    PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT PERFORMANCE BUDGET 2015-2016 © Government of Tamil Nadu 2016 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT 1.0. General Management of water resources is vital to the holistic development of the State due to the growing drinking water needs and industrialisation, in addition to the needs of fisheries, environmental flows and community uses. Taking into account the limited availability of water and increasing demand for various uses, the need for creating new irrigation facilities at feasible locations and modernising, improving and rehabilitating the existing irrigation infrastructure assumes great importance. The Government is continuously striving to improve the service delivery of the irrigation system and to increase the productivity, through improving the water use efficiency, participation of farmers in operation and maintenance, canal automation, benchmarking studies and performance evaluation studies and building the capacity of Water Resources Department officials and farmers. In addition, the Government is taking up various schemes, viz., Rivers Inter-linking schemes, Artificial Recharge Schemes, Flood Management Programme, Coastal protection works, Restoration of Traditional water bodies, Augmenting drinking water supply, etc., to harness, develop and effectively utilise the seasonal flood flows occurring over a short period of time during monsoon. 1 2.0.

Although the monsoons effect most part of India, the amount of rainfall varies from heavy to scanty on different parts. There is great regional and temporal variation in the distribution of rainfall. Over 80% of the annual rainfall is received in the four rainy months of June to September. The average annual rainfall is about 125 cm, but it has great spatial variations. This lead to excess rainfall in one region which results the flood and water shortage in other region which leads to the drought in other region. The interlinking project are envisaged with aim to transfer the water from the water surplus region the water deficit region.

  • Need to Start Interlinking of Pennar and Palar Rivers in Tamil Nadu
    > Title: Need to start interlinking of Pennar and Palar rivers in Tamil Nadu. SHRI ABDUL RAHMAN (VELLORE): Under the Peninsula Rivers Development component of the National Perspective Plan (NPP) for interlinking rivers, National Water Development Agency (NWDA) has identified nine links meant for transferring surplus water from bigger rivers to the deficit basins where severe drought conditions are faced every year. Thousands of hectares of cultivable land is lying waste in the states of Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamilnadu and Pondicherry, Pennar-Palar-Cauvery link project is one among the nine links connecting to the river Palar. This link canal will provide irrigation to the Nellore and Chittoor districts of Andhra Pradesh; Tiruvallur, Kancheepuram, Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, Villupuram and Cuddalure districts of Tamilnadu and Pondicherry. Based on the feasibility study of the above, canal link was prepared by NWDA and project cost was estimated to be Rs. 6769 crore based on 2003-04 price level. Under the state link program of Tamil Nadu, Pennar (Krishnagiri)-Palar link was the only Intra-State link that was taken up based on the request of the Government of Tamil Nadu to assess the feasibility of diverting the flood waters from the existing Krishnagiri reservoir across Pennar river to the water deficit Palar basin. A preliminary feasibility report was prepared by NWDA for diverting 99 Mms of flood flow waters annually available at existing Krishnagiri dam to the Palar basin. This project was estimated to cost Rs.257.93 crore at 2008-09 price level. I wish to ask the Hon'ble Minister that what further action has been taken by the Ministry in this regard.

    Chapter – 5 Hydrology and Water Assessment 5.0 General The proposed Ponnaiyar (Nedungal) - Palar link project envisages diversion of 86 Mm 3 of flood waters of Ponnaiyar river occurring at Krishnagiri dam for recharging ground water in Palar basin for stabilizing the existing ayacut being irrigated under open wells/bore wells in Vaniyambadi taluka of Vellore district as well as feeding system tanks (Eris) in enroute areas of Krishnagiri and Pochampalli talukas of Krishnagiri district and Tirupattur taluka of Vellore district besides providing drinking water supply to about 1.52 lakh people enroute the link canal. The Ponnaiyar (Nedungal)-Palar link project area has four distinct seasons viz., dry period from January to February, hot period from March to May, south-west monsoon from June to September and north-east monsoon from October to December. The climate is cold from December to February followed by hot season from March to May. In general, the project area has a pleasant climate. The hydrology and water availability studies of the project are based on the Rainfall-Runoff relationship developed at Krishnagiri dam site. However, the divertable quantity is based on the average flood spills during monsoon period from the existing Krishnagiri dam. 5.1 General Information about Regions (a) Ponnaiyar Basin The climate of the basin area is pleasant throughout the year, as per the climatological data observed at Dharmapuri IMD station which is nearer to the project area. The average annual rainfall of the basin is 977 mm. The basin receives about 76% of the annual rainfall during monsoon period i.e.
