CHAPTER-1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1.1 INTRODCUTION Earlier before the Bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, two projects namely (i) Rajiv Dummugudem Lift Irrigation Project (ii) Indira SagarRudram Kota Lift Irrigation Project were proposed in order to harness the irrigation potential of left out ayacut from existing irrigation Projects, which is about 6.5 Lakh Acres out of which about 2 Lakh Acres was proposed to be covered by Rajiv Dummugudem Lift Irrigation Project and 1.25 Lakh Acres was proposed to be covered by Indira Sagar Lift Irrigation Project. Even after execution of this Project, about 2.55 Lakh Acres will still remain to be covered by any future irrigation Project. After bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, 7 Mandals of District was amalgamated in of Andhra Pradesh, in this process the intake structure of proposed Indira Sagar Lift Irrigation Project went into administrative boundary of Andhra Pradesh. As such there is a need for revision of the Indira Sagar Project in order to avoid administrative difficulties in O&M between two adjoining states. In view of above, Govt. of Telangana decided not only to integrate earlier proposed Indira Sagar and Rajiv Sagar Lift Irrigation Project into one lift irrigation Project but also to cover the Gap Ayacut which is not coming under any present or future irrigation Project. Accordingly, the project is now renamed as Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project is being formulated to cover about 2.72 Lakh Ha of Khammam, BhadradriKothagudem& Districts of Telangana in the first phase, in which it covers new ayacut of about 1,33,085 Ha and Stabilization of about 1,39,836 Ha. The Project envisages construction of Head Regulator at Dummugudem Anicut and to draw water from Godavari through an approach channel with CBL at EL. 45 m. The Approach Channel with a length of about 0.75 Km has been designed with a design discharge of 255 Cumecs (9000 Cusecs) from the River soon after the regulator and thereafter designed a gravity canal for a length of about 10.50 km and then water will be lifted from proposed 1st pump house at Village B.G.Kothuru, Aswapuram (M) with a discharge of 255 Cumecs (9000 cusecs) from El. 43.510 m to El. 67.18 m and then water will be flowing through a gravity canal for a length of about 33.10 Km crossing two major rivers Kinnerasani and Murredu at Chainage 36.25 Kms and 38.00 Km respectively and from proposed 2nd pump house at Ch. 43.900 Km near Village V.K.Ramavaram, H/O Pusugudem, Mulakalapally(M), Bhadradri- Kothagudem District with a discharge of about 250 cumec is lifted from El. 62.464 to El 110 m to Delivery Cistern at Ch. 44.650 km and then water will be flowing through a lined canal of about 12.575 km length up to proposed 3rd Pump House at km. 57.225, Kamalapuram and then water is lifted through the pumping main of about 1525 m from El. 108.238 m to El.

160 m to delivery cistern at Ch. 58.750 Km with a discharge of about 210 cumec. From this point, the Water conductor system consisting of Gravity canal and Tunnel has been proposed to irrigate the earlier proposed Rajiv SagarAyacut, including stabilisation of NSP, Wyra and Paleru projects with a ayacut of about 5,39,387 Ac (New ayacut of about 1,93,853 Acres and rest under stabilization). From the same pump house at Kamalapuram, the water is lifted to El.200 to feed ayacut (Indira SagarAyacut of about 1,35,000 Acres) covering Sathupally and enroutemandals through water conductor system. Fourth pump house has been proposed at Dibbagudem H/o Gandugulapally(V), Dammapeta(M) of Bhadradri-Kothagudem District village in which water will be lifted from El. 197 m to El. 245 m which covers command area of about 60,000 acres. Second Pressure main from the same pump house will take off and water from this point (El. 197 m) will be lifted to El. 245 m to cover an ayacut of 25000Ac. Total Stabilization of Major and Medium projects like NSP, Wyra, Lankasagar and Paleru is of about 2,76,660 Acres. Other minor irrigation Projects and PR Tanks where there is no assured irrigation source for an area of about 97,158 Ac. will also be stabilised through this Project. Also, provision for Industrial and Drinking Water Supply has also been taken into account. The proposed Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project envisages the construction of following.  Construction of Head Regulator at DummugudemAnicut on River Godavari  Construction of Lined Canal of about 372 Km.  Construction of Four Pump Houses  Delivery Cisterns  Laying of Pumping Main of about 9 Km.  Cross Drainage works across Main Canal.  Road Bridges wherever required.  Cross Regulators and Offtakes etc.  Construction of Tunnels

CHAPTER – 3 IMPACTS DUE TO LAND ACQUISITION

Irrigation and CAD Department, SIA Study for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

CHAPTER-3 IMPACTS DUE TO LAND ACQUISITION 3.1 GENERAL Based on the project details and the baseline environmental status, potential impacts as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project on Social Aspects have been covered in the present Chapter. Land acquisition and population displacement/involuntary resettlement The important adverse impact during construction phase will be that, pertaining to land acquisition. About 7401.67 ha of land is to be acquired for the proposed Sita Rama Lift Irrigation project. About 9246.05 acres (3743.34 ha) of private land will be acquired. About 2472 families will be losing land. No family is likely to lose homestead. The acquisition of private land would lead to PAFs losing land in varying proportions. A suitable compensation plan will be formulated for compensation of families losing land or homestead. Usually government or forest lands act as community property resources (for gathering firewood, fodder, fruits, berries etc.) for the local residents. Acquisition of forest or government lands would increase pressure on remaining forest and government lands. 3.2 IMPOVERISHMENT RISK ASSESSMENT (IRA) In project feasibility and preparation studies, the IRA performs two basic functions. Foremost, it serves as a diagnostic and predictive tool, to anticipate risks in resettlement and to assess their nature and their expected intensity. Secondly, IRA is also used as a problem resolution and planning function, to guide the incorporation of measures matching each main risk, either for prevention or mitigation. The IRA identifies impoverishment not only in terms of income, but also in terms of employment opportunities, health care, nutrition, food security, common assets, education, shelter or social capital. The IRA framework has been synthesized from the knowledge of past experiences, which saves considerable time and effort in feasibility work by not demanding general risk analysis to start afresh in each project, but rather by ex-ante offering a well-tested starting point. The matrix of eight basic risks in light of historical experience, predictable in most resettlement situations: landlessness, joblessness, homelessness, marginalization, increased morbidity and mortality, food insecurity, loss of access to common property, and social (community) disarticulation. Each of these risks is discussed in Table-3.1.

CHAPTER-4 IMPACTS DUE TO COMMAND AREA DEVELOPMENT

Irrigation and CAD Department, SIA Study for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

CHAPTER – 4

IMPACTS DUE TO COMMAND AREA DEVELOPMENT

4.1 KEY IMPACTS There will be number of positive changes on the socio-economic conditions of the affected people as well as on the population to be benefitted by the Project living in the surrounding areas. There will be obvious change in the scenario leading into the Socio-economic development of the area. Some of the probable positive impacts on socio-economic environment due to the project are given in Table-4.1. Table-4.1: Positive Impacts likely to accrue as a result of the project S.No. Positive Impact Details 1. Increased The irrigation facilities will result into increase in yield of Kharif irrigation potential Crop. The irrigation facilities will increase the production of food grains, which in turn will improve the economic condition of the people in the adjoining areas. At present maximum dependability is on the rain water for agriculture operations and the construction of the Project will improve irrigation facilities resulting into better yield and diversification of cropping pattern. 2. Better living When the dependability of rain will diminish for agriculture and other Standard needs after construction of the Project they will have production of one i.e. Kharif only improving their economic condition resulting into better standard of living. People will start using new techniques of agriculture and will have better irrigation facilities. There will increase in agriculture production which will result in increase in income of the PAFs and neighboring villages. The project will result in reduction in poverty level of that area. 3. Employment The project will provide adequate employment opportunity during Potential / construction as well as operation phase. The creation of the Fisheries reservoir will increase fish production and development of pisciculture in the region. Many families will get job in the fisheries sector which will improve their socio-economic condition. The increase in irrigation intensity will lead to greater requirement of manpower in fields which will improve the employment potential. 4. Sustained Water Up till now villages were dependent upon rain water for agriculture Availability for and other needs but after the construction of the Sita Rama Lift Agriculture, Irrigation Project there will be sustained water availability for Industrialization agriculture and day to day needs of life. The availability of water will and Drinking give better prospects for development of Industries in the area. The Water construction of the project will be a blessing for the farmers of the command area served by this Project. 5. Improvement in The economic growth and availability of more job opportunities in Lifestyle, Social the area will lead to be improvement in lifestyle and social status of Status and the people. The social status of the people can change only when confidence there is economic growth in the society. The construction of the

WAPCOS Limited 4-1

Irrigation and CAD Department, SIA Study for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

S.No. Positive Impact Details building project will bring many positive changes resulting into the development of the area. This will give immense confidence to the people to achieve better prospects in life which is certainly going to increase their social status. 6. Better Villagers own cattle lot of Cattle mainly Cows and Buffaloes. But opportunities for due to lack of resources to transport the milk to the nearby Towns Cattle rearing and they are not able to make cattle rearing as their only source of livelihood. But after the construction of this Project there will be ample water for the activity of cattle rearing. The Cattle rearing will not only give them additional income but a source of alternative livelihood. The Cattle Rearing will result into production of Cow dung which is a good source of manure and fuel for cooking food.

4.2 OTHER IMPACTS Provide local services like water supply, education, healthcare, community forests etc. The commissioning of the project will increase gross money flow in the project area. This will lead to significant impacts in the project area. The area will have increased demands for services, such as sewerage system, communication, transportation, medical and educational facilities, etc. It is presumed that all these developments would result in generation of additional employment. Thus, with the increased income level, there will be an improvement in the local service facilities. Governmental service enhancement opportunities Besides upgrading local services like education, drinking water, health post etc. other governmental services like security, bank, finance etc will improve at and around the project sites. Government will provide different services to the project this will automatically help locals. Due to increased economic activities and work force to the project areas government as well as private bank will be established. Besides bank saving and cooperative institutions will also develop at local level for saving the earnings. Employment opportunities The construction phase will last for about 3 years. The peak labour force and technical staff required is estimated at about 2600 and 500. The total number of persons inhabiting the area including the service population will be about 10000. The construction phase of any project is rather an unsettled stage characterized by uncertainties and often disorders. The basic problem relates to management of large population, which migrates to the project area or near major construction sites, in search of jobs. It has been estimated that about 10000 persons will inhabit the area during construction phase, which is likely to last for a period of about 3 years. The construction of the proposed project would invariably create a number of direct employment opportunities. However, indirect employment opportunities would also be generated which

Irrigation and CAD Department, SIA Study for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

would provide great impetus to the economy of the local area. Various types of businesses, such as shops, food-stalls, tea stalls, restaurants, workshops, etc. would invariably come-up, which would be run by the more entrepreneurial local residents. Besides, a variety of suppliers, traders, transporters, service providers, etc., are also likely to concentrate here and likely to benefit immensely, as demand for almost all types of goods and services will increase significantly. The business community as a whole would be benefited. The locals would also avail these opportunities arising from the project and increase their income levels. The construction of the project will provide an impetus to the industrialization and urbanization in the area. Many of the agricultural lands or barren lands in the vicinity of the project area are likely to be put to non-agricultural uses. The project would require lot of ancillary developments like shops, restaurant, workshops, etc. which will have a significant impact on the existing land use of the area. Job opportunities will drastically improve in this area. At present most of the population sustains on agriculture and allied activities. There are no major industries or other avenues of occupation in the area. The project will open a large number of jobs to the local population during project construction phase. Business opportunities Apart from direct employment, opportunities for indirect employment will also be generated which would provide great impetus to the economy of the local area. Various types of business like shops, food-stall, tea stalls, etc. besides a variety of suppliers, traders, transporters will concentrate here and benefit immensely as demand will increase significantly for almost all types of goods and services. The business community as a whole will be benefited. The locals will avail these opportunities arising from the project and increase their income levels. With the increase in the income levels, there will be an improvement in the infrastructure facilities in the area. The project construction will improve the subsidiary employment opportunities on account of commissioning of workshops, small vehicle and equipment repair shops etc. The locals will avails these opportunities arising from the project. Local participation in the project activities On completion of construction world, the project will require some permanent posts for the smooth operation and regular maintenance of project components such as equipment, headworks, surge shaft and powerhouse. Locals will be recruited for administrative and technical works according to their qualification and skills. These will give permanent income source to some of the local people. Community health improvement After the project construction, there will be better accessibility condition to and around the project area. At the same time, project will upgraded health facilities in the area as a part of

WAPCOS Limited 4-3

Irrigation and CAD Department, SIA Study for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

Local Area Development Plan. Socio-economic improvement the project area, will result in access to the district hospitals as well as project health care units. During project construction phase, the proponent will establish public health infrastructure for labour population with adequate number of health workers and logistic supports primarily to provide health support services to the workers and project staff. The health facility will also be made available to local people and visitors as well. Impacts on Cultural/ Heritage, archeological and religious sites No impacts on cultural/Heritage archaeological and religion sites is anticipated due to the project. Impact on social services During construction phase, a large labour force, including skilled, semi-skilled and un-skilled labour force expected to immigrate into the project area. It is felt that most of the labour force would come from various parts of the country India. However, some of the locals would also be employed to work in the project. The labour force would stay near to the project construction sites. The project will also lead to certain negative impacts. The most important negative impact would be during construction phase. The labour force that would work in the construction phase would settle around the project site. They would temporarily reside there. This may lead to pollution, due to generation of domestic wastewater, human waste, municipal solid waste etc. Excavations The excavation of earth from borrow pits etc. is one of the major factor for the increase in prevalence of malaria. After excavation of construction material, the depressions are generally left without treatment where water gets collected. These pools of water, then serves as breeding grounds for mosquitoes. The flight of mosquito is generally limited up to 1 to 2 km from the breeding sites. Residential areas are located within 1 km from the reservoir, periphery and increased incidence of malaria is anticipated. However, labour camps, etc. could be vulnerable to increased incidence of malaria, if proper control measures are not undertaken. Inadequate facilities in labour camps Improperly planned labour camps generally tend to become slums, with inadequate facilities for potable water supply and sewage treatment and disposal. This could lead to outbreak of epidemics of water-borne diseases. Adequate measures for supply of potable water and sewage treatment have been recommended as a part of Environmental Management Plan outlined in Volume-III of this Report.

Influence on agricultural production and social utility Utilization of agricultural lands for different project features will decrease the agricultural production in the area. Furthermore, possible diversion of labor from agricultural practices into project construction activities may result in lower seasonal yields causing additional food shortages in the area.

At the same time, project construction activities will pose some disturbance to the regular agricultural activities of the area like dust pollution. This impact alters the social utility; as a result, local people will have to purchase food items. The acquisition of land will also have direct impact on agricultural production and economic condition of the local people.

Influence on law and order Construction period of Sita Ram Lift Irrigation project will be 3 years. The peak labour requirement is estimated to be around 6000-7500; more than 80% of which belonging to different socio-cultural background will temporarily migrate to the project area from other districts and different countries. They will interact and interrelate with the project management and with the local community which is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-religious society. Furthermore, cash flow in the area may attract the workers towards gambling, alcohol consumption, prostitution, stealing, looting, and such other social evils. In such situation general breakdown of law and crime may occur. Some of the workers may take advantage of this situation. Therefore, social disruptive behaviors are likely to increase in the project area during the construction period. Impact on gender discrimination risks The project shall ensure equal access to participation and decision making of women in social, political and economic life of the nation and mainstreaming a gender perspective in the development process. Project shall provide equal access to women for employment, equal remuneration, occupational health and safety, social security, etc. Impact on child discrimination risks During construction phase, large number of local as well as outsiders will be engaged directly and indirectly in project. If both parents will be employed in project they cannot give their time to children so that children will be discriminated. Although, the project will have the provision of not employing children less than 18 years of age, poverty parents to forced engage their children in some form of work like in tea stalls, collection of sand, aggregates etc. Since there would be extra earnings, children will be attracted to help their parents in working with the project rather than going to school for education. This will definitely affect the educational pattern of the project area. At the same time, different project activities pose safety concerns to the local people especially the children. It will be made mandatory for the prohibit or not to use Child labour in project construction.

Issue of scarcity of drinking water and degradation in its quality due to influx of people from outside

The influx of workers will result in added pressure on the drinking water infrastructure condition. Thus, the increase in population will further deteriorate efficiency of the existing drinking water supply service and sanitation condition. Sharing of limited resources and public facilities with outsiders may create problems and conflicts between outsiders and the locals.

CHAPTER- 5

RESETTLEMENT AND REHABILITATION PLAN

5.1 INTRODUCTION The Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project shall have impact on 157 villages in Bhadradri Kothagudem, Mahabubabad and in State of Telangana. The total private land to be acquired for the current project is 12138.96 acres (4855.584 ha). There are 9696 families that will be affected due to the acquisition of land in the area. Thus, all such properties that are likely to be impacted would require to be compensated. It is essential to spell out the loss which is likely to be incurred due to the process of land acquisition. This would enable project planners to either look for less impacting options or to take appropriate measures to devise suitable compensation and R&R package as a solace to the PAFs. This chapter details-out the enumeration of land that is likely to be affected due to the process of land acquisition for the Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project. The Compensation shall be awarded to the affected population on the guidelines of the “The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013”.The list of village private land been acquired is given in Tables-5.1.

Irrigation and CAD Department, SIA Study for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

CHAPTER–6 LOCAL AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN 6.1 INTRODUCTION The present chapter outlines the Local Area Development Plan (LADP) for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project. The objective of the plan is to empower the families of the study area villages and partially affected villages. Villages that would be fully affected, which need to be relocated, shall be provided R&R benefits as per the Policy and also other resettlement benefits. Contrarily, it is the project affected families residing in partially affected who are not likely to benefit from the proposed project except for compensation of their acquired properties, which would be mostly part of their lands. Thus, LADP is being framed to extend benefits to not only the residents of the partially affected villages, but also to residents of the villages adjoining to project area which are also within the study area villages. The following aspects have been covered under the Local Area Development Plan:  Educational Facilities  Health Care and Medical Facilities  Infrastructure Development  Economic Development  Social and Cultural Development A budget of 0.5% of the project cost has been earmarked for implementation of Local Area Development Plan (LADP). The total project cost accounts for Rs.13384.80 crores say 1338480 lakh. The 0.5% of the total project cost accounts for Rs.66.924 crore. 6.2 LOCAL AREA DEVELOPMENT PLAN 6.2.1 UPGRADATION OF EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES It is proposed to upgrade the primary schools in 40 villages in the periphery of the affected villages. The following activities are proposed under LADP activities:  Up-gradation of school furniture, equipment, infrastructure  Improvement of drinking water facilities It is suggested to up-grade school furniture, equipment, etc., and to improve drinking water facilities in one primary school in 40 study area villages. A lump-sum amount of Rs.10.0 lakh per primary school is being made for this purpose. The details are given in Table-6.1. Since 40 primary schools are to be upgraded, an amount of Rs.400.0lakh needs to be earmarked for this purpose. Table-6.1: Cost earmarked for up-gradation of existing primary schools S. Particular Amount Amount(Rs. lakh) No. (Rs. lakh) /school for 40 schools 1 Furniture & fixtures and equipment 5.0 200.0 2 Improvement of drinking water facilities 5.0 200.0 Total 10.0 400.0

The list of villages in which educational facilities are to upgraded shall be decided by the local administration. 6.2.2 SCHOLARSHIPS FOR STUDENTS It is suggested to provide scholarships for local students. On the one hand school going students who are presently studying between Class–I to Class-XII, scholarships are suggested for an amount of Rs.10000 per year for a period of 12 years may be extended as scholarship to about 1000 students in the Study Area Villages. On the other hand, scholarships are also suggested for students going in for higher studies.

CHAPTER – 7 MONITORING AND EVALUATIONS

Irrigation and CAD Department, SIA Study for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

CHAPTER-7 MONITORING AND EVALUATION 7.1 INTRODUCTION Monitoring is an essential component for sustainability of any water resources project. It is an integral part of any environmental assessment process. Any water resources development project introduces complex inter-relationships in the project area between people, various natural resources, biota and the developing forces. Thus, a new environment is created. It is very difficult to predict with complete certainty the exact post-project environmental scenario. Hence, monitoring of critical parameters is essential in the project operation phase. Monitoring of social indicators signal potential problems and facilitate timely prompt implementation of effective remedial measures. The data so generated can serve as a data bank for prediction of post-project scenarios in similar projects. 7.2 INSTITUTIONAL/ADMINISTRATIVE ARRANGEMENT FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF R&R MEASURES Appointment of Administrator at State Level  State shall appoint an officer not below the rank of Joint Collector or Additional Collector or Deputy Collector or equivalent official of Revenue Department, who will be responsible for R&R Plan at the State Level.  Administrator shall, with a view to enable him to function efficiently and to meet the special time-frame, be provided with such powers, duties and responsibilities as may be prescribed by the appropriate Government and provided with office infrastructure and be assisted by such officers and employees who shall be subordinate to him as the appropriate Government may decide.  Subject to the superintendence, directions and control of the appropriate Government and the Commissioner for Rehabilitation and Resettlement, the formulation, execution and monitoring of the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Scheme shall vest in the Administrator.

Commissioner for rehabilitation and Resettlement  The State Government of Telangana shall appoint an officer of the rank of Commissioner or Secretary of that Government for rehabilitation and resettlement of affected families under this Act, to be called the Commissioner for Rehabilitation and Resettlement.  The Commissioner shall be responsible for supervising the formulation of rehabilitation

WAPCOS Limited 7-1

Irrigation and CAD Department, SIA Study for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

and resettlement schemes or plans and proper implementation of each schemes or plans.  The Commissioner shall be responsible for the post implementation social audit in consultation with the Gram Sabha in rural areas and municipality in the urban areas. Rehabilitation Committee at Project Level  Where land proposed to be acquired is equal to or more than one hundred acres, the appropriate Government shall constitute a Committee under the chairmanship of the Collector to be called the Rehabilitation Committee, to monitor and review the progress of implementation of the Rehabilitation scheme and to carry out post-implementation social audits in consultation with the Gram Sabha in rural areas and municipality in urban areas.  The Rehabilitation Committee shall include, apart from officers of the appropriate Government, the following members, namely:- - representative of women residing in the affected area; - a representative of each schedule caste and schedule tribe residing in the affected area - a representative of a voluntary organization working in the area - a representative of a nationalized bank the land acquisition officer of the project - the chairperson of the panchayats or municipalities located in the affected area or their nominees - the chairperson of the district planning committee or his nominee - the Member of Parliament and Member of Legislative assembly of the concerned area or nominees - a representative of the requiring body - Administrator for Rehabilitation and Resettlement as the member Convener.  The procedure regulating the discharge of the process given in this section and other matters connected thereto of the Rehabilitation Committee shall be such as may be prescribed by the appropriate Government.

7.3 MONITORING AND EVALUATION Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) must be simultaneous with the implementation of Rehabilitation Plan. It requires specialized skill for application of general project monitoring procedures to the process of land acquisition and rehabilitation. Conventional monitoring,

WAPCOS Limited 7-2

Irrigation and CAD Department, SIA Study for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

normally carried out by the Government machinery, often misses focus on certain vital aspects and does not identify certain shortcomings, which may otherwise prove very important. While the conventional government monitoring will continue, an external M&E agency will also be engaged to help in proper monitoring of land acquisition and rehabilitation programs. The main purpose of involving such an agency is to bring the problems and difficulties faced by the PAFs to the notice of Administrator R&R on a regular basis for their redressal as well as to help in formulating and undertaking corrective measures. The external Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) agency can submit half yearly reports on the progress of implementing Rehabilitation Master Plan (RMP) along with suggestions and corrective measures required for improvement in the implementation of Rehabilitation Plan. For Land Acquisition and rehabilitation program, M&E system will consist of: i) Administrative monitoring; ii) Socio-economic performance, and iii) Impact evaluation. Administrative monitoring will be conventionally carried out by SLAO, project authorities, Resettlement Commissioner and other concerned government agencies/departments. The focus will be on physical (like number of land holders affected and land based resettlement, area identified for allotment to Village Level Committee, etc.) and financial (like compensation paid, payment to M&E agency, office establishment cost, etc.) parameters. The socio-economic monitoring which will be carried out concurrently is the crux of M&E exercise to provide interim measures based on the field level situations. This along-with impact evaluation at the end of plan period will be carried out by the M&E agency. While covering the affected community, monitoring will focus on the vulnerable groups like women, physically handicapped, etc. The household information collected through the socio-economic survey will form the benchmarks for comparison. However, these benchmarks will be supplemented in order to create new reference points against performance, effects and objectives. 7.3.1 Monitoring and Evaluation Guidelines Monitoring of the progress of R&R is important because of the sensitivity of these issues. The objective of monitoring is to assess the progress of resettlement activity, to identify difficulties, ascertain problem areas, and provide indication for the need of calling attention to some specific issues at an early stage.

WAPCOS Limited 7-3

Irrigation and CAD Department, SIA Study for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

Following tasks have to be performed by the group at different stages of the project:  Establish baseline information on individual PAFs and their pre-project standards of living, health conditions, nutritional patterns, etc. This should precede resettlement in general by a year.  The planning of the resettlement monitoring studies could cover disbursement of compensation and grants.  Monitoring of resettlement sites regarding, preparation of land, construction activities, water and other facilities required before the actual resettling of PAFs.  The resettlement monitoring system could cover transport of people, belongings and allocation of replacement assets. Their report should also include information on performance of field staff and concerned official’s participation of the PAFs and host community reactions.  After resettlement, a few sensitive indicators using sample survey techniques should be measured, mainly to understand how effective the R&R plan has been in reality.  The monitoring and evaluation can continue for several years after actual relocation. The frequency of monitoring can be reduced after the completion of R&R work. The monitoring reports need to be submitted periodically to assess progress of resettlement and its effects compared with established policy and specific timetables and benchmarks at each phase. 7.3.2 Post-Project Monitoring Status of availability of alternative homestead for project affected persons, development of infrastructural facilities such as schools, sewer networks, roads, etc. are some of the aspects which could be considered for monitoring and modifications may be suggested if required. It needs to be appreciated that R&R issues are politically and socially sensitive issues and need timely attention. For such reasons, it is suggested that the monitoring be conducted by an independent agency not connected with the project. Therefore, an independent Consultant having experience in monitoring & evaluation of implementation of Resettlement & Rehabilitation Plans in similar areas and not connected with the project, can be appointed for monitoring the project. The Consultant will review the rehabilitation and resettlement programme after 2nd, 4th and 6th year from the completion of the R&R activity. 7.3.3 Participation of PAFs Involvement of affected communities in planning and implementation of rehabilitation programs according to their felt needs and socio-economic conditions is of vital importance. To obtain co-

WAPCOS Limited 7-4

Irrigation and CAD Department, SIA Study for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

operation, participation and feedback, PAFs need to be systematically informed and consulted during preparation and implementation of resettlement plan about their options and rights. In the proposed project, co-operation and participation of PAFs in the resettlement process could be ensured through their involvement in each of the following stages.  Involvement in preparation of Rehabilitation Master Plan As a part of participatory planning, community meetings should be held on a routine basis to explain about the project and the R&R policy of the project. Direct communication with the PAFs will negate the politicization of the R&R Process. The communication with the PAFs can be through the Village Level Committee.  Involvement of PAFs in implementation process The Village Level Committee can be involved in the implementation of Rehabilitation Plan particularly during the identification of forest land to be allotted to Village Level Committee. They shall also be consulted in finding out alternative economic opportunities to supplement their household income. However, some NGO groups can also be associated which can interact directly with the project authorities and the affected population. 7.3.4 Parameters for Monitoring and Evaluation of R&R Plan Once the R&R Plan is implemented, affected families should not be forgotten. Their progress should be monitored, evaluated and recorded. This would greatly help the government or other organizations for further improving the Rehabilitation and Resettlement guidelines. It would form a basis of evaluating whether the resettlement has been a success or not. If the resettlement has not been successful, the answers would come out at this stage and the same mistakes can be avoided for other resettlement schemes. Priorities that would have to be monitored and evaluated are; is the family's income more or less in their new location? Do they inter-mingle with the host population? If not, why? Has their standard of living increased or decreased? Are health and education facilities more accessible to them? Have new opportunities come their way or have they stagnated? etc. Such questions would prove invaluable in assessing the success of the resettlement scheme. Progress report of their resettlers should be maintained. The progress report format should include among others the following: Total household covered under the Plan: (1) No of families (2) Population

WAPCOS Limited 7-5

CHAPTER-1 BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

CHAPTER-1 BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN 1.1 INTRODUCTION The need for conservation and management of biodiversity arises because of threats to natural terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems by anthropogenic activities. In the proposed project significant adverse impacts are anticipated as a result of construction and operation of the proposed Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project. The adverse impacts are likely to arise as a result of project road submergence of forest area, construction, blasting, excavation for quarrying, dumping of excavated material/muck and human population pressure on land and biological resources. In view of the foreseen disturbance and degradation of natural ecosystems, a Biodiversity Conservation and Management plan for proposed Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Stage-I project area has been proposed. 1.2 COMPENSATORY AFFORESTATION The total land to be acquired for the project is 8476.84 ha. The details of land acquisition are given in Table-1.1. Table-1.1: Details of land to be acquired for the project Component Forest (ha) Govt. land ha) Private (ha) Area (ha) Canal network 1923.29 1735.05 4733.15 8391.84 Other works 85 85 Total 1923.29 1735.05 4818.15 8476.84

The total forest area to be acquired is 1923.29 ha. There is no wildlife sanctuary, national park, etc. within the study area. No rare, endangered and threatened species are reported in the project area. The Indian Forest Conservation Act (1980) stipulates: - If non-forest land is not available, compensatory plantations are to be established on degraded forest lands, which must be twice the forest area affected or lost. - If non- forest land is available, compensatory forest are to be raised over an area equivalent to the forest area affected or lost. It is proposed to afforest double the amount of entire land being acquired for the project. Thus, a total of (1923.29*2) 3846.58 ha of land is proposed to be afforested. The afforestation work is to be done by the Forest Department. The total expenditure required for afforestation of 3846.58 ha of area will be Rs. 38.47 crore. In addition to above the project proponent will pay NPV and cost of trees to the Forest Department, which shall be estimated by the Forest Department, as a part of Forest clearance.

1.3 BIODIVERSITY MANAGEMENT PLAN For the promotion of the conservation and preservation the following measures are proposed for the Sita Rama LIP, Stage-I: 1.3.1 Forest Protection Plan About 1923.29 ha of forest area is proposed to be acquired for Sita Rama LIP, Stage-I. The following measures are proposed as a part of Forest Protection Plan:  Improvement of vigilance by procurement of field vehicles and motorbikes.  Organizing public awareness programmes, conducting training camps, preparation of, pamphlets, brochures, hoardings, etc.  Provision of fire lines within critical areas to protect the forest from accidental fires. The budget amounting to Rs. 2.0 crore has been earmarked for this purpose. 1.3.2 Safeguards during Construction Phase During the construction phase, various adverse impacts on the forests and wildlife are anticipated in the surrounding areas of the proposed project in terms of increased noise levels, land vibrations during controlled blasting, air pollution, etc. To avoid and minimize the negative impacts from these activities project authorities are advised to prepare strict guidelines as follows:  Strict restrictions shall be imposed on the workers at project sites to ensure that they do not harvest any species/produce from the forests and cause any danger or harm to the animals and birds in the wild.  The fuel wood to the labourers shall be provided by the project proponents so that there is no pressure for cutting of trees to meet fuelwood requirements.  The interference of human population would be kept to a minimum in the adjacent forest areas and it would be ensured that the contractors do not set up labour colonies/camps in the vicinity of forests and wilderness areas.  Only well maintained/new equipment that produces lesser noise would be installed at the work sites.  The best way to control the noise is at source. Certain equipment that needs to be placed permanently at one place like generators, etc. would be housed in enclosed structures to cut off the noise.  The heavy equipment like rotating or impacting machines will be mounted on anti-vibration mountings.

WAPCOS Limited 1-2

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

 Wherever combustion engines are required they will be fitted with silencers.  The traffic (trucks, etc.) of the project works will be managed to produce a smooth flow instead of a noise producing stop and start flow. Necessary training/orientation will be provided to the traffic operators/drivers. Sounding of loud horns, etc. in the forested areas should be banned.  Project authorities will use water sprinklers on the road to avoid the dust from construction activities. 1.3.3 Measures to improve habitat of avi-fauna Forests are vital for the survival, foraging, breeding and nesting of avifauna. Natural forests provide a variety of food materials to the birds not only in the form of nectar of flowers, fruits, seeds etc. in the trees, shrubs, herbs and grasses but they also contain a large number of insects eaten by birds. In the forests, food is always available for the faunal component. Although most floral species flower during spring through summer but fruit maturation and seed ripening takes place in them throughout the year. Another measure for habitat improvement for avi-fauna is to be installation of artificial nest boxes in the influence zone and catchment area of the project after consultation with the forest department as well as local NGOs. These nest boxes has been found to be quite beneficial for attracting hole nester birds. The size and capacity of boxes vary from one species to another. Features of a Nest Box: The characteristic features of nest box are listed below and shown in Figure 1.1.  Untreated wood (Jamun, mango, pine, cedar or fir)  Thick walls (at least ¾ inches)  Extended, sloped roof  Rough or grooved interior walls  Recessed floor, coated with primer and paint  Drainage holes  Ventilation holes  Easy access for monitoring and cleaning  Sturdy construction  No outside perches

The entrance hole should have a 2-inch diameter and 6 inch depth from entrance hole. Nest boxes are placed on trees at height from 10-12 ft. Such designs of nest boxes have been used successfully.

WAPCOS Limited 1-3

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

Figure 1.1: Nest Box It is proposed that one qualified person has to be hired for a period of five years. An amount of Rs.0.74 crore can be earmarked for habitat improvement of avi-fauna in the study area. The details are given in Table-1.2.

Table-1.2: Cost of habitat improvement for avi-fauna in the study area S.

CHAPTER-2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN LABOUR CAMPS

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

CHAPTER-2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN LABOUR CAMPS 2.1 INTRODUCTION The aggregation of large number of workers in the project area during the construction phase is likely to put considerable stress on the prevailing biotic and abiotic environment of the area. The stress could be on account of increased water demand, sewage and solid waste generation, fuel wood requirements etc. The aim of the EMP is to minimize these stresses. The construction activities are likely to be concentrated at various locations at dam site and along the canal alignment. The estimated peak labour force for the proposed project is around 1,500.The total increase in population shall be about 3,800. 2.2 HOUSING The aggregation of large number of workers (about 10,000) in the project area during the construction phase is likely to put considerable stress on the prevailing biotic and abiotic environment of the area. The aim of the EMP is to minimize these stresses. The construction activities are likely to be concentrated at various locations along the canal alignment. It has been observed during construction phase of many of the earlier water resources projects, that workers generally live in slum type conditions, with inadequate facilities for potable water and sanitation. Such conditions, coupled with lack of hygiene make the labour population prone to increased incidence of various water-borne and vector-borne diseases. It is proposed that it should be made mandatory for the contractor involved in the construction activities to provide adequate facilities for water supply and sanitation. It is recommended that the contractor provides living units of 30-40 m2 to each of the labour family involved in the constructionactivities. The unit should have proper ventilation. 2.3 WATER SUPPLY Appropriate water supply sources need to be identified. Proper infrastructure for storage and if required treatment such as disinfection or other units, should also be provided. 2.4 SEWAGE TREATMENT The labour population is proposed to be situated in existing colonies. One community toilet needs to be provided for 20 persons. The sewage from the community toilets can be treated in a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) comprising of aerated lagoon and secondary settling tank. The treated effluent can be used for meeting irrigation requirements of areas being afforested under greenbelt development. The total cost required shall be Rs.1.56crore. The details are given in Table-2.1.

2.6 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT The labour colonies will generate substantial amount of municipal wastes. Inview of the condition that normally exists in the labour camps of such projects,the solid wastesis likely to contain mainly vegetable matters followed by papercans and glasses. About 3,800 persons are likely to congregate during the construction phase at various construction sites resulting in generation of about 0.8 tonnes of solid waste/day. Adequate facilities for collection and conveyance of municipal wastes generated to the disposal site shall be developed. At each labour camp, covered trailers to collect the solid waste from the common collection point and transfer it to the disposal site needs to be put to service. Various aspects of solid waste management include:

 Refuse storage  Collection and Transportation  Disposal

Refuse Storage Normally, in a labour colony, the labour would be living in rows of houses, where it will be difficult to provide access for the collector, if each apartment has its own container. Thus, it is proposed to locate a separate common container for the storage of degradable and non- degradable solid wastes. The size and type of such common bins would depend on the refuse generated in the area, number of sweepings made and population served by the solid waste collector. Workers and their family members engaged in construction activities shall segregate the degradable and non-degradable solid waste in their houses, i.e. store them in separate bins. A person from each labour family shall unload the dust bins of their houses to the common bins for collection of degradable and non-degradable solid waste. Collection and Transportation In this system one solid waste collection tractor or trailer at various labour camps are proposed to be commissioned. They will travel on a regular route at prescribed intervals and stop at various common collection bins. For every situation, there is an optimum crew size, which requires the lowest total cost. The factors that determine the crew size are given as below:  Physical layout of the area and the distance to be walked for various elements.  System of collection used.  Loading/unloading condition, travel time for routes and dumping ground selected.

A crew of 6 to 8 persons may be needed.

CHAPTER-4 PUBLIC HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEM

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP forSita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

CHAPTER-4 PUBLIC HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEM 4.1 INTRODUCTION It is proposed to develop a Public Health delivery System for labour population and technical staff congregating in the area during construction phase. The local population can also avail benefit from this facility. The details of Public Health delivery System are presented in this Chapter. 4.2 PUBLIC HEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEM 4.2.1 Control of malaria The increase in water fringe area provides suitable habitats for the growth of vectors of various diseases, which is likely to increase the incidence of water-related diseases. Malaria could be the major vector-borne disease in the area. The main breeding seasons of the anopheline mosquito (malaria vector) are the months of September and March. The preferred habitat is stagnant or slow moving fresh water open to sunshine or moderate shade. Mosquito control and mosquito proofing measures can control malaria. Mosquito control measures aim at destroying the habitat and interrupting the life cycle by mechanical or biological or chemical means. A water resources project consists of various components and each requires a set of specific management measures. The anti-malarial operations can be coordinated by various Primary Health Centers in the command area villages and various district hospitals located within the command area. With the introduction of irrigation, urbanization and industrialization is expected in the command area. Hence, the municipal/ district administration should plan the new urban/trade centres/large human congregations so that they are at least 1.6 km (1 mile) away from the main canal and the distributaries. This will help in control of malaria, which has high prevalence in the project area. Development of medical facilities About 2000 labour and 500 technical staff is likely to be deployed during the peak construction phase. The total increase in population shall be about 10,000. The labour population will be concentrated at three to four sites. In the project area districts, there are hospitals with adequate health care facilities. However, it is proposed to develop 3 first-aid posts manned by a doctor each and support staff are recommended to be developed during construction phase. The first- aid posts should be located such that they are close to major construction sites.

WAPCOS Limited 4-1

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP forSita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

The details of manpower, infrastructure requirement for these first-aid posts are given as below: MANPOWER Doctors : 2 Qualification : M.B.B.S./M.D. The doctors employed in the dispensary, reside in the staff quarters adjacent to the dispensary. The para-medical staff required for assistance to these doctors is given in Table-4.1. Table-4.1:Details of Para-medical staff to be deployed Para medical staff Number Auxiliary Nurse 4 Attendant 4 Driver 1 Total 9

Infrastructure First-aid post :A semi-permanent building shall be constructed for each first-aid post. These posts will have the following facilities: - First aid post with essential medicines including ORS packets. - First aid appliances , splints and dressing material - Stretcher, wheel chair etc. The doctor posted at the first-aid posts, shall also coordinate the anti-malarial campaign be carried out under his immediate personal supervision. A systematic campaign shall be conducted in the months of March and September which are the breeding months of mosquito. Control of Anthropod-borne diseases The following actions need to be taken: - All the private doctors in the area are to be provided with chloroquine tablets and arrangements for collection of blood samples. - Few of the Primary Heath Centres to have Static Malaria Laboratory. - Regular check up, surveillance and immunization of mobile populations. Duties of Malaria Officer - Advise the project authorities in the prevention of mosquitogenic conditions. - Liaison with project officers in preventing/eliminate mosquiotogenic conditions in project area. - Coordination of insecticidal spray activities.

WAPCOS Limited 4-2

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP forSita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

Surveillance for malaria is very important as during the construction phase, stagnant pools for water, wastewater, etc. are created which can lead to greater incidence of malaria. One male multi-purpose health worker at the dispensary will visit the labour camps and surrounding areas once a fortnight and will enquire : - whether there is a case of fever in the house - whether there was a case of fever in the house between his previous visit and the present visit. If the answer to either of these two questions is `yes’ then the health worker will collect a blood sample and provide a single dose of chloroquine (600 mg for adults and proportionate dose for others) as a Presumptive Treatment. The blood sample will then be sent to laboratory at the dispensary for testing. If the test is positive then the infected person will be administered a course of Radical Treatment. There shall be regular fumigation and sprays of insecticides in the areas where water is likely to be stagnant, to prevent the growth of malarial larvae. The project proponents shall seek an expert opinion before selecting the appropriate insecticide for malaria control. Reduce exposure to mosquitoes Encourage prevention of mosquito-borne disease by helping people by reducing their exposure to mosquitoes during the day and at night. Work with the malaria control programme in the project area to:  popularize the use of bed net programme  conduct community education on the proper use of bed nets and how to avoid dawn-to dusk mosquito bites.  regular spray of insecticides.  implementation of various management measures for vector control (drainage, filling, of breeding, sites) as outlined in the earlier section. Vector control is still one of the major measures to control malaria in endemic area. The following measures are recommended: Anti-adult measures  Residual spraying with insecticides.  Space application of insecticides in the form of a fog or mist. The method has proved economical due to ultra low volume dispersion of pesticides in air.  Prevention of man-vector contact by use of repellents, protective clothing, bed nets, etc.

WAPCOS Limited 4-3

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP forSita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

Anti-larval measures  Use of larvicides at regular intervals.  Reduction of mosquitoes breeding sites by drainage or filling, deepening or flushing, management of water level, intermittent irrigation, etc.  Introduction of fish species in permanent water bodies which feed on mosquito larvae. Health Extension Activities The health extension activities will have to be carried out in the villages situated within the command area. It is important to inculcate hygienic habits of environmental sanitation specially with respect to water pollution by domestic wastes. There would be possibility of the transmission of communicable diseases due to migration of labour population from other areas at the construction site. The doctors from the dispensary constructed as a part of the project and other dispensaries in various command area villages will make regular visits to the villages and organize health promotional activities with the active participation of the local village leaders, NGOs and available local health functionaries. The health functionaries would undertake the following tasks as a part of health promotional activities: - Collect water samples to ascertain the potability of water from different sources so as to monitor regular disinfection of drinking water sources. - Maintain close surveillance on incidence of communicable diseases in these villages. - Maintain close liaison with the community leaders and health functionaries of different departments, so that they can be mobilized in case of an emergency.

Water-borne diseases Various measures recommended for control of water-borne diseases are given as below:  It is recommended that details of incidence of various water-borne disease in the command areas blocks be collected and analysed to defect any particular trend.  A detailed water quality monitoring programme be designed and implemented. In areas showing incidence of water-borne diseases, intensive water quality monitoring shall be done.

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP forSita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

CHAPTER-5 RESTORATION AND LANDSCAPING OF CONSTRUCTION SITES 5.1 INTRODUCTION The landscape and restoration plan targets towards overall improvement in the condition of the area. The landscape plan provides benefits to improve beautification and its utility. All the activities are aimed at restoring the areas where scars would be formed. The restoration would prevent soil erosion, enhance forest cover and stabilize degraded areas. 5.2 QUARRY DETAILS The masonry stone will be excavated from quarry no. 8, which is at a distance of 9 km from the site. Sand for construction will be extracted from quarry no. 7(i) and quarry no. 7(ii). The approximate lead is 5 km. The borrow material for head works too will be extracted for various quarries with an approximate lead distance using from 1.75 to 3 km. The details of various quarries and borrow areas are given in Table-5.1. Table-5.1: Details of various quarries and borrow areas S.No. Material Quarry Number Approximate lead Quantity (km) (lakh m3) 1 Stone Quarry No. 8 9 26.0 2 Sand Quarry No. 7 (i) 5 0.0375 Quarry No.7 (ii) 3 Casings Quarry No. 1 2.5 3.21 4 Moorun Quarry No. 2 3.0 9.10 5 Black Cotting soil Quarry No.3 1.75 6.28 Quarry No.5 Quarry No.6 Quarry No.8 6 Domat soil Quarry No.4 1.75 0.41

5.3 QUARRYING OPERATIONS A project of this magnitude would require significant amount of construction material. The aggregate requirement for concrete is proposed to be met from nearby quarries. The proposed project would require significant amount of fine material, which shall be met by crushing the aggregates. The quarrying operations are semi-mechanized in nature. Quarrying is normally done by cutting a face of a hill. A permanent scar is likely to be left, once quarrying activities are over. With the passage of time, the rock from the exposed face of the quarry under the action of wind and other erosion forces, get slowly weathered and after some time, they become a potential source of landslide. Thus it is necessary to implement appropriate slope stabilization measures to prevent the possibility of soil erosion and landslides in the quarry sites.

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP forSita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

5.4 RESTORATION PLAN FOR QUARRY SITE AND BORROW AREA The measures adopted for landscaping of these quarry sites have been described below: i) Measures to be adopted before quarrying The top 6-12” of soil will be removed before starting the quarrying activity or any other surface disturbance. This top soil will be kept separate and stock piled so that it can be reused after quarrying is over for rehabilitation of sites. ii) Measures to be adopted after quarrying Diversion of run off Effective drainage system will be provided to avoid the infiltration of run-off and surface waters into the ground of quarry sites. Garland drains around quarry site shall be constructed to capture the runoff and divert the same to the nearest natural drain. Filling of depressions Removal of rocks from quarry sites for different construction works will result in the formation of depressions and/or craters. These will be filled by the dumping materials consisting of boulders, rock, gravel and soil from nearby plant/working sites. Construction of retaining walls Retaining walls will be constructed at the filled up depressions of quarry sites to provide necessary support particularly where there are moderately steep slopes. In addition concrete guards, shall be constructed to check the soil erosion of the area. Rocks for landscaping After the quarrying activities are over, these sites will be splattered with the leftovers of rocks and boulders. These boulders and rocks can support the growth of mosses and lichens, which will act as ecological pioneers and initiate the process of succession and colonization. The boulders of moderate size will be used to line the boundary of a path. Laying of the top soil The depressions/craters filled up with rock aggregates will be covered with top soil. Fungal spores naturally present in top soil will aid plant growth and natural plant succession. The top soil will be further enriched by organic manure and Vesicular-arbuscularmycorrhizal (VAM) fungi. This will help in the process of soil reclamation and the early establishment of juvenile seedlings.

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

CHAPTER-6 GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT PLAN 6.1 INTRODUCTION The greenbelt development plan aims to overall improvement in the environmental conditions of the region. The plan with a five-fold objective addresses issues such as prevention of land degradation due to activities during construction phase; enhancing the forest cover for increasing the biodiversity of the region; providing aesthetic value to the project area and consequently inviting a proportionate tourist flux; enhancing the ecological equilibrium of the area; and to a large proportion in combating soil erosion. Although the forest loss due to reservoir submergence and other project appurtenances have been compensated as a part of compensatory afforestation. It is proposed to develop greenbelt around the periphery of various project appurtenances, selected stretches along reservoir periphery. 6.2 NEED FOR GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT PLAN Although the forest loss due to various project appurtenances have been compensated as a part of compensatory afforestation. However in addition to above, it is proposed to develop greenbelt around the perimeter of various project appurtenances, selected stretches along reservoir periphery, etc. The general consideration involved while developing the greenbelt are:

- Trees growing up to 10 m or above in height with perennial foliage should be planted around various appurtenances of the proposed project. - Planting of trees should be undertaken in appropriate encircling rows around the project site. - Generally fast growing trees shall be planted - Since, the tree trunk area is normally devoid of foliage upto a height of 3 m, it may be useful to have shrubbery in front of the trees so as to give coverage to this portion. The details of Greenbelt development are given as below:

 Plantation will be done along the boundaries of project colony  Inter-connecting/approach roads of various project components, within the colonies, working sites, etc. shall be covered with avenue plantation.  Available space within the colonies will be brought under Greenbelt for plantation of fruit, ornamental and shade trees along with shrubs, climbers etc. Fruit trees can be protected with angle iron guards.

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

CHAPTER-7 POLLUTION CONTROL AT CONSTRUCTION SITES 7.1INTRODUCTION The present chapter outlines various measures to control pollution during construction phase for following aspects of Environment:  Water Environment  Air Pollution control  Noise Pollution control 7.2 CONTROL OF WATER POLLUTION DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE During project construction phase, sufficient measures need to be implemented to ameliorate the problem of water pollution from various sources. The sewage generated from various labour camps shall be treated in sewerage treatment plants and disposed by discharging into nearest water body. However, efforts shall be made to discharge the treated effluent only in these water bodies, which are not used for meeting domestic water requirements.

The construction activities would require a crusher to crush large lumps of rocks to the requisite size for coarse as well as fine aggregates. The effluent generated from these crushers will have high-suspended solids. The effluent needs to be treated before disposal. Settling tanks of appropriate size for treatment of effluent from various crushers should be provided. The sludge from the various settling tanks can be collected once in 15 days and disposed at the site designed for disposal of municipal solid wastes from the labour camps. The sludge after drying could also be used as cover material for landfill disposal site. An amount of Rs. 0.15 crore needs to be earmarked for construction of various settling tanks. The dimensions of settling tank are given as below:  Length - 6 m  Width - 4 m  Depth - 3 m

7.3 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL In a water resources project, air pollution occurs mainly during project construction phase. The major sources of air pollution during construction phase are:  Fuel combustion in various construction equipment, e.g. crushers, drillers, rock bolters, diesel generating vehicles, etc.  Impacts due to vehicular movement

WAPCOS Limited 7-1

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

7.3.1 Control of Emissions Minor air quality impacts will be caused by emissions from construction vehicles, equipment and DG sets, and emissions from transportation traffic. Frequent truck trips will be required during the construction period for removal of excavated material and delivery of select concrete and other equipment and materials. The following measures are recommended to control air pollution:  The contractor will be responsible for maintaining properly functioning construction equipment to minimize exhaust.  Construction equipment and vehicles will be turned off when not used for extended periods of time.  Unnecessary idling of construction vehicles to be prohibited.  Effective traffic management to be undertaken to avoid significant delays in and around the project area.  Road damage caused by sub-project activities will be promptly attended with proper road repair and maintenance work. 7.3.2 Air Pollution control due to DG sets The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has issued emission limits for generators upto 800 KW and the same are outlined in Table-7.1. Table-7.1:Emission limits for DG sets prescribed by CPCB Parameter Emission limits (gm/kwhr) NOx 9.2 HC 1.3 CO 2.5 PM 0.3 Smoke limit* 0.7 Note : * Light absorption coefficient at full load (m-1)

The above standards need to be followed by the contractor while operating the DG sets. The other measures are recommended as below:

 Location of DG sets and other emission generating equipment should be decided keeping in view the predominant wind direction so that emissions do not effect nearby residential areas.

WAPCOS Limited 7-2

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

 Stack height of DG sets to be kept in accordance with CPCB norms, which prescribes the minimum height of stack to be provided with each generator set to be calculated using the following formula: H = h+0.2x √KVA H = Total height of stack in metre h = Height of the building in metres where the generator set is installed KVA = Total generator capacity of the set in KVA

7.3.3 Dust Control The project authorities will work closely with representatives from the community living in the vicinity of project area to identify areas of concern and to mitigate dust-related impacts effectively (e.g., through direct meetings, utilization of construction management and inspection program, and/or through the complaint response program). To minimize issues related to the generation of dust during the construction phase of the project, the following measures have been identified:  Identification of construction limits (minimal area required for construction activities).  When practical, excavated spoil will be removed as the contractor proceeds along the length of the activity.  When necessary, stockpiling of excavated material will be covered or staged offsite location with muck being delivered as needed during the course of construction.  Excessive soil on paved areas will be sprayed (wet) and/or swept and unpaved areas will be sprayed and/or mulched. The use of petroleum products or similar products for such activities will be strictly prohibited.  Contractors will be required to cover stockpiled soil and trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose materials (or require trucks to maintain at least two feet of freeboard).  Contractor shall ensure that there is effective traffic management at site. The number of trucks/vehicles to move at various construction sites to be fixed.  Dust sweeping - The construction area and vicinity (access roads, and working areas) shall be swept with water sweepers on a daily basis or as necessary to ensure that there is no visible dust. 7.4 BUDGET An amount of Rs. 1.00crore is earmarked for air pollution control. The details are given in Table- 7.2.

7.5 NOISE CONTROL MEASURES The contractors will be required to maintain properly functioning equipment and comply with occupational safety and health standards. The construction equipment will be required to use available noise suppression devices and properly maintained mufflers.  Vehicles to be equipped with mufflers recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.  Staging of construction equipment and unnecessary idling of equipment within noise sensitive areas to be avoided whenever possible.  Notification will be given to residents within 100 m of major noise generating activities. The notification will describe the noise abatement measures that will be implemented.  Monitoring of noise levels will be conducted during the construction phase of the project. In case of exceeding of pre-determined acceptable noise levels by the machinery will require the contractor(s) to stop work and remedy the situation prior to continuing construction. The following Noise Standards for DG sets are recommended for the running of DG sets during the construction:

 Maximum permissible sound pressure level for new diesel generator sets with rated capacity upto 1000 KVA shall be 75 dB(A) at 1 m from the enclosure surface.  Noise from the DG set shall be controlled by providing an acoustic enclosure or by treating the enclosure acoustically.  Acoustic Enclosure should be made of CRCA sheets of appropriate thickness and structural/ sheet metal base. The walls of the enclosure should be insulated with fire retardant foam so as to comply with the 75 dB(A) at 1m sound levels specified by CPCB, Ministry of Environment & Forests.

WAPCOS Limited 7-4

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

 Acoustic enclosure/acoustic treatment of the room should be designed for minimum 25 dB(A) Insertion Loss or for meeting the ambient noise standards, whichever is on the higher side.  DG set should also be provided with proper exhaust muffler.  Proper efforts to be made to bring down the noise levels due to the DG set, outside its premises, within the ambient noise requirements by proper siting and control measures.  A proper routine and preventive maintenance procedure for the DG set should be set and followed in consultation with the DG set manufacturer which would help prevent noise levels of the DG set from deteriorating with use.

Noise due to crushers Based on literature review, noise generated by a crusher is in the range of 79-80 dB(A) at a distance of 250 ft or about 75 m from the crusher. Thus, noise level at a distance of 2 m from the crusher shall be of the order of 110 dB(A). The exposure to labour operating in such high noise areas shall be restricted upto 30 minutes on a daily basis. Alternatively, the workers need to be provided with ear muffs or plugs, so as to attenuate the noise level near the crusher by atleast 15 dB(A). The exposure to noise level in such a scenario to be limited upto 4 hours per day. It is known that continuous exposure to noise levels above 90 dB(A) affects the hearing of the workers/operators and hence has to be avoided. Other physiological and psychological effects have also been reported in literature, but the effect on hearing acuity has been specially stressed. To prevent these effects, it has been recommended by international specialist organizations namely Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) that the exposure period of affected persons be limited as specified in Table-7.3. Table-7.3:Maximum Exposure Periods specified by OSHA Maximum equivalent continuous noise Unprotected exposure period per day for level dB(A) 8 hrs/day and 5 days/week 90 8 95 4 100 2 105 1 110 ½ 115 ¼ 120 No exposure permitted at or above this level

CHAPTER-8 ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

CHAPTER-8 ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES 8.1 INTRODUCTION Various construction and other activities of the proposed Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Scheme Phase-I project would lead to increased demand for fuel wood in the project area and its vicinity and would therefore exert pressure on forest areas located around the project. The major source of energy in the villages of the project area is fuel wood, acquirement of which is one of the main causes of ecological degradation and human drudgery. It is estimated that during the construction of the project, which would last for about 3 years, around 2,500 labour and technical staff will be working. The total increase in labour population shall be about 10,000. Majority of the labour force will be outsiders and it will be very important to meet their energy requirement in an ecologically sustainable manner. To provide an alternate for the energy requirement of the workers, contractor/s will be made responsible to provide subsidized kerosene/LPG to their workers which will in turn discourage them from illegal tree felling and removal of fuel wood and timber from the adjoining forests. Further, community kitchen facilities would also be provided to the labourers by the contractors. In addition to above, efforts would be made towards energy conservation by installing non- conventional energy sources as discussed in the subsequent paragraphs. Energy conservation measures would be implemented to ensure that the use of non-renewable resources is minimised. A key component of achieving energy conservation would be the development of an Energy Management Action Plan. This plan would be included as part of the Construction and Operational EMPs. The Energy Management Action Plan would be consistent with the energy conservation measures during both construction and operation phase. 8.2 ENERGY CONSERVATION DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE The following energy conservation measures would be undertaken during construction works:  Efficient work scheduling and methods that minimize equipment idle time and double handling of material  Throttling down and switching off construction equipment when not in use  Switching off truck engines while they are waiting to access the site and while they are waiting to be loaded and unloaded  Switching off site office equipment and lights and using optimum lighting intensity for security and safety purposes

WAPCOS Limited 8-1 Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

 Careful design of temporary roads to reduce transportation distance  Regular maintenance of equipment to ensure optimum operations and fuel efficiency  The specification of energy efficient construction equipment. 8.3 ENERGY CONSERVATION DURING OPERATION PHASE The following energy conservation measures would be implemented during operation phase:  Use of CFL lights up to maximum possible extent.  Awareness about the use of CFL lights by locals.  Development of heating, cooling and lighting use in buildings through climate- responsive design and conservation practices.  Employing renewable energy sources such as day lighting and passive solar heating.  Optimizing building performance and system control strategies, such as controlling lights with occupancy sensors and controlling comfort.  Maximizing the use of solar power for signage and pedestrian lighting.  Designing roads on site to reduce transportation distances. 8.4 BUDGET An amount of Rs.0.5 crore has been earmarked for implementation of Energy Conservation Measures.

CHAPTER-9 PUBLIC AWARENESS PROGRAMME

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

CHAPTER-9 PUBLIC AWARENESS PROGRAMME

9.1 INTRODUCTION

The aggregation of large number of works and technical labour in the project area during the construction phase increases their vulnerability to catch Sexually Transmitted Disease and HIV/AIDS. The aim of the EMP is to aware the workers and technical labour about the HIV/AIDS. It should be made mandatory for the contractor to provide sufficient awareness and follow the control measures for HIV/AIDS suggested by National or State AIDS Control Organization. 9.2 OBJECTIVES OF AWARENESS PROGRAMME The main objective is to slow down the spread of HIV/AIDS infection through creation of awareness and aiming at behavioral change. The awareness programme has the following components:  Ensuring Blood Safety  Control of sexually transmitted diseases  Public awareness and community support.  Ensuring blood safety The training programe for the doctors and the blood bank staffs in consultation with National or State AIDS Control Organization which includes the diagnosis of AIDS cases, mandatory licensing of blood banks and promotion of voluntary blood donation.  Control of Sexually Transmitted Diseases The main strategy for prevention and control of HIV/AIDS is to control of sexually transmitted diseases in the labour camp by the suggested measures of National or State AIDS Control Organization  Public awareness and community support A wide campaign using various media to spread awareness about the HIV/AIDS in the project area shall be taken up as Environmental management programme. This includes the use of radio, print media and folk theatre by the contractor and project proponent. The counseling centre shall be set up in government Hospital at Tikamgarh, which have the following objectives to:  provide pre-test, post-test, follow-up, general and family counselling to general public, workers and technical staff coming to the hospital.  provide support services and after care services for HIV positive clients.

WAPCOS Limited 9-1 Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

 disseminate information regarding STD, HIV/AIDS and measures suggested by National or State AIDS Control Organization. Measures for AIDS Control The following measures are recommended for AIDS control : - Prevention - Anti retroviral treatment - Primary health care

The above referred approaches for implementation in the project area are described briefly in the following paragraphs : Prevention  Awareness programme educating people to enable them to make life saving need to be implemented.  Intravenous drug users to be informed about the perils of sharing of needles.  Use of various modes of media to educate people on AIDS, its nature, transmission and prevention.  People in high risk groups to be refrained from donating blood, body organ, etc.  Strict sterilization practiced to be ensured in hospitals and dispensaries.  Pre-sterlized or disposable syringes to be used as far as possible. Anti-retroviral treatment At present there is no vaccine or cure for treatment of HIV infection/AIDS. However, drugs that suppress the HIV infection rather than its complications can be used for prolonging the life of terminally ill patients. Primary health care AIDS touches all aspects of primary health care, including mother and child, family planning and education. Thus, it is recommended that the AIDS control programme integrates various related issues into country’s primary health care system. The AIDS control and awareness programs, developed by National Aids Control Organization (NACO) need to be strictly implemented in the project area as well. In addition to primary health care, it is also recommended that the workers should be made aware not to hurt the traditional cultural and regions customs and practices. 9.3 BUDGET An amount of Rs. 0.5 crore has been earmarked for public awareness programme among the workers and technical labours about the HIV/AIDS in the project area.

CHAPTER-10 AGRICULTURE IMPROVEMENT PLAN

Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

CHAPTER-10 AGRICULTURE IMPROVEMENT PLAN 10.1 INTRODUCTION As a part of the EMP, various measures have been suggested to improve agricultural practices in the area. These include:  Improved agricultural practices  Integrated Plant and Nutrient Management  Biological control of pests and diseases  Soil conservation  Pasture development  Use of agro-chemicals  Control of weeds on agricultural lands  Training & Extension courses for farmers 10.2 IMPROVED AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES Normally introduction of irrigation, in command area of any irrigation project leads to a genetic erosion and a large number of traditional strains of crops give way to identical high yielding varieties. Such phenomenon makes the crops prone to attack by fewer strains of virus, fungus etc. and provides little chance to develop newer varieties of crop to fight future adverse environmental conditions. To develop a suitable EMP, to negate the above adverse impact may not be an easy task, as the concept is yet to take roof in India. Quite a few institutions in the country are doing significant research in the area, and their help can be taken i.e. Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI). Likewise, the services of Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) which has a Centre at can also be used. 10.3 INTEGRATED PLANT AND NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT Under the best farming practices, only 40-50% of the applied fertilizers are used by the crop and the balance find their way into the aquatic environment through drainage runoff. Besides eutrophication of neighboring water bodies through washing down of fertilizers and organic matter rich in nutrients from the surrounding agricultural fields, the soil productivity is also threatened due to continuous overdosing of fertilizers. IPNM approach would be useful for building soil productivity and improving crop yields. IPNM is an approach for maintenance or adjustment of soil fertility in relation to plant nutrient supply at an optimum level for sustaining desired crop productivity. This is done through optimization of the benefits from all possible sources of plant nutrients in an integrated manner.

WAPCOS Limited 10-1 Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

Some of the benefits of the IPNM are listed as below:  Helps achieve highest production per unit of investment by way of reducing unavoidable losses due to leaching and volatilization.  Helps reduce toxicity, which happens due to excessive use of single nutrients.  Helps in quality production besides enhancement of Benefit Cost (B/C) ratio.  Provides natural safeguard against biotic and abiotic stresses.  Soils using only chemical fertilizer exhibit declining productivity per unit of plant nutrient used.  Using only major nutrients (NPK) results in deficiencies of micro and secondary nutrients.  Helps maintain soil health through organic matter and results in better fertilizer use efficiency.  Organic manures and plant residues are available locally and thus if managed properly are cost effective. Maintenance of soil health with maximum use of organic manure and recycling of organic waste along with chemical fertilizers and bio-fertilizers in an integrated manner is environmentally sound and cost effective alternative. 10.4 BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF PESTS AND DISEASES 10.4.1 Components of IPM The major components of IPM in increasing order of complexity are given in Table-10.1. Table-10.1: Major Components of IPM IPM Component Notified Component Practices Cultural  Preparation of nurseries or main fields free from pest infestation by practices removing plant debris, trimming of bunds, treating of soil and deep summer ploughing which kills various stages of pests. Proper drainage system in field be adopted.  Testing of soil for nutrients deficiencies on the basis of which fertilizers should be applied.  Selection of certified seeds and treating seeds with fungicide or biopesticides before sowing for seed borne disease control.  Selection of seeds of relatively pest resistant/tolerant varieties which play a significant role in pest suppression.  Adjustment of time of sowing and harvesting to escape peak season of pest attack.  Rotation of crops with non-host crops. It helps in reduction of incidence of soil borne diseases.  Proper plant spacing which makes plants more healthy and less susceptible to pests.  Optimum use of fertilizer. Use of FYM and biofertilizers should be encouraged.

WAPCOS Limited 10-2 Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

IPM Component Notified Component Practices  Proper water management (alternate wetting and drying to avoid water stagnation) as the high moisture in soil for prolonged period is conducive for development of pests especially soil borne diseases.  Proper weed management. It is well known fact that most of weeds besides competing with crop for micronutrients also harbour many pests.  Root dip or seedling treatment in pest infested area.  Inter-cropping or multiple cropping wherever possible. All the crops are not preferred by each pest species and certain crops act as repellents, thus keeping the pest species away from preferred crops resulting in reduction of pest incidence.  Harvesting as close as to ground level. This is because certain developmental stages of insect/pests/diseases remain on the plant parts which act as primary inoculum for the next crop season. Hence, harvesting crops at ground level will lessen the incidence of pests in next season.  Before planting, nursery plants be sprayed/dipped in copper fungicide/biopesticide solutions to protect the plants from soil borne diseases.  Keeping bee hives or placing flower bouquets of pollinizer cultivars facilitate better pollination and subsequent fruit set. Mechanical  Removal and destruction of egg masses, larvae, pupae and adults of practices insect pests and diseased parts of plants wherever possible.  Installation of bamboo cage cum bird perchers in the field and placing parasitized egg masses inside them for conservation of natural enemies and withholding of pest species wherever possible.  Use of light traps and destruction of trapped insects.  Installation of bird scarer in the field where required.  Installation of bird perchers in the field for allowing birds to sit and feed on insects and their immature stages viz., eggs, larvae and pupae.  Use of pheromone traps for monitoring and suppression of pest population. Genetical  Selection of high yielding varieties for different crops practices  Selection of comparatively pest resistant/tolerant varieties Chemical  Use of chemical pesticides is the last resort when all other methods fail practices to keep the pest population below economic loss. Although there is a great advancement in pest management research, yet pesticides would continue to play an important role in crop protection in view of complexity of pest problems. Therefore, use of pesticides should be need based, judicious, based on pest surveillance and economic threshold level (ETL) to minimise not only the cost involved, but also to reduce associated problems, following aspects need to be considered:  ETL and pest defender ratio must be observed  Relatively safer pesticides should be selected e.g. neem based and biopesticides.  If pest is present in strips or isolated patches, whole field should net be sprayed.

10.5 SOIL CONSERVATION The irrigated lands can be cultivated with seasonal crops to protect the fields from erosion. They also help in absorption of plant nutrients that otherwise would have been lost by leaching. Green manure crops can be used for this purpose. Rotation of crops can also be practised because it reduces runoff and soil loss. The barren/fallow lands or wastelands can be afforested under social forestry programme or can be developed as pasture lands under various social welfare schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Yojna (PMRY)), Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP), etc. The social forestry system has a direct bearing on agricultural production. The tree and grass cover increases the nutrient status of the soil by stimulating bacterial activity and supplementing the agricultural production in the form of grass and top feed as fodder. The species selected for social forestry should be chosen in such a way that they are compatible and complementary to each other. The species that are chosen to be grown in conjunction with the agricultural crops should have the following characteristics: - tree should have small and attenuated crown which allows light to filter through; - phenology of the trees particularly with respect to leaf flushing and falling should be advantageous to the growth of annual crops in conjunction with which they are raised; - the above-ground changes over time in structure and morphology should be such that they retain or improve these characteristics which reduce competition for solar energy, nutrients and water; - should possess self-pruning characteristics; - rate of litter fall decomposition should have positive effects on the soil; - root system and root growth characteristics should ideally result in the exploitation of soil layer that are different from those being tapped by the agricultural species. 10.6 PASTURE DEVELOPMENT One of the chief causes of soil erosion and degradation is the grazing of land which results in loss of is the loss of plant cover. This could be due to overgrazing and poor management practices that expose the ground to wind and rain. The improvement in irrigation facilities can be used to develop pastures over culturable wastelands which can be brought under pasture development. This will increase the fodder production significantly and reduce the pressure on existing forests and help in their better growth and regeneration. The following aspects of pasture development are recommended for implementation:

WAPCOS Limited 10-4 Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana

Time of sowing: seeding is to be done when the soil moisture and temperature are sufficiently high to permit rapid germination. Hence, in the command area of the proposed Irrigation Project, it is proposed that seeding may be done in the monsoons. Soil working: soil should be completely worked and unwanted bushes and weeds be removed before seeding. Depth of sowing: seeds of perennial grasses are small, hence they must not be sown too deep, otherwise the seeding will fail to reach the surface. Under field conditions, the sowing depth should be about 5 cm. Seed rate : optimum seed rate should be about 5 to 6 kg/ha. Spacing : An optimal spacing of 50 to 75 mm between the rows can be adopted. Fertilization : Protein content of high yielding perennial grasses ranges from 6 to 12 percent. It is also observed that the protein contents in fertilized pasture is higher than the grasses which are grown over unfertilized pastures. The yield of species significantly increases by 25 to 50% with the application of nitrogen at the rate of 20-25 kg/ha. The nitrogenous fertilizers can be applied in combination with phosphorus or otherwise. Introduction and maintenance of top feed tree species: some trees in pastures can be grown to provide shade to the grazing animals and top feed during lean periods. The dependability of nutrients in the dry forage of the pastures remains very poor during January to June. During this period these trees can provide top feed through leaves which also have a good nutrient content. 10.7 USE OF AGRO-CHEMICALS A great deal of attention has been focused on agro-chemicals especially on pesticides as these are supposed to be carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic and allergenic. The following measures are recommended to prevent pollution and associated adverse impacts due to over- use of agro-chemicals:  Soil should be tested to analyse the nutrients before each cropping season and the fertilizer dose shall be fixed considering the concentration of soil nutrients and the type of crops to be grown.  Organic manures should be used in place of chemicals fertilizers, Agronomic practices such as crop rotation and green cover mulching which reduce the dependence on chemical fertilizers should be incorporated in the cropping pattern itself.

 Land conservation measures suggested as a part of watershed management are effective in controlling erosion by surface runoff. The agro-chemicals clinging to the eroded soil material is prevented from reaching the surface waters. 10.8 CONTROL OF WEEDS ON AGRICULTURE LANDS Measures against weeds comprise mechanical (cultivation and mowing), cultural or cropping, biological and chemical means. Mechanical Methods Hand weeding is the most efficient method, but it is back-breaking, time-consuming and costly. Further, high wages paid to the hired labour narrow down the profits of the cultivator. Cultural or cropping methods The farming practices are capable of changing the condition in such a way so as to enable the crop plants to compete with weeds successfully or to reduce their interference to the minimum and thus preventing them from acting as impediments to increased crop production. Seeds with good germination will give the crop a vigorous and close stand and thus enable it to steal a march on the weeds. Chemical methods The controlling of weeds in the growing crops with weedicides increases their yields and ensures the efficient use of irrigation, fertilizers and plant protection measures 10.9 TRAINING AND EXTENSION COURSES FOR FARMERS The change from rainfed to irrigated cropping requires extension, training and demonstration programmes for farmers. Considering these aspects it is proposed that the project authorities need to provide adequate training to farmers. The training must include the following aspects of environmental protection:  Prevention of spread of water related diseases;  Safe use of agro-chemicals, and  Environmental conservation programmes. Measures under prevention of spread of water related diseases must deal with :  Hygeine and personal health care;  Control of water spills, pudding etc.;  Prevention and prophylactic measures for control of vectors;  Disposal of human waste, and  Disposal of drainage water.

WAPCOS Limited 10-6 Irrigation and CAD Department, EMP for Sita Rama Lift Irrigation Project, Govt. of Telangana Phase-I, Telangana
