  • Geotechnical Investigations for the Kosi - Mechi Link Canal Project
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR RESEARCH IN EMERGING SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, VOLUME-3, ISSUE-2, FEB-2016 E-ISSN: 2349-7610 Geotechnical Investigations for the Kosi - Mechi Link Canal Project Dr. R. Chitra1, Dr. Manish Gupta2, Shahid Noor3 and Harbir Singh4 1Group Head, Central Soil and Materials Research Station, New Delhi, India [email protected] 2Divisional Head, Central Soil and Materials Research Station, New Delhi, India [email protected] 3Scientist, Central Soil and Materials Research Station, New Delhi, India [email protected] 4Scientist, Central Soil and Materials Research Station, New Delhi, India [email protected] ABSTRACT The acute spatial and temporal variations in precipitation patterns have greatly influenced water resources planning, management, and development in India. Specifically, these patterns have led to the development of several water transfer projects in the country. The spatial and temporal variations in the rainfall over India has led to denotation of water ‘surplus’ and water scarce river basins in the country. The project for interlinking the rivers in India aims at transferring water from water ‘surplus’ to the water scarce basins. The river Kosi, often referred to as the ‘Sorrow of Bihar’ ha surplus amount of water and creates devastation in Bihar state during the floods. Therefore, the Government of Bihar has an ambitious plan to link its rivers and tame the Kosi river. The Kosi – Mechi link canal project is proposed as a relief to the problems experienced by the state. The implementation of Kosi – Mechi link canal project will overcome the acute problem of shifting of course of Kosi river, heavy sediment load, flooding etc.

  • Historical Geography and Demography of Colonial Northern Bengal
    Chapter I Historical Geography and Demography of Colonial Northern Bengal The present chapter seeks to historicize the geographical transformations and ecological vulnerabilities during the colonial periods in northern Bengal. The chapter also intends to explain the demographic transformations of northern Bengal shaped by the environmental factors and natural disasters occurred during the period of the study. Apart from the geographical and demographical changes the chapter will also focus on the political construction of the northern Bengal districts which had gone through several territorial and administrative adjustments and transfers of lands among each other even in the first half of the twentieth century. In order to analyse the geographical characteristics, the river system, change of river course and formation of new lands seemed to be the most decisive factor for the geographical construction of the region. Northern Bengal had a great variety of topographical structures which extended from the Darjeeling Himalayan ranges to the riverine inundated agricultural tracts. Niharranjan Ray, while describing the northern boundary of Bengal, has argued that the north of Bengal is bounded up by the Sikkim and the snowy Himalayan peak of Kanchenjungha below which there are Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling districts.1 The districts of Jalpaiguri, Darjeeling and the State of Cooch Behar were overwhelmingly populated by the hilly tribes viz. Lepcha, Limbu, Koch, Rajbanshi, and Bhutia; and the north-eastern boundary in the ancient time was extended up to the Brahmaputra river which demarcated the eastern and western boundary of Pundrabardhan and Kamrup State respectively.2 H. Blochmann has mentioned about the five ‘districts’ of Bengal during pre-medieval period viz.

  • Identifying Safe Drinking Water Source for Establishing Sustainable Urban Water Supply Scheme in Rangunia Municipality, Bangladesh
    20th International Congress on Modelling and Simulation, Adelaide, Australia, 1–6 December 2013 www.mssanz.org.au/modsim2013 Identifying safe drinking water source for establishing sustainable urban water supply scheme in Rangunia municipality, Bangladesh S.K. Adhikary a, S.K. Das a, T. Chaki b and M. Rahman b a College of Engineering and Science, Victoria University, Melbourne 14428, Victoria 8001, Australia b Water Resources Planning Division, Institute of Water Modelling (IWM), Dhaka 1206, Bangladesh Email: [email protected] Abstract: Safe drinking water source identification is one of the vital components for designing and establishing an urban water supply system. Nowadays, water consumption in a country is one of the determining factors related to its development activities. Rapid growth of population and increased urbanization activities particularly in developing countries offer great challenges to the water utility managers and service providers. In this context, a major challenge is to ensure adequate supply of water with acceptable quality to every city dwellers with minimum cost. However, it is quite difficult to achieve this target, if there is a shortage in water availability from the existing sources imposed by water quantity and quality issues. Therefore, a comprehensive assessment task should be undertaken prior to designing and establishing a long-term water supply options in an urban area of a developing country like Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, municipal water supply scheme mainly depends on the conventional water sources such as surface water from the rivers and groundwater from the underlying aquifer. Although the groundwater quality is satisfactory for drinking purpose and available abundantly in the shallow aquifer, quality limitations of surface water impose economic constraints with additional treatment cost for system operation.

Against this backdrop, the Mayurakshi Irrigation Project was initiated in 1948 with Mayurakshi as principal river and its four main tributaries namely Brahmani, Dwarka, Bakreswar and Kopai. This project aimed to supply water for irrigation to the agricultural field of the command area at the time of requirement and assured irrigation was the main agenda of this project’s commencement. In this paper the author has tried to find out the current status of the timely irrigation water supply which was the main purpose of initiation of this project. Keywords: Irrigation Projects, Regulatory Measures, Command Area, Assured Irrigation. Introduction In the post-independence period, India has shown accelerating trend in growth of irrigation projects. Following USA and other advanced economies of the time, independent India encouraged irrigation projects to ensure assured irrigation, flood control, generation of hydroelectricity. Then Prime Minister Jawhar Lal Neheru entitled the dams as temples of modern India. Mayurakshi Irrigation Project (MIP) was one of them and was Pramila Nandi launched in 1948 to serve water to the thirsty agricultural lands of one of Research Scholar, the driest district of West Bengal i.e.

  • Morphometric Analysis of Dwarakeswar Watershed, Bankura District, West Bengal, India, Using Spatial Information Technology
    International Journal of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering Vol. 3(10), pp. 212-219, 21 October, 2011 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/IJWREE ISSN 1991-637X ©2011 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Morphometric analysis of Dwarakeswar watershed, Bankura district, West Bengal, India, using spatial information technology S. K. Nag* and Anindita Lahiri Department of Geological Sciences, Jadavpur University, Kolkata -700032, India. Accepted 8 September, 2011 Spatial information technology that is, remote sensing (RS) coupled with geographical information system (GIS) has come out as an efficient tool in delineating drainage pattern and water resource management and its planning. GIS and Image Processing techniques have been adopted for the identification of morphological features and analyzing their properties in Dwarakeswar River Basin area in Purulia and Bankura districts of West Bengal, India. The basin morphometric parameters such as linear and aerial aspects of the river basin have been determined. The parameters worked out include both linear aspects [Stream order (Nu), Bifurcation ratio(Rb), Stream length(Lu), Stream frequency] and aerial aspects [Form factor (Rf), Circulatory Ratio (Rc), Elongation Ratio (Re) and Drainage Density]. The study reveals that the area is characterized by fine drainage texture and lower drainage density indicating the basin is characterized by highly resistant permeable material with low relief. The overall drainage pattern of the Dwarkeswar watershed reflects a dendritic pattern. Dendritic pattern, in general, is considered as a group of resequent streams within homogeneous lithology and gently sloping topography. This study would help the local people to utilize the resources for sustainable development of the basin area.
