India 1972. Tributaries :- Its important tributaries are Barakar, Konar Bokaro and Gowai. The "barakar river " is its main tributary running almost parallel to it and joins it at 258 Kms near panchet at the border of Jharkhand and west Bengal where as its another left bank tributary "river Konar " merges into it at 180 kms from its origin near Bermo in Bokaro district of Jharkhand. The Bokaro and Konar rivers rise very near to each other on the Hazaribagh plateau and the two together meet meet before they finally outfall into Damodar at above 5 Kms further downstream.
