(ii) If any mishap is occurs downstream RD 23636 of Gurgaon Canal then water can be released through the escape. (iii) When there is heavy rainfall due to which demand of water in command area becomes very less and water has already been released from head; in such case, the escape is essentially required to protect the canal from breaches. (iv) When sufficient water is available in channels, then extra water is escaped into Gaunchi Main Drain for enhancement of irrigation. Kotla Lake Project Kotla depression covering approximately 5000 acres is a natural geological shallow depression of 10’ to 12’ depth situated in the foot hills of Aravali ranges bordering State of Haryana in District Nuh of Mewat Region. In past, this depression used to fill frequently during the monsoon period. There was a persistent demand among residents of villages namely Kotla, Akera, Mohmmadpur, Khanpur, Nuh, Meowali etc. for creation of fresh water reservoir for sustainment of agriculture and also to restore ecological balance as these villages, where are solely dependent for agriculture for which rain water storage is needed. For this, Govt. accorded approval for construction of a reservoir covering 108 acres of land including feeder channel in Village Akera of District Nuh. It will hold 1186.17 acres ft. of fresh water. Sub soil water in adjoining Villages is very low and also brackish, thus, not fit for Irrigation purposes. After storage of rain waters in Kotla Lake, underground water will be recharged and quality of underground water will also improve. During non- monsoon season, the reservoir will be fed with supplies from existing network of canal and drains routing through Gurgaon Canal, Nuh Drain, Ujina Drain, Kotla Drain and Leading Channel. During monsoon season the water will be replenished as per requirement from the available surplus Yamuna Water available at Okhla Barrage. The reservoir proposed to be full at fag end of the monsoon so as to utilize the same during the ensuing Rabi crops. Salient features of the project are as given below: Estimated Cost = Rs. 8090.98 Lakh Say = 8100.00 Lakh Land acquired = 108.00 Acres Cost of land = Rs. 5064.12 Lakh Storage Capacity = 1186.17 Acres ft. CCA = 27630 Acre Irrigation for Rabi = 17210 Acre Irrigation for Kharif = 10420 Acre Proposed Bed level = 602.80 feet Full tank level = 616.50 feet Top of Bund = 621.50 feet Top Width of Bund = 30.00 feet Catchments Area of Kotla Lake = 62 Sq. Km Submerge Area of Lake = 3200 Acres Village benefited -37 Nos. village = Bhogpur mandi, Silani, Manuwas, Kaliyaka, Hilalpur, Hassanpur, Uleta, Kherlidosa, Rewason, Melawas, Chhapera, Salamba, Bajarka, Mannaki, Tai, Gundwas, Ujina, Ghasera, Akera, Malab, Dihana, Birsika, Gohana, Ranika, Ujina, Bajhera, Bibipur, Sultanpur, Kalanjar, Sangel, Bhopawali, Devla-Nangli, Raipuri, Akera, Kotla, Meoli, Khanpur-Nuh.
