Karnataka in the Past Two Years, Under the Stewardship of Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa Introduction “Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.” Swami Vivekananda For a State an idea means a manifestation, the conjunction of the wish to reach out to the last person within a geographical limit and the aspiration for complete well-being. Therefore, when Swami Vivekananda speaks of an idea taking over ones very existence, for a State it would mean a well-balanced, inclusive approach, according to certain standards and ideals, where governance and modernity are intrinsic. This has been the story of the grand State of Karnataka in the past two years, under the stewardship of Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa. To exemplify, the State’s Capital and showcase city of Bangalore, according to the global list of cities compiled by HR Consultancy Mercer for 2010, has climbed a couple of notches and continues to be the best place to live in among Indian cities. Bangalore’s ranking is but the reflection of exemplariness and distinction Karnataka has earned within the Union of India. In the past two years the State has raked an impressive Rs. 5 lakh crore industrial growth, in spite of the global financial crisis, to remain in the forefront as one of the most-developed States in the country. Karnataka’s renewed developmental thrust in the past two years shows in its governance, driven by the technology of the times and the best practices across the globe. In a short span, the State Government has been able to make it clear on the ground that a holistic intra-State approach is the only way to emulate its own Bangalore and information technology success stories. The Government has successfully put in place the new Industrial Policy 2009-14, an effort to enhance industry’s share in the Gross State Domestic Product to 20% by 2014, generate 10 lakh jobs, double the State's exports from the current level of Rs. 1,30,000 crore, focus on providing quality infrastructure, focus on skill development and entrepreneurship, and enhance the development of micro, small and medium enterprises. It is to the Government’s credit that the Global Investors Meet 2010 has already garnered investments worth Rs 3.5 lakh crore,which in turn is expected to create 6.53 lakh employment Mangaloreopportunities. The new industrial policy is aimed at making the State Home to 700 MNCs and 87 Fortune 500 companies, Karnataka prosperous through development of human and natural is a State with varied agricultural and mineral resources, and resources in a systematic, scientific and sustainable manner. strong manufacturing capabilities.

  • Water Resources Department Performance Budget
    GOVERNMENT OF KARNATAKA WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT (MAJOR, MEDIUM IRRIGATION AND CADA) PERFORMANCE BUDGET 2017-18 JUNE 2017 1 PREFACE The Administrative Reforms Commission set up by the Government of India, inter alia, recommended that Department/Organizations of both the Centre and the States, which are in charge of development programmes, should introduce performance budgeting. In accordance with this suggestion, the Water Resources Department has been publishing performance budget from the year 1977-78. The performance budget seeks to present the purpose and the objective for which funds are requested, the cost of the various programmes and activities and quantitative data, measuring the work performed or services rendered under each programme and activity. In other words, performance budget represents a work plan conceived in terms of functions, programmes, activities and projects with the financial and physical aspects closely interwoven in one document. It may be mentioned here that, in the performance budget compiled now, an attempt has been made to relate the traditional budget to the programmes and activities. Suggestions for improvements are welcome and these would be gratefully received and considered while publishing the performance budget in the coming years. Bangalore Principal Secretary to Government June 2017 Water Resources Department 2 INTRODUCTION Performance budgeting helps in focusing attention on programmes, activities and their costs as also the performance in both physical and financial terms. Having regard to the merits of the technique, the Government of Karnataka has decided to adopt the system. As is inherent in the technique of performance budgeting, programme has been presented giving brief particulars of the programme, irrigation potential activity, classification and source of finance.

  • “Runoff Modeling in Ghataprabha Sub Basin for Climate Change Scenario”
    “Runoff Modeling in Ghataprabha Sub basin for Climate Change Scenario” By Nagraj S. Patil , Mr. Nataraj, A. N. B. Gowda, Nagendra VISVESVARAYA TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND LAND MANAGEMENT Centre for P.G. Studies VTU Belagavi Motivation….. Climate change can be sum up to measurable difference in the values of atmospheric variables such as precipitation, temperature, humidity, wind, solar radiation, atmospheric pressure and other meterological variable over a long period of time. Thus, it is important to quantify the impacts of climate change to frame mitigation and adaptation measures. Hydrological modeling of water cycle in areas with extreme events and natural hazards (e.g., flooding, droughts) is imperative for sustainable management of soil and water resources. Understanding water resources availability would help stakeholders and policymakers to plan and develop an area. The distributed hydrological model can also be used for climate change impact on surface runoff and water availability in the basin catchments. The main aim of this study is to predict surface runoff in the Ghataprabha sub basin catchment using hydrological model SWAT. Objectives The main aim of the study is to simulate the runoff over a Ghatapraha sub basin. Following are the specific objectives are to be achieved. • Multi-site calibration and validation of SWAT Model for Ghataprabha sub basin for the monthly discharge. • Downscaling of climate variables (precipitation, temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation and wind speed) for the Ghataptabha sub basin. • To simulate the surface runoff for the Ghataprabha sub basin using downscaled data from 2021- 2100. • Simulate of streamflow at the four discharge gauge (Bagalkot, Gokak falls, Gotur and Daddi) stations.

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