Tidal Impact Leading to Sedimentation at Lower Reach of Rupnarayan River, West Bengal, India Indian Journal of Geo-Marine Sciences Vol. 45 (10), October 2016, pp. 1349-1356 Tidal impact leading to sedimentation at lower reach of Rupnarayan River, West Bengal, India 1Swapan Kumar Maity & 2Ramkrishna Maiti 1Department of Geography, Haldia Govt. College, West Bengal, India 2Department of Geography and E. M., Vidyasagar University, Midnapur, West Bengal, India [E-mail: [email protected] ; 2 [email protected]] Received: 07 December 2012; revised: 07 July 2013 During the last 20 years the lower reach of the Rupnarayan River has experienced a net shoaling of 26.57 million m3 (survey made by Kolkata Port Trust, 1992-2012) with 42.04 million m3 shoaling and 15.47 million m3 scouring. Bathymetric close grid survey of the study area was made using Leveling instrument and Echo sounder interfaced with Position Fixing System (GPS). Simultaneous tidal observations were available at an interval of one hour, velocity of high tide and low tide, tidal asymmetry and discharge of water etc. are measured at different Gauge Stations in the field. Swifter and stronger high tide results more available energy during high tide than as low tide. The incoming high tide brings a lot of sediments from the downstream and deposits it on the bed of the studied river in absence of any upland discharge during the non-monsoon months. During the freshet (July, August and September) the impact of high tide is felt less due to the voluminous anti-directional flow of the upland discharge. Tidal range is more near Geonkhali (4.5m) and decreases towards upstream, being lowest near Kolaghat (2.9m). Tidal asymmetry increases from downstream (2 hours at Geonkhali) to upstream (6 hours at Kolaghat). Tidal prism (volume of water that enters a tidal region during flood flow) is very high in that region. [Key words: Sedimentation, transport power, bathymetry, tidal asymmetry, shoaling and scouring, tidal prism.] Introduction sediment during high tide is the main cause of Sedimentation is the main cause of rapid and continuous sedimentation at lower reach deterioration of stream channels and navigation of the Rupnarayan River. In the present study difficulties. The settling velocity of a particle of attempts have been made to explain the causes certain size is the threshold of deposition for that grain. Thus the flow velocity lowers than the and mechanism of sedimentation in connection to threshold causes deposition of that particle1.

Maximum MAITY & MAITI: TIDAL IMPACT LEADING TO SEDIMENTATION 1351 shoaling of around of 5 m is observed near the confluence at Geonkhali reach. During the period of last 20 years the right bank between confluence and 3 km upstream has encroached in to the river to the tune of 200-500 m. The incidence of local scour area is observed to be restricted within the lower half of this reach. It is observed that a deep pocket area just downstream of Dhanipur (22013’N and 87059’ to 880E) has not only survived but also improved with a maximum scour of 307m during the last 20 years. The upper half of the reach has been shoaled up almost completely with a maximum deposition of 2.1m. During the last 20 years, Dhanipur to Anantapur stretch of about 12 km has narrowed down to the extent of 45% of its width prevailing in the year 1992. Though the right bank at the lower stretch of around 5 km has got eroded to the extent of about 500m, the remaining 7 km lengths has encroached into the river to the tune of 750m. However this stretch could manage to maintain a narrow scouring channel in its entire length. Anantapur to Gopinathpur stretch of about 10 km has undergone severe transformation with respect to the year of 1992. Main channel, which used to flow hugging the left bank in its upper part in 1992, has completely shifted towards right bank to the extent of around 1.5 km. Severe deposition along the left bank in the upper part of the reach has induced sedimentation in the central portion of the lower part also.

WEST BENGAL PREFACE The contingency plans is the over-arching document that embodies the Government response policy and the national/ state/local level response organization for responding to various types of disasters that may affect the local populace and also the flora and fauna. Certain types of pollution can cause irreparable damage to the local ecosystem which sustains large life forms. The coast of West Bengal which measures about 264 kilometers has two major ports, three non major ports. The West Bengal coast has been blessed with vital ecosystems and preservation and protection of the ecosystem is vital for sustainable development. State of West Bengal also houses complex delta of Sunderbans. The vital ecosystems are predominantly found near the Sunderbans in the east, Mangroves forest area near entire coast of West Bengal. Eco-system has large varieties of flora and fauna and provides habitat for various wildlife and plants. The Indian Constitution and various legislations such as Forest Act, Wildlife Protection Act, Environment Protection Act 1986, Water Act 1974, empowers various authorities for taking necessary prevention and protection actions. However, for developing country like India, developmental activities are taking place at a faster rate and in most cases directly affect the environment protection principles, Pollution is the major by-product of the developmental activities and the oil pollution has become a major threat to the coastal areas due to risks associated with transportation by sea and the increased import of crude oil into India.

    DPR FOR DEVELOPMENT OF IWT ALONG ECC EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND BRAHMANI / KHARSUA RIVER SYSTEM 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION In order to give a boost to inter state movement of various products, a canal system was planned in the late 19th century. The canal system running between Paradip in the state of Orissa to Haldia in the state of West Bengal was looked upon as one of the greatest link in the total area from Paradip to Calcutta. The canal portion in Orissa was called Orissa Coast Canal and the portion in Bengal was named as Hijli tidal canal. The canal was opened to traffic during 1883 AD, but due to simultaneous development of railways and road network the canal system could not be utilised to the extent envisaged. Moreover, it is recorded that it was unable to pay for its own upkeep and maintenance and started silting up badly and slowly went out of use. Obvious reasons for this condition can be traced out to then newly created alternative mode of transport, infrastructure and technology available on IWT, which was basically old. Though certain stretches of this canal are still being used by people for movement of agricultural and other cargo by country boats, most part of the canal and its control structures are commonly found out of use and need upgradation /modification if the system is required to be put back in use. Presently the renamed East - Coast Canal (ECC) running between Paradip and Haldia consists of 120 km of natural river/creek portion between Paradip, Dhamra and Charbatia and 217 km of canal between Charbatia & Geonkhali including the intervening rivers and creeks.

  • Flood Risk Reduction of Rupnarayana River, Towards Disaster Management

While annual floods have the potential to wreak havoc on unprepared communities, spoil crops and endanger food security, they also play a vital role in agriculture. Flood Management and Mitigation is designed to minimize negative flood-related impacts while preserv- ing the benefits. Flood mitigation involves the managing and control of flood water movement, such as redirecting flood run-off through the use of floodwalls and flood gates, rather than trying to prevent floods altogether. It also involves the management of people, through measures such as evacuation and dry/wet proofing properties for example. The pre- vention and mitigation of flooding can be studied on a number of levels: individual properties, small communities and whole area or towns or cities. The costs of protection rise as more people and property are protected. The most effective way of reducing the risk to people and property is through the production of flood risk maps.

Results from the present Beld study depict that during the transition of the onset of the ebb tide, the velocity Beld showed reduced values that gradually acquired negative values at the near bank region.
