  • Integrating 1D-2D Hydrodynamic Model for Sabarmati Upper River Basin with Special Reference to Ahmedabad City Area
    1 INTEGRATING 1D-2D HYDRODYNAMIC MODEL FOR SABARMATI UPPER RIVER BASIN WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO AHMEDABAD CITY AREA. Sejal Chandel ˡ, Dr. Suvarna Shah² ˡ PG Student, Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Technology and Engineering , The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara, Gujarat, India ²Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Technology and Engineering ,The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara, Gujarat, India [email protected] [email protected] Abstract In recent study, Gujarat has become one of the India’s most urbanized state, causing severe flash flooding. The Sabarmati river is one of the major west-flowing rivers in India and biggest river of north Gujarat. Urbanization should meet the population’s need by enlargement of paved areas, which has unusually changed the catchment’s hydrological and hydraulic characteristic. Therefore, the frequency of flash flooding in Sabarmati river has been increased. The Sabarmati river basin experienced eight times devastating flooding condition between 1972 to 2020.Among which July 2017 flooding event breakdown a 112 years old record of 1905. The Dharoi dam and Wasna barrage on Sabarmati river and surrounding district Kheda, Mehsana, Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad received a huge rainfall caused anomalous inflow to tributary which forced the dam authorities to release huge discharge in short duration. The Sabarmati riverfront of Ahmedabad had been going under water for five days due incessant rainfall in the city that leads to swelling of the Sabarmati River in 2017. In order to determine extent of Inundation, Hydrodynamic Model HEC-RAS(5.0.6) with Arc GIS was used. Various scenarios were run to study the impact of simulation on flood inundation(with & without riverfront project).The simulated flood depths have been compared with actual depths obtained at gauging station, which were collected from Government authorities.

Abstract: Flood is disastrous for developing countries, its assessment are important for flood risk management. Ahmedabad is largest city and former capital of Gujarat and included under the 100 Smart city project of India is situated 151.6 km downstream for Dharoi dam. The city has experienced floods in the year 1973, 1983, 1988, 1991, 1993, 1998, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. Going by statistics the city has experienced flood in almost consecutive three to four years. In addition, AMC has developed the Sabarmati River Front along the banks across the city which narrows the river section. Whether any study about risk of flood vulnerability has been done prior to the implementation of the project is not clear. How the river will react during flood situation is a matter of speculation for general public.

  • Chapter - 3 Description of Environment
    Environmental Impact Assessment Report Angel Industries, for Proposed Resin Manufacturing Unit Survey No.: 127, Village: Devkaran Na Muvada, Taluka: Dahegam, District: Gandhinagar, Gujarat. CHAPTER - 3 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT EIA METHODOLOGY FOR DATA COLLECTION It is very important part of base line data collection is an effective methodology and impact prediction to develop an efficient environment management plan. In this regard, it is important to understand the ground realities of the site and surrounding by the experts involved in preparation of EIA. Accordingly, a team of expert visited the proposed site to understand the site surrounding and possible impacts from the activities of the proposed project. The EIA coordinators in consultation with the respective functional area experts selected the sampling locations as per the TORs prescribed by the EAC. Subsequently, the base line monitoring was undertaken during March 2016 to May 2016 by T. R. Associates Laboratory. The collected data were analysed and interpreted. 3.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT Dispersion of different air pollutants released into the atmosphere have significant impacts on the neighborhood air environment of an industrial project and forms an important part of impact assessment studies. The ambient air quality status with respect to the study zone of 10 km radial distance from the plant site will form the base line information over which the predicted impacts due to the proposed plant can be super imposed to find out the net (Final) impacts on air environment. From the final impacts a viable Environmental Management Plan (EMP) can be prepared based on the impact statement for the air environment. The baseline status of the ambient air quality can be assessed thorough scientifically designed ambient air quality monitoring network.
