Task Force constituted by Govt. of India also equivocally opined for implementation of such multipurpose projects for ensuring flood moderation benefits Funding pattern of the W R Dept State Plan Central Loan Assistance (CLA) /Central Sector Schemes (CSS)/ Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) Additional Central Assistance (ACA) Calamity Relief Fund (CRF) / (NCCF) North Eastern Council (NEC) Non-lapsable Central Pool of Resources (NLCPR) Joint River Commission (JRC) Assistance from external agencies (NABARD) 5 TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATION 9 Task force recommendation for taking up Flood Management Measures as short term I and short term II has not been fully operationalised as yet. 9 During 10th Five year Plan (2006-07), only 22 Cr has been sanctioned for 10 numbers of flood management schemes. 9 The state govt strongly desires that recommendations of the Task Force should be implemented during 11th Five year Plan. Accordingly the proposal has been framed and is being submitted to the Brahmaputra Board / Ministry of Water Resources. Future Perspective and Vision ¾ The short term measures undertaken by the dept has afforded reasonable protection to 16.49 Lakh Hectare flood affected area out of 31.50 Lakh Hectare (about 52%) flood prone area of the state. ¾ It has been realised that the flood and erosion problem of the state cannot be solved unless the long term measures, as suggested by the National Flood Policy (1954) and recommendations of master plan of Brahmaputra and task force are implemented. ¾ Since the long term measures are not coming up very soon, the state need to continue with the feasible short and medium term measures for at least next 15 years. ¾ For this, the department has chalked out a Comprehensive Vision plan considering the developmental prospects and the growth of population in the state. 6 Vision Plan 2020 Rs in lakh Category of Schemes Priority-I Priority-II Total Estimated Cost STRUCTURAL MEASURES EMDANKMENT (in km) New embankment 94.00 km 100 km 194.00 km 26210.00 Gap closing/retirement 175.00 km --- 175.00 km 7964.00 Re-Strengthening (R/S) 2464.40 --- 2464.40 km 52347.00 km Town Protection works (No) 13 No 51No 64 No 11857.00 Anti- erosion Works (No) 79 No 323 No 402 No 64848.00 Drainage schemes (No/km) 43 No 212 km 43 No, 212 km 17237.00 Sluices (No) 63 No 42 No 105 No 8932.00 Unidentified schemes 1100.00 NON STRUCTURAL MEASURES Raised platform (No) 30 No 304 No 334 No 10353.00 Flood Forecasting & insurance CWC Govt. of India is responsible Flood Plain Zoning, Flood Risk Maps 500.00 Research & Development, 5000.00 Organisational infrastructure, Hydrological Analysis, investigation and planning of new schemes Total 206348.00 Vision Plan 2020 The Government of Assam has already embarked upon an ambitious mega project titled NORTH EASTERN INTEGRATED FLOOD AND RIVERBANK EROSION MITIGATION PROJECT. The salient features of this project are- Funding Agency: Asian Development Bank (ADB) Nodal Agency: Ministry of DoNER Estimated Cost: Rs 1600 crores (in Assam) Expected investment To be decided by ADB & Govt. of India Implementing Agencies Govt. of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh in their states Status ADB has already sanctioned Project Preparation and Technical Assistance (PPTA) for the part relating to Assam. The PPTA will start from the1st week of April 2007. Accordingly Draft Project Report of four selected projects has been submitted to the ADB 7 Proposed project site at Oakland-to Mohanaghat BRAHMAPUTRA RIVER BASIN area Proposed project site at Bandana-Matmara-Tekeliphuta area Proposed project site at Proposed project site at Bonkoal-Mariahola-Difflopathar Palasbari-Gumi and area adjoining area NORTH-EAST WATER RESOURCES AUTHORITY (NEWRA) 9 The Hon’ble Prime Minister during his visit to Assam on Nov 2004 announced establishing a cohesive, autonomous, self- contained entity called North East Water Resources Authority (NEWRA). 9 The formation of the NEWRA is in advance stage and active consideration of Govt. of India. 9 This Authority will go a long way in proper utilization and harnessing water resources of the entire North Eastern region and will help in speedier implementation of the plans and programmes so envisaged. 9 Hon’ble Prime Minister further reiterated during the conference of Irrigation Ministers’ at New Delhi on Nov 2005 the need for the creation of NEWRA for fostering the developmental process in N. E. Region. 8 FLOODS AND EROSION (Causes) Physiographic condition of the valley Narrow elongated U-shaped valley opening towards the Bay of Bengal branch of approaching Monsoons AVERAGE WIDTH Valley : 80 to 90 Km, RIVER BRAHMAPUTRA River : 6 to 10 Km BED SLOPE Int. Border to Kobo: 1 in 2390 Kobo to Dhubri: 1 in 6990 DISCHARGE at Pandu Max: 72,794 cumes (1962) Min: 2,300 cumes (Jan/Feb) 9 FLOODS AND EROSION (Causes) Physiographic condition of the valley ELEVATION VS DISTANCE OF THE BRAHMAPUTRA RIVER COURSE FLOODS AND EROSION (Causes) Drainage congestion High stages of the Brahmaputra river over prolonged periods obstruct free discharge of tributaries causing back flow and congestion near outfalls. Restricted waterway of road and railway bridges and culverts obstruct the natural flow of water. Inadequate countryside drainage through sluices in embankment system particularly during high floods causes prolonged inundation in the countryside. Encroachment of natural drainages further aggravates the situation. 10 FLOODS AND EROSION (Causes) Geology and Geomorphology Lesser Himalayas comprise of relatively younger rock formations and are in the process of building up. Friable in nature and easily erodible & prone to landslides. A very young river. Its present configuration took shape only during the Pleistocene and recent times FLOODS AND EROSION (Causes) Excessive Rainfall Excessive rainfall concentrated during the monsoon months from May to October Mean annual rainfall over the catchments area in India is around 2300 mm Mean annual rainfall varies between 2480 mm in the Brahmaputra valley to 6350 mm in North Eastern Hills. 11 FLOODS AND EROSION (Causes) Seismicity and Landslides Brahmaputra Valley is subjected to frequent tectonic activity. The valley falls under Zone V, which is highly risk zone. Some of the recent major earthquakes of this region are: Great Indian Earthquake-1897 (8.7) Srimangal Earthquake-1918 (7.6) Dhubri Earthquake-1930 (7.0) Assam Earthquake-1950 (8.6) and Indo-Burma Earthquake-1988 (7.0). FLOODS AND EROSION (Causes) Seismicity and Landslides Frequent tectonic activity causes geo morphological changes and landslides. Excessive sediment charge causes rivers to change course frequently. Carrying capacity is reduced thereby river either spills its banks or erodes.
