GOA and APDCL will be the Executing Agencies for the MFF. As a part of the reforms program, GoA has unbundled ASEB into three companies: Assam Power Generation Corporation Limited (APGCL), Assam Electricity Grid Corporation Limited (AEGCL) and Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL). Assam Power Distribution Company Ltd. (APDCL) the successor company of unbundled ASEB is the Implementing Agency (IA) for distribution system of Tranche-III of the MFF The MFF will partly finance the expansion and augmentation of the transmission and distribution (T&D) networks. The investments are necessary to: (i) facilitate increased power transfers to accommodate increased demand and economic growth; (ii) improve supply-side energy efficiency by system de-bottlenecking and reducing technical losses; (iii) reduce the intensity of greenhouse gas (GHG) and other emissions via improved system efficiency; (iv) support expanded private sector participation in distribution system operations and other energy services; and (v) facilitate poverty reduction via improved electricity services and economic growth. Tranche III subproject has 29 new substations and 87 distribution lines of which 33kV lines have a length of 620.30 km and 11kV lines have a length of 307 km. The applicable Environmental Acts and Legislation are being complied along with Environmental covenants in ADB loan agreement for the project. In order to have a sustainable development in the project the emphasis on the implementation of EMP has been given top most priority. Environment and Social Cell has been constituted for closely monitoring of implementation of EMP. A grievance redressal committee has also been constituted to address the concerns of the impacted stakeholders. The Implementing Agency APDCL giving full attention towards the implementation of EMP. An environmental assessment and review framework (EARF) was prepared during Tranche I and is applicable for any investment that will be financed through the MFF which includes Tranche III. The EARF provides for the policy requirements, procedures, and institutional arrangements relevant for all the tranches. The sub project Tranche III is classified as Environment Category B based on their potential environmental impacts as indicated in ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 (SPS 2009). Following the SPS 2009 and EARF, IEE is prepared by APDCL as per ADB’s guide lines. The IEE describes the screening of potential environmental impacts due to i) project location and design ii) during construction and operation iii) proposed mitigation measures through implementation of EMP iv) public consultations and information disclosure and v) grievance redress mechanism M/s SMEC India Pvt Ltd contract No. PMU 02/2009 -10 with APDCL to provide “National Consultant Assignment for Individual National Expert for Implementation Support for Social & Environmental Activities” has been extended and contract agreement was signed on 4th of November 2011 between Project Management Unit (PMU), Assam State Electricity Board and SMEC.

Both erosion and deposition are continuous processes in the river in an attempt to reach a new equi- librium in channel geometry and morphology by the ever dynamic nature of flow. Erosion and deposition of the river have link to land use and land cover (LULC) as the land cover is under constant change in a dynamic landscape constantly shaped by continuous erosion and deposition. The objective of the present work is to evaluate the extent of erosion and deposition along the Brahmaputra river and change in the LULC of the Brahmaputra river in Assam, India. Remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques were utilised to extract information from Landsat images. Total area of erosion and deposition during 1973–2014 was 1557 and 204 km2, respectively.

  • Sediment Yield in the Mora Dhansiri River Catchment in Assam, India
    Trans.Inst.Indian Geographers ISSN 0970-9851 Sediment Yield in the Mora Dhansiri River Catchment in Assam, India Rana Sarmah, Guwahati, Assam Abstract This study attempts to estimate rate of sediment yield in a small size floodplain catchment with little physiographic and high climatic variations. Sediment yield rates are estimated adopting a field based conventional method for the period 2009-14. It has been estimated that rate of sediment yield in the study area is 618 t/km2/y. The average rate of sediment yield is estimated to be 417t/km2/y at gully-1, 451 t/km2/y at gully-2, 865 t/km2/y at gully-3, and 742 t/km2/y at gully-4 with an average of 618 t/km2/y for all gullies during 2009-14. Rate of sediment yield is increasing downstream in the order of 8t/km2/y/km primarily because of downstream fining of soil texture and increasing saturation level of the ground. It is found that rainfall of ground saturated period (July to October) has increased by 318mm (49%) during 2009-10 which yielded increase insediment yield of 127 t/km2/y (23%). This relation in 2010-11 became 266mm (27%) to 85 t/km2/y (12%) and in 2011-2014 36mm (3%) to 32 t/km2/y (5%). Thus, sediment yield rate is strongly determined by variation in rainfall of ground saturated period. It id also found that high rate of sediment yield in the stuy area is basically because of floodplain character of the basin with high anthropogenic interventions by tillaging the agricultural lands during the high runoff period.

  • Evaluation of Sinuosity Index of Dhansiri (South) River Channel and Bank Erosion, Assam in GIS
    ISSN (Online) 2393-8021 ISSN (Print) 2394-1588 International Advanced Research Journal in Science, Engineering and Technology Vol. 2, Issue 5, May 2015 Evaluation of Sinuosity Index of Dhansiri (South) River Channel and Bank Erosion, Assam in GIS Plabita Barman 1, Dulal C.Goswami 2 Research Scholar, Department of Environmental Science, Gauhati University, Guwahati, Assam, India 1 Former Professor and Head, presently Guest Faculty, Department of Environmental Science, Gauhati University, Guwahati, Assam, India 2 Abstract: The Dhansiri River is a highly meandering river. Its Sinuosity Index has been evaluated using satellite imageries of 1999 and 2008 which varies from 1.22 to 4.91. The river acquires a meandering course as it flows through the alluvial plains of Assam and is responsible for frequent course change and shifting of banklines due to consistent bank erosion. The progressive gradual change of the meander bends has been observed by superimposing the river layers of 1999 and 2008 in GIS platform. The length of the river course in 2008 (307.74km) became shorter by 6.20 km than that in 1999(313.94km). In the present study it has been found that the total area lost as a result of erosion is 13.13834 sq km and the total area gained as a result of sediment deposition along its bank is 15.15894 sq km. Keywords: Dhansiri River, Sinuosity Index, GIS, Landuse, Landcover, Erosion. I. INTRODUCTION A geometrically straight river is rare. All natural rivers, been made for quantitative assessment on the total amount big or small, have an inherent tendency to deviate from a of the bank area subjected to erosion during a period of straight line and increase their sinuosity.
