Dedicated to SKJ: My family, with respect and affection PKA: My late father VPS: Anita, Vinay and Arti v Saraswati saryuh sindhurmibhirma ho maheervasa yantu vakshinih Devirapo matarah sudaytnavo ghravatpayo madhumanno archat Yajur Veda (X,64.9) Water from wells, rivers, rain, and from any other source on earth should be used wisely as it is gift of nature, for well-being of all. PREFACE India is truly a country of continental scale in every respect – topography, climate, culture, and of course water resources. Currently, India is one of the fastest growing economies of the world. Needless to say, the water sector has a crucial role to play in the social well-being and the quality of life. The need for a book describing India’s hydrological practices and water resources, problems in their exploitation, and prospects for their solution has long been felt. A book of somewhat similar nature was published more than three decades ago. During this intervening time a lot of changes have occurred in India not only in the practice of hydrological and water resources technology but also in the environment, society, landscape and land use, agricultural practices, and even climate. Thus, this book attempts to provide a more up-to-date account of water resources of India. It is aimed at students, practitioners, mangers, planners, administrators, and anyone who may be interested in the development and management of water resources in India. The book is organized in four sections. The first section Introduction has one chapter, Physical Environment of India, which gives a broad overview of the country. The second section, Hydrology and Hydrometeorology, is comprised of five chapters dealing with the major components of the hydrologic cycle for India. Water Budget and Population of India are discussed in Chapter 2, followed by a discussion of Rainfall and Analysis of Rainfall Data in Chapter 3; Evaporation and Other Meteorological Data in Chapter 4; Runoff and Streamflow in Chapter 5; and Groundwater in Chapter 6. These chapters describe instruments and measurement techniques, and the techniques of analysis that are used in India in order to measure and analyze the components of the hydrologic cycle. Maps, vii viii Preface figures, and tables are extensively used to illustrate the quantities of concern and their spatial and temporal variations. The third section, comprising 10 chapters, focuses on River Basins of India. Beginning with an overview of the various river basins and their water resources in Chapter 7 entitled ‘River Basins of India’, it goes on to discuss individual basins or a group of basins. Chapter 8 discusses Ganga Basin; Chapter 9 Brahmaputra Basin; Chapter 10 Indus Basin; Chapter 11 Narmada Basin; Chapter 12 Tapi, Sabarmati, and Mahi Basins; Chapter 13 Mahanadi, Subernarekha, and Brahamani Basins; Chapter 14 Krishna and Godavari Basins; Chapter 15 Cauvery and Pennar Basins; and Chapter 16 Other Basins and Islands. The fourth section entitled Water Uses, Projects, Problems and Governance is the final section of the book and is comprised of 8 chapters. Chapter 17 describes the Major Uses of Water in India. It discusses at length the water uses for irrigation, hydropower, municipal and industrial uses, environment flow, recreation, navigation, etc. Problems Related to Water Resources form the subject matter of Chapter 18, followed by Chapter 19 on Reservoirs and Lakes in India, and Chapter 20 on Water Quality Related Aspects. A practitioner should also be conversant with legal aspects and this perspective is presented in Chapter 21 entitled Constitutional Provisions, Inter-state Water Disputes and Treaties. Inter Basin Water Transfer is becoming a major initiative in India these days in order to overcome problems due to spatial and temporal mismatch between water availability and demands. A detailed description of the present proposals being debated in India and other related aspects are presented in Chapter 22. A brief discussion of the Institutions in the Field of Hydrology and Water Resources in India forms the subject matter of the Chapter 23. The final Chapter 24 is devoted to Water Governance in India. Water Resources of India is a vast subject and despite this voluminous book, several aspects could not be covered here. We hope that the book will be helpful to those who have interest in the water resources of India. For this book, data was compiled from a very large number of sources and at times data from different sources were quite different. We have attempted to present a consistent and the most likely status of things. It is, however, likely that there are some mistakes in the book and we request the alert readers to bring these to our notice. Sharad Jain Pushpendra Agarwal Vijay Singh April 2006 Roorkee/College Station ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A large number of colleagues helped us at various stages of preparation of the manuscript.

    lR;eso t;rs INDIA NATION ACTION PROGRAMME TO COMBAT DESERTIFICATION In the Context of UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION TO COMBAT DESERTIFICATION (UNCCD) Volume-I Status of Desertification MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT & FORESTS GOVERNMENT OF INDIA NEW DELHI September 2001 National Action Programme to Combat Desertification FOREWORD India is endowed with a wide variety of climate, ecological regions, land and water resources. However, with barely 2.4% of the total land area of the world, our country has to be support 16.7% of the total human population and about 18% of the total livestock population of the world. This has put enormous pressure on our natural resources. Ecosystems are highly complex systems relating to a number of factors -both biotic and abiotic - governing them. Natural ecosystems by and large have a high resilience for stability and regeneration. However, continued interference and relentless pressures on utilisation of resources leads to an upset of this balance. If these issues are not effectively and adequately addressed in a holistic manner, they can lead to major environmental problems such as depletion of vegetative cover, increase in soil ero- sion, decline in water table, and loss of biodiversity all of which directly impact our very survival. Thus, measures for conservation of soil and other natural resources, watershed development and efficient water management are the key to sustainable development of the country. The socio-ecomonic aspects of human activities form an important dimension to the issue of conservation and protection of natural resources. The measures should not only include rehabilitation of degraded lands but to also ensure that the living condi- tions of the local communities are improved.

  • Bhakra Dam – a Different View
    Review 12 Bhakra dam – A different view Siddharth Narrain Unravelling Bhakra: Assessing the Temple of Resurgent India by Shripad Dharmadhikary, Manthan Adhyayan Kendra, Badwani, MP, 2005; pp 372, Rs.150. [B.E21a.D3] THE last two decades have seen an increasing number of questions being raised on the utility of big dams in India. In 2000, the World Commission on Dams (WCD) brought out its report "Dams and Development: A New Framework for Decision Making" after two years of work, which included interactions with non-governmental organisations (NGOs), people's movements, governments, and international organisations such as the World Bank. According to the India country study report submitted as part of this process, the planning process in India has not looked seriously at alternatives to big dams nor has it tried to find out whether big dams have been beneficial vis-a-vis their financial, social and environmental costs. One of the dams that is widely perceived to have played a crucial role in India becoming self- sufficient in food production is the Bhakra dam, the first of the large dams that Jawaharlal Nehru called "temples of modern India". 1 A recent report, "Unravelling Bhakra: Assessing the Temple of Resurgent India", has concluded that the spectacular growth in foodgrain production in Punjab and Haryana can be attributed to the Bhakra project only to a limited extent. The report, the first of its kind to evaluate comprehensively the costs and benefits of the Bhakra project, was put together after three years of research and field visits by the Manthan Adhyayan Kendra headed by Shripad Dharmadhikary.

  • Chapter – 4 Surveys and Investigations
    Chapter – 4 Surveys and Investigations The surveys and investigations for the Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project have been carried out in order to study the technical feasibility of the scheme. 4.1 Topographical surveys Topographical surveys of the link consist of following items of works. 4.1.1 River surveys (a) River Par The river survey has been carried out along the river Par on which two dams, namely, Jheri and Mohankavchali are proposed. The L-Section along the river has been taken for 5 km u/s and 10.5 km d/s of the Jheri dam site upto RLs of 200.735 m and 140.655 m respectively. Altogether, 10 nos. of cross- sections have been taken for grid survey in the vicinity of Jheri dam site at 60 m interval. The river survey in the vicinity of Mohankavchali dam site could not be carried out due to local hindrance. As such, the details of the area have been taken from Survey of India toposheet (scale 1:50,000). (b) River Nar The river survey has been carried out along the river Nar (a tributary of river Par) on which Paikhed dam is proposed. The L-Section along the river has been taken for 5 km u/s and 5.5 km d/s of the Paikhed dam site upto RL of 193.21 m and 141.945 m respectively. However, cross-section could not be taken due to local hindrance. River survey along river Nar has also been carried out for a length of 8.42 km in the vicinity of Paikhed Weir.

During this period, the TISS developed baseline data on social, demographic, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of individuals, families and communities in 33 villages in Akkalkuwa and Akrani tehsils of Dhule (now Nandurbar) district, and tracked changes in the habitat and life conditions of people shifted from Manibeli, Dhankhedi, and Chimalkhedi villages to Parveta (one of the earliest resettlement sites in Gujarat). While TISS moved out of its monitoring and evaluation role in 1994, it continued to track the progress made on various aspects of the SSP. Dam height has been steadily increasing and reached 121.92 m in October 2006; the final and pending phase of installing radial gates will take the dam height to 138.68 m.
