General description of project activity A.1 Title of the project activity: Mahatma Gandhi Hydro Electric Tail Race Hydro Power Project of APPL, India A.2. Description of the project activity: The purpose of the project activity, proposed by Ambuthirtha Power Private Limited (APPL) is to generate electricity by using the renewable hydro resources to meet the acute shortage of energy in the region. The development of the project activity would reduce the Green House Gas (GHG) emissions produced by the state grid mix, which is dominated by thermal power plants supplying electricity to the state grid. The project activity comes under the Sharavathy Valley Power Development Area along the river Sharavathy having a rainfall catchment area of 2274 m2. The Sharavathy valley comprises of 4 power generating stations viz. 1. 55 MW Linganamakki dam power house 2. 144 MW Mahatma Gandhi Hydro Electric (MGHE) station 3. 1035 MW Sharavathy Generating Station (SGS) 4. 240 MW Sharavathy tail race generating station The project activity is a small containment run-of-the river project which envisages construction and operation of small hydro power generating plant of 22.0 MW capacity at the down-stream of the existing MGHE station and upstream of the existing SGS. The project activity contemplates utilisation of: • Head available between existing MGHE station and Sharavathy station • Tail race discharge from existing MGHE station • Water inflows from independent catchment of Sharavathy river and Talakallale stream • Water released from Jog Falls The head available is approx. 70.5 m resulting in power potential of 22.0 MW. The project activity would generate approximately 113.36 million kWh electricity per annum and sell it to Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited (KPTCL) through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Project’s contribution to sustainable development Ambuthirtha Power Private Limited (APPL), owner of the project activity, believes that the project activity would greatly contribute to the sustainable development of the host country (India). Government This template shall not be altered. It shall be completed without modifying/adding headings or logo, format or font. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 02 CDM – Executive Board page 3 of India has stipulated the following indicators for sustainable development in the interim approval guidelines1 for CDM projects. Social well being Economic well being Environmental well being Technological well being The project activity has excellent contribution towards sustainable development and addresses the key issues: Social well being: The project activity has already and would in the future result in the enhanced employment of the local people during the construction and operation phases. It has already and would further help to enhance the skills of the labour in the area by training them in different technical areas. The project activity also would not result in any sort of displacement of local people. The project proponent has initiated various measures to enrich the lives of the local people in the areas of Education, Health, Computerization and Spirituality. Some of these measure are: 1. Steps have been taken to set up a computer lab in the local college which will ensure that the graduating students don't bear the burden of computer illiteracy while stepping into todays age of advanced computerisation. 2. A study of the local area revealed that many young students between the ages of 8-17 are dropping out of the schooling system primarily due to long travel (walk) distances between their remote villages and the school which is further compounded as we are in a heavy monsoon area and strong downpours force parents to not send their wards to schools during those months. The project proponents have initiated steps to provide free transportation to these children to and from school so that their education continues unhindered. 3. It was also noticed that the local area had no full fledged medical facilities and the nearest one was about 10 kms away which could prove difficult many a times during emergencies. The project proponents are exploring as to how to set up a Clinic that would provide free consultation and medicines to the local inhabitants. 1 Ministry of Environment and Forest web site : http://envfor.nic.in:80/divisions/ccd/cdm_iac.html This template shall not be altered. It shall be completed without modifying/adding headings or logo, format or font. PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 02 CDM – Executive Board page 4 4. The project proponents have already extended financial support to a local effort of setting up a place of worship which had come to a standstill due to paucity of funds. Spirituality is seen to bring lot of solace to the local residents and that was the main reason the project proponents decided to ensure that this place of worship does get built. Economical well being: The project activity has already and would further create business opportunity for local stakeholders such as bankers, consultants, suppliers, manufacturers, contractors, shopkeepers, providers of transportation facilities etc. Also the power supplied by project activity is cheaper than that supplied by most of the other IPPs leading to direct economic benefit for the state government which due to acute shortage is forced to import power at very high landed rates . The project activity would contribute to the economic well being in the region. Environmental well being Since, the project activity would use renewable hydro resources for power generation; it would not lead to any emissions in the environment. The project activity is a step towards environmental sustainability by saving exploitation and depletion of a natural, finite and non-renewable resource like coal/gas. The power generated by project activity would be mainly supplied to the metropolitan city of Bangalore. Bangalore suffers from rolling power break downs in peak periods during which large numbers of diesel generators are turned on. Project activity would definitely help to reduce these break downs leading to reduction in use of diesel generators, hence reducing the associated release of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, soot etc. The project proponents have reengineered the project to such an extent that the forest land requirement was halved from its original plan. Additionally the proponents along with the local forest officials have already afforested in another area the number of trees cut for the construction of this project clearly demonstrating the eco awareness of the project company Technological well being The technology selected for the power project is highly efficient one, using , latest designs from GE, Francis type turbines and proven world class imported generators This demonstrates that the project activity contributes to the sustainable development.

  • B. Pre-Feasibility Report (Extracts of DPR) 1
    Water Re-circulation and Environmental Sustainability Pre-feasibility Report Project for Jog Falls, Shivamogga District Karnataka B. Pre-feasibility report (extracts of DPR) 1. Executive Summary x The proposed project is a water recirculation project by pumping 400 cusecs of water in the summer months (8 months, November - June) from the storage pond near MGHE to the weir proposed to be constructed in the upstream of Sita Katte bridge and use the reversible flow in the same pipeline for generating power for 4 months (July-October). x The water from the weir will be released to the falls in the summer months (for about 8 months from November to June). This pumped water, drops over the falls for a maximum of about 8 hours each day for 8 months. The discharged water at the upstream will have a natural distribution through cascades before the drop in the falls. x In rainy season (June to October), the same pipeline would be used to generate power. The pump house/power house will be located in the area opposite side of Mahatma Gandhi Hydro Electric (MGHE) power house adjacent to Ambuthirtha reservoir/MGHE powerhouse tail water pond. The reservoir has sufficient storage capacity. x The water is pumped directly from the downstream storage pond through two pipes of 1600 mm diameter, which passes through a tunnel near Bombay guest house. The total distance to be covered from the pump house to the foot of the anicut near the Sita Katte bridge shall be approximately 3210 m. x The power house with two generators will be with an installed capacity for generation of power of 16.61 MW each in monsoon months (totalling to 47.84 million units) and the power consumed in non-monsoon months (pump mode) would be 24.74 MW each amounting to 47.80 Million units.

  • FM Holds Inter-Ministerial Meeting on Banning Sugar Futures Sugarcane
    NEWS FLASH –24th August, 2016 SUGAR FM holds inter-ministerial meeting on banning sugar futures Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Monday held an inter-ministerial consultation on imposing ban on sugar futures trading in an effort to curb speculation and check price rise of the sweetener during festival season. MoS for Food C L Chaudhary, secretaries from Food, Consumer Affairs, Agriculture and finance ministries were present in the meeting. The meeting comes in the backdrop of the Food and Consumer Affairs Ministry recommending the regulator Sebi to ban sugar futures trade to check prices. Sugar prices in the retail markets have risen in last few weeks and are ruling at Rs 42 per kg in the national capital. “We discussed about banning sugar futures trading in the meeting called by the FM. It was an initial discussion and nothing was decided,” Chaudhary told Press Trust of India after the meeting. Food Secretary Vrinda Sarup echoed the same and said: “Nothing has been finalised on banning sugar futures.” Sugar is largely traded on leading agri-commodity bourse National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX). The exchange has already raised the margin amount to be deposited by both sellers and buyers on its platform. To check prices, the government recently imposed an export duty of 20 per cent on sugar as part of its efforts to curb outbound shipments and boost domestic supply. India’s sugar production is estimated to decline to 25 million tonnes in the 2015-16 season (October-September) from 28.3 million tonnes in the previous year. The outlook for the next year is not encouraging as sugar production is pegged lower at 23.26 million tonnes.

  • 6. Water Quality ------61 6.1 Surface Water Quality Observations ------61 6.2 Ground Water Quality Observations ------62 7
    Version 2.0 Krishna Basin Preface Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS. India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india- wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning, development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by human interventions.

Land Cover. Western Ghats. Tropical Ecosystems. Stream Flow ABSTRACT Western Ghats is the primary catchment for most of the rivers in peninsular India. Pristine forests in this region are rich in biodiversity and are being cleared due to unsound developmental activities. Rapid land-use changes have undermined the hydrological conditions, there by affecting all the components in the hydrological regime. The development programs based on ad-hoc decisions, is posing serious challenges in conserving fragile ecosystems. These changes have adversely affected the hydrological regime of river basins resulting in diminished river / stream flows. This necessitates conservation of ecosystems in order to sustain the biodiversity, hydrology and ecology. In this situation, in order to resolve present problems and to avoid a future crisis, a comprehensive assessment of land use changes, its spatial distribution and its impact on hydrological regime was carried out to explore appropriate remedial methods for the sustainable utilization management of natural resources.
