    STUDY ON PLANNING OF WATER RESOURCES OF RAJASTHAN Executive Summary Project Background The State Water Policy of Government of Rajasthan, February 2010, provides for development of its Water resources in a well planned way. All new projects shall be planned based on micro watershed planning basis so as to ensure equity in use of surplus water. It is on this account that the Government of Rajasthan took up study to review and update all River Basin Master Plans for the integrated development and management of all its water resources. In this connection necessary provision of funds were made in EC funded State Partnership Program (SPP) under implementation in Rajasthan State. The earlier comprehensive study on water planning for different river basins in Rajasthan State was carried out by TAHAL-WAPCOS Consultants during year 1994-1998. This study was considered quite old and had much reduced relevance in today’s context. The present study therefore envisages to take-up review and fresh planning of all the water resources of Rajasthan based on updated water resources data and modern techniques now available in this field of study encompassing all necessary provisions made in the new water policy of the State Government. The purpose of this assignment is to prepare a long term plan and policy for development and management of the water resources of the State of Rajasthan, both surface (internal and external) and ground water, on comprehensive and integrated basis. The period of planning envisaged is 2010-2060. Scope of Work 1. Data Collection 2. Analysis of Agroclimatic Zone wise hydrology, temperature over a period of 20 years, find all changes in precipitation, no.

  • Dam Break Analysis of JAWAI Dam PALI, Rajasthan Using HEC-RAS
    IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) e-ISSN: 2278-1684,p-ISSN: 2320-334X, Volume 17, Issue 2 Ser. I (Mar - Apr 2020), PP 43-52 www.iosrjournals.org Dam Break Analysis of JAWAI Dam PALI, Rajasthan Using HEC-RAS Ankush kumar Gupta1, Ishu Narang2, Pooja Goyal3 (Assistant Professor, MBM Engineering College,Jodhpur) (Junior Engineer, PHED Rajasthan) (Assistant Engineer, Nagar Parishad, Bhilwara) Abstract: Due to old methods of construction dam was under designed and with use of poor materials of construction it is prone to collapse due to aging. Moreover the magnitude of peak floods to be used for the spillway design was based upon rough estimates which do not according to the modern estimates of extreme floods as suggested by experts of the International committee on large dams and the seismic potential was also under- estimated thus there are more chances for the dam to failure and such an accident will result in economic loss of states which mainly depends on river water. So keeping these points in mind an analysis of Jawai dam failure which is situated in Sumerpur town of Pali district Rajasthan and built in 1957 by Raja Umaid Singh has been done with the help of HEC-RAS to get the breach characteristics of dam and with the help of Arc-GIS and HEC-GeoRAS inundation mapping is made of downstream area of dam so that proper hazard prevention and mitigation measures can be taken at the time of such an accident and economic losses can be reduced.And results shown by HEC-RAS describe that for PMF 7267.34 m3/s, maximum stage will be 243.89 meter upto 7 km downstream and from there it reduces to 133.38 meter and it ahead it little varies .from the above results it is proved that flow area is different for different cross section, near the dam flow area is 101697 to approximately 12000 square meter and from 7 km downstream it suddenly reduces to 25929.12 to approximately 15000 square meter area.

  • Ecological Studies on Luni River Basin
    Nature Environment and Pollution Technology Vol. 6 No. 1 pp. 29-35 2007 © Technoscience Publications ECOLOGICAL STUDIES ON LUNI RIVER BASIN N. K. Bohra Arid Forest Research Institute, Jodhpur, Rajasthan ABSTRACT Since the prehistoric time the river banks are the centers for large settlements. The whole Indus valley civilization flourished on the bank of the Indus, the Ganges and their numerous tributaries. The tradition still continues, the most of the large cities are situated on river banks. Rivers provide water to sustain domestic supply and industrial consumption. It has been estimated that the quantity of water consumed is only 20% of the total water used. Rest 80% emerges with all the pollutants in it and termed as sewage or effluent as per the origin. The situation in arid zone of India, especially in western Rajasthan, is really grave where water scarcity is the normal phenomenon and people are dependent mainly on monsoon. The river catchment of Luni, a monsoon flowing river, is full of industrial drainage along with other wastes. The land of the catchment is losing its potentiality day by day and the monsoon water flowing through it carrying harmful waste is the main drinking water of several small villages. This water is the carrier of several diseases and thereby causing illness of the poor villagers. A review on industrial pollution in Luni river and efforts to combat this is presented in this paper as review. INTRODUCTION The people of arid and semi-arid zones live on the margins of scarcity. A crisis is not impending rather crises have been recurrent.

  • CHAPTER-1 PROJECT in BRIEF 1.1 BACK GROUND the Jawai
    Public Health Engineering Department Tender Document for Jawai Project Pkg-V and Cluster -III CHIEF ENGINEER, PROJECT, JODHPUR Including 10 Years O&M CHAPTER-1 PROJECT IN BRIEF 1.1 BACK GROUND The Jawai- Hemawas -Jodhpur Canal conveyance System was in use up to the year 1998 to meet drinking water needs of Jodhpur city, Pali town, five other towns of Pali district and 372 villages of Pali and Jodhpur District. This system was discontinued for Jodhpur city when RGLC water reached in Kaylana impounding reservoir of Jodhpur City in the month August 1998. The 228 villages & 6 towns of Pali district are covered through Jawai Canal System up to Rohat as source from the year 1999. The total average annual losses in open canal were of the tune of approx. 980 mcft as against net water demand of 1204 mcft in the year 2005-06. On an average, nearly 50% to 60% water quantity drawn from Jawai Dam was being lost due to seepage, pilferage and other reasons. Jawai Pipeline Project was framed with the objective to conserve water to enable additional coverage with the water so saved. The villages/towns of Pali district, which are facing acute potable water shortage due to existing ground water source having gone dry or deterioration in quality of water available, are proposed to be covered through this project. Total 333 no. additional villages and 3 no. additional towns of Pali district have been identified for coverage through this project. The A&F sanction of Jawai Pipeline Project was issued by 164th PPC meeting held on dated 25.6.2005 for Rs.
