Executive Summary Executive Summary 0.0 Integrated National Waterways Transportation Grid study is undertaken with an aim to link all National Waterways (viz., River Ganga from Haldia to Allahabad (NW‐1: 1620 km), River Brahmaputra from Dhubri to Sadiya (NW‐2: 891 km), West Coast Canal from Kottapuram to Kollam with Udyogmandal and Champakara Canals (NW‐3: 205 km), Kakinada – Puducherry stretch of canals with River Godavari and River Krishna (NW‐4: 1078 km), East Coast Canal with River Brahmani and River Mahanadi’s delta (NW‐5: 588 km), River Barak between Lakhipur and Bhanga (proposed NW‐6: 121 km)) to National/ State Highways, Railways and Sea Ports so that all these waterways become an integral part of the total transportation grid. With this objective, Phase‐1 study had been carried out which had recommended 27 potential terminal locations on six National Waterways, for development of effective Inter‐modal National Waterways Transportation Grid. These identified potential terminals are required to be properly connected by 2 lane road to the nearby State or National Highways and also at least single lane broad gauge rail connectivity to be established to nearby rail‐heads, wherever feasible. 0.1 Based on the recommendations and the broad consultation on the planned Phase‐I study of National Waterway Grid connectivity with the States and other Departments related to Roads, Railways and Ports, it was decided that the individual projects would be developed with the detailed project reports and financing options. Further, it was suggested to take up four more terminals viz., Allahabad and Sahebganj on NW‐1, Dhamra and Kalinganagar on NW‐5, in view of their potential connectivity to hinterland.

  • Entropy and Energy Dissipation of a Braided River System
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Engineering 144 ( 2016 ) 1175 – 1179 12th International Conference on Vibration Problems, ICOVP 2015 Entropy and Energy Dissipation of a Braided River System Vinay Chembolua, Subashisa Duttab* aDepartment of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Guwahati,781039, India bDepartment of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Guwahati, 781039, India Abstract The randomness in morphology of the Brahmaputra River is very common because of its high flow variability and erodible banks. The river is severely braided with no permanent bank line and varies its width by 1.2 km to 18 km. During the monsoon season it follows several tortuous braided paths to dissipate its enormous energy. The river changes its braided planform in response to seasonal water and sediment waves and makes its morphology extremely complex. This paper aims to link the braided planform disorderness as a measure of entropy with the energy dissipated by the braided river system to study the river behaviour for various flood waves. © 20162016 Published The Authors. by Elsevier Published Ltd.

  • Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Will Dedicate to the Nation the Multi Modal Terminal on River Ganga at Varanasi on 12Th November
    Ministry of Shipping08-November, 2018 16:57 IST Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will dedicate to the nation the Multi Modal Terminal on River Ganga at Varanasi on 12th November PM will also receive India’s First Container Cargo being transported on an Inland Waterway Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will dedicate to the nation the newly constructed Multi Modal Terminal on River Ganga at Varanasi on Monday, the 12th of November, 2018. This is the first of the three Multi Modal Terminals and two Inter Modal Terminals being constructed on the river. The MMTs are being built as part of the Government’s Jal Marg Vikas project that aims to develop the stretch of River Ganga between Varanasi to Haldi for navigation of large vessels upto1500-2000 tonnes weight, by maintaining a drought of 2-3 metres in this stretch of the river and setting up other systems required for safe navigation. The objective is to promote inland waterways as a cheaper and more environment friendly means of transport, especially for cargo movement. Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) is the project Implementing Agency The Jal Marg Vikas Project (JMVP) is being implemented on the Haldia-Varanasi stretch of National Waterway-1 (NW-1) with the technical assistance and investment support of the World Bank, at an estimated cost of Rs. 5,369.18 crores (USD 800 million, of which USD 375 is IBRD loan) on a 50:50 sharing basis between Government of India and the World Bank. The project entails construction of 3 multimodal terminals (Varanasi, Sahibganj and Haldia); 2 intermodal terminals; 5 Roll On – Roll Off (Ro-Ro) terminal pairs; new navigation lock at Farakka; assured depth dredging; integrated vessel repair & maintenance facility, Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS), River Information System (RIS), river training & river conservancy works.

  • Conservation of Gangetic Dolphin in Brahmaputra River System, India
    CONSERVATION OF GANGETIC DOLPHIN IN BRAHMAPUTRA RIVER SYSTEM, INDIA Final Technical Report A. Wakid Project Leader, Gangetic Dolphin Conservation Project Assam, India Email: [email protected] 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT There was no comprehensive data on the conservation status of Gangetic dolphin in Brahmaputra river system for last 12 years. Therefore, it was very important to undertake a detail study on the species from the conservation point of view in the entire river system within Assam, based on which site and factor specific conservation actions would be worthwhile. However, getting the sponsorship to conduct this task in a huge geographical area of about 56,000 sq. km. itself was a great problem. The support from the BP Conservation Programme (BPCP) and the Rufford Small Grant for Nature Conservation (RSG) made it possible for me. I am hereby expressing my sincere thanks to both of these Funding Agencies for their great support to save this endangered species. Besides their enormous workload, Marianne Dunn, Dalgen Robyn, Kate Stoke and Jaimye Bartake of BPCP spent a lot of time for my Project and for me through advise, network and capacity building, which helped me in successful completion of this project. I am very much grateful to all of them. Josh Cole, the Programme Manager of RSG encouraged me through his visit to my field area in April, 2005. I am thankful to him for this encouragement.
