The project would continue to finance structural improvements but would break with the prevailing build-neglect-rebuild approach by giving greater emphasis to establishing sustainable mechanisms for financing regular O&M and dam rehabilitation, enhancing State capabilities to manage these critical assets through institutional strengthening, and introducing risk-informed dam safety management. The project development objective (PDO) is to increase the safety of selected dams and to strengthen institutional capacity for dam safety in participating States. Project Components include: Component 1: Rehabilitation of Dams and Appurtenant Structures: This component supports improving the safety of dams through structural and non-structural interventions. Structural measures could include measures for seepage reduction (e.g., grouting, geomembranes), hydrological and structural safety measures (e.g., additional spillways, fuse plugs), enhancing the reliability of operational facilities (e.g., gates), rehabilitating foundation deficiencies, strengthening dam concrete/embankment structures, and improving basic dam facilities (e.g., access roads). Non-structural measures could include standardized dam safety instrumentation, monitoring, assessment and reporting protocols for dam health; flood forecasting and early warning systems; integrated reservoir operations including streamflow forecasting for climate resilient dam management; preparation and implementation of EAPs; preparation and implementation of sediment management plans; and revised operational rule curves to account for climate change. Component 2: Dam Safety Institutional Strengthening: This component supports further strengthening of dam safety management in the country through institutional modernization. A major focus of activities under this component will be increasing the oversight of dam safety by developing dam safety guidelines and by strengthening the capacity of various dam safety actors to carry out the regulatory functions defined in the proposed Dam Safety Bill, which has been passed by the LokSabha. Component 3: Incidental Revenue Generation for sustainable operation and maintenance of dams: This component supports identifying long-term funding needs for dam safety based on asset management and risk assessment financing for dam safety. This component would focus on: (i) improving the efficiency of public financing; (ii) generating alternative revenue streams Alternative revenue streams that could be developed include tourism and water recreational activities, fisheries, and other innovative schemes such as floating solar panels; and (iii) establishing financing arrangements for dam safety (e.g., dedicated budget lines). 1 Component 4: Project Management : This component will ensure effective implementation of project activities and monitoring and evaluating project implementation progress, outputs and outcomes. The component will support: (i) establishment of the Central Project Management Unit (CPMU), which will oversee and coordinate activities of the implementing agencies of the project, supported by a Engineering and Management Consultant (EMC), which is currently being procured; (ii) establishment and operations of State level Project Management Units (SPMUs) within State implementing agencies, which can hire experts in various fields as and when needed on a contractual basis; (iii) setting up of a monitoring and evaluation system; and (iv) establishment of a Quality Assurance and Quality Control system. This component will also finance consultancies, as well as related material, office equipment and incremental operating costs. The project will provide investment and technical support for the establishment of a Management Information System and Information and Communication Technology systems. 1.2 SUB-PROJECT DESCRIPTION – JAWAI DAM The construction of Jawai Dam Project across Jawai river, a tributary of Luniriver was completed in the year 1957. The dam is located near village Eranpura, Tehsil Sumerpur in Pali district of Rajasthan to provide the Irrigation cum drinking water facilities. The dam supplies drinking water to the tune of 54.89 MCM to 15.18 lakh population besides irrigation supplies to 46271 ha Gross Command Area (38671 ha CCA). One main canal with 21 distributaries and minors supply water to whole command area.Nearest Highway to Project is Jaipur Ahmedabad National Highway. The Project site is 13 km from Sumerpur town and 90 km from Pali city. Salient features of the project area as reported below: Project Jawai Dam Project River Jawai river, a tributary of Luni river Lat/Long 250 06' 40''/ 730 09' 40'' GCA 46271 ha CCA 38671 ha Annual water supply 54.89 MCM Catchment Area 787.36 sq km Main Dam Type Composite Dam Length 3956.10 m (1517.8 m masonry & 2438.3 m embankment) Top elevation 316.07 m Height of dam above lowest river 37.41 m bed level Lowest river bed level 278.66 m Spillway Type Ogee spillway Length 227.38 m Location of spillway Central spillway Crest level 308.45 m Number of bays 13 Discharge capacity at MWL 4247.45 cumec Size of spillway gate 15.23 m wide and 4.95 m high Reservoir Maximum water level 313.40 m Full Reservoir Level 313.40 m MDDL 294.74 m Live storage 193.48 MCM 2 Gross storage 207.48 MCM Reservoir spread
