Khanki Headwork is the oldest head work of Pakistan (32o24’09.65” N 73o58’14.30”E). It is located on the River Chenab in Tehsil Wazirabad of District Gujranwala at a distance of 18 Km in South West of Wazirabad Town and 16 Km downstream of the Alexandra Railway Bridge. Lower Chenab Canal (LCC) off-takes from Khanki Headworks which irrigates about 3 million acres of fertile land situated in seven districts of the Punjab viz., Gujranwala, Hafizabad, Sheikhupura, Nankana Sahib, Faisalabad, Toba Tek Singh and Jhang. The below figures show the features of old Khanki Barrage and location respectively. Figure 1. KhankiHeadworks. Figure 2.Location of KhankiHeadworks. PMO for Punjab Barrages - 1 - New Khanki Barrage Construction Project (NKBP) Biannual Environmental Monitoring Report (January – June 2013) 2. The Headworks was constructed in the year 1892 when knowledge about hydraulic engineering was in infancy. In the past, there were repeated failures and damages to the Headworks structure while repairs, additions and alterations continued to be undertaken at various frequent intervals. The existing Khanki Headworks is a combination of different design and construction styles and has outlived its reliable life. It is pertinent to mention that the Headworks has a design discharge capacity of 800,000 cusec whereas the actual flood exceeded the designed capacity nine (9) times (the maximum was 1,086,000 cusec in 1957). Control on the river flows and pond level is loose; regulation through outmoded shutters results in significant leakages of water during periods of acute shortage and keen demands for irrigation water. Based on safety evaluation reports, replacement of outdated Headworks with a new barrage is essential. With cooperation of Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Government of the Punjab Irrigation Department (ID) has launched New Khanki Barrage Construction Project (NKBP) at a cost of Pak Rs. 23,442 Million initially over 20013-2017 (5 years) period. Out of this Rs. 394 million has been allocated for environmental and resettlement plans. The loan closing date for the project is 31st December 2013. 3. The Environment Management Plan (EMP) including Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMP) for construction packages of NKBP were prepared and made a part of the respective Contract Document under the international competitive bidding (ICB). 4. EMP provides an overall approach for managing and monitoring environment and social related issues and provides a mechanism to address the adverse environmental impacts of a project during its construction, to accelerate project benefits and describes the institutional framework and resource allocations proposed by the Punjab Irrigation Department (PID) to implement the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the construction of New Khanki Barrage Project (NKBP). Construction Activities of the Project 5. The contractor mobilized in the month of July 2013 and during the reported months there were no construction activities at site. Project Organization and Environmental Management Team Management Approach 6. The responsibilities of different organizations/departments are summarized below: Project Management Office (PMO) 7. The overall responsibility for the implementation of Environmental Management Plan rests with the Head PMO of the Project Management Office (PMO) along with the assistance of Environmental Sociology Unit (ESU) of PMO. The ESU consists of Director Environment/Social, Deputy Director Environment, Deputy Director Sociology, Deputy Director Resettlement/Development Assistance and Deputy Director Communication. 8. PMO will ensure that contractor and supervision consultants appoint a dedicated environmental officer and allied staff. PMO will also ensure that all environmental personnel are authorized to implement the environmental& social policies and requirements of the EMP. 9. ESU will also coordinate with relevant government departments and stakeholders on concerned environmental &social/Resettlement issues. ESU will inspect and monitor PMO for Punjab Barrages - 2 - New Khanki Barrage Construction Project (NKBP) Biannual Environmental Monitoring Report (January – June 2013) residual impacts of the project and record documentation of the impacts during the project.

  • Society1 in Lower Chenab Colony: a Case Study of Toba Tek Singh (1900-1947)
    Journal of the Research Society of Pakistan Volume No. 55, Issue No. 2 (July - December, 2018) Nayyer Abbas * Tahir Mahmood ** Fatima Riffat*** Constructing ‘hydraulic’ Society1 in Lower Chenab Colony: A Case Study of Toba Tek Singh (1900-1947) Abstract This paper focuses on agricultural colonization projects from 1885 to 1947 in Punjab. It will be helpful to understand agricultural colonization of the Punjab by the British government and further to establish a link with migration trends during the partition of Punjab in 1947. Among other canal colonies areas, Lower Chenab Colony greatly transformed the agricultural economy of the Punjab. The case study research material has been primarily drawn from the District Colony Record Office Toba Tek Singh, Punjab Archives Lahore and the British Library. It shows that social engineering through which British government developed Toba Tek Singh, constructed a hydraulic society, controlled by the colonial state through the control of canal waters. Its specific composition also gives clue to the migration trends during the Partition of Punjab in 1947. The local non-Muslims’ (Hindu and Sikh) previous family links with the East Punjab became one of the major factors in their migration to India. Key Words: Hydraulic society, Toba Tek Singh, Social engineering, migration, Lower Chenab colony Introduction History of the canal colonies in the Punjab during colonial period had been researched by the number of historians from different aspects of this project. David Gilmartin analyzed the Punjabi migration to the Canal Colonies during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and provided a critical link ‘between village organization and sate power that lay at the heart of colonial rule’.2 D.

  • Investigation of Isotopes and Hydrological Processes in Indus River System, Pakistan
    PINSTECH- 215 INVESTIGATION OF ISOTOPES AND HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES IN INDUS RIVER SYSTEM, PAKISTAN Manzoor Ahmad Zahid Latif Jamil Ahmad Tariq Waheed Akram Muhammad Rafique . Isotope Application Division Directorate of Technology Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology P.O. Nilore, Islamabad, Pakistan November, 2009 ABSTRACT Indus River, one of the longest rivers in the World, has five major eastern tributaries viz. Bias, Sutlej, Ravi, Chenab and Jhelum) while many small rivers join it from the right side among which Kabul River is the biggest with its main tributaries, the Swat, Panjkora and Kunar. All these main rivers are perennial and originate from the mountains. Basic sources of these rivers are snowmelt, rainfall and under certain conditions seepage from the formations. Different water sources are labeled with different isotope signatures which are used as fingerprints for identifying source and movement of water, geochemical and/or hydrological processes, and dynamics (age of water). Monitoring of isotopes in rivers can also enhance understanding of the water cycle of large river basins and to assess impacts of environmental and climatic changes on the water cycle. Therefore, a national network of suitable stations was established for isotopic monitoring of river waters in Indus Basin with specific objectives to study temporal variations of isotopes (2H, 18O and 3H), understand water cycles and hydrological processes in the catchments of these rivers, and to develop comprehensive database to support future isotope-based groundwater studies in the basin on recharge mechanism, water balance and monitoring of ongoing environmental changes. Water samples were collected during 2002-2006 on monthly basis from more than 20 stations at the major rivers and analyzed for 18O, 2H and 3H isotopes.

  • An Evaluation of Risk-Based Agricultural Land-Use Adjustments Under a Flood Management Strategy in a Floodplain
    hydrology Article An Evaluation of Risk-Based Agricultural Land-Use Adjustments under a Flood Management Strategy in a Floodplain Muhammad Atiq Ur Rehman Tariq 1,2,* , Zohreh Rajabi 1 and Nitin Muttil 1,2,* 1 College of Engineering and Science, Victoria University, Melbourne 8001, Australia; [email protected] 2 Institute for Sustainable Industries & Liveable Cities, Victoria University, P.O. Box 14428, Melbourne 8001, Australia * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.A.U.R.T.); [email protected] (N.M.) Abstract: Agricultural damage due to floods in the Indus basin’s fertile land has been the most damaging natural disaster in Pakistan so far. Earthen dikes are protecting the vast areas of the floodplain from regular flooding. However, the floodplain is attractive to farmers due to its fertility and experiences regular crop production within and out of the dike area. This paper evaluates the flood risk in a floodplain of the Chenab river in Pakistan and recommends land-use changes to reduce the flood risk for crops and associated settlements within the study area. The objective of the land-use change is not just to reduce flood losses but also to increase the overall benefits of the floodplain in terms of its Economic Rent (ER). This preliminary study analyses the economic impacts of the risk-based land-use improvements on existing floodplain land uses. Expected Annual Damage (EAD) maps were developed using hydrodynamic models and GIS data.

  • Study of Lag Time of River Chenab Between Marala Barrage and Khanki Headworks Using Radioactive Tracer Technique
    PINSTECH-169 STUDY OF LAG TIME OF RIVER CHENAB BETWEEN MARALA BARRAGE AND KHANKI HEADWORKS USING RADIOACTIVE TRACER TECHNIQUE Manzoor Ahmad Jamil Ahmad Tariq Niaz Ahmad Naveed Iqbal Radiation and Isotope Application Division Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology P. O. Nilore Islamabad May-2001 ABSTRACT During the flood season, sometimes discharge peaks in two tributaries of the Indus River System coincide at the point of confluence and their cumulative effect threatens the downstream barrage/headworks. Reasonably accurate lag time (transit time) between different control points in relation to discharge helps manage flood routing more safely. As a part of "Study of Lag Time of the Indus River System", radioactive tracer experiment was conducted to determine the lag time between Marala Barrage and Khanki Headworks at the river Chenab. Discharge data shows that the maximum flood peak appears in August. In the monsoon period of the year 1999 the floods were low. So the radiotracer experiment was carried out at low discharge of about 538 m3 sec"1 (19000 cusecs). An activity of about 2 Ci of 82Br radioactive tracer was injected instantaneously in the river at Marala on 1st September 1999 at 0640 hours. Monitoring of radioactivity by scintillation detectors (sodium iodide) was done at Khanki Headworks. The peak value of activity was found on September 2, 1999 at 0005 hours. The lag time was determined as 17 hours and 25 minutes. At this discharge level the river water travelled with the average speed of 3.69 km/hr. CONTENTS 1.
