(Kota Administration officers including the cruise vessel operators) the findings are : - • Navigational water depth is 4m to 10m in both pondage (backwater) area i.e. Kota barrage and Jawahar Sagar dam. • Necessary environment / regulatory clearances / permissions from concerned State Govt. may take obtained. Findings (2/2) • IWAI may arrange necessary training to the vessel operators including vessel crew at National Inland Navigational Institute (NINI) in Patna. • The Vessels can be registered at any State Govt. IWT directorate. • Govt. of Rajasthan may establish a IWT directorate under Inland Vessel Act, 1917. • On design and construction of suitable floating jetties with identification of location, IWAI may provide necessary technical assistance Glimpse of the Site Visit held on 14th & 15th February, 2020 • A Webinar on stakeholder’s conference on 06.01.2021 at 1100 hrs. • Role of IWAI is limited to facilitation survey & support in navigation. • Role of State Govt. is crucial in supporting Tourism. • River Cruise Tourism policy is also being promoted by Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India.

  • Exec Summary
    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.

CHAMBAL BADLANDS: AN INTRODUCTION Land degradation is considered to be one of the most severe global environmental challenges (Eswaran et al., 2001; Lal, 2001; Scherr and Yadav, 2001). It has numerous economic, social and ecological consequences. Land degradation is also an important geomorphic process in many parts of the world and in a range of landscapes. Its causal determinants, in terms of local specificities, are yet to be understood fully (Lambin et al., 2003, 2009).

February, 2014; accepted ............................, 2014) ABSTRACT The water of Kota Barrage is mainly used for domestic uses and bathing, besides irrigation and aquac- ulture. Seasonal variations in benthic fauna and selected Physico-chemical parameters of Kota Barrage Dam have been studied on the basis of the samples collected during monthly surveys for a period of one year (November, 2004 to October, 2005) which revealed interesting interrelationship among various factors. This Dam is affected by pollution (industrial specially Thermal Power Plant effluents and domestic) as indicated by low dissolved oxygen. Based on depth of visibility values Kota Barrage Dam could be categorized as “Moderately eutrophic” whereas nitrate nitrogen values of Kota Barrage dam indicated “Mesotrophic” status. On the other hand hardness values of this Dam were “Moderately hard”. The species diversity was found to influence due to water pollution in Kota Barrage. Despite this the biodiversity of macroinvertebrates was appreciably high with recorded 27 species. Most dominant benthic species encountered were Melanoides tuberculata, Bellamya bengalensis, Gyraulus convexiusculus, Indoplanorbis exustus and Lymnaea acuminata.

  • Current Condition of the Yamuna River - an Overview of Flow, Pollution Load and Human Use
    Current condition of the Yamuna River - an overview of flow, pollution load and human use Deepshikha Sharma and Arun Kansal, TERI University Introduction Yamuna is the sub-basin of the Ganga river system. Out of the total catchment’s area of 861404 sq km of the Ganga basin, the Yamuna River and its catchment together contribute to a total of 345848 sq. km area which 40.14% of total Ganga River Basin (CPCB, 1980-81; CPCB, 1982-83). It is a large basin covering seven Indian states. The river water is used for both abstractive and in stream uses like irrigation, domestic water supply, industrial etc. It has been subjected to over exploitation, both in quantity and quality. Given that a large population is dependent on the river, it is of significance to preserve its water quality. The river is polluted by both point and non-point sources, where National Capital Territory (NCT) – Delhi is the major contributor, followed by Agra and Mathura. Approximately, 85% of the total pollution is from domestic source. The condition deteriorates further due to significant water abstraction which reduces the dilution capacity of the river. The stretch between Wazirabad barrage and Chambal river confluence is critically polluted and 22km of Delhi stretch is the maximum polluted amongst all. In order to restore the quality of river, the Government of India (GoI) initiated the Yamuna Action Plan (YAP) in the1993and later YAPII in the year 2004 (CPCB, 2006-07). Yamuna river basin River Yamuna (Figure 1) is the largest tributary of the River Ganga. The main stream of the river Yamuna originates from the Yamunotri glacier near Bandar Punch (38o 59' N 78o 27' E) in the Mussourie range of the lower Himalayas at an elevation of about 6320 meter above mean sea level in the district Uttarkashi (Uttranchal).
