Answer MINISTER OF THE STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF WATER RESOURCES & MINORITY AFFAIRS (SHRI VINCENT H. PALA) (a) & (b) Yes Madam. Copy of agreement of Bansagar Project is enclosed (Annexure-I). (c) & (d) Yes. If the annual flow in river is less or more than 14.25 million acre feet (M.A.F.), there will be pro-rata cut or increase. The proportion of cut or increase would be 5.25 : 2.75 : 1.25 for Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh respectively. (e) In terms of para 5 of Agreement of Bansagar Project, storage of 1.0 M.A.F. is provided for Bihar. The allocation of water from Sone river agreed to would be for Bihar 7.75 M.A.F. If the annual flow in the river is less or more than 14.25 M.A.F., there will be pro- rata cut or increase in the use of Sone waters by the three States in proportion to the allocation for the various States, after deducting requirements of old irrigation under the Sone Barrage, assessed at 5 M.A.F.

  • Integrating 1D-2D Hydrodynamic Model for Sabarmati Upper River Basin with Special Reference to Ahmedabad City Area

    1 INTEGRATING 1D-2D HYDRODYNAMIC MODEL FOR SABARMATI UPPER RIVER BASIN WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO AHMEDABAD CITY AREA. Sejal Chandel ˡ, Dr. Suvarna Shah² ˡ PG Student, Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Technology and Engineering , The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara, Gujarat, India ²Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Technology and Engineering ,The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara, Gujarat, India [email protected] [email protected] Abstract In recent study, Gujarat has become one of the India’s most urbanized state, causing severe flash flooding. The Sabarmati river is one of the major west-flowing rivers in India and biggest river of north Gujarat. Urbanization should meet the population’s need by enlargement of paved areas, which has unusually changed the catchment’s hydrological and hydraulic characteristic. Therefore, the frequency of flash flooding in Sabarmati river has been increased. The Sabarmati river basin experienced eight times devastating flooding condition between 1972 to 2020.Among which July 2017 flooding event breakdown a 112 years old record of 1905. The Dharoi dam and Wasna barrage on Sabarmati river and surrounding district Kheda, Mehsana, Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad received a huge rainfall caused anomalous inflow to tributary which forced the dam authorities to release huge discharge in short duration. The Sabarmati riverfront of Ahmedabad had been going under water for five days due incessant rainfall in the city that leads to swelling of the Sabarmati River in 2017. In order to determine extent of Inundation, Hydrodynamic Model HEC-RAS(5.0.6) with Arc GIS was used. Various scenarios were run to study the impact of simulation on flood inundation(with & without riverfront project).The simulated flood depths have been compared with actual depths obtained at gauging station, which were collected from Government authorities.

    How Do They Add to the Disaster Potential in Uttarakhand?

    South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers and People Uttarakhand: Existing, under construction and proposed Hydropower Projects: How do they add to the disaster potential in Uttarakhand? As Uttarakhand faced unprecedented flood disaster and as the issue of contribution of hydropower projects in this disaster was debated, one question for which there was no clear answer is, how many hydropower projects are there in various river basins of Uttarakhand? How many of them are operating hydropower projects, how many are under construction and how many more are planned? How projects are large (over 25 MW installed capacity), small (1-25 MW) and mini-mirco (less than 1 MW installed capacity) in various basins at various stages. This document tries to give a picture of the status of various hydropower projects in various sub basins in Uttarakhand, giving a break up of projects at various stages. River Basins in Uttarakhand Entire Uttarakhand is Uttarakhand has 98 operating hydropower part of larger Ganga basin. The Ganga River is a projects (all sizes) with combined capacity trans-boundary river of India and Bangladesh. The close to 3600 MW. However, out of this 2,525 km long river rises in the western Himalayas capacity, about 1800 MW is in central sector in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, and flows south and 503 MW in private sector, making it and east through the Gangetic Plain of North India into Bangladesh, where it empties into the Bay of uncertain how much power from these Bengal. The Ganga begins at the confluence of the projects the state will get.

    Flood Management Strategy for Ganga Basin Through Storage

    Flood Management Strategy for Ganga Basin through Storage by N. K. Mathur, N. N. Rai, P. N. Singh Central Water Commission Introduction The Ganga River basin covers the eleven States of India comprising Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, West Bengal, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi. The occurrence of floods in one part or the other in Ganga River basin is an annual feature during the monsoon period. About 24.2 million hectare flood prone area Present study has been carried out to understand the flood peak formation phenomenon in river Ganga and to estimate the flood storage requirements in the Ganga basin The annual flood peak data of river Ganga and its tributaries at different G&D sites of Central Water Commission has been utilised to identify the contribution of different rivers for flood peak formations in main stem of river Ganga.

E-mail: [email protected] bIndependent consultant, Canberra, Australia cNational University of Singapore, Singapore dDuke University, Durham, USA Public Disclosure Authorized eSkoll Global Threats Fund, San Francisco, USA fUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Manchester Business School, Manchester, UK Abstract This paper summarizes the results of the Ganges Strategic Basin Assessment (SBA), a 3-year, multi-disciplinary effort undertaken by a World Bank team in cooperation with several leading regional research institutions in South Asia. It begins to fill a crucial knowledge gap, providing an initial integrated systems perspective on the major water resources planning issues facing the Ganges basin today, including some of the most important infrastructure options that have been proposed for future development. The SBA developed a set of hydrological and economic models for the Ganges system, using modern data sources and modelling techniques to assess the impact of existing and potential new hydraulic structures on flooding, hydropower, low flows, water quality and irrigation supplies at the basin scale. It also involved repeated exchanges with policy makers and opinion makers in the basin, during which perceptions of the basin Public Disclosure Authorized could be discussed and examined. The study’s findings highlight the scale and complexity of the Ganges basin. In par- ticular, they refute the broadly held view that upstream water storage, such as reservoirs in Nepal, can fully control basin- wide flooding.
