Objectives of the Hirakud Dam Project The Hirakud Dam Project is a multipurpose Major project built across river Mahanadi at about 15.0 Km. upstream of Sambalpur town in the state of Orissa (i.e latitude 21˚-32’-00”N, longitude 83˚-52’-30”E) . This happens to be the first post independence major multipurpose river valley project in India. In 1945, it was decided, under the Chairmanship of Dr.B.R. Ambedkar, that the potentialities of river Mahanadi should be fruitfully and expeditiously investigated for multipurpose use. Central Water-ways Irrigation and Navigation Commission took up the work. The foundation stone of Hirakud Dam was laid by Sir Howthrone Lewis, the then Governor of Orissa, on 15th March 1946. The project was formally inaugurated by the first Prime Minister of independent India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on 13th January 1957. Power generation along with water supply for irrigation started progressively from 1956 and full potential was achieved by 1966. Hirakud Dam is a composite structure of earth, concrete and masonry. The Main Dam, having overall length of 4.8 Km., spans between hills Lamdungri on left and Chandidungri on the right. The Dam is flanked by 21.0 Km. long earthen dykes both on left and right sides to close the low saddles beyond the abutment hills. It has the distinction of being the longest dam in Asia, 25.80 Km. long with Dam and Dykes taken together. It has also the rare distinction of forming the biggest artificial lake in Asia with a reservoir spread of 743.0 Kms.at full reservoir level. Hirakud Dam intercepts 83,400 Sq.Km. (32,200 sq.miles) of Mahanadi catchment .The reservoir has a live storage of 4,823 M.Cum ( present) with gross storage of 5,896 M.Cum (present) . Hirakud Dam project provides 1, 59,106 Ha. of Kharif and 1,08,385 Ha. of Rabi irrigation in the districts of Sambalpur, Bargarh, Bolangir and Subarnapur. The water released through power house irrigates further 2,51,000 Ha. of C.C.A in Mahanadi delta. Besides this the project provides flood protection to 9500 Sq.Km. of delta area in undivided districts of Cuttack and Puri. The completed cost of the project was Rs. 100.02 crores. in 1957. .

Bhubaneswar 2Associate Professor, V.S.S.U.T, Burla 3Mtech Student, Civil Engg. Department, C.E.T, Bhubaneswar, Abstract: - In the present research program the status of The Mahanadi watershed is the most developed and pollution of water of a major river namely Mahanadi of Odisha urbanized region in the state of Odisha. The increasing (downstream of Hirakud dam) has been analyzed. The study deterioration of water quality of the watershed is mainly was conducted to assess and ascertain the physico-chemical attributed to the uncontrolled and improper disposal of properties of Mahanadi river water from sixteen different solid and toxic waste from industrial effluents, agricultural water quality monitoring stations of State Pollution Control Board. The analysis was carried out by taking certain runoff and other human activities. This alarming water important water quality determining parameters like pH, pollution not only causing degradation of water quality but Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), also threatens human health and balance of aquatic Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Chloride, Total Dissolved ecosystem, and economic development of the state. Oxygen (TDS), Nitrate, Sulphates, Total Hardness (TH), In the present study, data matrix obtained during 14 years Electrical Conductivity (EC) and Fluoride. Analyzed monitoring program (2000 to 2014) is subjected to different parameters like pH, DO, TH, Chloride, Sulphate and TDS multivariate statistical approach to extract information were found within permissible limit prescribed by IS 10500 about the similarities or dissimilarities between sampling except Nitrate and Fluoride content which exceeds at some sites, and the influences of possible sources on water sites.

Mahanadi River Basin
The Forum and Its Work The Forum (Forum for Policy Dialogue on Water Conflicts in India) is a dynamic initiative of individuals and institutions that has been in existence for the last ten years. Initiated by a handful of organisations that had come together to document conflicts and supported by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), it has now more than 250 individuals and organisations attached to it. The Forum has completed two phases of its work, the first centring on documentation, which also saw the publication of ‘Water Conflicts in MAHANADI RIVER BASIN India: A Million Revolts in the Making’, and a second phase where conflict documentation, conflict resolution and prevention were the core activities. Presently, the Forum is in its third phase where the emphasis of on backstopping conflict resolution. Apart from the core activities like documentation, capacity building, dissemination and outreach, the Forum would be intensively involved in A Situation Analysis right to water and sanitation, agriculture and industrial water use, environmental flows in the context of river basin management and groundwater as part of its thematic work. The Right to water and sanitation component is funded by WaterAid India. Arghyam Trust, Bangalore, which also funded the second phase, continues its funding for the Forums work in its third phase. The Forum’s Vision The Forum believes that it is important to safeguard ecology and environment in general and water resources in particular while ensuring that the poor and the disadvantaged population in our country is assured of the water it needs for its basic living and livelihood needs.

Journal of Spatial Hydrology Vol.7, No.1, Spring 2007 Sedimentation Study of Hirakud Reservoir through Remote Sensing Techniques Saumitra Mukherjee*, Vijay Veer**, Shailendra Kumar Tyagi** and Vandana Sharma** Abstract Any reduction in water spread area at a specified elevation over a time period is indicative of sediment deposition at this level. This when integrated over a range of water stages helps in computing volume of storage lost through sedimentation. This study relates to estimation of capacity loss due to sedimentation of Hirakud reservoir, located in Orissa, India. Satellite data of 5 optimal dates corresponding to various water stages from minimum to maximum draw down levels were used in estimating the water spread areas. Simple ratiod (NIR/RED) image were generated to identify the water pixels and then verifying the standard FCC. The non-water pixels were then identified with the ratiod (GREEN/NIR) image and removed to have the total water spread.
