FOREWORD
A National Perspective Plan for water resources development envisaging inter-basin water transfer was formulated by the Ministry of Water Resources in 1980 for equitable distribution of available water from water surplus basins to water short areas. Subsequently National Water Development Agency (NWDA) was set up to study the feasibility of the river basin links proposed in the above Plan in 1982. The preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) of link projects proposed under the National Perspective Plan was included in the functions of NWDA in 2006. Due to concerted efforts of NWDA in association with Central Water Commission (CWC) and Ministry of Water Resources, a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding was signed by the States of Gujarat and Maharashtra and the Union Government on 3rd May 2010 in the presence of Hon’ble Prime Minister for the preparation of Detailed Project Reports of Damanganga-Pinjal and Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Projects. Subsequently, NWDA completed the DPR of Damanganga-Pinjal link Project in March 2014; DPR of the Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project was completed in August 2015.
The Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project is a multi-purpose scheme with irrigation, hydropower and water supply benefits. Gujarat State is the principal beneficiary and Maharashtra State will get the benefits of irrigation, water supply to tribal areas in Nasik district and power generation. The project will provide an annual irrigation of 2.32 lakh ha utilizing about 1330 MCM of water including water supply and also generate 21 MW of hydropower.
Government of Gujarat suggested to provide maximum irrigation and drinking water facilities to the tribal areas adjacent to the project. It was suggested to provide irrigation in tribal areas right side of canal by lift in addition to enroute irrigation already proposed and irrigation in tribal areas in the vicinity of six proposed reservoirs. It is also proposed to include command area of five proposed projects of State Government and irrigation in tribal areas of Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal district by lift directly from Narmada Main Canal on substitution basis.
The Secretary (WR,RD&GR) had held meeting with the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat on 31.12.2016 at Gandhinagar wherein the revised proposal was presented. Some suggestions were given by the Government of Gujarat regarding the planning of the project. NWDA has now completed the modified DPR duly considering the views of Government of Gujarat.
The DPR of the Project has been prepared as per the Guidelines for Preparation of Detailed Project Report
of Irrigation and Multipurpose Projects of Ministry of Water Resources (2010). The DPR contains the details of surveys and investigations such as topographical surveys, geotechnical and construction material surveys, geological investigations, environmental impact assessment studies etc. As mentioned in the MoU, the feasibility of utilization of water by Maharashtra State in their territory by lifting water over the western divide from Par, Auranga and Ambica basins was examined and the proposal was found to be economically not viable.
The Secretary, Ministry of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation and Chairman,
Central Water Commission have regularly monitored the work of preparation of DPR and provided valuable guidance for its timely completion. Their contribution in this regard is gratefully acknowledged. The co-operation and assistance received from the Water Resources Department of the Governments of Gujarat and Maharashtra in the preparation of the DPR is thankfully acknowledged. My thanks are due to Central Water Commission, Central Soil & Material Research Station (CSMRS), Geological Survey of India (GSI), Central Water & Power Research Station (CWPRS), Tehri Hydro Development Corporation India Ltd. (THDCIL), Regional Remote Sensing Centre (RRSC), Water and Power Consultancy Services (WAPCOS) who were closely associated with various aspects of the investigations and studies and provided necessary technical assistance.
I compliment the concerned officers of NWDA, especially the Chief Engineer (HQ), the Chief Engineer (South), Hyderabad and the Superintending Engineer, Investigation Circle, Valsad and their teams including field Investigation Divisions Vadodara and Valsad for their sincerity, devotion and hard work in completing this challenging task in the assigned time period.
It is hoped that after the requisite statutory clearances, the Project will be taken up for implementation in the
right earnest.

PREFACE
Water resources development and management is a key area which needs focused attention for proper utilization of water which is a precious natural resource. The development, conservation and use of water, therefore, play a vital role in the country’s development planning. The water resources in the country are, however, limited. The rainfall in the country is mostly confined to monsoon season and is unevenly distributed with respect to both space and time. As a result, some parts of the country are affected by droughts whereas other parts are affected by floods. Water will become a scarce resource in the near future due to increasing population and increasing demands for various uses due to continuous improvement in the living standards of the people. So, the monsoon flood waters should be conserved and utilized for drinking, irrigation, power generation, etc.
Saurashtra and Kutch regions are semi-arid and suffer from frequent droughts. In these regions, ground water scenario is also disappointing and reliable water resources have disappeared. The areas bordering desert and coastal region are heavily saline; a large part of Saurashtra is surrounded by the traps which do not bear any ground water. The salinity is increasing further inland due to over-exploitation of sweet ground water. Scanty and irregular rainfall, shallow soils in most of the areas and lack of assured irrigation limit the intensity of agriculture, selection of crops and level of productivity in this region.
A tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by the States of Gujarat and Maharashtra and the Union Government on 3rd May, 2010 at New Delhi for preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPR) of Damanganga – Pinjal and Par-Tapi-Narmada link projects. Both these projects envisage diversion of water from the west flowing rivers of Gujarat and Maharashtra. The DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project was completed by NWDA in August, 2015.
The Par – Tapi – Narmada Link Project envisages utilisation of 1330 MCM of
surplus waters of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins for utilization in en-route irrigation and to meet drinking water needs in the vicinity of the project. This project will also take over a part of the command area of the existing Miyagam Branch canal of Narmada canal system so that water saved in Sardar Sarovar Project could be taken further northwards to benefit water scarce areas of Saurashtra and Kutch regions in Gujarat.
Government of Gujarat suggested to provide maximum irrigation and drinking water facilities to the tribal areas adjacent to the project. It was suggested to provide irrigation in tribal areas right side of canal by lift in addition to enroute irrigation already proposed and irrigation in tribal areas in the vicinity of six proposed reservoirs. It is also proposed to include command area of five proposed projects of State Government and irrigation in tribal areas of Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal district by lift directly from Narmada Main Canal on substitution basis.

The Secretary (WR,RD&GR) held meeting with Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat on 31.12.2016 at Gandhinagar and made presentation on the revised proposal. Some additional suggestions were made regarding the planning of the project by the Government of Gujarat. NWDA has now completed the modified DPR duly considering the views of Government of Gujarat.
The project is now estimated to cost Rs. 10211 Crore (2014-15 price level) and the benefit-cost ratio works out to 1.035.
The Project Report has been prepared in eleven volumes as detailed below.

Executive Summary
1.0 National Perspective Plan for Water Resources Development
The eastwhile Union Ministry of Irrigation and Central Water Commission (CWC) formulated, in the year 1980, a National Perspective Plan (NPP) for water resources development through inter basin transfer of water which comprises of two components: Himalayan Rivers Development Component, and Peninsular Rivers Development Component. The distinctive feature of the NPP is that the transfer of water from surplus basin to deficit basin would essentially be by gravity and only in small reaches it would be by lifts not exceeding 120 metres. These two components are briefly outlined in the following paragraphs. Himalayan Rivers Development
Himalayan Rivers Development envisages construction of storage reservoirs on the principal tributaries of the Ganga and the Brahmaputra in India, Nepal and Bhutan, along with inter-linking canal systems to transfer surplus flows of the eastern tributaries of the Ganga to the west, apart from linking of the main Brahmaputra and its tributaries with the Ganga and Ganga with Mahanadi and augmentation of flow at Farakka. Peninsular Rivers Development
This component is divided into four major Parts:
i. Interlinking of Mahanadi–Godavari-Krishna-Pennar-Cauvery rivers and building storages at potential sites in these basins
ii. Interlinking of west flowing rivers, north of Mumbai and south of Tapi
iii. Interlinking of Ken-Chambal Rivers
iv. Diversion of other west flowing rivers
lxiii
The National Water Development Agency (NWDA) after carrying out the detailed technical studies identified 30 link proposals for preparation of Feasibility Reports/ Detailed Project Reports; 14 links under Himalayan Rivers Development Component and 16 links under Peninsular Rivers Development Component. Par – Tapi – Narmada link project is one of the 16 link proposals under Peninsular Rivers Development Component. 2.0 Memorandum of Understanding amongst Centre and Concerned States and Inter-State Aspects
The Feasibility Report of Par–Tapi–Narmada link project was prepared by NWDA during October, 2005 and circulated to all concerned State Governments and members of Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) of NWDA. Since then continuous efforts were made by NWDA, CWC and Ministry of Water Resources to arrive at the consensus between two beneficiary States of Gujarat and Maharashtra. As a result of these efforts, consensus was arrived amongst the Central Government and concerned States of Gujarat and Maharashtra for preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) of Par–Tapi–Narmada link project.
The Water Resources Department, Government of Maharashtra and
Narmada Water Resources, Water Supply and Kalpasar Department, Government of Gujarat conveyed their concurrence to Union Ministry of Water Resources during May, 2008 for preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) of the project. Subsequently, the work for preparation of DPR was entrusted to NWDA.
A tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by the
States of Gujarat and Maharashtra and the Union Government on 3rd May, 2010 at New Delhi for preparation of Detailed Project Report of Par–Tapi–Narmada link project. The tripartite Memorandum of Understanding indicates that: the Gujarat State will get the benefits of Par–Tapi–Narmada link project through en-route irrigation from the link canal and also in the drought prone Saurashtra and Kutch region by way of substitution. The sharing of Hydro Power produced in the Power House located in this link project will also be studied during the preparation of DPR; The feasibility of utilization of water by Maharashtra State in their territory by lifting water
lxiv
over the western divide will also be examined during preparation of DPR; The issue of compensating the quantity of water contributed from Maharashtra catchments will be decided by States mutually after preparation of DPR when diversion quantity through this link is firmed up; at DPR stage, the size of canal from Ukai Dam to Narmada Canal will be decided based on simulation studies, keeping in view the request of Government of Gujarat about retaining the size of canal as designed in Feasibility Report of Par-Tapi-Narmada link considering the diversion of water from Tapi Basin.
Accordingly, NWDA has prepared the DPR of Par – Tapi – Narmada link project with active support and co-operation of CWC and other domain expert organizations like Central Soil and Materials Research Station (CSMRS), Geological Survey of India (GSI), Central Water and Power Research Station (CWPRS), Tehri Hydro Development Corporation India Ltd (THDCIL), India Meteorological Department (IMD), National Remote Sensing Center (NRSC), Water and Power Consultancy Services (WAPCOS), Regional Remote Sensing Centre (RRSC), Jodhpur, Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space Applications and Geo-informatics (BISAG), Gandhinagar etc.
It is indicated in the tripartite Memorandum of Understanding that the issue of sharing of Hydro Power produced in the Power Houses proposed in this link project and the feasibility of utilization of water by Maharashtra State in their territory by lifting water over the western divide will be examined during preparation of DPR. Accordingly, the issue of water and power sharing was taken-up for discussion with both Maharashtra and Gujarat States at the level of Chief Engineers. The water availability study of Par–Tapi–Narmada link project has been carried out by CWC for NWDA in consultation of State Governments of Gujarat and Maharashtra. This study was sent to both the States. Three meetings have been held with the Water Resources Departments of Maharashtra and Gujarat Governments at the level of Chief Engineers (CEs) and the water availability study report has been finalized. It has also been agreed by both the States that the sharing of water shall be based on the catchment area of the respective States duly accounting for the variation in catchment rainfall.
lxv
The DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project was completed by NWDA in August, 2015 and sent to Water Resources Departments of Governments of Gujarat and Maharashtra vide Director General, NWDA, New Delhi D.O. Letter No. NWDA/Tech-I/200/44-I/Vol.V/12269 Dated 25.08.2015 for their views.
The issue of water sharing and power sharing between the States of
Gujarat and Maharashtra has been discussed at the level of Chief Engineers of the States of Gujarat and Maharashtra and NWDA. Further matter in this regard is taken up at the Senior Officers level of the two States and MoWR, RDandGR, Government of India. Hon’ble Union Minister for WR, RDandGR held meeting with the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Government of Maharashtra at Mumbai on 3rd May, 2016 where in Damanganga-Pinjal and Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Projects were discussed among other issues. 2.1 Proposed Modifications in DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project 2.2 Need for Modification
The DPR of the Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project was completed by NWDA in August, 2015 and sent to the Governments of Gujarat and Maharashtra vide Director General, NWDA, New Delhi D.O Letter No.NWDA/Tech-I/200/44-I/Vol.V/12269 dated 25.08.2015 for their views. In response, Government of Gujarat have conveyed their observations on DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project vide letter No.Gen/2010/GoI-3/Part-I/MI Cell dated 21.05.2016 and letter No. S/2015/NWDA/2540/J dated 29.07.2016. Government of Gujarat suggested (i) to explore possibilities for providing maximum irrigation facilities to tribal areas on right side of the canal by lift (ii) to include the command area of five projects proposed by the Government of Gujarat on left side of the canal in addition to enroute command and target command in Saurashtra etc. to the extent possible. In this context, Chief Engineers level meeting was held between NWDA and NWRWS and Kalpasar Department, Government of Gujarat at Gandhinagar on 11thNovember, 2016 for firming up of modifications in
lxvi
DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project. Also, discussions were held between the then OSD now the Secretary, MoWR, RD&GR, Government of India and the Chief Secretary, Government of Gujarat on 16th November, 2016 regarding Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project. In continuation, Secretary, MoWR, RD&GR vide D.O Letter No. 2/7/2007-BM(pt) dated 25.11.2016 requested to convey the consent of Government of Gujarat for new irrigation Planning of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project so as to revise the DPR and facilitate early implementation of the project. As a result, to finalise the issues on modifications of DPR, Secretary, MoWR, RD&GR along with the officers of NWDA and NWRWS and Kalpasar Department, Government of Gujarat held a meeting with the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat on 31.12.2016. Chief Engineers level Meeting was held at Gandhinagar on 9thFebruary, 2017 for firming up of modifications and to revise the DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project. During discussions in the above meetings following modifications in DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project are firmed up (i) Inclusion of command areas of the Projects proposed by the
Government of Gujarat on left side of the canal in South Gujarat. It was decided to include the command area of five projects proposed
by the Government of Gujarat namely i) Ugta ii) Sidhumber iii) Khata Amba iv) Zankhari and v) Khuntali. (ii) Providing irrigation to the Tribal areas enroute right side of Link
Canal by lift. Providing water for irrigation by lift for possible maximum Tribal
areas on right side of the Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Canal. (iii) Irrigation in Tribal areas in the vicinity of reservoirs.
Providing irrigation in tribal areas of Dang and Valsad districts of Gujarat directly from the reservoirs under Par-Tapi-Narmada link by lift.
lxvii
(iv) Irrigation in Tribal areas right side of the Narmada Main Canal by lift in Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal Districts.
It was further suggested to explore the possibilities of providing
irrigation in the tribal areas of Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal districts of the Gujarat State from Narmada Main Canal on substitution basis. (v) Provision for drinking water
Provision for drinking water for all villages of Dang and Navsari districts and villages of Kaprada and Dharampur taluks of Valsad district is to be made from this project. (vi) Filling of Panchayat and village tanks in the periphery of
Reservoirs.
Provision for filling all possible tanks in benefitted areas to be made. Also, during the meeting with the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Gujarat State on 31.12.2016, it was decided to explore techno-economic feasibility for providing pipe line system instead of open canal for main canal of the link to avoid/minimize the land acquisition in tribal areas as well as to reduce evaporation/seepage losses under Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project. Secretary, Government of Gujarat vide letter No. Gen/2010/GoI-3/(3)/Part/MI Cell(K-1) dated 18.01.2017 has conveyed NWDA to explore the above possibility, while revising the DPR. NWDA examined the feasibility of pipe line system instead of open canal for Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Canal. As per the study, it reveals that the gradient vis-à-vis ideal velocity of flows in pipe lines have become the constraints in laying the pipe line system due to prevailing large difference of head between the canal off-take point and out-fall point at Ukai reservoir. As the link canal runs mostly in deep cutting, laying a number of gravity pipe lines with very flatter gradients and lesser velocities for diversion of large discharges lead to heavy excavation which escalates the project cost leading to no significant reduction in land acquisition for the Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal. The note on techno-economic feasibility of providing
lxviii
pipe line in lieu of main canal has been sent to the NWRS and Kalpsar Department, Government of Gujarat vide Letter No. NWDA/IC/V/T-143/504-10 dated 14.03.2017. However, NWDA suggested gravity pipe line can be adopted in place of feeder canals as discharges are small and lies in hilly terrain. Copy of the minutes of the Chief Engineers level meeting dated 09.02.2017 is enclosed at Annexure – 1.18 of Annexures Volume. Based on the decision taken by the Government of Gujarat from time to time during the above meetings, NWDA modified the DPR of the Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project. 3.0 Aim and Objective of the Project and Description of Works
The main objective of the Par-Tapi-Narmada Link project is to provide maximum irrigation facilities to Tribal areas enroute the link canal lying on Right side including drought prone Saurashtra region of Gujarat. The link project will also cater the command areas of five projects namely Khuntali, Ugta, Sidhumber, Khata Amba, Zankhari, proposed by Government of Gujarat. Command in tribal areas of Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal districts from Narmada Main canal on substitution basis, tribal dominant districts of Dang and Valsad of Gujarat State and Nasik district of Maharashtra State along with Drinking water of most of the villages in the vicinity and filling of most of Panchayat tanks/Check dams will be served under Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal.
There is a wide variation in distribution of water resources in different regions of Gujarat State due to variation in rainfall. The rainfall in Saurashtra and Kutch regions of Gujarat is very scanty and the area is frequently affected by droughts. The annual normal rainfall (1951-2000) in Saurashtra and Kutch region is 507 mm and where as the average annual rainfall in Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins of South Gujarat region is assessd to be 2180, 2055, 1830 and 1472 mm respectively. Par, Auranga, Ambica, Purna and Mindhola are the important west flowing rivers in the western ghat region, North of Mumbai and South of Tapi in Southern Gujarat. All these rivers originate in the State of Maharashtra and after flowing through the States of Maharashtra and Gujarat outfall into
lxix
Arabian sea. Only about 14% of the catchment area of the above rivers lies in Maharashtra State and the remaining 86% lies in the State of Gujarat.
Par, Auranga, Ambica, Purna and Mindhola river basins have the same hydro-meteorological characteristics. About 95% to 97% of annual rainfall confines to monsoon only from June to September.The rainfall pattern of the river basins is given in Table-1.

2 Auranga 748 2063
3 Ambica 2685 1833
4 Purna 2193 1472
5 Mindhola 1056 780
From the above Table, it is seen that the rainfall is decreasing from
South to North direction.
Surface Water Availability:
Out of total 38100 MCM of estimated utilizable surface water resources in Gujarat State, the utilizable surface water resources in South and Central Gujarat region is 31750 MCM (83%). Whereas, it is 2100 MCM (6%) in North Gujarat, 3600 MCM (9%) in Saurashtra and 650 MCM (2%) in Kutch region. Consequently, there is large variation in per capita water availability in different regions of the State. The per capita water availability in South and Central Gujarat region is about 1100 m3 (2011 census) and it is about 600 m3 in Saurashtra and Kutch region. With the anticipated growth of population in the State by 2050, the per capita availability of water would further reduce. The rivers in Saurashtra and Kutch region are mostly dry through the year, where as sizeable quantum of
lxx
flows of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers situated in South Gujarat are going to Sea unutilized every year. The water availability studies of these basins carried out by CWC indicates availability of sizable surplus water after meeting in basin requirements. The water availability study of the following river basins indicates availability of sizeable surplus water after meeting the in-basin requirements, as given in Table-2.

Total 7274 5598.8 3607.44 1991.36
In light of the above scenario, the Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project in
the western part of India is envisaged to transfer the surplus flows from west-flowing Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers between Par and Tapi to water deficit drought-prone regions lying on both sides of the link canal, towards North including tribal areas and upto drought-prone Saurastra and Kutch regions. Index plan of the link project is at Plate-I.
The Par-Tapi-Narmada link projects contemplated at Feasibility Report stage by NWDA envisage construction of 7 dams: viz i) Jheri, ii) Mohankavchali, iii) Paikhed, iv) Chasmandva, v) Chikkar, vi) Dabdar and vii) Kelwan. However, due to public resistance no field topographical surveys and geotechnical investigations could be conducted at the Mohankavchali dam site (proposed downstream of Jheri dam site) either at Feasibility Report stage or DPR stage by NWDA. Therefore, while
lxxi
preparing the DPR of the link project the Mohankavchali dam has not been considered and the water planning has been revised to ensure that the overall objective of the Par-Tapi-Narmada link project is achieved. It is planned now to divert the surplus waters of Par river tapped at Jheri reservoir to Paikhed reservoir through a 12.70 km long tunnel. The feeder canal and the Chikkar weir from which the feeder canal is proposed for diversion of surplus waters of Ambica River at Feasibility Report stage is also dropped now to avoid passing of the canal through the Vansda national park.
The Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project comprises construction of six dams: namely i) Jheri dam across river Par in Peint taluka of Nasik district in Maharashtra; ii) Paikhed dam across river Nar – a tributary of river Par, iii) Chasmandva dam across river Tan–tributary of river Auranga–all in Dharampur taluka of Valsad district in Gujarat; iv) Chikkar dam across river Ambica, v) Dabdar dam across river Khapri – a tributary of river Ambica and vi) Kelwan dam across river Purna – all in Ahwa taluka of Dang district in Gujarat. Also, construction of 2 diversion barrages–one each in the downstream of Paikhed and Chasmandva dams; 6 power houses; and construction of about 406.118 km long link canal (including feeder pipe line and tunnels along the link canal) passing through Dharampur taluka of Valsad district, Ahwa taluka of Dang district, Vansda taluka of Navsari district, Vyara and Songadh talukas of Tapi district, Mandvi and Mangrol talukas of Surat district, Valia, Jhagadia and Nandod talukas of Bharuch district, Tilakwada and Sankheda talukas of Vadodara district of Gujarat connecting all 6 dams with existing Miyagam Branch Canal of Narmada Canal System of Sardar Sarovar Project are envisaged.
The surplus water proposed for diversion through Par-Tapi-Narmada
link project will provide irrigation to a total area of 232175 ha, of which 61190 ha lies enroute the link canal i.e., 10100 ha is en-route command in the reach between Par and Tapi; 49820 ha en-route command in the reach between Tapi and Narmada; 630 ha en-route command under Dabdar feeder pipelines; 640 ha en-route command under Kelwan feeder pipelines. The command area of five projects proposed by Government of Gujarat on the left side of canal is about 45561 ha to be irrigated by gravity through link canal. Tribal area on right side of canal is 36200 ha will be irrigated by lift. About
lxxii
12514 ha tribal area will also be irrigated directly by lift from proposed six reservoirs.The link project will take over the area of 76710 ha under the command of existing Miyagam branch canal of Narmada canal system. Narmada Water so saved will be utilized to provide irrigation facilities in tribal area on right side of Narmada Main canal to the extent of 23750 ha in Chhota Udepur district and 10592 ha in Panchmahal district through lift directly from Narmada Main canal on substitution basis and 42368 ha area in Saurashtra region of Gujarat State. A provision of about 76 MCM of water is allocated to meet drinking water supply to 27.60 lakh population in the above areas. Also, a provision of 50 MCM is made for filling of 2226 panchayat and village tanks/check dams in the benefitted areas.The project will also generate about 102 MU of hydropower from the power houses proposed at various dams and canal fall, besides providing drinking water to the villages in the region.
NWDA and CWC jointly carried out hydrological studies of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project during March, 2012 to assess the water balance position at the ultimate stage of development (by the year 2050 AD) in Par, Auranga, Ambica, Purna river basins and at the proposed dam sites. As per these studies the net annual yields at Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites are assessed to be 371 MCM, 250 MCM, 64 MCM, 170 MCM, 262 MCM and 308 MCM respectively keeping a provision for upstream utilizations planned by the States for irrigation, domestic requirement, industrial requirement, regeneration from domestic and industrial uses and the environmental and ecological needs in the down-stream. Thus about 1425 MCM of surplus water at 75% dependability is available at the 6 reservoirs proposed in Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins.
The total utilisation through Par–Tapi–Narmada link from 6 dams will be 1330 MCM. However, at later stage when the public hindrance is resolved and the required field survey and investigations are carried out the proposed Mohankavchali dam will also be dovetailed with Par–Tapi–Narmada link project.
lxxiii
4.0 Interlinking of the Proposed Project with Other Existing and Future Projects
It is planned to drop the Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal in to the existing Ukai reservoir on the river Tapi and to take it off from the right bank. However, neither the storage of Ukai reservoir nor the waters of Tapi river would be used under the Par-Tapi- Narmada link canal project. But the Ukai reservoir will be used just as a ‘Level Crossing’ for diversion of water through the link canal.
The link canal crosses Narmada river downstream of Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP) and out-falls in to the existing Miyagam branch canal of Narmada Main Canal at RD 16.70 km and takes over part of its command area. Thus saved water under Narmada Main Canal by substitution with the diverted water through the link canal, will be utilized in Saurashtra andKutch region by further extending the Narmada canal system. So, the Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal is integrated with SSP for delivery of surplus waters of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna Rivers to drought prone Saurashtra and Kutch region.
And also, the Government of Gujarat had proposed a barrage across
river Narmada (as part of Kalpasar project) at Bhadbhut and it was desired by Government of Gujarat that instead of terminating the Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal at existing Miyagam Branch Canal of Narmada Main Canal, the NWDA should plan to release water diverted through Par-Tapi-Narmada link into Narmada river at suitable location upstream of proposed Bhadbhut barrage. Accordingly, NWDA has studied an alternative proposal to terminate the Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal at Amravati river (a stream joining the Narmada river downstream of Sardar Sarovar Project) and release the water intended for substitution in the Command Area of Miyagam Branch Canal of Narmada Main Canal into Amravati river for tapping the same at proposed Bhadbhut barrage as planned by Government of Gujarat. However, the Water Resources Department, Government of Gujarat, Gandhinagar, later requested NWDA to carry out Survey and Investigations as envisaged in original proposal. Accordingly, the Survey and Investigations were carried out while preparing the DPR.
lxxiv
5.0 Methodology Adopted
The Feasibility Report of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project prepared by NWDA formed the basis for proceeding further for preparation of Detailed Project Report and make suitable changes based on detailed surveys and investigations and up-dated hydrological and other studies. During preparation of DPR detailed surveys and investigations such as topographical surveys, geological and geotechnical investigations including drilling bore holes on dam axes for obtaining rock cores, construction material investigations including borrow area surveys, socio-economic, ecological and environmental impact assessment studies, seismo-tectonic studies etc. have been undertaken departmentally through various specialized organizations in order to examine the feasibility of the scheme. Detailed geological and geo-technical investigations etc were carried out through GSI and CSMRS; hydrological studies were carried out through CWC. To complete the work in a time bound manner private agencies were hired where Government agencies were not available for the works like topographical surveys, drilling and submergence area survey. Based on these investigations and studies the layout and designs of various components of the project have been finalized. However, while carrying out the topographical surveys and geotechnical investigations at the proposed dam sites and along the canal alignment, resentment against the project by local people has been encountered forcing NWDA’s field engineers to abandon all field surveys and investigations. The subsequent efforts made by NWDA to convince the local people with the help of public representatives and State Government agencies could not yield the desired results. Thus, the detailed surveys and investigations planned at various locations of the link project could not be completed fully. Therefore, in respect of the components for which the detailed surveys and investigations could not be taken up /completed at DPR stage, the information based on the surveys and investigations carried out at Feasibility Report (FR) stage of the link project have been compiled and supplemented for preparation of DPR, as found necessary.
The DPR has been prepared with active support and co-operation of
CWC and other domain expert organizations like, GSI, CWPRS, CSMRS, THDCIL, IMD, NRSC, WAPCOS, RRSC, BISAG etc.

5.1 Data Collection
The preparation of DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project requires various data / information. The rainfall and meteorological data were collected from IMD, Pune; hydrological data collected from CWC and State Water Resources Departments; Remote sensing data (LISS- IV) from NRSC, Hyderabad; topo-sheets from Survey of India. The data / information required by various Designs Directorates of CWC were collected during the field surveys.
Laboratory testing of rock core samples and various construction
material samples were carried out by CSMRS; geological mapping and investigations were carried out by GSI, Jaipur. These data formed the in-puts for design of various components of the project. Simulation analysis was carried out for optimizing the storage capacities and heights of Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dams. The simulation analysis formed in-puts for the power potential studies carried out by THDCIL and the out-put given by THDCIL in the form of power potential studies formed in-put for civil designs of hydel structures. Thus, there were many activities apart from the normal data collection and these activities were successfully managed by NWDA officers and various data required by the consultants were supplied to them for carrying out various consultancy works for preparation of DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada link assigned to them.

The major parts of the detailed survey and investigation works of the project for which in-house capability was available has been carried out by NWDA itself, whereas other specialized survey and investigation works and other technical studies were out sourced to the institutions of eminence in respective fields, mostly the government agencies.
Certain survey and investigations, which could not be completed due to resistance from local peoples in the project area, are proposed to be carried out at pre-construction stage. 6.0 Climate
The climate of the Par-Tapi-Narmada link project area is moderate except during the months of April and May. Summer is hot and winter is generally cold. The year may be divided into four seasons, the cold season from December to February followed by the hot season from March to May and the south-west monsoon season from June to Sept followed by the post-monsoon season from October to November.
Par–Tapi–Narmada link involves Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins of South Gujarat and neighboring Maharashtra. All these 4 river basins have the same hydro meteorological characteristics. Most of the rainfall is received during the South-West monsoon period, i.e. from June to Sept. The average annual rainfall in the Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins is 2180 mm, 2055 mm, 1830 mm and 1472 mm respectively.
Two meteorological observatories i.e. Surat and Vadodara maintained
by IMD located adjacent to the project area have been used to characterize
lxxxii
the climatic conditions of the project area. The average maximum and minimum temperatures recorded are 39.9 °C and 13.2 °C respectively. The monthly mean relative humidity data of the project area indicates the maximum and minimum values of humidity as 94% (Aug) and 44% (Apr) during monsoon and summer seasons respectively. The maximum and minimum wind velocities observed are 13.3 km/hr and 1.7 km/hr respectively. The maximum cloud cover is observed during the months of July and August whereas the minimum cloud cover is observed during months of Jan and Feb. There is no pan-evapometer installed in the project area. The mean monthly average evapotranspiration computed for Surat IMD observatory varies from 99.2 (Dec) to 202.0 mm (May), whereas the same at Vadodara IMD observatory varies from 92.9 mm (Dec) to 246.4 mm (May). 7.0 Topography and Physiography Jheri and Paikhed Reservoirs: The Jheri reservoir is proposed across Par river and Paikhed reservoir is proposed across Nar river, a tributary of Par. The Par river originates from the Sahyadri hill ranges near village Gogul of Surgana taluka in Nasik district of Maharashtra. The Par basin can be divided into two prominent physiographic zones. The eastern part comes under rugged mountain chains of the Sahyadri hills and undulating slope on the western side to the edge of the uplands of Valsad district. This region is placed at a steep slope of elevation 1050 m to 100 m. The Western part, barring the coastal plains, is essentially in the sub-Sahyadrian zone of hills and valley generally lies at an elevation below 100 m. Deccan traps with dykes of quarternary and tertiary ages occupy most of the area of the basin. The middle ranges have developed on the Deccan traps and the intermediate amphitheatres have developed out of the alluvial debris washed from the hills. The lower reaches of the basin upto the coastal margins are mainly alluvial plains. Chasmandva Reservoir: The Chasmandva reservoir is proposed across Tan river, a tributary of Auranga river. The river is known as Auranga after the confluence of its two tributaries the Man and the Tan. Both tributaries originate in the Sahyadri hill ranges in the Nasik district of Maharashtra. The area is hilly and covered with forest in the upstream reaches, while the
lxxxiii
area down-wards from about 30 km upstream of confluence of the Tan and the Man rivers can be described as plain with cultivated lands. Physiographically, the basin can be divided into five groups namely i) hill tops and hill slopes, ii) hill terraces and uplands, iii) upper and lower foot slopes (medium land) iv) valley plains and local depressions (low lands) and v) river and stream beds. The geological formations in the region belong to the Precambrian, Mellpozoic, Tertiary and Quarternary ages. Deccan traps occupy major portion of the upper reaches. Chikkar and Dabdar Reservoirs: The Chikkar reservoir is proposed across Ambica river and Dabdar reservoir is proposed across Khapri river, a tributary of Ambica river. The Ambica river originates in the Sahyadri hill ranges near village Kotambi of Surgana taluka in Nasik district of Maharashtra. Ambica basin is bounded by Western Ghats separating Ambica and Tapi rivers in east, the ridge separating Auranga and Ambica rivers in south, Arabian Sea in west and the ridge separating Ambica and Purna rivers on north. The basin can be divided into two prominent physiographic zones. The eastern part comes under rugged mountain chains of the Sahyadri hills and undulating slope on the western side up to the edge of the uplands of Surat district. This region is placed at a general elevation of 1050 m to 100 m. The western part, barring the coastal plains, is essentially in the sub-Sahyadrian zone of hills and valleys generally below 100 m elevation. Deccan traps with dykes of Quaternary and Tertiary ages occupy most of the area of the basin. Kelwan Reservoir: The Kelwan reservoir is proposed on Purna river. The river rises in the Sahyadri hill ranges of the Western Ghats at an elevation of about 1300 m in the Ahwa taluka of Dang district in Gujarat and after traversing a distance of 180 km, it outfalls into the Arabian sea. The level of the river bed drops steeply from 1300 m at source to about 115 m at the dam site as the river in this reach passes through hilly area covered with dense forest and patches of cultivated land. Physiographically, the basin can be divided into three zones namely, i) eastern zone, ii) middle zone and iii) coastal zone. The eastern zone of the basin cover a chain of rugged mountain ranges of the Western Ghats running to elevations of over 1300 m and descending to an elevation of about 100 m at the edge of the uplands of the Surat district. The middle zone of the basin is marked by high relief
lxxxiv
zone with ridges and valleys. The hilly region then merges into the plain through an undulating piedmont coastal zone running parallel to the sea. Link Canal and Feeder pipe lines: The Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal is aligned through Valsad, Navsari, Tapi, Surat, Bharuch, Narmada, and Chhota Udepur districts of South Gujarat. The terrain through which the link canal is aligned is undulating. Three Feeder pipe lines are proposed, one each from Chasmandva barrage; Dabdar and Kelwan dams respectively for diversion of water in to the link canal. The canals are aligned skirting the hill slopes and the terrain is undulating.
The Command Area of the link canal lies in Navsari, Tapi, Surat and Bharuch districts. The Command Areas of Dabdar and Kelwan Feeder pipe lines lie in Ahwa taluka of Dang district and Vyara Taluka of Tapi district. Topography of the command area is undulating and of moderate slope. Basaltic out crops are seen in Vansda taluka of Navsari district in which the Command area lies. The Command Area in Tapi district comprises of Deccan trap Basalt of Cretaceous-Eocene age, which is overlain by quaternary alluvium. Limestone and clay formation of Eocene ages and quaternary alluvium formation are seen in the Command Area lying in Surat district. In the eastern side of Bharuch district, where the Command Area lies, Basaltic rocks are seen. 8.0 Population
The population in the Valsad, Dang, Navsari, Tapi, Surat, Bharuch, Narmada, and Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal districts of South Gujarat and Saurashtra and Kutch region will get irrigation and drinking water supply benefits from the link project.
9.0 Geology, Geophysical, Geo-technical and Seismic Study i) Local Geology
The Par-Tapi-Narmada link project area is occupied by Deccan Lava flows intruded by dolerite dykes and sill. Very commonly due to differentiation the middle portion of a flow exhibits a dolerite texture. They are of Cretaceous-Eocene age.
lxxxv
ii) Sub-surface Geology and Foundation Investigations
The geological investigations were carried out for Jheri, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites during the preparation of Feasibility Report (FR) of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project by Engineering Geology Division, GSI, Western Region, Jaipur. The DPR stage geological investigation work of Par–Tapi–Narmada link project was assigned to GSI, Jaipur and the geological and geo-technical investigations at Paikhed and Chasmandva dam sites were carried out by them. But, due to opposition from local peoples in carrying out the field survey and investigation work the geological investigations could not be taken-up by GSI at other dam sites. As such, the data of geological investigation carried out at FR stage have been used for designing the various components of Par–Tapi–Narmada link project at DPR stage. Jheri Dam: Jheri dam site has been explored by four numbers bore holes, in order to evaluate the sub-surface rock / over burden conditions. The bore hole cores have been logged by GSI, Jaipur and their data was analyzed to find out foundation grade levels and water tightness of bed rock as well as to ascertain the soil structure and its permeability characteristics. Paikhed Dam: In order to evaluate the sub-surface rock / over burden conditions the Paikhed dam site has been explored by 12 numbers of NX size bore holes. The bore hole cores have been logged and their data was analyzed to find out foundation grade levels and water tightness of bed rock as well as to ascertain the soil structure and its permeability characteristics. Chasmandva Dam: The Chasmandva dam site has been explored by 19 numbers of NX size bore holes. The bore hole cores have been logged and their data was analyzed to find out foundation grade levels and water tightness of bed rock as well as to ascertain the soil structure and its permeability characteristics. Chikkar Dam: Chikkar dam site has been explored by four numbers of NX size bore holes and eight numbers of trail pits, in order to evaluate the sub-surface rock / over burden conditions. The bore hole cores and trail pits
lxxxvi
have been logged and their data was analyzed to find out foundation grade levels and water tightness of bed rock as well as to ascertain the soil structure and its permeability characteristics. Dabdar Dam: Dabdar dam site has been explored by four numbers of NX size bore holes and seven numbers of trail pits, in order to evaluate the sub-surface rock / over burden conditions. The bore hole cores and trail pits have been logged by GSI, Jaipur and their data was analyzed to find out foundation grade levels and water tightness of bed rock as well as to ascertain the soil structure and its permeability characteristics. Kelwan Dam: To evaluate the details sub-surface conditions at Kelwan dam site four numbers of bore holes were recommended by GSI; two in the river section and one each on the either bank. Due to public hindrance in the project area no bore hole could be drilled. However, the Kelwan dam site could be explored by 8 trial pits / trenches. Tunnels: Due to public hindrance no subsurface explorations could be carried out. iii) Seismicity
Par- Tapi- Narmada project area lies in the Seismic zone –III as per the seismic zone map of India. The studies for site specific design ground motion parameters for the various components of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project has been carried out by CWPRS, Pune during the year, 2011. As per these studies the deterministic estimate is found to be governed by a maximum credible earthquake magnitude of 6.3 at a closest distance of 20.1 km to the fault rupture plane. The area of 7 dams and three barrage sites proposed in Par–Tapi–Narmada link project has been divided into three clusters. Both deterministic and probabilistic approaches have been applied to arrive at the Maximum Credible Earthquake (MCE) and the Design Basis Earthquake (DBE) levels of ground motion. For both the MCE and DBE levels of design ground motion, it is found that the deterministic target spectra are higher than the probabilistic spectra for all the three clusters. To be on the conservative side, the same has been recommended as a basis for the design ground motion. The values of the peak ground acceleration for
lxxxvii
horizontal and vertical components are found to be 0.172 g and 0.145 g for MCE condition, and 0.089 g and 0.076 g for DBE condition, respectively for Cluster-1. For Cluster-2 and Cluster-3, the corresponding values are found to be 0.171 g and 0.139 g for MCE condition, and 0.079 g and 0.067 g for DBE condition respectively. This report has been approved by the National Committee on Seismic Design Parameters in its 23rd meeting held on 20th Nov, 2012. 10.0 Hydrology and Water Assessment
The water availability studies at Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites have been carried out by the Hydrological Studies Organization, CWC, New Delhi as a part of “Hydrological Studies of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project” in consultation with NWDA and Water Resources Departments of Gujarat and Maharashtra to assess the water balance position at the ultimate stage of development (by the year 2050 AD). As per the study the 75% dependable gross annual yields at Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites are 391 MCM, 264 MCM, 70 MCM, 220 MCM, 323 MCM and 362 MCM respectively.
After considering the upstream utilizations planned by the States for irrigation through existing, ongoing and proposed projects, hydropower projects, reservoir evaporation losses, domestic and industrial requirements about 371 MCM, 250 MCM, 64 MCM, 170 MCM, 262 MCM and 308 MCM of surplus waters at 75% dependability are available at proposed Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites respectively for diversion through Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal.
11.0 Flood Control and Drainage
No flood storage is earmarked in any of the reservoirs proposed under Par-Tapi-Narmada link project. However, due to storage in the reservoirs and release into the link canal / feeder pipe lines for irrigation domestic and industrial water supply, there will be incidental flood moderation in the areas down-stream of Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites.
lxxxviii

18.0 Construction and Equipment Planning
The Construction Planning, Equipment Planning and Man-power Planning has been carried out by Construction Machineries Consultancy (CMC) Directorate of Central Mechanical Organization, CWC, New Delhi. 19.0 Environmental and Ecological Aspects of the Project
The water resources projects when built increase the water availability leading to various developmental activities and prosperity in the area, but some adverse impacts on the environment are also seen. As such it is necessary to identify the adverse impacts of the project and suggest the measures to mitigate or ameliorate the anticipated adverse impacts on the environment. To identify the possible environmental impacts, both positive and adverse due to the proposed Par-Tapi-Narmada link project and to suggest measures to mitigate or ameliorate the anticipated adverse impacts on the environment, the Environmental Impact Assessment Study of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project has been carried out through WAPCOS Ltd.
i) Base Line Study and EIA Study
The baseline levels of environmental parameters which could be significantly affected by the implementation of the project are essential to be ascertained before implementation of the project. The baseline status shall involve both field work and review of data collected from secondary sources. The baseline survey planning commenced with the short listing of impacts and identification of parameters for which the data needs to be collected. Baseline status has been ascertained for air environment, water environment, land environment, public health and biological (terrestrial and aquatic) environment. The likely impacts due to the project during construction and operation phases have been studied on the aspects like land, water and air environments, aquatic and terrestrial ecology, socio-economic, impact on public health, risk on failure of dam structures etc.
xcv
ii) Flora and Fauna
The impacts on forest cover; rare, endangered and threatened species and impacts on wildlife such as impact due to habitat change having effect like corridor loss and loss of migratory path for wildlife including birds, impact on breeding grounds of species, impacts on access of animals to food and shelter have been studied. The study indicates that rare, endangered and threatened species are not reported in the study area. The impacts due to acquisition of forest land shall be mitigated through compensatory afforestation measures and implementation of bio-diversity conservation measures suggested in the EMP. The area to be brought under irrigation within the command area is devoid of forests. The project area is interspersed with settlements and agricultural land. In such settings large scale faunal population is not observed. Thus, no significant impact on wild life is anticipated due to the project. Purna and Vansda Wild life Sanctuaries are falling within the study area. The project shall not acquire any land from these sanctuaries. However, adverse impacts on account of increased human interferences may take place during project construction phase. A detailed anti-poaching plan including surveillance measures outlined in the Environmental Management Plan.
The impact on aquatic ecology due to increase in the turbidity levels; spawning areas of fishes; damming of rivers and impacts on migratory fish species etc. have also been studied.
iii) Land Use Pattern Majority of the environmental impacts during construction phase are temporary in nature, lasting mainly during the construction phase and for small duration beyond the construction period. The major impacts anticipated on land environment during construction phase are: environmental degradation due to immigration of labour population; operation of construction equipment; soil erosion; and solid waste management. Remedial measures have been suggested to mitigate/ameliorate these impacts. During operation phase the impact is mainly due to submergence of land by the Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs. These 6 reservoirs will
xcvi
submerge about 6065 ha land (Jheri 836 ha, Paikhed 994 ha, Chasmandva 615 ha, Chikkar 742 ha, Dabdar 1249 ha and Kelwan 1629 ha) of which 2829 ha forest land, 2364 ha culturable and other and river portion land 872 ha.
(iv) Environmental Management Plan (EMP)
The various environmental aspects such as pollution control at construction sites; water quality management; land management plan, biodiversity conservation and management plan; green belt development plan; environmental management in labour camps; public health management; catchment area treatment (CAT) plan, dam break analysis and disaster management programme (DMP), environmental monitoring programme etc have been considered and suitable provisions have been kept in the estimate.
The total water demand of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project is about
1330 MCM (PTN link canal requirement: 1210 MCM; Environmental releases d/s of proposed dam sites: 20 MCM; Local domestic and industrial requirement in the vicinity of proposed reservoirs: 60 MCM; and evaporation losses proposed in the reservoir: 40 MCM). The reservoirs are devoid of any minerals of economic importance and no monuments or any remains of archaeological importance were noticed in the project area of the Link. Ensured release of minimum quantity of water required to maintain the river ecology down-stream of dams during lean season will increase the river ecology. Due to creation of Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs the ground water level in the down-stream areas will rise. The water samples tests indicate that organic and heavy metal components in the water are within permissible limits. The rocks in the reservoirs area are hard, massive and devoid of any major fault or shear zones while the joints are mostly tight and as such there will be no problem of reservoir leakage. The total estimated cost for implementation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is Rs 445 crore (excluding the cost of R and R Plan).
xcvii
20.0 Socio-Economic Aspects and Resettlement and Rehabilitation
About 6065 ha land area will come under submergence of proposed reservoirs. Total number of affected families would be 2509 of which 98 families would be affected due to creation of Jheri reservoir spread over 6 villages, 331 families would be affected due to Paikhed reservoir spread over 11 villages, 379 families would be affected due to creation of Chasmandva reservoir spread over 7 villages, 345 families would be affected due to creation of Chikkar reservoir spread over 9 villages, 563 families would be affected due to creation of Dabdar reservoir spread over 11 villages and 793 families would be affected due to Kelwan reservoir spread over 17 villages. The affected villages are located in Surgana and Peint talukas of Nasik district in Maharashtra and Dharampur taluka of Valsad, Vansda taluka of Navsari and Ahwa taluka of Dang districts in Gujarat. The affected families may lose their lands or houses or both in the submergence when the reservoirs are created. All the affected families would be compensated for the loss of their lands and houses. The families whose houses are coming under submergence would be resettled in the new habitations and would be assisted to take up some alternative occupation in the new surroundings.
(i) Resettlement and Rehabilitation Plan
The Department of Land Resources (DLR), Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India formulated a policy entitled, “National Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy-2007”. Similarly, the State Governments of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra also developed the R and R Policies for Project Affected Peoples (PAPs) of Sardar Sarovar Project. The provisions of Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill - 2013 have also been considered. The provisions in all these documents have been compared. Keeping in view these policies a R and R package has been developed to compensate the project affected families enabling them to gain at least their levels of living standards. All major sons in a joint family are to be treated as separate families and would be entitled for all R and R benefits.
xcviii
Creation of 6 reservoirs viz. Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan would submerge one villages fully and 60 villages partly. The affected villages are located in Dang and Valsad districts of Gujarat and Nasik district of Maharashtra. All the Project Affected Families will be provided Rehabilitation and Resettlement assistance. The rehabilitation assistance would include sanction of productive asset grant to each head of project affected households and also to each of the major son of such households, besides provision of subsistence allowance, annuity, mandatory employment for one member from each family or compensation, RandR relief aid, vocational training grant, etc. The costs for resettlement of displaced persons includes free residential plot, house building assistance, grant for construction of cattle shed, and civic amenities like domestic water, electricity, school, playground and children park, health centre, resettlement centre, place of worship, community hall, sanitation, drainage, approach roads, public transport, place of funeral etc. The total cost of Resettlement and Rehabilitation of the project affected families including cost of Local Area Development Plan and monitoring and evaluation aspects works out to be Rs.1126 crore.
Socio-economic condition of the people living in command area as well as in near vicinity of the project will improve in general. No major adverse impacts are anticipated due to the link project on the socio-economic front.

Chapter – 1 Introduction
1.0 General
The erstwhile Union Ministry of Irrigation and Central Water Commission (CWC), formulated a National Perspective Plan (NPP) for Water Resources Development for the country in the year 1980, which comprises of two Components: (i) Himalayan Rivers Development Component; and (ii) Peninsular Rivers Development Component. The National Water Development Agency (NWDA) was set up by the Government of India as an Autonomous Society under the Ministry of Water Resources in July, 1982 to study the feasibility of the proposals of the National Perspective Plan and give concrete shape to these proposals. The NWDA after carrying out the detailed technical study identified 30 link proposals for preparation of Feasibility Reports; 14 links under Himalayan Rivers Development Component and 16 links under Peninsular Rivers Development Component. Par – Tapi - Narmada link project is one of the 16 link proposals of Peninsular Rivers Development Component.
The Feasibility Report of Par – Tapi – Narmada Link project was
prepared by NWDA during the year 1995 and circulated among all concerned State Government and members of Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) of NWDA. The link project envisages transfer of 1350 MCM of water from 7 reservoirs contemplated on Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers and 1554 MCM from the existing Ukai reservoir on Tapi river. However, the water balance study of Tapi basin at Ukai dam carried out by NWDA in the year 2002 revealed that Tapi basin is water deficit. The Government of Gujarat had also indicated that there is no surplus water in Tapi basin at Ukai and suggested to revise the feasibility study. Accordingly, the Feasibility Report of Par – Tapi – Narmada link was revised during 2005 and again circulated to all concerned. Since then continuous efforts were made by National Water Development Agency, Central Water Commission (CWC) and Ministry of Water Resources to arrive at the consensus between two beneficiary States of Gujarat and Maharashtra. As a result of these efforts, consensus was arrived amongst the Central Government and concerned States of Gujarat and Maharashtra
2
for preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) of Par – Tapi – Narmadalink project. A tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by the States of Gujarat and Maharashtra and the Union Government on 3rd May, 2010 in the presence of the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India at New Delhi for preparation of Detailed Project Report of Par – Tapi – NarmadaLink Project.
NWDA has prepared the DPR of Par – Tapi - Narmada link project
with active support and co-operation of Central Water Commission (CWC) and other domain expert organisations like Central Soil & Material Research Station (CSMRS), Geological Survey of India (GSI), Central Water and Power Research Station (CWPRS), Tehri Hydro Development Corporation India Ltd (THDCIL), India Meteorological Department (IMD), National Remote Sensing Center (NRSC), Hyderabad, Water & Power Consultancy Services (WAPCOS), Regional Remote Sensing Centre (RRSC), Jodhpur etc.
The DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project was completed by
NWDA in August, 2015 and sent to the Government of Gujarat and Maharashtra vide NWDA, New Delhi D.O Letter No. NWDA/Tech-I/200/44-I/Vol.V/12269 dated 25.08.2015 for their views.
The issue of water sharing and power sharing between the States of
Gujarat and Maharashtra has been discussed at the level of Chief Engineers of the States of Gujarat and Maharashtra and NWDA. Further matter in this regard is taken up at the Senior Officers level of the two States and MoWR, RD&GR, Government of India. Hon’ble Union Minister for WR, RD&GR held meeting with the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Government of Maharashtra on 7th January 2015, 9th January 2016 and 3rd May, 2016 where in Damanganga-Pinjal and Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Projects were discussed among other issues. The Secretary WR, RD&GR held meeting with the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Government of Gujarat on 31-12-2016 at Gandhi Nagar regarding DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link. Government of Gujarat suggested, to include more tribal areas in the beneficiary areas of PTN Link. The DPR has been modified considering the modification /suggestions of Government of Gujarat. The modification in the proposal as per the suggeastion of Government of Gujarat are detailed in para 1.7.1.

1.1 Outline of the Project
Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project now envisages to transfer the surplus waters (after providing the waters to the people in the vicinity of the reservoirs to meet all the requirements in ultimate stage of development) of West flowing Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins of South Gujarat and neighbouring Maharashtra to north Gujarat for utilisation in drought affected Saurashtra and Kutch region, tribal areas in Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal districts by substitution, tribal areas in the vicinity of proposed reservoirs and other areas enroute of link canal including tribal areas right side of link canal .
The requirements of the people in the vicinity will be always met by assigning the first priority. The Par – Tapi – Narmada link project will provide waters for irrigation and drinking purposes in its en-route and take over the part command area of existing Miyagam Branch Canal of Narmada Canal System. The Narmada waters so saved in Sardar Sarovar Project would be utilized in Saurashtra and Kutch region of Gujarat and tribal areas in Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal districts by substitution through Narmada Canal System to meet irrigation, domestic and other requirements.
While preparation of Feasibility Report the Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project proposal comprises construction of seven dams: namely Jheri dam across river Par in Peint taluka of Nasik district in Maharashtra State; Mohankavchali dam across river Par, Paikhed dam across river Nar – a tributary of river Par, Chasmandva dam across river Tan – tributary of river Auranga – all in Dharampur taluka of Valsad district in Gujarat State; Chikkar dam across river Ambica, Dabdar dam across river Khapri – a tributary of river Ambica and Kelwan dam across river Purna – all in Ahwa taluka of Dang district in Gujarat State. Also, Construction of 3 nos. of diversion weirs – one each in the downstream of Paikhed,Chasmandva and Chikkar dam; six power houses; and construction of 400 km long link canal (including 2 tunnels of total 5.5 km) passing through Dharampur taluka of Valsad district, Ahwa taluka of Dang district, Vansda taluka of Navsari district, Vyara and Songadh talukas of Tapi district, Mandvi and Mangrol talukas of Surat district, Valia, Jhagadia and Nandod talukas of Bharuch district, Tilakwada Mahal and Sankheda talukas of Vadodara district of Gujarat State connecting all seven dams with existing Miyagam Branch

Canal of Narmada Canal System are envisaged. The surplus water proposed for diversion through Par-Tapi-Narmada link shall take over the part command of existing Miyagam Branch Canal of Narmada Canal System and the Narmada water so saved shall be utilized to extend the irrigation facilities and also to meet the drinking water and other requirements in the drought prone Saurashtra and Kutch region of north Gujarat. The project will provide irrigation to a total area of 1.69 lakh hectare annually which includes 0.52 lakh hectare new command area in its enroute region in Navsari, Surat, Dang and Bharuch districts of Gujarat State and take over about 1.17 lakh hectare area in the command area of existing Miyagam Branch Canal of Narmada Canal System. The project will also generate about 93 Mkwh of hydropower from the power houses proposed at various dams and canal falls, besides providing drinking water to the villages in the region.
The objective of the proposed Par-Tapi-Narmada link project is to divert surplus water available in the west flowing rivers between Par and Tapi (including Par but excluding Tapi) of south Gujarat and neighbouring Maharashtra for utilization in the drought prone Saurashtra and Kutch region of north Gujarat by substitution.

*Note: Mohankavchali dam has not been considered in the present planning of Par – Tapi – Narmada link
Due to public hindrance in carrying out field survey and
investigations during preparation of Detailed Project Report of Par – Tapi – Narmada link project, the required field investigations could not be carried out at proposed Mohankavchali dam. This aspect was viewed during the meeting of Director General, NWDA with the concerned Chief Engineer of CWC on dated 18.02.2012 regarding completion of various design consultancy works for preparation of Detailed Project Report. It was decided that the NWDA shall examine the possibility of transfer of water directly from Jheri reservoir to Paikhed reservoir /barrage by avoiding Mohankavchali dam.As such, the Mohankavchali dam has not been considered in the present planning of Par – Tapi – Narmada link. However, at later stage when the public hindrance is resolved and the required field survey and investigations are carried out the proposed Mohankavchali dam will also be dovetailed with Par – Tapi – Narmada link. The diverted water will be utilised enroute of link canal to provide domestic water and irrigation facilities in the new areas and take over part command of existing Miyagam Branch Canal of Narmada Canal System. The Narmada waters so saved will be utilised by substitution in the Saurashtra and Kutchregion of North Gujarat for providing domestic water supply and irrigation facilities through Narmada Canal System.
To work out the quantity that can be diverted from Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs for use in enroute and in Saurashtra and Kutch region of Gujarat by substitution, simulation analysis considering the inflows, local demands, committed down-stream release, environmental flow requirement and capacity of the reservoirs has been carried out for the period from 1975 to 2004. Simulation analysis indicates the total water demand of the link projectis about 1330 MCM. The Details are given in Table-1.5.The dam wise quantity of water

1.2 Justification and Objective of the Project The rainfall in Saurashtra and Kutch regions of Gujarat is very scanty
and the area is frequently affected by droughts.The annual normal rainfall (1951-2000) in Saurashtra & Kutch region is 507 mm and whereas the average annual Rainfall in Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins is assessed to be 2217, 2063, 1833 and 1472 mm respectively. The rivers in Saurashtra & Kutch region are mostly dry throughout the year. Whereas, sizable quantum of flows of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers are going to sea unutilised every year.The water availability studies of these basins carried out by CWC indicates availability of sizable surplus waters as mentioned in Table: 1.1.The available surplus waters shall be stored in the reservoirs to be constructed on these rivers and diverted to Saurashtra & Kutch regions for meeting irrigation, drinking and other needs.However, before considering any water transfer from these basins the water requirements of the peoples in the vicinity of the proposed reservoirs and en-route of link canal will be met on first priority. The Par-Tapi-Narmada link project is one of the viable options to divert the surplus flows of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers to drought prone Saurashtra & Kutch regions of Gujarat.
10
Accordingly, Preliminary Feasibility study to ascertain whether the project is feasible, was carried out for diversion of surplus waters of West flowing Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers of South Gujarat to drought affected Saurashtra and Kutch region of Gujarat State. The project was found techno- economically viable and accepted by the TAC of NWDA. While working out the quantity of water that can be diverted through Par- Tapi – Narmada link, the in-basin requirements of water up-stream and down-stream of dams for ultimate stage of development have been considered, as such the diversion of water through the proposed Par- Tapi – Narmada link project is justified.
1.3 Lessons Learned from Previous Projects
A few examples of Inter-basin water transfer Projects implemented in
the past as well as recent past in India are as under: Periyar Project: The project is the most notable endeavor of the 19th century in trans-basin diversion. The project involves transfer of water from Periyar basin to Vaigai basin. A masonry gravity dam of 47.28 m high has been constructed across a gorge on west flowing Periyar river. A 1,740 m long tunnel with a discharging capacity of 40.75 cumecs has been driven across the mountain barrier to convey the water eastwards to Vaigai basin. The project was commissioned in 1895 and provided irrigation to an area of 57,923 ha initially, which has since been extended to 81,069 ha. There is also a power station of 140 MW capacity. Parambikulam - Aliyar: The project is a complex multi-basin multi-purpose project of seven streams; five flowing towards the west and two towards the east, which have been dammed and their reservoirs interlinked by tunnels. The project envisages transfer of water from Chalakudy basin to Bharatapuzha and Cauvery basins. The water is ultimately delivered to drought prone areas in Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu and the Chittur area of Palakkad District of Kerala. The command area for irrigation is presently about 1,62,000 ha. There is a total of 185 MW power generation capacity at four power houses. This project was built during the second and third five year plans.
11
Kurnool - Cudappah Canal: A private company started this scheme in 1863. The project envisages transfer of water from Krishna basin to Pennar basin. A 8.23 m high anicut was built on the river Tungabhadra upstream of Kurnool town. A 304 km long canal with a capacity of 84.9 cumecs at its head extends from Krishna to Pennar basin and irrigates an area of 52,746 ha. The scheme was taken over by Government of India in 1882. Telugu Ganga Project: This project has been implemented primarily to meet the pressing need of water supply to Chennai metropolitan area. It brings Krishna water from Srisailam reservoir through an open canal, first to Somasila reservoir in Pennar valley. This involves rock cuts upto 35 m deep. From Somasila, the water is taken through a 45 km canal to Kandaleru and then to Poondi reservoir in Tamil Nadu through another 177 km long canal. By mutual agreement, 12 TMC of water is to be delivered to Tamil Nadu at the border, from Krishna basin. This will greatly augment the water supply to Chennai city. The canal also irrigates 2.33 lakh ha in Andhra Pradesh en-route. The project was made possible by Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh voluntarily foregoing 5 TMC each from their entitlement. This project is a fine example not only of hydraulic engineering but also of Inter- State co-operation. Ravi-Beas-Sutlej- Indira Gandhi Nahar Project: Beas-Sutlej link in combination with the Indira Gandhi Nahar Project is a standing example of how the large inter basin transfers brought about all round socio-economic growth with overall enhancement in the ecology and environment of the region. Under the Indus Water Treaty, the water of three eastern rivers viz. Sutlej, Beas and Ravi were allocated to India. As the land to be benefited in India lies mostly to the east and south of these rivers, the rivers had to be interlinked and the water conveyed through canal systems for serving vast tracts in India. The main storage on Sutlej is at Bhakra, while that on Beas is at Pong. Bhakra system provides irrigation to 26.3 lakh ha of new area besides stabilization of existing irrigation of 9 lakh ha. The aggregate generation capacity of power on Bhakra Nangal Project is 1,354 MW. A diversion dam, Pondoh, 140 km upstream of Pong on Beas, enables diversion of water from Beas to Bhakra reservoir and generates 165 MW of power. The Beas-Sutlej link is 37.25 km long of which 25.45 km is tunnel through difficult rock formations. The capacity of the tunnel is 254.70
12
cumecs. Another dam on Ravi namely, Ranjit Sagar dam will provide additional water to Beas and also generate a large block of hydro-power. Subsequently, it was decided to link the Indira Gandhi Nahar Project with the river systems to provide 9.36 BCM of water to Rajasthan Canal for irrigating the areas of Thar Desert.
It is no exaggeration to say that the transfer of surplus waters of Ravi, Beas and Sutlej to Rajasthan right upto Jaisalmer and Barmer through Indira Gandhi Nahar Pariyojana has eliminated drought conditions, provided power benefits, transformed desert waste land into an agriculturally productive area by bringing irrigation and vegetation to about 2 million hectare area. Contribution in agricultural production due to implementation of the project is worth Rs. 1,750 crores annually. Canal water is also available for meeting domestic needs. The project has substantially changed the living standard and socio-economic conditions of the people in the area.
Sardar Sarovar Project: The Sardar Sarovar Project across river Narmada is a landmark project for harnessing the water resources of Narmada river basin in an integrated way to meet the in-basin water requirements as well to transfer surplus water to Saurashtra & Kutch region of Gujarat and desert area of Jallore and Barmer districts in Rajasthan which have no other dependable water source, ensuring to minimize the ecology degradation, advancement of desert and salinity ingress in the regions. The main canal of Sardar Sarovar Project which is 458 km long in Gujarat and 75 km in Rajasthan Crosses several rivers basins in western part of the country; Dhadhar, Mahi, Sabarmati, Banas and Luni. The transfer of water from Narmada to these river basins have regenerated rivers which have become dead in recent past. Although project is still partially completed Narmada Water has also been transferred to 370 villages, Ponds in Gujarat.
These examples indicate that to even out the uneven distribution of rainfall with respect to space and time, Interlinking of Rivers Projects are need of the future.

1.4 National Perspective Plan for Water Resources Development
The erstwhile Union Ministry of Irrigation and Central Water Commission formulated, in the year 1980, a National Perspective Plan (NPP) for water resources development which comprises of following two components:
a) The Himalayan Rivers Development, and b) The Peninsular Rivers Development
The distinctive feature of the National Perspective Plan is that the
transfer of water from surplus basin to deficit basin would essentially be by gravity and only in small reaches, it would be by lifts not exceeding 120 metres. These two components are briefly outlined in the following paragraphs. a) Himalayan Rivers Development
Himalayan Rivers Development envisages construction of storage reservoirs on the principal tributaries of the Ganga and the Brahmaputra in India, Nepal and Bhutan, along with inter-linking canal systems to transfer surplus flows of the eastern tributaries of the Ganga to the west, apart from linking of the main Brahmaputra and its tributaries with the Ganga and Ganga with Mahanadi and augmentation of flow at Farakka.
The Himalayan Rivers Development Component would provide additional irrigation benefits to an area of about 22 M ha and generation of hydro-power for about 30 million KW, besides providing substantial flood control in the Ganga-Brahmaputra basins. It would also provide the necessary flow required to flush the Kolkata Port and for the inland navigation facilities across the country. b) Peninsular Rivers Development This component is divided into four major Parts:
14
i. Interlinking of Mahanadi – Godavari - Krishna- Pennar - Cauvery rivers and building storages at potential sites in these basins This is the major interlinking of the river systems where surpluses from the Mahanadi and the Godavari are intended to be transferred to the needy areas in the south.
ii. Interlinking of west flowing rivers, north of Mumbai and south of the Tapi This scheme envisages construction of as many optimal storages as possible on these streams, and interlinking them to make available appreciable quantum of water for transfer to areas, where additional water is needed. The scheme provides for taking canal to provide waters to Saurashtra and Kutch areas of Gujarat by substitution and another water supply canal to the metropolitan areas of Mumbai, it also provides irrigation to the coastal areas in Maharashtra.
iii. Interlinking of Ken-Chambal Rivers The scheme provides for a water grid for Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh and Interlinking canal backed by as many storages as possible.
iv. Diversion of other west flowing rivers
Heavy rainfall on the western side of the Western Ghats runs down numerous streams which empty into the Arabian Sea. Construction of an interlinking canal system, backed up by adequate storages, could be planned to meet all requirements of Kerala as also for transfer of some water towards east to meet the needs of drought affected areas. The Peninsular Rivers Development Component would provide an
additional irrigation to an area of about 13 M ha and generation of about 4 million KW of hydro power.
15
The proposals of National Perspective Plan would thus give an additional benefit of 25 M ha of irrigation from surface waters, 10 M ha by increased use of Ground water and generation of 34 million KW of hydro power, apart from the incidental benefits of flood control, and other multipurpose benefits.
Two link projects viz. Damanganga – Pinjal link and Par – Tapi – Narmada link were identified under second part of Peninsular Rivers Development Component of NPP. 1.5 Memorandum of Understanding between Centre and States and
Inter-State Aspects Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project envisages transferring the surplus
waters of West flowing Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins of South Gujarat and neighbouring Maharashtra to north Gujarat for utilisation in drought affected Saurashtra and Kutch region by substitution. The Feasibility Report of Par – Tapi – Narmada link was prepared by NWDA during the year 2005 and circulated to the concerned State Government and members of Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) of NWDA. The Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers involved in Par – Tapi – Narmada link project are interState rivers spreading their catchment area in the Gujarat and Maharashtra States.Series of meetings were held by National Water Development Agency, Central Water Commission and Ministry of Water Resources with the concerned States of Gujarat and Maharashtra to arrive at the consensus for preparation of Detailed Project Report of this Project. The concurrence for preparation of Detailed Project Reports of Damanganga-Pinjal and Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Projects by the State Government of Maharashtra was issued by Water Resources Department, Government of Maharashtra vide their letter No. MoU- 2008/(105/08)/WRI of May, 2008 and the concurrence of the State Government of Gujarat was issued by Narmada Water Resources, Water Supply & Kalpasar Department vide their letter No. 5/2005/NWDA(96)-J dated 1st May, 2008. Copy of these letters is placed at Annexure – 1.1 and 1.2 in Volume – II respectively. Subsequently, a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by Hon’ble Chief Ministers of Maharashtra and Gujarat and Hon’ble Union Minister of Water Resources on 3rd May, 2010 in the auspicious presence of the
16
Hon’ble Prime Minister of India. A copy of the MoU is placed at Annexure – 1.3 in Volume – II. The gist of the MoU entered is as follows: 1. Union Government shall identify and decide the organisational
framework necessary for preparation and completion of the Detailed Project Report (hereinafter referred as DPR) of Damanganga-Pinjal link and Par-Tapi-Narmada link.
2. Specific MoUs as required will be entered into amongst the States of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Union Government based on the DPR of Damanganga-Pinjal link and Par-Tapi-Narmada link and Agreements reached on scope of each of the links, sharing of costs and benefits and arrangements for management and control of water etc.
3. The Maharashtra State Government will get the benefits through the
Damanganga-Pinjal Link Project by way of augmentation of water supply to meet the domestic water requirement of Mumbai city, while Government of Gujarat will be free to utilise remaining water spilled from Bhugad & Khargihill dams. In pursuance of the said objective, broad consensus and in principle understanding was arrived at through consensus building efforts of the Union Government and the States of Gujarat and Maharashtra to ensure optimum and integrated planning, successful implementation and effective monitoring and operation of Damanganga-Pinjal Link Project under National Perspective Plan. The issue of water sharing, quantum of diversion in link canal, exploring the possibilities of hydropower generation in Damanganga basin, extending the link to Tansa reservoir etc., raised by States will be addressed and resolved before the finalisation of the DPR.
4. It is proposed that the Gujarat State will get the benefits of Par-Tapi-Narmada link Project through en-route irrigation from the link canal and also in the drought prone Saurashtra and Kutch region by way of substitution. The sharing of hydro power produced in the power house located in this link project will also be studied during the
17
preparation of DPR. In pursuance of the said objective, broad consensus and in principle understanding was arrived at through consensus building efforts of the Union Government and the States to ensure optimum and integrated planning, successful implementation and effective monitoring and operation of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project under National Perspective Plan.
5. The feasibility of utilisation of water by Maharashtra State in their territory by lifting water over the western divide will also be examined during preparation of DPR. The issue of compensating the quantity of water contributed from Maharashtra catchments raised by Maharashtra State will be decided by States mutually after preparation of DPR when diversion quantity through this link is firmed up.
6. At DPR stage, the size of canal from Ukai Dam to Narmada canal will be decided based on simulation studies, keeping in view the request of Government of Gujarat about retaining the size of canal as designed in Feasibility Report of Par-Tapi-Narmada link considering the diversion of water from Tapi basin.
7. The preparation of DPR of both the links, i.e. Par-Tapi-Narmada and Damanganga-Pinjal link will be taken up together by National Water Development Agency, an autonomous body under the Ministry of Water Resources on behalf of Union Government.
8. Both the States shall enter into and abide by Agreements with the Union Government and amongst themselves in the larger interest of combating natural calamities of floods and droughts in different regions of the country.
9. Any review / amendment of the MoU shall be done if the same is agreeable to by all the parties.
10. This is being executed amongst the State of Gujarat, State of Maharashtra and Union Government for preparation of the DPRs of Damanganga-Pinjal Link Project and Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project.

1.6 Selection of Proposed Scheme: 1.6.1 Earlier Proposals
The Government of Gujarat in the year 1973 has carried out a broad study with particular reference of meeting the needs of the drought prone areas of the State. The study contained proposals to inter-link the river of the State with the object of better utilisation of water resources in the State. This study was submitted to the Government of India.
Thereafter, the Government of India requested Gujarat to furnish a
master plan, incorporating studies regarding the availability of water, its committed and projected utilisation and proposals for diversion of surplus waters to the needy areas. Accordingly, a report titled “National Perspectives for Water Resources Development – Master plan of Gujarat for utilisation of surplus water of west flowing rivers south of Tapi” was prepared by Irrigation Department, Government of Gujarat in 1981.
The proposal envisaged a link canal inter-connecting the
Damanganga, the Tapi and the Narmada rivers. This link canal proposed transfer of surplus waters from the west flowing rivers, south of Tapi viz, Damanganga, Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna, to the Ukai left bank canal, thereby releasing 2580 MCM (2.09 MAF) of waters for utilisation in the needy areas of both Tapi and Narmada basins releasing in turn an equal quantity of water as an exchange from Ukai reservoir. Out of this quantity, about 380 MCM (0.31 MAF) of water was proposed to be utilized for irrigating C.C.A. of about 50000 hectares between the proposed link canal and Ukai Right Bank Main Canal which does not have any other sources of irrigation. Culturable command area of about 25,000 hectares to the right of the canal was proposed to be brought under lift irrigation utilising about 190 MCM (0.15 MAF) of water. The remaining quantity of 2010 MCM (1.63 MAF) was proposed to be transferred further north for extension of irrigation in the Saurashtra and Kutch areas through the Narmada high level canal.
The total water resources of these west flowing rivers were assessed
at 11,991 MCM (9.72 MAF), out of which the quantity of about 5,738
19
MCM (4.65 MAF) could be utilized in Gujarat. The transfer of surplus waters from these west flowing rivers was proposed to be effected by building storage reservoirs across these rivers and constructing a link canal of about 290 Km length from Damanganga to Karjan. The contemplated link canal was to be a contour canal with its alignment roughly determined on the basis of quick toposheet studies. Three alternative alignments as mentioned below were thought of:
Alternative I: The waters from the reservoirs on these rivers can be fed to the existing Ukai left bank canal system and the equivalent quantity of 720 MCM (0.6 MAF) would become available at Ukai. This quantity plus 1860 MCM (1.49 MAF) i.e. 2580 MCM of surplus waters available in the reservoirs would be available for further transfer to the areas north of Tapi.
Alternative II: A parallel canal linking these reservoirs and opposite in direction to the Ukai left bank canal may be run to feed the Ukai reservoir itself.
Alternative III: An arterial canal carrying surplus waters from these reservoirs may be runcrossing the Tapi and the Narmada on its way and emptying in Narmada command.
Detailed feasibility studies and accurate cost estimates based on
surveys and designs could only give a correct idea about the relative merits of the three alternatives. However, a transfer of 2580 MCM (2.09 MAF) of water was envisaged from the storages on these rivers and this quantity of water seemed to be adequate to irrigate an area of about 3.44 lakh hectares (8.5 lakh acres) considering an overall delta of 0.76 m (2.5 ft.).
When NWDA came into existence and the study of the Damanganga to Tapi link was carried out, it was found that major portion of yield from the catchment of Damanganga in Gujarat was being developed for utilisation in Gujarat itself through Madhuban dam and very little surplus water from the Gujarat portion of catchment were left for diversion through the Damanganga-Tapi Link. With this in view, toposheet studies and later prefeasibility studies of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link were carried out by NWDA, where the link starts from Par riverinstead of Damanganga River.
20
Pre-Feasibility Report on Par – Tapi-Narmada Link (Technical study
No.PFR/5/90) circulated in March 1991 envisaged diversion of 1389 MCMsurplus water of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna basins to Narmada command system besides enroute irrigation. As per this study, the link canal originates from river Par and terminates at Ukai reservoir on Tapi river. Further the proposed link canal takes off from the right side of the Ukai reservoir and terminates at Vadodara Branch Canal of Narmada Canal System after crossing Narmada river. 1.6.2 Proposal at Feasibility Report Stage
The Pre-Feasibility Report prepared by NWDA was discussed and accepted by the TAC of NWDA. Thereafter, the feasibility study of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link was carried out and the report was circulated to the concerned State Government and the Members of TAC of NWDA during August, 1995. As per this report a total quantity of 2904 MCM was considered for diversion which includes: 1554 MCM of water assumed to be surplus in Tapi basin at Ukai reservoir; and 1350 MCM of water available as surplus at the seven dams proposed under Par - Tapi – Narmada link project. However, the water balance study of Tapi basin at Ukai dam carried out by NWDA in the year 2002 revealed that Tapi basin is water deficit at Ukai dam. Hence, the transfer of 1554 MCM of water of Tapi basin from Ukai reservoir will not be available for diversion through Par-Tapi-Narmada link. Water Resources Department, Government of Gujarat, Gandhinagar vide their letter No. NWDA-1095/2538/(1)/k3 dated 01.02.1996 had also indicated that there is no likelihood of surplus water in Tapi basin at Ukai and suggested to revise feasibility study of Par-Tapi-Narmada link without considering augmentation of water from Tapi basin.
In view of the above, the FR of Par-Tapi-Narmada link (circulated in
the year 1995) was revised considering only the surplus water of 1350 MCM available from the 7 reservoirs proposed in Par – Tapi – Narmada link project. As per the revised study it is found that Par-Tapi portion of the link canal will remain unchanged and in the Tapi-Narmada portion of the link canal the length of the canal will be reduced to 190 km from earlier 225
21
km and the link canal will now terminate at Miyagam Branch Canal instead of Vadodara Branch canal of Narmada Canal System.
The proposal at FR stage consists of the following components: (i) A 773.50 m long composite earth - cum - concrete dam at Jheri across
river Par in Peint taluka of Nasik district of Maharashtra State with FRL 246 m and corresponding gross storage capacity of 186 MCM;
(ii) A 947 m long composite earth - cum - concrete dam at Mohankavachali across river Par in Kaprada taluka of Valsad district of Gujarat State with FRL 158 m and corresponding gross storage capacity of 347 MCM;
(iii) A 1306 m long composite earth - cum - concrete dam at Paikhed across river Nar, a tributary of river Par in Dharampur taluka of Valsad district of Gujarat State with FRL 248 m and corresponding gross storage capacity of 217 MCM.
(iv) A 2837 m long composite earth - cum - concrete dam at Chasmandva across river Tan, a tributary of Auranga river in Dharampur taluka of Valsad district of Gujarat State with FRL 214 m and corresponding gross storage capacity of 79 MCM;
(v) A 1656 m long composite earth - cum - concrete dam at Chikkar across river Ambica in Ahwa taluka of Dang district of Gujarat State with FRL 210 m and corresponding gross storage capacity of 129 MCM;
(vi) A 1046 m long composite earth - cum - concrete dam at Dabdar across river Khapri, a tributary of Ambica river in Ahwa taluka of Dang district of Gujarat State with FRL 169 m and corresponding gross storage capacity of 204 MCM;
(vii) A 1284 m long composite earth - cum - concrete dam at Kelwan across river Purna in Ahwa taluka of Dang district of Gujarat State with FRL 164 m and corresponding gross storage capacity of 255 MCM;
(viii) Construction of three diversion barrages one each in the downstream of Paikhed, Chasmandva and Chikkar dams.
(ix) Six power houses: one each at the toe of Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva and Chikkar dams; and two power houses, one each at the falls of Dabdar feeder canal and Kelwan feeder canal.
22
(x) A 400 km long link canal (including feeder canals and two tunnels of total about 5.5 km long).
The Par – Tapi – Narmada link will provide irrigation to a total area
of 1.69 lakh hectare annually which includes 0.52 lakh hectare new command areas in its en-route in Vansda and Chikhali talukas of Navsari district; Valod, Vyara, Songadh, Uchhal, Mandvi and Mangrol talukas of Surat district (undivided); Ahwa taluka of The Dang district; and Valia, Ankleshwar and Jhagadia talukas of Bharuch district of Gujarat State;and take over about 1.17 lakh hectare areas in the command area of existing Miyagam Branch Canal of Narmada canal system. The Narmada water so saved will be utilized in drought affected Saurashtra and Kutch region of North Gujarat by substitution for providing irrigation, domestic water supply etc through Narmada canal System. The project will also generate about 93 Mkwh of hydropower from the 6 power houses proposed at various dams and canals fall, besides providing drinking water to the villages in the vicinity of the reservoirs and en -route of link canal. 1.6.3 Proposal at DPR Stage
The topographical survey and other investigations have been carried outduring the preparation of DPR. Based on the investigations at DPR stage and also considering the scarce availability of borrow area and sand in the project area, certain changes have been made in various components of the project. Due to resistance from local public while carrying out the field survey and Investigations works at DPR stage no surveys could be carried out at Mohankavchali dam, As such the Mohankavchali dam has not been considered in the planning of Par – Tapi – Narmada link. However at later stage when required field investigations at Mohankavchali may be carried out as this dam can also be dovetailed with the Par – Tapi – Narmada link. In the present planning the waters from Jheri reservoir will be directly transferred to Paikhed reservoir through a tunnel.

1.7 Proposed Modifications in Command area of Par-Tapi-Narmada
Link Project
1.7.1 Need for Modification The DPR of the Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project was completed by NWDA in August, 2015 and sent to the Govts. of Gujarat and Maharashtra vide Director General, NWDA, New Delhi D.O Letter No.NWDA/Tech-I/200/44-I/Vol.V/12269 dated 25.08.2015 for their views. In response, Government of Gujarat have conveyed their observations on DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project vide letter No.Gen/2010/GoI-3/Part-I/MI Cell dated 21.05.2016 and letter No. S/2015/NWDA/2540/J dated 29.07.2016. Government of Gujarat suggested (i) to explore possibilities for providing maximum irrigation facilities to Tribal areas on right side of the canal by lift (ii) to take over the five projects proposed by the Government of Gujarat on left side of the canal in addition to enroute command and target command in Saurashtra etc. to the extent possible. In this context, Chief Engineers level meeting was held between NWDA and NWRWS & Kalpasar Department, Government of Gujarat at Gandhinagar on 11thNovember, 2016 for firming up of modifications in DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project. Also, discussions were held between the then OSD now the Secretary, MoWR, RD&GR, Government of
26
India and the Chief Secretary, Government of Gujarat on 11th November, 2016 and 9th February,2017 regarding Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project. Secretary, MoWR, RD&GR vide D.O Letter No. 2/7/2007-BM(pt) dated 25.11.2016 requested to convey the consent of Government of Gujarat for new irrigation Planning of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project so as to modify the DPR and facilitate early implementation of the project. To finalise the issues for modifications of DPR, Secretary, MoWR, RD&GR alongwith the officers of NWDA and Gujarat Department held a meeting with the Hon’ble Chief Minister on 31.12.2016. It was suggested to modify the DPR by inclusion of following tribal and other areas in the beneficiary area of PTN link proposal (i) Inclusion of command areas of the Projects proposed by the
Government of Gujarat on left side of the canal in South Gujarat. To include the command area of five projects proposed by the
Government of Gujarat namely i) Ugta ii) Sidhumber iii) Khata Amba iv) Zankhari and v) Khuntali. (ii) Providing irrigation to the Tribal areas enroute right side of Link
Canal by lift. Providing water for irrigation by lift for possible maximum Tribal
areas on right side of the Link Canal. (iii) Irrigation in Tribal areas in the vicinity of reservoirs.
Providing irrigation in tribal areas of Dangs and Valsad districts of Gujarat and Nasik district of Maharashtra directly from the all six reservoirs under link by lift. (iv) Irrigation in Tribal areas right side of the Narmada Main Canal
by lift in Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal Districts.
Provide irrigation in the tribal areas of Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal districts of the Gujarat State from Narmada Main Canal on substitution basis.
27
(v) Provision for drinking water
Provision for drinking water for all villages of Dang and Navsari districts, Kaprada and Dharampur taluks of Valsad district and the villages located on the periphery of Jheri Reservoir in Nasik district. (vi) Filling of Panchayat and village tanks in the periphery of
Reservoirs.
Provision for filling all possible tanks in benefitted areas. A line diagram showing the modified water planning of Present
Detailed Project is given at Figure 1.1.
It was also suggested to explore techno-economic feasibility for providing pipe line system instead of open canal for main canal of the link to avoid/minimize the land acquisition in tribal areas as well as to reduce evaporation/seepage losses under Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project. Secretary, Government of Gujarat also vide letter No. Gen/2010/GoI-3/(3)/Part/MI Cell(K-1) dated 18.01.2017 requested NWDA to explore the above possibility, while revising the DPR. NWDA examined the feasibility of pipe line system instead of open canal for Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Canal. As per the study, it reveals that the gradient vis-à-vis ideal velocity of flows in pipe lines have become the constraints in laying the pipe line system due to prevailing large difference of head between the canal off-take point and out-fall point at Ukai reservoir. As the link canal runs mostly in cutting, laying a number of gravity pipe lines with very flatter gradients and lesser velocities for diversion of large discharges lead to heavy excavation which escalates the project cost leading to no significant reduction in land acquisition for the Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal. The note on techno-economic feasibility of providing pipe line in lieu of main canal has been sent to the NWRS & Kalpsar Department, Government of Gujarat vide Letter No. NWDA/IC/V/T-143/504-10 dated 14.03.2017. However, NWDA suggested that gravity pipe line can be adopted in place of feeder canals as discharges are small and lies in hilly
28
terrain. Copy of the minutes of the Chief Engineers level meeting dated 09.02.2017 is enclosed at Annexure – 1.18. Based on the discussions with the Government of Gujarat from time to time during the above meetings, NWDA modified the DPR of the Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project. 1.7.2 Project Planning and Optimisation of Benefits

1.8 Methodology Adopted The Feasibility Report of Par – Tapi - Narmada Link Project prepared by National Water Development Agency formed the basis for proceeding further for preparation of Detailed Project Report and make suitable changes based on detailed survey and investigations and updated hydrological and other studies. 1.8.1 Data Collection The preparation of Detailed Project Report of Par – Tapi - Narmada Link Project requires various data / information. The rainfall and meteorological data were collected from India Meteorological Department (IMD), Pune; hydrological data collected from Central Water Commission and State Water Resources Departments; Remote sensing data (LISS- IV) from NRSC, Hyderabad; Topo-sheets from Survey of India. The data / information required by various Designs Directorates of Central Water Commission were collected during the field surveys.
34
Laboratory testing of rock cores samples and various construction material samples were carried out by Central Soil & Material Research Station; geological mapping and investigations were carried out by Geological Survey of India, Jaipur. These data formed the inputs for design of various components of the project. The Hydrological studies and Irrigation Planning was carried out by Central Water Commission. Simulation analysis was carried out for optimising the height of various dams. The simulation analysis formed inputs for the power potential studies carried out by Tehri Hydro Development Corporation of India Ltd. (THDCIL) and the output given by THDCIL in the form of power potential studies formed input for civil designs of hydel structures. The designs of various components of the project were carried out by Central Water Commission. Thus, there were many activities apart from the normal data collection and these activities were successfully managed by National Water Development Agency officers and various data required by the consultants were supplied to them for carrying out various consultancy works for preparation of Detailed Project Report of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link assigned to them. 1.8.2 Planning and Lay-out
The Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project has been planned to transfer the surplus waters of West flowing Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins of South Gujarat and neighbouring Maharashtra to provide maximum possible irrigation facilities to tribal areas enroute on right side of the Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal; tribal dominant Dang and Valsad district of Gujarat and Nasik district of Maharashtra; tribal areas of Naswadi, Kavant, Sankheda, Jetpur Pavi, Chhota Udepur taluks of Chhota Udepur district, and Halol, Ghogamba and Kalol talukas of Panchmahal district by lift directly from Narmada Main Canal on substitution basis. The link project will also provide irrigation to the command areas of five projects proposed by the Government of Gujarat in its initial reaches and cater the water demands for irrigation & drinking purposes on its enroute. The link project also takesover the part command area of existing Miyagam Branch Canal of Narmada Canal System. The Narmada waters so saved in Sardar Sarovar Project would be utilized for Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal district and in drought affected Saurashtra area of Gujarat through Narmada Canal System to meet irrigation, domestic and other requirements.

1.8.5 Ecological, Socio-economic and Financial Aspects
WAPCOS Ltd, Gandhinagar has carried out the Environmental Impact Assessment Studies of Par – Tapi – Narmada Link Project, the results / recommendations of the study are furnished below: I. Ecological Aspects
The impacts on flora and fauna like increased pressure on aquatic
ecology due to indiscriminate fishing, reduced productivity due to increase in turbidity, migratory fish species, spawning & breeding grounds, degradation of riverine ecology and increased potential for reservoir fishes have been studied. In addition, impacts on rare, endangered and threatened species, access to food and shelter for animals, increased pressure on wood & timber due to labour force, migratory labour population, terrestrial flora, wildlife movement, diversity and productivity of flora, economically / genetically / biologically important plant species, compensatory afforestation, reservoir rim treatment plan, etc. were also studied. Aspects like Catchment Area Treatment Plan, Land Management Plan, Command Area Management, Bio-diversity Management & Fisheries Development Plan, Surface and Groundwater Management, Public Health Management, Environmental Monitoring Programme, Dam Break Analysis and Disaster Management, implementation schedule have been considered and suitable provisions have been kept in the estimate.
No significant rich mineral deposits have been identified in the catchment and hence no acidification of any of the proposed reservoirs is anticipated. Necessary minimum flows in the Par, Nar, and Tan, Ambica, Khapri and Purna rivers during lean season will flush the untreated sewage and hence no impact is expected on river water quality. The flooding of previously forested and agricultural land in the submergence area will increase the nutrients resulting from decomposition of vegetative matter. Enrichment of impounded water with organic and inorganic nutrients will be main water quality problem which will last for a
51
short duration of few years from the time of filling the reservoir. The water samples’ tests indicate that organic and heavy metal components in the water are within permissible limits. No major adverse impact due to the project is anticipated on environmental and ecological angle.

2.2 Topography of the Basins, Reservoirs and Command Area
The link canal passes through Par, Auranga, Ambica, Purna,
Mindhola, Tapi and Narmada basins. Physiographic map of the adjoining area of the Par-Tapi-Narmada link project is at Fig - 2.1. Each of the basins is described below separately:
2.2.1 Par Basin
The Par river is one of the important west flowing rivers in the region,
north of Mumbai and south of the Tapi river. The river rises in the Sahyadri hill ranges at an elevation of about 1100 m above mean sea level in Nasik district of Maharashtra State and traverses a distance of 131 km before draining into the Arabian Sea. The Par river travels mostly through hills covered with forest and patches of cultivated lands on banks of river.
The basin lies in the States of Maharashtra and Gujarat and has a effective catchment area of 1648 km2. The percentages of the area of the basin in the States of Maharashtra and Gujarat are 46.91% and 53.09 %
60
respectively. The basin is part of the Western Ghats portion in Maharashtra and Gujarat and is covered by Deccan traps. 2.2.2 Auranga Basin
The Auranga is one of the important west flowing rivers in the region
north of Mumbai city and south of Tapi river. The river is known as Auranga after the confluence of its two tributaries the Man and the Tan. Both tributaries originate in the Sahyadri hill ranges in the Nasik district of Maharashtra State. The river traverses a distance of about 30 km from confluence of the tributaries before draining into the Arabian Sea. The effective drainage area of the Auranga basin is 748 km2, out of which 150 km2 is in Maharashtra State and 598 km2 is in Gujarat State. The area is hilly and covered with forest in the upstream reaches, while the area down-wards from about 15 km upstream of confluence of the Tan and the Man rivers can be described as plain with cultivated lands.
The Tan river rises at an elevation of about 645 m and the elevation where it meets the Man river is about 50 m. The length of the river upto its confluence with Man river is 52 km. The catchment area of the Tan river upto its confluence with Man river is 289 km2, out of which 68 km2 lies in Nasik district of Maharashtra State and the balance 221 km2 lies in the Valsad and Navsari district of Gujarat State. 2.2.2 Ambica Basin
The Ambica which is a west flowing river, rises in the Sahyadri hill
ranges in the Nasik district of Maharashtra State at an elevation of about 1050 m above MSL and after traversing a total distance of 164 km joins the Arabian Sea in the State of Gujarat. The effective drainage area of the Ambica basin 2685 km2 out of which 102 km2 lies in Maharashtra and 2583 km2 is in Gujarat. The important tributaries of the Ambica river are Khapri, Kaveri and Kharera rivers.
The Khapri river rises at an altitude of 1030 m in Sahyadri hill range in Ahwa taluka of Dang district in the State of Gujarat and joins the river
61
Ambica near village Milan at an elevation of 100 m. The length of river Khapri is about 80 km. The Khapri catchment upto its confluence with Ambica river is spread over an area of 537 km2 which is about 19% of the total catchment of the Ambica basin.
2.2.4. Purna Basin
The river Purna, a west flowing river, rises in the Sahyadri hill ranges of the Western Ghats at an elevation of about 1300 m in the Ahwa taluka of Dang district in the State of Gujarat and after traversing a distance of 180 km, it outfalls into the Arabian sea. The level of the river bed drops steeply from 1300 m at source to about 115 m at the dam site as the river in this reach passes through hilly area covered with dense forest and patches of cultivated land. The effective drainage area of the basin is 2193 km2, out of which 58 km2 lies in Maharashtra State and 2135 km2 lies in the State of Gujarat.
The important tributaries of the Purna river are Girra, Jankhari and Damaskhadi rivers.
2.2.5 Tapi Basin
The Tapi basin is bounded on the north by the Satpura range, on east
by the Mahadeo hills, on the south by the Ajanta range and the Satmala hills and on the west by the Arabian Sea. The basin has an elongated shape with a maximum length of 587 km east to west and maximum width of 201 km from north to south. The basin has two well-defined physical regions, viz. the hilly region and the plains. The hilly region covers the Satpuras, the Satmalas, the Ajanta and the Gawilgarh hills with good forests. The Khandesh and the Gujarat plains are broad and fertile areas suitable for cultivation. The Tapi basin consists mainly of black cotton soils. The coastal plains in Gujarat are composed of alluvial clays with a layer of black soil on the surface.
2.2.6 Narmada Basin

2.2.7 Topography of the Reservoirs
Six storage reservoirs are proposed for storing and diverting the water
through Par-Tapi-Narmada link. These are Jheri dam across Par river; Paikhed dam across Nar river (a tributary of Par river); Chasmandva dam across Tan river (a tributary of Auranga river); Chikkar dam across Ambica river; Dabdar dam across Khapri river (a tributary of Ambica river); and Kelwan dam across Purna river. The Jheri reservoir is entirely lies in Maharashtra whereas, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs lies entirely in Gujarat. Other reservoirs namely Paikhed, Chasmandva and Chikkar reservoirs lie in both Gujarat and Maharashtra. The topographical details of six reservoirs are detailed below:
The Jheri dam is proposed across Par River near village ‘Jheri’ in
Peint taluka of Nasik district of Maharashtra State. Paikhed dam is proposed across Nar River (a tributary of Par) near village ‘Paikhed’ in Dharampur taluka of Valsad district of Gujarat State. It is proposed to divert surplus waters from Jheri reservoir to Paikhed reservoir through 12.70 km long inter-connecting tunnel. The combined waters will be released through the Dam toe Power House of Paikhed dam into Nar river and tapped at
63
Paikhed barrage, proposed at about 4.60 km downstream near village ‘Nani Coswadi’ of Dharampur taluka, and let into the Link Canal which off-takes from Paikhed barrage.
The Chasmandva dam is proposed across Tan River (a tributary of
Auranga) near village ‘Chasmandva’ in Dharampur taluka. The surplus waters of Tan River released through the Dam toe Power House of Chasmandva dam will be tapped at Chasmandva barrage, proposed at about 8.50 km downstream near village ‘Chandha Chikadi’ of Dharampur taluka, and will be diverted into the Link Canal by a Feeder Pipeline of about 2.859 km long.
The Chikkar dam is proposed across Ambica River near village
‘Chikkar’ in Ahwa taluka of the Dangs district in Gujarat State. The surplus water of Ambica River will be diverted through a 14.342 km long inter-connecting Pipeline into Dabdar reservoir after power generation at Chikkar dam toe Power House. The Dabdar dam is proposed across Khapri River (a tributary of Ambica) near village ‘Dabdar’ in Ahwa taluka of the Dangs district. The combined surplus flows of Ambica and Khapri Rivers will be diverted into the Link Canal through a 12.258 km long Feeder Pipeline after power generation at Dabdar dam toe Power House.
The Kelwan dam is proposed across Purna River near villages
‘Kelwan’ and ‘Kakarda’ in Ahwa taluka of The Dangs district. The surplus waters of Purna River will be fed to the Link Canal through a 7.616 km long Feeder Pipeline after power generation at Kelwan dam toe Power House. Another Power House is proposed at RD 5.80 km of the Kelwan feeder Pipeline where considerable drop in ground level is observed.

64
which the Command area lies. The command area in the Dangs district comprises of Deccan trap Basalt. The Command Area in Tapi district is comprises of Deccan trap Basalt of Cretaceous-Eocene age, which is overlain by quaternary alluvium. Limestone and clay formation of Eocene ages and quaternary alluvium formation are seen in Command Area lying in Surat district. In the eastern side of Bharuch district, where the Command Area lies, Basaltic rocks are seen.
(ii) Land Slopes
Slopes of the lands in the command are generally moderate neither steep nor flat.
(iii) Soils
The taluka wise reports of the soil survey carried out by Gujarat Government in respect of the districts falling in the en-route command area have been collected from the Agriculture Department, Government of Gujarat. Reports on land irrigability and soil classification of Banni area of Kutchh region and SSNNL phase I (Upto Mahi river), Soil classification report and soil maps for the talukas lying in reservoir submergence areas and link alignment have also been collected. Using this information the soil map of the enroute command area has been prepared and appended at Plate -4.45 in Volume -VII.
The soils in the command area can be broadly classified into 3 main
categories viz. i) Deep Black, Medium Black to Loamy Sand (Goradu) soils, ii) Deep Black with Alluvial, Laterite and Medium Black Soils and iii) Deep Black Clayey Soils.
2.3 Geology of the Basins, Reservoirs and Command Area 2.3.1 Geology of the Basins
The major part of the ‘Par-Tapi’ portion of the link canal and its
enroute command areas are covered by Deccan trap basalts with isolated
65
deposits of laterite. The geological formations in Par and Auranga basins where Paikhed and Chasmandva dam sites lie, belong to the Precambrian, melipozoice, tertiary and quatertiary ages. Deccan traps which occupy major portion of upper reaches are of two prominent types, one being dark grey to bluish black which are hard, compact and massive and the other being light brown to pink which are soft.
Like in Par and Auranga basins, Deccan traps with dykes occupy
most of the areas of Ambica basin in which Chikkar ad Dabdar dam sites are proposed. The geological formations found in Ambica basin include those of the Quaternary and Tertiary ages. The middle ranges have developed on the Deccan traps and the intermediate amphitheatres have developed out of the alluvial debris washed out from the hills. The lower reaches of the basin contain mainly alluvial plains upto coastal margins.
Deccan traps also occupy most parts of Purna basin in which Kelwan
dam site is proposed. In the east, there are high ridges and deep valleys and towards the west, they merge into the lower reach composed of recent and sub-recent alluvium and sand. The stratigraphical sequences of the rocks found in the basin are Neogene, Paleogene and early Paleogene. A geological map Par-Tapi-Narmada link is at Fig - 2.2. 2.3.2 Geology of Reservoirs
i) Jheri
The Jheri reservoir area is thickly forested and restricted to the valley with steep hills on both sides. Amygdular basalts which are jointed and sheared are encountered in the area. No major fault or shear zone was noted in the area.
ii) Paikhed In the Paikhed reservoir area the Basalts of the Deccan trap forms
foundation rock. The rocks have horizontal to sub horizontal dips. The water percolation test results of these bore holes indicate that the strata in general have low permeability but higher values of equivalent permeability
66
up to 15 lugeons since the rocks in the area have a horizontal to sub horizontal disposition. iii) Chasmandva In the Chasmandva reservoir area the basaltic flows of Deccan Trap form foundation rock. The rock has horizontal to sub horizontal disposition with low permeability.
iv) Chikkar The Chikkar reservoir area consists sub horizontal sequence of lava
flows of Deccan traps. The contacts zone between the successive lava flows are moderately to highly weathered and marked by presence of flow breccias, with predominance of Amygdule. v) Dabdar
The Dabdar reservoir area consists of Deccan traps. The bed rock
constituting the foundation are a sequence of lava flows, which comprises Amygdaloidal, dense, perphyritic basalt and flow breccias with horizontal to sub horizontal dips. vi) Kelwan
The Kelwan reservoir area consists of Deccan traps and it’s
differentiates. The exposed out crops are mainly consisting of horizontal to sub horizontal sequence of lava flows, which includes Amygdaloidal, dense, perphyritic basalt and flow breccias.
2.3.3 Geology of Command Area
The proposed Command Area of the link canal lies in Valsad, Navsari, Dangs, Tapi, Surat and Bharuch, Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal districts of Gujarat State.
67
Geologically the Valsad district comprises of Deccan trap with dykes of quaternary and tertiary ages. The middle ranges have developed on Deccan trap and the intermediate amphitheatres have developed out of the alluvial debris washed from the hills. The lower reaches are mainly alluvial plains.
Geologically the Navsari district comprises of Alluvium (Clay and Sand) and Trap. Basaltic out crops are seen in Vansda taluka in which the Command area lies. Ground water availability in alluvial formations is satisfactory. In Trap area, the availability of ground water is less. The ground water quality in the Command area is good.
Geologically the Dangs district is composed of Deccan trap Basalt. Basalt acts as poor aquifer. The water quality is very good.
Geologically the Tapi district is comprises of Deccan trap Basalt of Cretaceous-Eocene age, which is overlain by quaternary alluvium. The ground water availability is poor in hard rock area but its quality is good.
Limestone and clay formation of Eocene ages and quaternary alluvium formation are seen in Surat district. The ground water availability and quality is good in the proposed Command Area.
Geologically, Bharuch district is mainly divided in two types of rocks. Alluvial formations are seen in western side. In the eastern side, where the Command area lies, Basaltic rocks are seen. Ground water availability and quality is good in the proposed Command Area. Overall, the level of groundwater development in the proposed Command area of the link project can be categorized as “Safe”.
Geologically, in Chhota Udepur district, Rocks of highly intricate and
varied gneissic complex; they are mostly of igneous origin, but on account of interfoliar injection, they have a general northerly foliation strike, and are continuous with gneissic complex of Central Mewar.
68
Geologically, in Panchmahals district Rocks of Aravali System (including Champaners) are Metamorphic and have been affected by tectonic forces forming folds. Basal conglomerates, an impure calcareous facies generally dolomitic in composition, quartzite, phyllites, slates and schists are the rocks under this system. Phyllites are common rocks and occupy large areas with quartzite as intercalations: phyllites grade into schists.

The basin forms part of the Western Ghats in Gujarat.
Physiographically, the basin can be divided into 5 groups namely, 1. Hill tops and hill slopes, 2. Hill terraces and uplands, 3. Upper and lower foot slopes (medium land), 4. Valley plains and local depressions (low lands) and 5. River and stream beds.
70
Geological formations in the region belong to the Precambrian, mellpozoic, tertiary and quarternary ages. Deccan traps occupy major portion of the upper reaches. They are of two prominent types viz. dark grey to bluish black which are hard, compact and massive and the light brown to pink which are soft.
2.4.3 Ambica Basin Ambica is a west flowing river with its catchment area in Gujarat and
Maharashtra. It rises in the Sahyadri hill ranges near village Kotambi of Surgana taluka in Nasik district of Maharashtra. After traversing a distance of about 164 km, it drains into the Arabian Sea. Important tributaries of Ambica river are Khapri, Olan, Kaveri and Kharera.
Ambica basin lies between latitudes 20o 31' N and 20o 57' N and longitudes 72o 48' E and 73o 52' E with effective drainage area of about 2685 km2. Valsad, Dangs and Surat districts of Gujarat and a small portion of Nasik district of Maharashtra fall in this basin.

eastern part comes under rugged mountain chains of the Sahyadri hills and descends on the western side to the edge of the uplands of Surat district. The region is placed at a general elevation of 1300 to 100 m. Western part, barring the coastal plains, is essentially in the sub-sahyadrian zone of hills and valleys and generally below 100 m elevation.
Deccan traps occupy major portion of the upper reaches. In the east,
there are high ridges and deep valleys and towards the west, they merge into the lower reach composed of recent and sub recent alluvium and blown sand. Stratigraphical sequences of the rocks found in the basin are neogene, paleogene and early paleogene. Availability of ground water is restricted to weathered residues and fractured zones.
2.4.5 Tapi Basin
The river Tapi which is the second largest west flowing inland river
of the peninsula rises near Betul district of Madhya Pradesh at an elevation of 752 m. In the head reach for a distance of about 241 km, the river traverses through an open and partially cultivated plain before plunging into a rocky gorge in the Satpura hills. The Tapi basin extends over an area of 65,145 km2 and lies between north latitudes 20o 5’ to 22o 3’ and east longitudes 72o 38’ to 78o 17’ situated in the Deccan plateau. The basin covers a drainage area of 9804 km2 in Madhya Pradesh, 51,504 km2 in Maharashtra and 3837 km2 in Gujarat. The important tributaries joining

Chapter – 3 InterState Aspects
3.1 States Traversed by the Rivers The Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project in the Western part of India is envisaged to transfer surplus water from west flowing Par, Nar (a tributary of Par River), Tan (a tributary of Auranga River), Ambica, Khapri (a tributary of Ambica) and Purna rivers for providing additional irrigation facilities in South Gujarat and for further diversion towards North Gujarat, predominantly to bring maximum benefits to en-route command areas Tribal areas of Dang, Navsari, Valsad, Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal districts.and in Saurashtra region of North Gujarat The Par, Auranga and Ambica rivers originate in the Maharashtra State and flow through Maharashtra and Gujarat States and drain into the Arabian Sea. The Purna River originates in the Gujarat State and drains into the Arabian Sea after traversing through the Gujarat State. However, the catchment area of all these river basins lies both in Maharashtra and Gujarat States. Therefore, the rivers Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna are all inter-State rivers. 3.2 Distribution of Catchment in State and Yields from the
Catchment of the State Concerned

3.3 (a) Effect on Project and of the Project on the InterState
Agreement on Sharing of Waters, Sharing the Benefits and Costs, Acceptance of Submergence in the Upstream State etc., if any
The preparation of Detailed Project Report of the link project had
been taken up with the concurrence of Governments of Gujarat and Maharashtra during the year 2009. Subsequently, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on 3rd May, 2010 by Hon’ble Chief Ministers of Gujarat and Maharashtra with Hon’ble Union Minister for Water Resources in the presence of Hon’ble Prime Minister for preparation of Detailed Project Reports of Par-Tapi-Narmada and Damanganga-Pinjal links (Annexure-1.3 in Volume-II). As per the tripartite Memorandum Gujarat State will get the benefits of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project through en-route irrigation.
The DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project was completed by
NWDA in August, 2015 and sent to the Government of Gujarat and Maharashtra vide NWDA, New Delhi D.O Letter No. NWDA/Tech-I/200/44-I/Vol.V/12269 dated 25.08.2015 for their views.
The issue of water sharing and power sharing between the States of Gujarat and Maharashtra has been discussed at the level of Chief Engineers of the States of Gujarat and Maharashtra and NWDA. Further matter in this regard is taken up at the Senior Officers level of the two States and MoWR, RDandGR, Government of India. Hon’ble Union Minister for WR, RDandGR held meeting with the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Government of Maharashtra on 7th January 2015, 9th January 2016 and 3rd May, 2016 where in Damanganga-Pinjal and Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Projects were discussed among other issues. The Secretary WR, RDandGR held meeting with the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Government of Gujarat on 31-12-2016 at Gandhi Nagar regarding DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link. Government of Gujarat suggested, to include more tribal areas in the beneficiary areas of PTN Link. The DPR has been modified considering the modification /suggestions of
80
Government of Gujarat. The modification in the proposal as per the suggeastion of Government of Gujarat are detailed in para 1.7.1 and briefly furnished below: (i) Inclusion of command areas of the Projects proposed by the
Government of Gujarat on left side of the canal in South Gujarat. Viz., Ugta, Sidhumber, Khata Amba, Zankhari and Khuntali.
(ii) Providing irrigation to the Tribal areas enroute right side of Link
Canal by lift.
(iii) Irrigation in Tribal areas in the vicinity of reservoirs. (iv) Irrigation in Tribal areas right side of the Narmada Main Canal
by lift in Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal Districts. (v) Provision for drinking water in vicinity of reservoirs / Link (vi) Filling of Panchayat and village tanks in the periphery of
Reservoirs.
As mentioned at Para 2 of the MoU, specific MoUs as required shall be entered into amongst the States of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Union Government based on the Detailed Project Report of the Link project and agreements shall be reached on scope of the link, sharing of costs and benefits and arrangements for management and control of water etc.
To review the overall progress of the works for Preparation of Detailed Project Reports of Damanganga-Pinjal and Par-Tapi-Narmada links, the Union Ministry of Water Resources (now Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation) had constituted a Steering Committee under the Chairmanship of Secretary, Water Resources. It was decided during 3rd Meeting of the Steering Committee held on 24th December, 2008 that after the Hydrological studies of link projects are completed, a meeting shall be convened with the concerned States to resolve the issue of Water and Power sharing. The Committee to Monitor and Supervise the overall work for preparation of Detailed Project Reports of
81
Par-Tapi-Narmada and Damanganga-Pinjal Link Projects in its 3rd Meeting held on 31stAugust, 2010 at New Delhi under the Chairmanship of Chairman, CWC also desired that a copy of hydrological study carried out by CWC of Par-Tapi-Narmada and Damanganga-Pinjal links shall be made available to the State Governments of Gujarat and Maharashtra for their observations and also for initiating the discussions on the issue of water sharing.
The Hydrological study of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project has been
carried out by NWDA through CWC, New Delhi. After completion of Water Availability Study of river basins and diversion sites involved in Par-Tapi-Narmada link by CWC, three meetings at the level of Chief Engineers were convened so far by NWDA to discuss the issue of sharing of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river water between the States of Gujarat and Maharashtra i.e. on 23rd September, 2011, 14th June, 2013 and 17th June, 2014 respectively (Copy of the minutes are enclosed as Annexure -5.17, 5.18 and 5.19 in the Annexure Volume-II). The issues that have been emerged during the meetings which pertain to Par-Tapi-Narmada link are summarised below:
i) The sharing of water shall be based on the catchment area of the
respective States duly accounting for the variation in catchment rainfall.
ii) The representative of Government of Maharashtra desired that the
water available at Jheri reservoir shall be utilised by Maharashtra Government and water available at Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs shall be solely utilised by Government of Gujarat and the water available in remaining 4 reservoirs i.e., Mohankavchali, Paikhed, Chasmandva and Chikkar shall be shared by both the States on the basis of the catchment area and variation in the catchment rainfall in the respective States in addition to riparian right. The representatives of Government of Maharashtra also indicated that Maharashtra will utilise their share of water within respective basins in their territory upstream of the reservoirs proposed under Par-Tapi-Narmada link as well in the Godavari and Tapi basins by transfer of water across Western divide.
82
iii) NWDA made a suggestion that due to topographical constraints the Government of Maharashtra may not be able to utilise their full share of water for transfer across western divide and as such, the Government of Gujarat may be allowed to divert the unutilised water from Maharashtra catchment through Par-Tapi-Narmada link for utilisation in en route and drought prone area of Saurashtra and Kutch area in north Gujarat and in lieu of that the Government of Maharashtra may claim share in the Hydro Power likely to be generated through 6 power houses. The representatives of both the States desired to discuss this matter further with their respective Governments to arrive at consensus on these suggestions.
iv) The Methodology adopted in the Water Availability Study Report of Par-Tapi-Narmada link was accepted by both the States and agreed to utilise the details on Gross yield at Jheri, Mohankavchali and Paikhed dam sites of Par basin; Chasmandva dam site of Auranga basin; Chikkar and Dabdar dam sites of Ambica basin; and Kelwan dam site of Purna basin involved in Par-Tapi-Narmada link project and Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins as a whole for planning of various components of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project as worked out in the Water Availability Study Report of Par-Tapi-Narmada link prepared by CWC.
v) The representative Government of Maharashtra indicated that the areas across the Western Ghats of Maharashtra State in the region i.e. Tapi basin is water short and they are planning to utilize 534 MCM of water from Ambica, Auranga, Nar and Par basins by diversion across the western divide through lift schemes. A note prepared on this issue by TIDC was circulated during the meeting.
vi) Chief Engineer (South), NWDA requested the representative of
Government of Maharashtra to provide the details of lift schemes so that the views of Government of Gujarat can be obtained. The representative of Government of Gujarat was requested to examine and comment on the note circulated by TIDC and to study and indicate their opinion on planning of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project by diverting 1030 MCM of water from Gujarat catchment.
83
vii) The representatives of both the States are of the opinion that the issue of water and power sharing of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project needs to be discussed further.
(I) Sharing of Water
During the 2nd meeting at the level of Chief Engineers, it was also decided that NWDA will prepare a comprehensive note on sharing of water and power benefits between Maharashtra and Gujarat. Accordingly, a note has been prepared and circulated to the States. Both the States agreed that the sharing of water should be on the proportionate catchment area basis duly accounting for the variation in the catchment rainfall.
The proposed distribution of water between Gujarat and Maharashtra at 75% dependability at various dam sites proposed under Par-Tapi-Narmada link project is presented in Table-3.3:

(II) Sharing of Hydro Power
Under Par-Tapi-Narmada link, NWDA has proposed six hydropower
84
schemes, out of which five power schemes are proposed at the toe of Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dams and one at the available drop of Kelwan feeder pipe line. The total installed capacity of power generation from all the power schemes is 21 MW and the energy generation that could be achieved from the Power stations is 102 Mkwh. It is proposed that the Hydropower generated as above can be provided for use of Maharashtra in lieu of water contributed by Maharashtra State to the link project.
(III) Sharing of Costs
Appropriate agreements shall be entered into amongst the States of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Union Government based on the Detailed Project Report of the Link Project on sharing of costs.
3.3 (b) Effect on Project and of the Project on the InterState Adjudication, if any
No InterState adjudication exists as of now on sharing the waters of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins. 3.3 (c) Effect on Project and of the Project on the InterState Aspect of

3.3 (d) Effect on Project and of the Project on the Existing and
Sanctioned Projects
The water needs of all the existing and contemplated projects have been considered while proposing water diversion from each river basin. So,
85
the Link Project may not be effected by these projects and the Link Project may not affect these projects.
Though the Par-Tapi reach of the Link Canal drops in the Existing Ukai reservoir on Tapi River, neither the water of Tapi River is proposed for diversion in the Link Canal nor the Link Canal supplement the reservoir with the diverted water. The water let in the Ukai reservoir at its left bank will be drawn instantly from its right bank through the Head Regulator of Tapi-Narmada reach of the Link Canal.
3.3 (e) Any Other Aspect of the Project Involving InterState Problems
The issue of compensating the quantity of water contributed from
Maharashtra catchments raised by Maharashtra State shall be addressed.

Hydrology and Water Assessment
5.0 General
The Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project involves Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins of South Gujarat and neighboring Maharashtra State. The Hydrological studies of this project comprising Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins with Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites were carried out by Hydrological Studies Organization, Central Water Commission, New Delhi. The hydrological studies of the Par-Tapi-Narmada link had been compiled in three volumes by Central Water Commission; Volume– I: Water availability studies; Volume– II: Design flood and diversion flood (in two parts); Volume– III: Sedimentation studies and were appended in “Volume– IV: of DPR i.e Appendices – Hydrology and Water Assessment” of the DPR of the link project prepared by NWDA in August, 2015. Brief details of the studies werealso furnished in “Volume-I: Main Report”of the DPR (August-2015) under Chapter-5 - Hydrology and Water Assessment.
Since the link canal demands and diversion of surplus yields available
for diversion at the above proposed reservoirs are unchanged, no separate Hydrological and Water Assessment studies have been carried out. Brief details of the studies are furnished below.
5.1 General Climate and Hydrology
The climate of the Par-Tapi-Narmada link project area is moderate except during the months of April and May. Summer is hot and winter is generally cold. The year may be divided into four seasons, the cold season from Dec to Feb followed by the hot season from March to May and the south-west monsoon season from June to Sept followed by the post-monsoon season from Oct to Nov.
As per the Hydrological studies, the Par river at proposed Jheri dam
site; Nar river (tributary of Par river) at proposed Paikhed dam site; Tan river (Tributary of Auranga river) at proposed Chasmandva dam; Ambica river at proposed Chikkar dam site; Khapri river (tributary of Ambica river)
148
at proposed Dabdar dam site; and Purna river at proposed Kelwan dam site have been found water surplus at 75% dependability. As such after meeting in-basin requirements (by 2050 AD) of all the above four river basins up to the proposed dam sites and downstream commitments / requirements, surplus water of 1210 MCM has been proposed for diversion to utilize en-route of link canal in the tribal areas lying rightside of link canal,periphery of proposed reservoirs, tribal areas lying right side of Narmada Main Canal (in Chhota Udepur and Panchamahals Districts) by lift;to takeover the command areas of the projects viz., i) Khuntali, ii) Ugta, iii) Sidhumber, iv) Khata Amba and v) Zankhari proposed by Government of Gujarat to supply drinking water to all villages of Dangs District and villages of Kaprada and Dharampur talukas of Valsad District; to fill all possible tanks in the benefitted areas and in water short Saurashtra region of Gujarat by Substitution. The Par-Tapi-Narmada link will also take over the part command area of existing Miyagam Branch Canal of Narmada Canal System and the Narmada waters so saved in Sardar Sarovar dam will be utilized in Chhota Udepur and Panchamahal Districts and Saurashtra region for providing irrigation facilities and drinking water by substitution. The schematic Diagram of the Par-Tapi-NarmLink Project is at Fig. 5.1.

The Par river travels mostly through hills covered with forest and patches of cultivated lands on banks of river. The Narriver is a Northern tributary of Par river. The Nar river flows towards west through Surgana taluka for its initial length of about 39 km. After forming the boundary between Maharashtra and Gujarat for a length of about 4.5 km, it enters the Dharampur taluka of Valsad district in the State of Gujarat and after flowing for about 39.5 km in south westerly direction, it joins the Par river near village Veribhavad at RL 72 m. The total length of river Nar is about 83 km. The diversion point identified across Nar river lies near village Paikhed at about 14 km upstream of its confluence with Par river.
The Auranga river traverses a distance of about 30 km from confluence of its tributaries before draining into the Arabian Sea. The area is hilly and covered with forest in the upstream reaches, while the area down-wards from about 15 km upstream of confluence of the Tan and the Man rivers is plain with cultivated lands. The Tanriver rises at an elevation of about 645 m and the elevation where it meets the Man river is about RL 50 m.
The Ambicariver after traversing a total distance of 164 Km joins the Arabian Sea in Gujarat. The important tributaries of the Ambica river are Khapri, Kaveri and Kharera rivers. The Khapri river rises at an altitude of 1030 m in Sahyadri hill range in Ahwa taluka of Dangs district in Gujarat and joins the river Ambica near village Milan at an elevation of 100 m. The length of river Khapri is about 80 km.

This information is not necessary for the present study. 5.6 Type of Inputs 5.6.1 Hydrological Inputs a) Temporal Data
For economic design of any hydraulic structure such as spillways, barrages etc. estimation of design flood is required. Diversion flood is required for estimation of carrying capacity of the diversion channel.
171
Guidelines are available for selection of methodology for estimation of design flood. For major structures, the design flood is estimated using hydro-meteorological approach and the diversion flood is estimated mainly by frequency analysis of non-peak period flood. Hence, short duration rainfall-runoff data are required for estimation of design flood. Short duration rainfall data are generally measured at the gauging stations / Automatic weather stations using self recording rain gauges. Hourly gauge data are required for estimation of short duration discharge data and non monsoon peak flow data are required for estimation of diversion flood.
To estimate the reservoir inflow, daily discharge series are required. In absence of daily series, ten-daily series can be used. For development of rainfall-yield relationship, daily / monthly average rainfall and concurrent stream flow data are required. The inflow to the reservoir is affected by water utilization at the upstream. Hence the utilization of water by the upstream projects is also required to compute the reservoir inflow. The periodic water demands and releases from the reservoir, and evaporation rates in the reservoir area are also required for simulation study of a reservoir. b) Spatial Data
For estimation of weighted rainfall, the locations of raingauges and the delineated basin boundary are required. The basin boundary also gives the area of the basin which can be used for other purposes such as synthetic hydrograph generation, application of conceptual models etc. For reservoir simulation the elevation-area-capacity data are required which can also be used for reservoir routing. c) Time Units for Simulation Studies
Two types of simulations are mainly carried out: a) routing of design flood through the reservoir to estimate the dam height, b) reservoir simulation with series of inflows and demands to estimate the reliability of the reservoir. For reservoir routing, hourly time unit is used. For reservoir simulation, monthly time unit is adopted. 5.7 Compilation and Processing of Basic Hydrological Data 5.7.1 Hydrological Investigation
172
The yield series have been developed using direct discharge data on
catchment area proportionate where the proposed project is located near the G & D sites after checking the consistency of the observed data. The inconsistent data have been discarded and replaced by rainfall-runoff modeling. Where the discharge data length is short, attempt has been made to extend the series through rainfall-runoff model. The yield series has been developed from the year 1975 onward for working out different dependabilities.
In Par basin the observed flow data is not available at or near the project locations as such the data available at the Nanivahiyal G & D site located across Par river quite downstream of proposed Jheri and Paikhed dam sites has been used to develop rainfall-runoff models to work out yield series at proposed Jheri and Paikhed dam sites. The yield series have been generated from year 1975 to 2006.
In Auranga basin the G & D data available at Amba G & D site across Tan river in the Downstream of Chasmandva dam site and covering an area of 241 km2 has been used to develop rainfall-runoff models to work out yield series at proposed Chasmandva dam. The yield series has been generated from year 1975 to 2006.
In Ambica basin the data available at Kudkas G & D site located across Khapri river just upstream of proposed Dabdar dam site has been used for Hydrological analysis at proposed Dabdar and Chikkar dam sites. The observed discharge data at Kudkas G & D site has been used to develop yield series for proposed Dabdar dam site from the year 1980 to 2006. The yield series has been further extended by using the rainfall-runoff model from 1975 to 1979. The proposed Chikkar and Dabdar dam sites are located very close to each other and have same hydro meteorological characteristics. Hence the G & D data available at Kudkas G & D site has been used for hydrological study of Chikkar dam also. The yield series at proposed Chikkar dam has been developed for the period from 1975 to 2006 using rainfall-runoff model developed at Kudkas G & D site.
In Purna basin the data available at the Kalibel G & D site located across Purna river just upstream of Kelwan dam site has been used to develop the yield series at proposed Kelwan dam site. There are some gaps
173
in discharge data of Kalibel G and D site and observed data is available upto the year 2000 only. Hence, the gaps and the series beyond the year 2000 have been worked out by rainfall-runoff model. The data of inconsistent years have also been generated by rainfall-runoff model. 5.7.2 Data from Other Sources
The data used in this study were collected from various agencies. Rainfall, climatological and evapotranspiration data were collected from IMD and State Water Data Center (SWDC), Gandhinagar. G & D data was collected from Central Water Commission and State Water Data Center (SWDC) of Gujarat State. The data related to Water Resources projects such as location, water utilization and other salient features were collected from Water Resources Departments of the concerned State Governments.
5.7.3 Processing of Data
The time units of available and required time series data are often different. Further, the short duration discharges are not measured but are estimated from the gauge records. This requires preliminary processing of thetime series data. Following hydrological variables were processed in this study: (i) rainfall data (ii) gauge and discharge data.
5.7.3.1 Quality of Data
As indicated earlier the rainfall data at above raingauge stations and G & D data at the respective G & D sites is available for varying periods with some missing records for shorter durations. These missing record values have been estimated using standard statistical methods. The data observed at these sites have been checked for consistency and homogeneity. Both internal and external consistency checks were made on discharge data.
5.7.3.2 Filling of Short Data Gaps
The period of availability of rainfall data at above stations varies and in many cases the data are available for short duration only. However, in the Par basin from the year 1966 to 2006, in the Auranga basin from the year 1962 to 2006, in the Ambica basin from the year 1970 to 2006 and in the Purna basin from the year 1962 to 2006, the rainfall is mostly available for all the stations and the same has been considered in this study. Still there are some gaps in the rainfall data and these gaps have been filled using standard
174
procedure. These gaps have been filled by the normal ratio formula as given below.
Px = Nx/m[ P1/N1+ P2/N2+ ……… Pm/Nm] Where,
Px is estimated rainfall of a station for a particular month and year
Nx is average rainfall of the station for that particular month
P1, P2…… Pm are observed rainfall of nearby stations in that particular month and period
N1 N2…….Nm are average rainfall of nearby stations for that particular month
Using above procedure, gaps in rainfall data have been filled up and the same has been used in working out the weighted average rainfalls in the catchments.
5.7.4 Consistency of Data 5.7.4.1 Consistency Check of Rainfall Data
For this study, the Double Mass Curve (DMC) analysis is used to check the consistency of a rainfall series and adjustment of records. This analysis is based on the principle that when each recorded data comes from the same parent population, they are consistent.
The consistency of rainfall data of all the stations have been checked using double mass curve technique. Plotsof mass curvesindicate that the rainfall data is more or less consistent for almost all the stations. Only the rainfall data of Panchalai rain gauge station in Par basin is showing some inconsistency as indicated in Fig 5.6.
On scrutiny, the rainfall data of Panchalai for the year 1995, 1996 and 1997 are showing inconsistency and found to be on lower side as compared to rainfall of other stations. The rainfall during these years was also compared with observed discharges during the corresponding years. The runoff is not showing any significantly lower values during these years. Hence, the rainfall data of Panchalai station has been modified suitably. The mass curve after correcting the inconsistent data is shown in Fig 5.7.

5.7.4.2 Weighted Mean Rainfall
There are ten rain gauge stations in and around the Par basin; ten raingauge stations in and around the Auranga basin; twenty five rain gauge stations in and around the Ambica basin; and twenty four rain gauge stations in and around the Purna basin. The Weighted Mean Rainfall for the whole basins, catchments upto the proposed dam sites and upto the G & D sites have been estimated by Thiessen Polygon Method. The Isohyetal map of Par, Auranga, and Ambica and Purna basins is at Fig 5.8 to 5.11 respectively.
`5.7.4.3 Consistency Check of Discharge Data
G & D data of all the sites have been checked for consistency and homogeneity. Both internal and external consistency checks have been made on discharge data.
c) Homogeneity Tests
FandT tests were also made on discharge data to check the homogeneity. F-test is used to determine whether two samples have different variances and t-Test is used to determine whether two samples are likely to have come from the same two underlying populations that have the same mean. The discharge data for all the G & D sites have been found more or less homogeneous. However, Runoff factors have also been checked as detailed below in addition to homogeneity checks before adopting the discharge data. ii) External Consistency
The discharge data of all sites were also compared with corresponding rainfall by plotting monsoon yield vs. monsoon rainfall and also computingrun-off factors. a) Nanivahiyal G & D Site on Par River
176
The monsoon rainfall-runoff plot for Nanivahiyal G & D Site is at Fig 5.23(A); monthly rainfall-runoff plot for Nanivahiyal G & D Site for the year 1981 is at Fig 5.23(B) and monsoon rainfall-runoff plot for Nanivahiyal G & D Site after discarding inconsistent years is at Fig 5.24. The runoff factors are in Table 5.11.
The runoff is more than rainfall in almost each month during the year and therefore runoff data of year 1981does not appears consistent. The runoff factors of this year also show inconsistency.

The flow data of inconsistent years have been discarded while
developing rainfall-runoff modeling for working out the yield series.
The flow data of the year 1975,76,77,91,95,2005 and 2006 does not appear consistent with respect to corresponding weighted rainfall. The flow
data of these years was also checked on monthly basis. Monthly
Rainfall-Runoff Plots for years 1975,76,77,91, 2005 and 2006 are at Fig 5.26 to 5.31: 5.7.5 Presentation of Data 5.7.5.1 Rainfall Data
For carrying out the hydrological analysis of an area the average rainfall over that area is required. The rainfall data observed at rain-gauge station represents only point sampling of the areal distribution of a storm. The point rainfall values at various stations can be converted into an average value over the area by three methods: (i) Arithmetic average or mean (AM) method, (ii) Isohyetal method, and (iii) Thiessen polygon (TP) method. In the present study, the arithmetic average or mean (AM) method has been used for double mass curve analysis and Thiessen polygon (TP) method has been used for estimation of average areal rainfall over the study area for rainfall-runoff analysis and estimation of yields through regression from rainfall. 5.7.5.2 Discharge / Yield Data
The observed daily discharge data are available from 1962 onwards with some missing records for Nanivahiyal, Bhervi, Amba, Gadat, Kudkas,
178
Mahuva and Kalibel G & D sites. This daily discharge data have been aggregated to work out the monthly yield at respective G & D sites.
5.8 Water Availability/Inflows 5.8.1 Storage Projects
Six storage projects: Jheri reservoir across river Par, Paikhed reservoir across river Nar (tributary of Par river); Chasmandva reservoir across river Tan in Auranga basin; Chikkar reservoir across Ambica river, Dabdar reservoir across Khapri river in Ambica basin; and Kelwan reservoir across Purna river are envisaged in Par-Tapi-Narmada link project, for which simulation study has been carried out. 5.8.2 Approach in the Current Study
In the present studies the yield series have been developed using direct discharge data on catchment area proportion where the proposed project is located near the G & D sites after checking the consistency of the observed data. The inconsistent data have been discarded and replaced by rainfall-runoff modeling. Where the discharge data length is short, attempt has been made to extend the series through rainfall-runoff model. Normally the yield series has been developed from the year 1975 onward.
In Par basin and Auranga basin, the observed flow data is not available at or near the project locations and therefore, rainfall-runoff models have been used to work out yield series. The series have been generated from year 1975 to 2006. In Ambica basin, the observed discharge data have been used to develop yield series for Dabdar dam from the year 1980 to 2006. The yield series has been further extended by using the rainfall-runoff model from 1975 to 1979. For Chikkar dam, the yield series has been developed using rainfall-runoff model from 1975 to 2006. In Purna basin the yield series for Kelwan dam has been developed using the discharge data of Kalibel G & D site. There are some gaps in discharge data of Kalibel G & D site and observed data is available upto the year 2000 only. Hence, the gaps and the series beyond the year 2000 have been worked out by rainfall-runoff model. The data of inconsistent years have also been generated by rainfall-runoff model.

5.8.3 Hydrological Inputs Required for Simulation
The natural water availability at Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan project locations is mainly confined to monsoon months (June to Sept) and these projects are being planned for storages. For such storage projects as per the “Guidelines for preparation of Detailed Project Report of Irrigation and Multi Purpose projects, 2010” the minimum length of hydrological inputs required is about 25 years. Accordingly, the yield series have been generated on monthly basis for 30-35 years period. The contribution of non-monsoon period, which is very nominal, has been added on lumped basis. 5.8.3.1 Water Inflow in to Storage Reservoirs
The water inflows into proposed reservoirs at Jheri and Paikhed dams in Par basin; Chasmandva dam in Auranga basin; Chikkar and Dabdar dams in Ambica basin and Kelwan damin Purna basin have been computed by regression analysis using discharge data of Nanivahiyal, Amba, Kudkas, and Kalibel G & D sites respectively and the same have been used for simulation study of the link project. 5.8.3.2 Rainfall – Runoff Relationship
The concurrent weighted mean rainfall and runoff data have been used to derive rainfall-runoff models. The inconsistent data points, if any, have been discarded. Rainfall-runoff relationship has been developed for monsoon period. The monthly models for the monsoon period (June to September) have also been developed to disaggregate the monsoon yield into monsoon months.
The rainfall-runoff relations developed at the G & D sites for monsoon period are shown in Fig 5.50 to 5.56:
The monthly rainfall-runoff models have also been developed at above G & D sites. The details of monthly models are given in Table 5.15:

The monsoon model is generally found more robust and realistic to
the catchment behavior as compared to monthly models as it represents lumped rainfall runoffprocess for the entire season and most of the monthly fluctuations get compensated. Therefore, monsoon model has been used to derive the monsoon yield. Monthly models have been used to disaggregate the monsoon yield into monthly yields.
The non monsoon yield has been taken as the percentage of monsoon yield based on the observed discharge data of the respective G & D sites. The percentage of non-monsoon flow to monsoon flow at Various G & D sites are given in Table – 5. 16:

Even during non monsoon months, flows are mainly limited to
October and November months and there is hardly any flow after December month. 5.8.3.3 Gross Yield Series
In Par basin Gauge and Discharge data at Nanivahiyal G & D site (located quite downstream of proposed Mohankavchali, Jheri and Paikhed dams) is available for the period from 1966 to 2004. The same has been used for developing the monthly and monsoon Rainfall-Runoff models at Nanivahiyal G & D site. Using the Rainfall-Runoff modeling at Nanivahiyal G & D site, the yield series have been generated from 1975 to 2006 on monthly basis for whole Par basin and proposed Jheriand Paikhed dams.
182
In Auranga basinthe Gauge and Discharge data of Bhervi G & D site across Auranga river is available for the period from 1974 to 2006 and has been used for developing the monthly and monsoon Rainfall - Runoff models. Using Rainfall - Runoff models developed at Bhervi G & D site, the yield series for whole Auranga basin has been developed from 1975 to 2006. Gauge and Discharge data at Amba G & D site across Tan river located downstream of proposed Chasmandva dam is available for the period from 1962 to 2004. The data of Amba G & D site have been used for developing the monthly and monsoon Rainfall - Runoff models. Using Rainfall - Runoff models at Amba G & D site, the yield series at proposed Chasmandva dam site has been developed from 1975 to 2006.
In Ambica basin the Gauge and Discharge data at Gadat G & D site located across Ambica river is available for the period from the year 1979 to 2004 and same has been used for developing the monthly and monsoon Rainfall - Runoff models. Using Rainfall Runoff models developed at Gadat G & D site, the yield series for whole Ambica basin has been generated for the period from 1975 to 2006. Gauge and Discharge data at Kudkas G & D site located just upstream of the proposed Dabdar reservoir across Khapri river (tributary of Ambica river) is available from the year 1980 to 2006. The yield series at proposed Dabdar dam site has been generated from year 1980 to 2006 on catchment area proportionate basis, using observed data after duly checking the consistency. The inconsistent data have been modified using Rainfall - Runoff modeling. As rainfall data is available for long period, the same has been used to extend the yield series from 1975 to 1979 using Rainfall - Runoff modeling developed at Kudkas G & D site. Thus the yield series from 1975 to 2006 has been used for working out the water availability at the Dabdar dam site. Rainfall-Runoff models developed at Kudkas G & D site have been used to derive the yield series at proposed Chikkar dam site. The yield series at proposed Chikkar dam site has been generated from 1975 to 2006.
In Purna basinfor working out the water availability for whole Purna basin the monthly and monsoon Rainfall - Runoff models have been developed at Mahuva G & D site where discharge data is available from the year 1979 to 2004. The yield series for whole Purna basin has been generated from 1975 to 2006 using Rainfall - Runoff modeling. Gauge and Discharge data at Kalibel G & D site is available for the period from the year 1962 to 2000 except for the years 1979, 1980, 1991, 1992, 1993 to 1996 and 1999. The site is located just upstream of the proposed Kelwan
183
dam site across Purna river. The yield series at Kelwan dam sites has been generated from year 1975 to 2000 on catchment area proportionate basis, using observed data after duly checking the consistency. The inconsistent data and gaps have been filled by using Rainfall - Runoff models. The yield series has been further extended beyond year 2000 using Rainfall - Runoff models. The yield series from 1975 to 2006 has been used for working out the water availability at the Kelwan dam site.
The water availability for whole Par basin and at proposed Jheri and Paikhed dam sites; Auranga basin and at proposed Chasmandva dam site; Ambica basin and at proposed Chikkar and Dabdar dam sites; and Purna basin and at proposed Kelwan dam site as derived from the gross yield series at various dependabilities are given in Table 5.17.

5.9.1 Revised Area Capacity Curves
Reservoir sedimentation studies for all the6 reservoirs proposed in Par-Tapi-Narmada link project have been carried out by Hydrological Studies organization, Central Water Commission, New Delhi. The Report on Sedimentation Study of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project is at Appendix 5.2 in Volume – IV of the DPR of link project prepared by NWDA in August, 2015.Sediment data measurements are being observed in three rivers only: Ambica, Purna and Auranga rivers. Data for Par and Nar basins are not available. Using the observed values of daily discharge and sediment concentration, sedimentation rate in the 3 river basins were assessed and are given below in Table 5.22: Table 5.22

The sedimentation rates observed at G & D data sites are relatively
lower as compared to sediment rate based on hydrographic survey of five reservoirs in the region and much lower than the generalized siltation rate recommended for the region (west flowing rivers beyond Tapi) in the “Compendium of Silting of Reservoirs in India” (Table 5.23:)

The hydrographic survey of five existing reservoirs in the region indicates sedimentation rate of 7.15 ha m/ 100 km2/year. The hydrographic Survey of Madhuban reservoir in Damanganga basin, which lies towards south of Par-Tapi-Narmada link projects, gave sedimentation rate of 8.94 ha m / 100 km2/yr. Normal rainfall in Damanganga basin is higher than the normal rainfall in river basins of Par-Tapi-Narmada link and therefore sedimentation rate of 7.15 ha m / 100 km2/yr, as assessed based on hydrographic survey of existing reservoirs in the region, appears in order. However, the land use changes are likely to impact the sediment generation from the catchment in the future with increasing human activities such as agriculture etc. Presently the catchment of these river basins particularly the upper catchment are not significantly affected by the human activities. Impact of climate change is likely to increase rainfall intensities and extreme meteorological events. In view of above factors, the observed sedimentation rate of 7.15 ha m/100 km2/ year is enhanced by 25% and sedimentation rate of 8.94 say 9 ha m/100 km2/yr has been adopted in the analysis of all the seven reservoirs in the Par-Tapi-Narmada link.
The sedimentation distribution in reservoir submergence has been carried out for two periods viz. 50 years and 100 years using Empirical area reduction method as per IS: 5477 (part-2) 1994, ‘Fixing the capacities of reservoirs’. The Jheri reservoir has been classified as Type – III(Hill) and remaining 6 reservoirs have been classified as Type – II(Flood plain foot hill). The total quantity of sediment likely to be deposited in 50-years and 100-years of life in the reservoirs and corresponding New Zero Elevations as estimated are given in Table 5.24:

Different parameters of water quality are observed regularly at Nanivahiyal on Par, Amba on Tan and Mahuva Gand D (State) site on Purna river by Water Resources Dept, Government of Gujarat. The details of water quality had been already briefed at Para 5.4.6. Also, as part of the field study done for Environmental Impact Assessment studies by WAPCOS Ltd., for the link project while preparing the DPR in August, 2015. Surface water samples were collected from various rivers in the project area and analyzed for various physio-chemical parameters for ascertaining the water quality status in the project area during summer, winter and monsoon seasons. The details are furnished in Chapter- 11 “Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Management Plan” of the DPR of link project prepared by NWDA in August, 2015. The laboratory test results carried out for collected water samples indicate that the quality of surface water is generally of safe category. 5.12 Low Flow Inputs
The WRD, Government of Gujarat is observing Gauge and Discharge data at Nanivahiyal G & D site across river Par; Amba across Tan, Bhervi across Auranga and Asura across Man all in Auranga basin; Kudkas across Khapri, Unai across Ambica river all in Ambica basin; and Kalibel and Navsari G & D sites across Purna river. The Central Water Commission is also observing the Gauge and Discharge data at Gadat G & D site across Ambica river and Mahuva G & D site across Purna river. Daily G & D data at these G & D sites is available for varying period (Table 5.8). Analysis of the observed daily discharge data at these G & D sites indicates that the flow in these rivers is zero during summer months every year.

5.13 Surface to Ground Water Recharge
The quantum of water proposed to be transferred through Par – Tapi - Narmada link project is of the order of 1210 MCM annually, utilizing382 MCM for en-route irrigation, 285 MCM for Projects proposed by the Government of Gujarat on the left side of the canal, 138 MCM for Tribal area enroute right side of canal, 48 MCM Tribal area in the vicinity of reservoirs, 90 MCM and 40 MCM for Tribal areas on right side of Narmada Main Canal by liftin Chhota Udepur dist and Panchmahal dist. respectively, 48 MCM towards Supply of drinking water for all villages of Dang District and Villages of Kaprada and Dharampur taluka of Valsad District, 18 MCM for Filling all possible tanks in benefitted areas, 161 MCM for Target command in Saurashtra region. As the bottom surface and both side slopes of the entire link canal for diverting the above water will be lined with cement concrete, there may not be much seepage loss to the ground water. Thus, the hazards of water logging and salinization is not anticipated in the region.
5.14 Data for Studies other than Simulation 5.14.1 Design Flood and Diversion Flood Studies of Dams
The Par-Tapi-Narmada link project envisages total 6 dams; Jheri across river Par, Paikhed across river Nar (a tributary of Par river); Chasmandva across river Tan in Auranga basin; Chikkar across Ambica river; Dabdar across river Khapri (a tributary of Ambica river); and Kelwan across river Purna. Two weirs one each in the downstream of Paikhed and Chasmandva dam sites are also proposed. The Design Flood and Diversion Flood studies at all the six dams and 2 barrages proposed in Par – Tapi – Narmada link project have been carried out by Hydrological Studies Organization, Central Water Commission, New Delhi. The Reports on flood study of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link, Part-I covering the design and diversion flood studies of dams carried out by Central Water Commission are at Appendix 3.3 in Volume-IV of the DPR of link project prepared by NWDA in August, 2015.
Hydro-meteorological approach has been used for computing design flood and diversion flood. The catchment response functions have been derived using Regional Flood Estimation Report. The short interval observed discharge data and concurrent rainfall data are not available at any of the 7 dam sites proposed in Par-Tapi-Narmada link, as such, the unit
192
hydrographs at the proposed dam sites and barrage sites have been derived synthetically based on physiographic characteristics using Flood Estimate Report. The storm studies as carried out by IMD, have been used in the study. The 100/50 year return period rainfalls have been adopted from the State-wise isopluvial maps published by IMD. The time distribution has been supplied by IMD and used in the study. Loss rate parameters have been taken from Regional Flood Estimation Report. The base flows have been assessed based on observed flood events. The design flood and diversion flood studies carried out for the dams are briefly described below: 5.14.1.1 Derivation of Unit Hydrograph Short interval observed discharge and concurrent rainfall data is not available at the project sites and therefore, the unit hydrograph at the project location has been derived synthetically using FER. i) Physiographic Characteristics
The physiographic parameters for derivation of unit hydrograph at the dam sites such as catchment area, slope (s) and length of river etc have been derived using Survey of India Topo - sheets in 1: 50000 scale. Physiographic parameters as derived are given in Table 5.26:

iii) Validation of Unit Hydrographs
Observed short interval discharge and corresponding rainfall data are not available at project locations. Therefore, the synthetic unit hydrographs as derived above could not be validated by observed data. 5.14.1.2 Design Storm Studies i) PMP Studies
The storm study for the project has been carried by IMD. Earlier the storm studies were submitted by IMD in year 2010. However, IMD was requested to review the storm study as the 1-day SPS and PMP values supplied by IMD appeared on lower side. The storm study has been reviewed by IMD and revised storm values were received in May, 2012.
The following rainstorms were considered by IMD: 1-3 July 1941 (Centered at Dharampur, North – West of Project) 9-10 July 1958 (Centered at Ghatghar, South-East of Project)
The rainstorm of 1-3 July 1941 (Centered at Dharampur) has been found
the severe most rainstorms in the vicinity of the project catchment for 1-day and 2-day design storm values. The SPS, PMP and MAF (Moisture Adjustment Factor) values as finalized by IMD are in Table 5. 28:
Table 5.28 SPS, PMP and MAF Values
Sl. No.
Diversion Site SPS (cm) PMP (cm) MAF 1 day 2 day 1 day 2 day

However, it is seen that in transposition of 1941 Dharampur storm to
the catchment of Jheri dam by IMD, the storm pattern has been moved quite
195
considerably even towards ridge line (eastward) though it is mentioned in the report that the storm pattern has been moved along ridge line only ( north-south). This has resulted in transposed depth of 77.5 cm. The Hydrological Studies Organization (HSO) of Central Water Commission is of the view that the movement of storm towards ridge line should be very limited. Central Water Commission has worked out the transposed depth by restricting the movement of storm pattern towards ridge line and one day transposed depth works out as 63.5 cm. applying the MAF of 1.17, the one day PMP works out as 74.3 cm which has been adopted as one day design storm for estimating PMF. ii) 50 and 100 Year Return Period Rainfall
50/100-year return period point rainfalls have been taken from the isopluvial maps published by IMD recently. 50/100-year return period point rainfall and areal rainfall for various reservoirs are given in Table 5.29:

As base period of unit hydrograph is less than 24 hrs for Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva and Chikkar dams, hence storm duration of 24 hrs has been used in the study of these dams. Base period for Dabdar and Kelwan dams is more than 24 hrs, hence storm duration of 48 hrs has been used in the study of these dams. iv) Time Distribution of Rainfall
A time distribution of 24 hour rainfall into short interval rainfall as supplied by IMD is given in Table 5.30. Time distribution curve is at Fig 5.75.

A loss rate of 0.19 cm/hr (modal loss rate) as recommended in the Flood Estimation Report for sub zone 5(a) and 5(b) has been adopted for computing 50/100 year return period floods. A lower loss rate of 0.10 cm/hr has been considered for PMF estimation. 5.14.1.3 Convolution
The rainfall excess has been convoluted with the unit hydrograph developed for dams to compute Direct Surface Runoff Ordinate (DSRO). A base flow at the rate of 0.15 cumec / km2 has been added to the ordinates of the DSRO to get the design flood hydrograph ordinates. 5.14.1.4 Design Flood (PMF)

5.14.2 Design Flood and Diversion Flood Studies of Barrages
200
Two barrages one each in the downstream of Paikhedand Chasmandva dam sites are also proposed in Par-Tapi-Narmada link project. The flood studies of these weir sites have been carried out by Hydrological Studies Organization of Central Water Commission. The Reports on flood study of Par-Tapi-Narmada link, Part-II covering the design flood studies for diversion barrages carried out by Central Water Commission are at Appendix –3.4 in Volume - IV.The flood studies at the 6 dam sites are described in Para 5.14.1 and the similar studies at the weir sites are described below.
The flood studies at Paikhed and Chasmandva barrage sites have been carried out using hydro-meteorological approach. The whole catchment upto weir site has been divided into two sub catchments: i) Sub catchment upto respective dam site located in the upstream, and ii) sub catchment below dam upto weir site. The flood hydrograph worked out at dam site was suitably routed upto weir site and routed hydrograph was added to the flood hydrograph of free catchment to assess the resulting flood hydrograph at the weir site. As all the six dams proposed in Par-Tapi-Narmada link project are large dams and the spillway of the dams shall be designed corresponding to PMF, the peak of incoming SPF, 500 year and 100 year return period flood hydrograph is likely to be less than spillway capacity and therefore, the effect of reservoir routing has been ignored and outflow from these dams has been assumed same as inflow hydrograph at respective dam. The outflow hydrograph for the respective dams has been channel routed for dam site to respective weir site using Muskingum method. 5.14.2.1 Derivation of Unit Hydrograph Short interval observed discharge and concurrent rainfall data is not available at the project sites and therefore, the unit hydrograph for the free catchment between dam site and Barrage site has been derived synthetically using “Flood Estimation Report 5 (a) and 5 (b) for West Coast Region, Konkan and Malabar Coasts”. i) Physiographic Characteristics
The physiographic parameters for derivation of unit hydrograph for
the free catchment between dam site and Barrage site such as catchment area, slope and length of river etc have been derived using Survey of India
201
Topo sheets in 1: 50000 scale. Physiographic parameters as derived are given in Table 5.36.

Using the above parameters, unit hydrograph for the free catchment between dam site and Barrage site for the 2 weir sites have been derived. The finalized Unit Hydrograph for the free catchment between various dam sites and Barrage sites are given at Fig 5.94 to 5.95.
202
iii) Validation of Unit Hydrographs
Observed short interval discharge and corresponding rainfall data are not available at project locations. Therefore, the synthetic unit hydrographs as derived above could not be validated by observed data. 5.14.2.2 Design Storm Studies i) SPS Studies
The storm study for the project has been carried out by IMD. The details are described in Para 5.14.1.2. The SPS values for all the 6 dams as finalized by IMD are given in Table 5.28.
Using the storm pattern given in the IMD report, the Central Water Commission has estimated the SPS value for the free catchment between dam site and weir site for the 2 weir sites. As free catchment below the respective dam sites up to respective Barragesites is very small, the critical placement of the storm pattern as adopted for assessing the transposed depth for the catchments upto dam sites has been adopted for assessing the transposed storm depths for the sub catchments upto Barragesite. The transposed depth (SPS) values for the free catchment between dam sites and Barrage sites as estimated by Central Water Commission is given in Table 5.41.

ii) 100 Year and 500 Year Return Period Rainfall 100 year return period point rainfalls have been taken from the isopluvial maps published by IMD recently. The Central Water Commission has assessed 500 year Return Period rainfall for the dam site as well as for the free catchment between respective dam sites and barragesites by Gumbel method (XT= X +KT *σn-1 ) X and σn-1 were assessed using various return period rainfall given in isopluvial maps of IMD as given in Table 5.42.

A loss rate 0.19 cm/hr as recommended in the Flood Estimation Report for sub zone 5(a) and 5(b) has been adopted for computing 100 year return period floods. A lower loss rate of 0.10 cm/hr has been considered for SPF estimation. 5.14.2.3 Convolution
The rainfall excess has been convoluted with the unit hydrograph developed for respective dam site and for the free catchment between respective dam sites and weir sites to compute Direct Surface Runoff Ordinate (DSRO). A base flow at the rate of 0.15 m3/s / km2 has been added to the ordinates of the DSRO to get the design flood hydrograph ordinates.
5.14.2.4 Flood Hydrograph at Barrage Sites
Outflow flood hydrograph at the respective dam sites has been routed using Muskingum method and routed flood hydrograph has been added to flood hydrograph of sub catchment between respective dam site and barrage site to assess the SPF, 500 year and 100 year return period flood for the respective weir site. The standard project flood hydrograph (SPF), 500 year return period flood and 100 year return period flood hydrograph for the Paikhed barrage are given in Fig 5.97 to 5.99 respectively. The peaks of SPF, 500 year return period and 100 year return period flood at Paikhed barrage site works out as 4596 cumec, 2819 cumec and 2247 cumec respectively. The standard project flood hydrograph (SPF), 500 year return period flood and 100 year return period flood hydrograph for the Chasmandva Barrage are given in Fig - 5.100 to 5.102 respectively. The peaks of SPF, 500 year return period and 100 year return period flood at Chasmandva Barrage site works out as 3213 cumec, 1961 cumec and 1572 cumec respectively.
5.14.2.5 Conclusion The peaks of SPF, 500 year return period flood and 100 year return period flood as estimated at Paikhed and Chasmandva barrages sites are given in Table 5.47:
206
The storm event of July 1941 centered at Dharampur appears to be very severe event and consequently the estimate of SPS and SPF appears to be very high. Accordingly it is proposed to adopt 500 year return period flood as check flood for the Barrage.

5.14.3 Tail Water Rating Curves
Dam toe power houses are proposed at Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites. One canal power house is also proposed on canal fall of feeder canal originating from Kelwan dam. One tail race channel is proposed at the exit of each power house to carry the waters to the respective river course after power generation. G & D observations very close to dam site could not be carried out due to public hindrance and the G & D sites for which the observations carried out are lying far away from dam sites. Thus, the data available from the Nanipalsan G & D site located on Damanganga river just downstream of proposed Bhugad dam is found to be appropriate to consider for generation of tail water rating curve as topographical and physical characteristics of the G & D site and dam sites proposed in Par-Tapi-Narmada are similar. Data for Tail water rating curve in the down-stream of various dam sites are furnished at Table 5.48 and the tail water rating curves are at Fig 5.103 to 5.107.

5.15 Studies for Design of Drainage in the Command Area
The link canal will cross number of natural streams/ river in its en-route. The natural course of these streams/ river may be affected due to canal crossing. Suitable cross drainage works will be provided at each of such crossings. These cross drainage works will be so designed that they do not hamper the width and course of the river streams and therefore, minimized the siltation problem which may arise at the crossings. Thus, little impacts on the drainage aspects are anticipated. The cross drainage structures will take care of any adverse impacts in the command area 5.16 Studies for Determination of Levels for Locating Structures on

5.17 Simulation Studies of the Reservoirs
The multi reservoir simulation studies carried out with the 6 reservoirs (Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan), 2 barrages (Paikhed and Chasmandva) and existing Ukai reservoir for Par-Tapi-Narmada link project using the Simulation software programme exclusively developed for Par-Tapi-Narmada link in C++ language by the NWDA.
Simulation study is appended as Annexures 5.20 in Volume-II. The Broad Criteria adopted while carrying out the Simulation studies are as follows: 5.17.1 Broad Criteria
• The simulation studies have been carried out on monthly basis for a period of 30 years from 1976 to 2006.
• The minimum flows required for d/s environmental uses are considered as 10% of the average annual lean season natural flow during October to May.
• The initial storage at the beginning of the simulation (June, 1976) is considered with 10% of the live storage for each reservoir.
• Upto 10% deficit in meeting a demand on annual basis is considered to be success, presuming the system to be resilient in coping with such shortage.
• The Storage capacities at different elevations after 50 years of sedimentation have been considered for each reservoir.
• No salinity control requirements are considered in the study assuming that the demand would be met from the yields of downstream catchments of proposed reservoirs and existing Ukai project.
5.17.2 Computation of Net Inflows into Reservoirs and Barrages
The hydrological studies for Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar,
Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs have been carried out by Central Water Commission, New Delhi and submitted Report on Water Availability Study of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project (March, 2012).
214
Therefore, the respective month-wise gross yields for monsoon period (June to Sept) are considered as per the studies conducted by Central Water Commission from which corresponding annual u/s utilizations (existing, ongoing and proposed) are deducted to arrive at net inflows at these reservoirs. The year-wise gross non-monsoon flows as assessed by Central Water Commission have been distributed into monthly flows in proportion to the observed flow data available at the nearest G & D site on the respective rivers. The list of proposed storage Dams / barrages and G & D site on various rivers are given in Table 5.52:

The methodology for arriving the net inflows at Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan and Ukai reservoirs are furnished in the following paragraphs. (I) Jheri Reservoir
The proposed Jheri dam site is located upstream of the Nanivahiyal G
& D site across Par river and the discharge data of Nanivahiyal G & D site is available from 1966 to 2004. The same has been used for developing the monthly and monsoon rainfall-runoff modeling at Nanivahiyal G & D site. Using the Rainfall-Runoff model developed at Nanivahiyal G & D site the monthly yield series at Jheri dam site for the monsoon period from 1975-2006 has been generated. The non-monsoon yield is distributed in to non-monsoon monthly yields in the proportion of the observed flow at Nanivahiyal G & D site.
The net yield has been worked out after subtracting all the upstream
utilisation and adding the regeneration. The regeneration for major and medium Irrigation projects has been considered as 10% while the same minor Irrigation projects has been neglected. The regeneration from domestic and industrial requirement met from surface water has been considered as 80%.

(II) Paikhed Reservoir
The proposed Paikhed dam site is located across Nar river, a tributary of Par river. The Discharge data of Nanivahiyal G & D site is available from 1966 to 2004. The same has been used for developing the monthly and monsoon rainfall-runoff modeling at Nanivahiyal G & D site. Using the Rainfall-Runoff model developed at Nanivahiyal G & D site the monthly yield series at Paikhed dam site for the monsoon period from 1975 to 2006 has been generated.
The net yield has been worked out after subtracting all the upstream utilisation and adding the regeneration. The regeneration for major and medium Irrigation projects has been considered as 10% while the same minor Irrigation projects has been neglected. The regeneration from domestic and industrial requirement met from surface water has been considered as 80%.

(VII) Dabdar Reservoir
The proposed Dabdar dam site is located downstream of the Kudkas G & D site across Khapri river, a tributary of Ambica river. The gauge and discharge data of Kudkas G & D site are available from 1980 to 2006. The
221
yield series at proposed Dabdar dam site has been generated from year 1980 to 2006 on catchment are proportionate basis, using observed data after duly checking the consistency. As the Rainfall is available for longer period, the same has been used to extend the yield series for 1975 to 1979 using Rainfall-Runoff model developed at Kudkas G & D site. The non-monsoon yield at Dabdar dam site is distributed in to non-monsoon monthly uields in the proportion of the observed flow at Kudkas G & D site.
The net yield has been worked out after subtracting all the upstream utilisation and adding the regeneration. The regeneration for major and medium Irrigation projects has been considered as 10% while the same minor Irrigation projects has been neglected. The regeneration from domestic and industrial requirement met from surface water has been considered as 80%.

(VIII) Kelwan Reservoir
The proposed Kelwan dam site is located downstream of the Kalibel G & D site across Purna river. The gauge and discharge data of Kalibel G & D site are available from 1962 to 2000 except for the years 1979, 1980, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1999. The yield series at Kelwan dam site has been generated from year 1975 to 2000 on catchment area proportionate basis, using observed data after duly checking the consistency. The inconsistence data and gaps have been filled by using Rainfall-Runoff models. The yield series has been further extended beyond year 2000 using Rainfall-Runoff models. The non-monsoon yield at Kelwan dam site is distributed in to non-monsoon monthly yields in the proportion of the observed flow at Kalibel G & D site.
The net yield has been worked out after subtracting all the upstream utilisation and adding the regeneration. The regeneration for major and medium Irrigation projects has been considered as 10% while the same minor Irrigation projects has been neglected. The regeneration from domestic and industrial requirement met from surface water has been considered as 80%.
The monthly inflows in to Kelwan reservoir as worked out on the above pattern for the period from 1975 to 2006 are given in Table 5.58:

5.17.3 Priorities / Operation Policy
The Reservoir Simulation studies were carried out considering the above monthly net inflows into the reservoirs and monthly demands to be met from the reservoirs in the following order of priorities.
225
5.17.4 Demands 5.17.4.1 Common Demands at Each Reservoir (i) Evaporation Losses
At each reservoir, evaporation losses (a natural hydrological process)
will have to be first met irrespective of the status of storage. The annual pan evaporation data for the Pinjal reservoir is available in the ‘Yield Study report of Gargai and Pinjal rivers’ has been applied for Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chasmandva barrage, Dabdar and Kelwan dams. The pan evaporation data for the Madhuban (Damanganga) reservoir is available in the Damanganga project working tables which has been applied for Paikhed barrage, Chikkar dam and Ukai reservoirs also. ii) Environmental Demand
In order of priority, the next demand considered at each reservoir is release of minimum flows downstream during the lean season.
The minimum environmental flow demand in the river is considered as 10% of the average annual lean season flows at the respective reservoirs/Weirs during the period from October to May are given in Table 5.60:
Table 5.60
Demands for Environmental flow Sl. No.

1 Jheri reservoir 4.40 2 Paikhed reservoir 3.20 3 Paikhed barrage 0.00 4 Chasmandva reservoir 0.80 5 Chasmandva barrage 0.00 6 Chikkar reservoir 1.60 7 Dabdar reservoir 4.00 8 Kelwan reservoir 4.80 9 Ukai reservoir 0.00 Total 18.80
226
The d/s releases for environmental purpose from each reservoir are proposed to be met from each reservoir until it reaches its Dead storage level (i.e., keeping the monthly live storage as zero). 5.17.4.2 Project Specific Demands
After meeting the above common demands, the project specific demands at each of the reservoirs are considered in certain order of priority as detailed below under each reservoir. As the rivers are non-perennial in nature, there would not be any inflow into the reservoir during the non monsoon period. Each reservoir has to meet its mandatory evaporation losses and environmental demand without fail, therefore month-wise minimum live storages (cut-off storages) are proposed to be maintained in respect of each project specific demand from the reservoir, in accordance with their order of priority.
The various Water demands that are proposed to be met from proposed reservoir are considered in the following order.
382 MCM for en-route irrigation , 285 MCM for the Projects

Conclusion
The simulation studies are carried out based on the data available and assumptions. Based on the data and assumptions the various demands are met successfully for all 12 months. However, the transfer of water is restricted to around 11 months only, instead of transferring the water throughout the year for maintaining the canal and optimum utilization of overall system. Out of total 1330 MCM of water to be transferred; about 108 MCM of water will be utilized in the vicinity of the six proposed reservoirs for various purposes as mentioned above, after allocation of 20 MCM towards downstream releases from the above reservoirs to meet environmental needs and 40 MCM towards evaporation losses from these reservoirs, annually. Thus, a total net quantum of 1210 MCM of water is planned to divert from these reservoirs/ barrages to the Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal at 75% success rate.

Chapter- 7 Reservoir
7.0 General
Building reservoirs, either big or small, on rivers and streams facilitate conservation, management and development of water resources in our country in a big way. The spatial and temporal variations in rainfall and consequent seasonal variations in stream flows necessitate creation of reservoirs to obliterate the gap between the demand for water and availability of flows in the respective time periods in the streams. Water stored in a reservoir provides a buffer against water scarcity when rainfall is scanty. Reservoir is a source for renewable energy generation which is cheap and environment friendly. And also, water supplies to the needy areas could be delivered by gravity from the reservoirs which is very economical. Therefore, creation of reservoirs across rivers/streams for storage of water is vital for conservation, better management and optimum development of water resources in our country.
The river basins viz. Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna, from which diversion of water is proposed through the Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal, receive 95% of annual rainfall in four months i.e. from June to September during South-West monsoon season. The average monsoon run-off in Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers is about 90% of annual run-off. During non-monsoon season there would be negligible flows or no flows at all in some months in these rivers. While flows are available in these rivers in a limited period in a year, the water requirement for various purposes, such as, irrigation, drinking and industrial, ecological etc. to be met by the link canal are spread throughout the year. Therefore, to bridge the gap between flows availability in these rivers at different time periods and demands to be met in the respective time periods through the link canal, building storages across these rivers is essential. Further, the rivers are flowing in deep channels in Western Ghats and whereas the cultivable lands are lying at much higher elevations. For irrigating these lands by gravity, it is necessary to raise the water levels of the rivers by constructing dams/weirs/barrages across them. Accordingly, six dams and two barrages are proposed under the link project for diversion of surplus waters of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers to needy areas en-route and to take-over part Command Area of
431
Narmada Main Canal of Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP). The six dams proposed under the link project are: Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan. The two barrages are proposed, one each at the downstream of Paikhed and Chasmandva dams for diversion of the releases from Paikhed and Chasmandva reservoirs into the link canal.
The Jheri dam is proposed across Par River near village ‘Jheri’ in Peint taluka of Nasik district of Maharashtra State. Paikhed dam is proposed across Nar River (a tributary of Par) near village ‘Paikhed’ in Dharampur taluka of Valsad district of Gujarat State. It is proposed to divert surplus waters from Jheri reservoir to Paikhed reservoir through 12.7 km long inter-connecting tunnel. The combined waters will be released through the Dam toe Power House of Paikhed dam into Nar river and tapped at Paikhed barrage, proposed at about 4.60 km downstream near village ‘Nani Coswadi’ of Dharampur taluka, and let into the Link Canal which off-takes from Paikhed barrage.
The Chasmandva dam is proposed across Tan River (a tributary of
Auranga) near village ‘Chasmandva’ in Dharampur taluka. The surplus waters of Tan River released through the Dam toe Power House of Chasmandva dam will be tapped at Chasmandva barrage, proposed at about 8.5 km downstream near village ‘Chandha Chikadi’ of Dharampur taluka, and will be diverted into the Link Canal by a Feeder Pipe line of about 2.859 km long.
The Chikkar dam is proposed across Ambica River near village
‘Chikkar’ in Ahwa taluka of The Dangs district in Gujarat State. The surplus water of Ambica River will be diverted through a 14.342 km long Feeder Canal into Dabdar reservoir after power generation at Chikkar dam toe Power House. The Dabdar dam is proposed across Khapri River (a tributary of Ambica) near village ‘Dabdar’ in Ahwa taluka of The Dangs district. The combined surplus flows of Ambica and Khapri Rivers will be diverted into the Link Canal through a 12.258 km long Feeder Pipe line after power generation at Dabdar dam toe Power House.
The Kelwan dam is proposed across Purna River near villages ‘Kelwan’ and ‘Kakarda’ in Ahwa taluka of The Dangs district. The surplus
432
waters of Purna River will be fed in to the Link Canal through a 7.616 km long Feeder Pipe line after power generation at Kelwan dam toe Power House. A Canal Power House is proposed across the Feeder Pipe line where considerable drop in ground level is observed.
It is planned to drop the Link Canal in to the existing Ukai reservoir on the river Tapi and to take it off from the right bank. However, neither the storage of Ukai reservoir nor the waters of Tapi River would be used under the Par-Tapi- Narmada Link Canal project. But the Ukai reservoir will be used just as a ‘Level Crossing’ for diversion of water through the Link Canal. The Link Canal crosses Narmada River downstream of Sardar Sarovar Project and finally out-falls in to Miyagam branch canal of Narmada Main Canal at RD 16.70 km.
In addition to the Link Canal’s demands, the above reservoirs will also meet downstream environmental needs; domestic, industrial and irrigation needs of the areas located at the periphery of these reservoirs. The power generation at these reservoirs is planned utilizing releases for link canal, environmental releases, committed downstream releases, spills, etc.
Considering the inflow pattern and water demands for various
purposes at a particular time, socio-economic and environmental impact due to submergence and keeping in view the techno-economic aspects, attempt has been made to fix the size of the proposed reservoirs.
The details on criteria adopted for fixation of various reservoir levels,
sedimentation studies carried out, area of submergence etc. of Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs and the details relevant to proposed barrages are presented in the following paragraphs.
7.1. Jheri Reservoir 7.1.1. Fixation of Storage and Reservoir Levels - Approach–Criteria
433
The water availability studies at Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva,
Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites have been carried out by the Hydrological Studies Organisation, CWC, New Delhi as a part of “Hydrological Studies of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project”. The Gross and Net Annual Yields at Jheri dam site as per these studies are as given in Table: 7.1.
Table: 7.1 Gross and Net Annual Yields at Jheri Dam Site
S.No. Details Annual Yield (MCM) Gross Net
1 100% Dependable yield 183 174 2 75% Dependable yield 391 371 3 50% Dependable yield 467 446 4 Average yield 528 509
The net water availability at Jheri dam site has been worked out after
subtracting all the consumptive upstream utilizations planned by States. Regeneration from major and medium irrigation projects has been taken as 10 percent while the same has been ignored in case of minor irrigation projects. The regeneration from domestic and industrial uses has been considered as 80 percent of water diverted for the purpose. The net yield series generated at Jheri dam site for the period from 1975-76 to 2006-07 is at Annexure: 5.12 in Volume - II.
The reservoir simulation study has been carried out for estimating the live storage capacity of the reservoir that would provide the required yield at specified reliability. The discharge data is available for a period of 39 years from 1966 to 2004 at Nanivahiyal G and D site maintained by Government of Gujarat on Par River, which is located d/s of Jheri dam site. Rainfall – Runoff model has been developed using discharge data available at Nanivahiyal G and D site and rainfall for the concurrent period. The flow data of inconsistent years have been discarded while developing Rainfall-Runoff model. Using this Rainfall – Runoff model the gross yield series for the period from 1975-76 to 2006-07 at Jheri dam site has been developed. The net yield series at the dam site has been generated by subtracting the net
434
upstream consumptive use from the gross yield series and used for simulation analysis.
The simulation analysis has been done using Simulation Program developed using c++. This programme also takes into account the different releases from Jheri reservoir: i) for local domestic and industrial water demand, ii) environmental and ecological requirements downstream of proposed dam site, and iii) diversion to Paikhed reservoir for further transfer to Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Canal. The result of this analysis is at Appendix 5.5 in Volume - IV which gives detailed output for the gross capacity of 206.03 MCM. 7.1.1.1 Dead Storage Level (DSL)
One of the most important issues in the planning of storage reservoirs is the loss in the storage capacity due to silting. Hence, it is necessary at the planning stage that a portion of the capacity of the reservoir is reserved for occupation by silt deposition. By providing extra storage volume in the reservoir for sediment accumulation, in addition to the live storage, it is ensured that the live storage will function at full efficiency for an assigned number of years. This volume of storage (in addition of live storage) is referred to as the dead storage and is equivalent to the volume of sediment expected to be deposited in the reservoir during the designed life of the structure.
The sediment entering into a storage reservoir gets deposited
progressively with the passage of time and thereby reduces the dead as well as live storage capacity of the reservoir. This causes the bed level near the dam to rise and the raised bed level is termed as “New Zero Elevation”. It is therefore necessary to assess the revised areas and capacities at various reservoir elevations that would be available in future and could be used in simulation studies to test the reservoir performance and also the New Zero Elevation. As per IS: 12182 (1987) – “Guidelines for Determination of Effects of Sedimentation in Planning and Performance of Reservoirs”. The live storage is to be so planned that the benefits do not reduce for a period of 50 years (full service time) for irrigation or 25 years for hydropower projects connected to a grid on account of sedimentation. Also the
435
sedimentation in the reservoir should not cause operational problems (sedimentation beyond the outlet) for 100 years for irrigation projects and 70 years for hydropower projects in a grid. As Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Canal project is being planned mainly for irrigation purpose, the reservoirs under the link project are proposed to be planned in such a way that full benefits are available for 50 years and reservoirs will function normally for about 100 years. Accordingly, sedimentation studies have been carried out for 50 years (for reservoir simulation) and 100 years (for planning outlet).
The dead storage capacity of the Jheri reservoir has been fixed on the
basis of the guidelines given in “Fixing the capacities of reservoirs – Methods, Part 2 Dead storage, IS 5477 (Part 2): 1994”.
The new zero elevation of the Jheri reservoir has been worked out as 185.00 m and 198.50 m after 50 years and 100 years respectively on the basis of sedimentation studies. The corresponding capacities at these levels as per the original Area - Capacity table come to 34 ha m and 868 ha m respectively. However, Dead Storage Level of the reservoir has been proposed as 199.00 m (corresponding original capacity of 923 ha m). The details of sedimentation studies are furnished in Appendix 5.2 in Volume – IV.
7.1.1.2 Low Water Level /Minimum Draw-Down Level (MDDL)
The Minimum Draw Down Level (MDDL) of Jheri reservoir can be fixed anywhere above 198.50 m which is the new zero elevation after 100 years of operation of the reservoir, based on sedimentation studies carried out by Hydrological Studies Organisation, CWC, New Delhi. Considering the delivery head requirement at Jheri reservoir for diversion of waters into Paikhed reservoir through the 12.7 km long tunnel, the MDDL of Jheri reservoir is kept at 204.00 m. 7.1.1.3 Full Reservoir Level (FRL)
Integrated simulation studies carried out for Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs indicate that the proposed Jheri reservoir with Full Reservoir Level at 246.00 m will meet
436
various planned demands at 100% success rate. Therefore, the Full Reservoir Level of Jheri dam has been kept at 246.00 m. 7.1.1.4 Maximum Water Level (MWL) Maximum water level of Jheri reservoir has been kept as 247.00 m and the gates of spillway have been designed to pass design flood of 6539 Cumecs. Various levels fixed at Jheri Reservoir are given in Table - 7.2.

7.1.1.6 Saddles along the Reservoir Rim
The entire rim of proposed Jheri reservoir is covered with the contours of value higher than the MWL as such no saddle is proposed along the rim of Jheri reservoir.
7.1.1.7 Fetch
The fetch of the reservoir was determined to fix the free board and the top of the dam. The fetch computations were done as per the Indian Standards IS: 10635(Latest), “Guidelines for Free board requirements in Embankment Dams”.
7.1.1.8 Direction of Wind - Velocity of Wind - Wave Height - Free
Board-Top of Dam
The direction of wind in Jheri reservoir area is mostly from east to west. The Nasik IMD station is located near to the Jheri dam site. The maximum wind velocity of 13.2 km/hr is experienced in the month of June and the minimum wind velocity of 4.5 km/hr is experienced in the month of December. The average velocity of wind is 8.4 km/hr. However, a normal wind velocity of 44 m/sec has been considered. The following factors are taken into consideration while computing the free board requirement:
(a) Wave characteristics i.e. wave height and wave length; (b) Upstream slope of the dam and roughness of the pitching; (c) Height of wind setup above the still water level.
The details of free board requirement for all the six dams are
furnished in para 6.1.5 of Chapter – 6: Design Aspects. The top of the rock-fill portion of the Jheri dam has been fixed at 253.00 m. 7.1.2 Sedimentation Data and Studies
As a part of Hydrological Studies of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project,
the Sedimentation Studies of the reservoirs proposed under the Link Project have been carried out by Hydrological Studies Organisation, CWC, New
438
Delhi. The details of sedimentation studies are furnished in Appendix 5.2 in Volume – IV and the gist of the studies is presented below.
Previously, five reservoirs which are situated in the vicinity of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project were studied by Government of Gujarat to determine the sedimentation rate in the region. Based on the hydrographic surveys of Bhatsa, Dantiwada, Kanhar, Attaria-II and Machrewa-II reservoirs in the vicinity, sedimentation rate was found in the range of 1.2 to 2.0 acre-ft/sq mile/ year for South Gujarat area. Based on these studies, a silt rate of 1.5 acre-ft/ sq mile/ year (7.15 ham/ 100 sq.km/ year) was adopted in Feasibility Study of the Link Project. These figures included bed load assumed as 15 % of the suspended load.
Presently, Sediment load is being measured in only three river basins viz. Auranga (at Amba GandD site), Ambica (at Gadat GandD site) and Purna (at Mahuva GandD site) pertaining to Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project. The sedimentation rate assessed in these three river basins based on observed daily discharges and sediment concentration are given in Table 7.3.
Table -7.3

1 Auranga Amba 0.3831 0.4406 2 Ambica Gadat 0.2443 0.2810 3 Purna Mahuva 0.3693 0.4247
And also, based on the analysis of capacity survey data of 144
reservoirs, rate of siltation in the existing dams were calculated and zone wise sedimentation rate was established in CWC’s document “Compendium on Silting of Reservoirs in India”. In the document India is divided into seven zones and silting rate for each zone is established based on the reservoirs located in the respective zones. Table 7.4 summarizes the
439
published values of average and median siltation rate for the regions “Narmada and Tapi Basin” and “West Flowing Rivers beyond Tapi and South Indian Rivers”.

But the sediment data is not available for Par and Nar rivers on which
Jheri and Paikhed dams are proposed. Currently no sediment observations are planned in the catchment area of Jheri dam. However, the Government of Gujarat had carried out sedimentation survey of existing Madhuban reservoir on Damanganga River, which lies in the vicinity of the Link Project. Using this data the sedimentation rate at Jheri dam site has been assessed. 7.1.2.1 Rate of Sedimentation with Basis
The sedimentation rates observed at GandD sites (Table-7.3) are
relatively lower as compared to sediment rate based on hydrographic survey of five reservoirs in the region and much lower than the generalized siltation rate (Table-7.4) recommended for the region (west flowing rivers beyond Tapi) in the “Compendium of Silting of Reservoirs in India”. The hydrographic survey of existing reservoirs generally provide sound basis for the assessment of sedimentation rate in the region. The hydrographic survey of five reservoirs indicate sedimentation rate of 7.15 ham/100sq.km/year as above. The hydrographic Survey of Madhuban reservoir in Damanganga basin, which lies towards south of Par-Tapi-Narmada link projects, gave sedimentation rate of 8.94 ham/100 sq.km/ year. Normal rainfall in
440
Damanganga basin is higher than the normal rainfall in river basins of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project and therefore sedimentation rate of 7.15 ham/ 100 sq.km/year, as assessed based on hydrographic survey of reservoirs in the region, appears in order. However the land use changes are likely to impact the sediment generation from the catchment in the future with increasing human activities such as agriculture etc. Presently the catchment of these river basins particularly the upper catchments are not significantly affected by the human activities. Impact of climate change is likely to increase rainfall intensities and extreme meteorological events. In view of above factors, the observed sedimentation rate of 7.15 ham/100 sq.km/year is enhanced by 25% and sedimentation rate of 8.94 say 9.0 ham/100 sq.km/year has been adopted for analysis of all the reservoirs contemplated under Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project. 7.1.2.2 Quantity of Sediment
Considering the inflow sedimentation rate of 9.0 ham/100 sq km/year the sediment volume at Jheri reservoir will be as under:
i) 50 years sediment volume 18.008 MCM ii) 100 years sediment volume 35.938 MCM
7.1.2.3 Type and Shape of Reservoir
The Jheri reservoir is considered as hill type and the standard classification is taken as Type III. 7.1.2.4 Sediment Studies – Jheri Reservoir
As per IS 5477 (Part – 2): 1994 (Fixing the capacities of reservoirs), either the “Empirical Area Reduction” method or the “Area Increment” method is recommended to be used for sedimentation study. In this report, the sedimentation study has been carried out using “Empirical Area Reduction” method.
441
7.1.2.5 Sediment Distribution
The sediment distribution is worked out for two periods, viz. 50 years and 100 years by Empirical Area Reduction method. For this purpose, the FRL 246.00 m is adopted and bed level of the reservoir is considered as 180 m. The original Elevation-Area-Capacity table for Jheri reservoir is given in Table-7.5.

The total sediment during 50 and 100 years will get distributed up to
and above various elevations as given in the Table-7.6 below:

The new zero elevation will be as follows: After 50 years = 185.00 m After 100 years = 198.50 m
443
The Minimum Draw Down Level (MDDL) can be fixed anywhere above 198.50 m which is the new zero elevation after 100 years of operation of the reservoir.

Simulation analysis considering the inflow and various water demands to be met from Jheri reservoir has been carried out. Based on the simulation analysis the live storage has been provided so that the demand of water for various requirements could be met. The dead storage has been provided so that the functioning of the project would not be affected even after accumulation of silt over a period of 100 years. Various storage details of the proposed Jheri reservoir have been mentioned in the Para 7.1.4.1 above.
The initial storage of each reservoir planned under the Link Project is assumed as 10% of live storage plus storage at MDDL for simulation analysis. No storage capacity is reserved for downstream use under any of the proposed reservoirs. The monthly minimum storages reserved in Jheri reservoir for meeting the water demands towards evaporation losses, environmental (10% of 75% dependable lean season flow) and domestic needs to achieve intended success rates are given in Table-7.8 below:

The monthly inflow series and monthly diversion requirements
considered for simulation analysis of Jheri reservoir for fixing its live storage are furnished in Appendix 5.5 in Volume – IV. 7.1.4.3 Water Tightness of the Reservoir
Preliminary Geotechnical Investigations were carried out at the dam site by GSI, Western Region, Jaipur at Feasibility Report stage of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project during 1993-94. As per these investigations the foundation rocks at the dam site are massive and amygdular basalts which are jointed and sheared, particularly at the flow contacts. Hence, special attention shall be needed to delineate the flow contacts and their structural conditions, necessitating selective treatment to improve their strength and imperviousness.
The Jheri reservoir area is thickly forested and restricted to the valley with steep hills on both sides. Amygdular basalts which are jointed and sheared are encountered in the area. No major fault or shear zone was noted in the area. The reservoir appears to be water tight. The reports of GSI are at Appendix – 4.2 and 4.4 in Volume – III. Also the periphery of the proposed Jheri reservoir is covered with the contours of value higher than the MWL.
7.1.4.4 Annual Losses The simulation study carried out for Jheri reservoir for the period from 1975 to 2006 indicates that the annual average evaporation loss from Jheri reservoir is 10.3 MCM with highest evaporation loss as 11.3 MCM during the years 1994 and 2005 and the lowest evaporation loss as 7.9 MCM during the year 1987. Maximum Monthly evaporation loss is in May month and least Monthly evaporation loss is in July. 7.1.4.5 Flood Absorption
447
No flood storage is earmarked for this project. However, from reservoir routing it is seen that the maximum water level attained was 247.00 m and the maximum outflow discharge was 6586 Cumec. 7.1.5 Effects on Sub Soil Water Table in the Adjoining Areas
Particularly Downstream of the Dam
The sub-soil water table will improve due to the impoundment of water in the Jheri reservoir. In addition, the regulated flows from the Jheri dam into Par River to meet environmental needs will increase the sub soil water level in the adjoining areas even during lean season. 7.1.6 Reservoir Rim Stability
The entire Reservoir area lies in the Deccan volcanoes. The rock type encountered is moderately to highly amygdular basalt, which is generally non-porphyritic in nature with occasional thin bands of massive basalt occurring in it. Occasional dykes of dolerite composition have been observed.
The reservoir area appears to be water tight with no perceptible shear
or fault zone criss-crossing the area.
7.1.7 Area of Submergence 7.1.7.1 At Maximum Water Level
Area of submergence of Jheri reservoir at MWL is 905 ha.
7.1.7.2 At Full Reservoir Level
Area of submergence of Jheri reservoir at FRL is 836 ha. 7.1.7.3 Submergence Ratio - Submerged (Cultivated) Area/CCA The Jheri reservoir is a part of net-work of 6 reservoirs proposed under Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project for diversion of surplus waters of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers for en-route irrigation and to take-over
448
part command of Narmada Main Canal. The irrigation water requirement of the Link Project will be met in an integrated manner i.e. first attempt will be to meet the irrigation needs from the nearest reservoir (Kelwan) and if there is any shortage of water at the reservoir, the water will be drawn from the successive reservoirs up to the Jheri reservoir. It implies that the storages available at all the six reservoirs will be utilized for meeting the irrigation demand of the Link Project. As such, the submergence ratio should be worked considering the total submergence area (cultivated) under six reservoirs and the total CCA of the Link Project. The total submergence area (cultivated) under the six reservoirs is 2364 ha and the total CCA of the Link project is 232175 ha. Therefore, the Submergence Ratio works out to 0.0102. 7.1.8 Land Acquisition-Property Submerged-Rehabilitation 7.1.8.1 Land Acquisition
The land to be acquired is about 836 ha (forest land: 408 ha, cultivable land: 256 ha and other lands including river portion: 172 ha) that is coming under submergence of Jheri reservoir.
7.1.8.2 Details of Property Submerged
Due to creation of Jheri reservoir 6 villages will be partially affected. All these villages come under Peint and Surgana talukas of Nasik district of Maharashtra. Total 98 households of these villages are likely to be affected. (i) Details of Dislocation of Communication (Railways), Road(s), Right
of Way, Telegraph Lines etc.) as a Result of the Project
No railway line is coming under the submergence area of Jheri reservoir. Major road connecting Peint to Surgana is passing through the Submergence area of Jheri dam and approximately 1 km length is under the submergence. No telegraph/ telephone line needs to be dislocated as a result of the project. (ii) Details of Valuable Mineral Deposits / Mines
449
The Engineering Geology Division of GSI, Jaipur vide Letter No. 171/G-1/EG/WR/GSI08-09 dated 9th April, 2009 (Annexure – 4.3 in Volume -II) informed that no significant minerals have been reported from the Jheri reservoir area, except construction material and a few minor minerals like zeolites.
(iii) Historic/Archaeological Monuments
As already mentioned under “Chapter – 4: Surveys and Investigations-Para 4.2.1 Archaeological Survey”, no antiquarian archaeological remains have been noticed and none of the centrally protected monuments are located in the area likely to be submerged due to construction of Jheri dam. 7.1.8.3 Rehabilitation of Project Affected People
The objective of development is poverty alleviation, social justice and a better quality of life for people. Some development situations however entail displacement of populations and adverse impacts including disruption of social and kinship networks and livelihoods and other economic or cultural loss.
Lack of development, however, can also impact on the environment and lead to distress migration. Involuntary displacement by dams or other water resource projects must therefore be sought to be converted into a development opportunity that leaves those affected better off through enlightened processes of resettlement and rehabilitation. The Social and Occupational profile of the people of the project area is described in the Chapter -12 “Socio- economic Studies and RandR Plan”.
Due to creation of Jheri reservoir 98 households/families are likely to be affected. These Project Affected People (PAPs) are to be compensated for their loss of land, home etc, for which an RandR package has been evolved. The process of RandR has three distinct components: relocation of PAPs to a new location where necessary; resettlement in that location and the restoration of livelihood; and rehabilitation so that every individual
450
could regain and/or improve his/her life and socio-economic status within a reasonable time after displacement.
The RandR package for PAPs has been devised considering the provisions of “National Policy on Rehabilitation and Resettlement -2007” formulated by Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India, as basic minimum criteria. Due weightage has also been given to various provisions of the Resettlement and Rehabilitation (RandR) Plan adopted for Sardar Sarovar Project by the States of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
Resettlement and Rehabilitation (RandR) Plan adopted for Sardar Sarovar Project by the States of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra has been reviewed and compared with NPRR, 2007 and the best norms of each policy have been adopted. People’s perception on the resettlement aspects and facilities they expect in the area where they are supposed to be resettled after displacement and preferences of affected population regarding compensation package, whether it should be in cash or kind have also been considered while formulating the Resettlement and Rehabilitation package for the people likely to be affected due to the submergence of Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs. The details of R and R package are described in the Chapter – 12 (Socio- economic studies and RandR plan).
7.1.9 Recreation Facilities Following are the recreational facilities which are proposed to be developed.
• Development of parks/gardens in d/s of dam. • Development of Children parks in the township. • Development of Tourist spot with boating facilities • Development of Guest house, inspection bungalow and
dormitory accommodation.
These facilities will ensure tourism development in the area. 7.1.10 Pisciculture
451
The submergence area of Jheri reservoir is 836 ha and there is lot of
scope for developing fisheries. Based on literature review, the present average fish production rate in Indian reservoirs is given in Table – 7. 9 below:
Table – 7.9 Average Fish Production Rates in Reservoirs Reservoir Type Yield (kg/ ha) Small 49.90 Medium 12.30 Large 11.43
Fish Seed Committee of the Government of India (1966) termed all
water bodies of more than 200 ha in area as reservoirs. David et al. (1974) while classifying the water bodies of Karnataka State, considered impoundments above 500 ha as reservoirs and named the smaller ones as irrigation tanks.
Reservoirs are classified generally as small (<1000 ha), medium (1000 to 5000 ha) and large (> 5000 ha), especially in the records of the Government of India (Sarma, 1990, Srivastava et al., 1985), which has been followed in the present study.
Considering the water spread area of Jheri reservoir and the fish production rate indicated above, expected fish production in Jheri reservoir will be about 42 tonnes per year which will increase the revenue from the project.
7.1.11 Need and Recommendation for Soil Conservation Measures
in the Catchment
The chances of soil erosion, if any can be prevented/minimized by adopting following measures:
• Step drain • Angle iron barbed wire fencing • Stone masonry
452
• Check dams • Contour bunding • Development of nurseries • Plantation/ afforestation • Pasture development • Social forestry Appropriate financial provisions have been provided for soil
conservation measures in the catchment area. 7.2. Paikhed Reservoir 7.2.1. Fixation of Storage and Reservoir Levels - Approach–Criteria
The water availability studies at Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva,
Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites have been carried out by the Hydrological Studies Organisation, CWC, New Delhi as a part of “Hydrological Studies of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project”. The Gross and Net Annual Yields at Paikhed dam site as per these studies are as given in Table: 7.10 below.
Table: 7.10
Gross and Net Annual Yields at Paikhed Dam Site S.No. Details Annual Yield (MCM)
Gross Net 1 100% Dependable yield 152 144 2 75% Dependable yield 264 250 3 50% Dependable yield 335 321 4 Average yield 380 367
The net water availability at Paikhed dam site has been worked out
after subtracting all the consumptive upstream utilizations planned by States. Regeneration from major and medium irrigation projects has been taken as 10 percent while the same has been ignored in case of minor irrigation projects. The regeneration from domestic and industrial uses has been considered as 80 percent of water diverted for the purpose. The net yield series generated at Paikhed dam site for the period from 1975-76 to 2006-07 is at Annexure: 5.14 in Volume – II.
453
The reservoir simulation study has been carried out for estimating the
live storage capacity of the reservoir that would provide the required yield at specified reliability. The discharge data is available for a period of 39 years from 1966 to 2004 at Nanivahiyal G and D site maintained by Government of Gujarat on Par River, which is located d/s of Paikhed dam site. Rainfall – Runoff model has been developed using discharge data available at Nanivahiyal G and D site and rainfall for the concurrent period. The flow data of inconsistent years have been discarded while developing Rainfall-Runoff model. Using this Rainfall – Runoff model the gross yield series for the period from 1975-76 to 2006-07 at Paikhed dam site has been developed. The net yield series at the dam site has been generated by subtracting the net upstream consumptive use from the gross yield series and used for simulation analysis.
The simulation analysis has been done using Simulation Program developed using c++. This programme also takes into account the different releases from Paikhed reservoir: i) for local domestic and industrial water demand, ii) environmental and ecological requirements downstream of proposed dam site and iii) downstream releases for further transfer to Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Canal. The result of this analysis is at Appendix 5.5 in Volume - IV which gives detailed output for the gross capacity of 229.53 MCM.
7.2.1.1 Dead Storage Level (DSL)
The dead storage capacity of the Paikhed reservoir has been fixed on the basis of the guidelines given in “Fixing the capacities of reservoirs – Methods, Part 2 Dead storage, IS 5477 (Part 2): 1994”.
The new zero elevation of the Paikhed reservoir has been worked out
as 164.34 m and 171.88 m after 50 years and 100 years respectively on the basis of sedimentation studies. The corresponding capacities at these levels as per the original Area - Capacity table come to 1.59 ha m and 89.36 ha m respectively. However, Dead Storage Level of the reservoir has been proposed as 172.00 m (corresponding original capacity of 92 ha m) and
454
sluices are proposed to be provided above this level. The details of sedimentation studies are furnished in Appendix 5.2 in Volume – IV.
7.2.1.2 Low Water Level /Minimum Draw-Down Level (MDDL)
The Minimum Draw Down Level (MDDL) of Paikhed reservoir can be fixed anywhere above 171.88 m which is the new zero elevation after 100 years of operation of the reservoir, based on sedimentation studies carried out by Hydrological Studies Organisation, CWC, New Delhi. Keeping in view the live storage requirement for meeting the Link Canal demands and power generation, the MDDL of Paikhed reservoir is kept at 190.00 m. 7.2.1.3 Full Reservoir Level (FRL)
Integrated simulation studies carried out for Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs indicate that the proposed Paikhed reservoir with Full Reservoir Level at 248.00 m will meet various planned demands at 100% success rate. Therefore, the Full Reservoir Level of Paikhed dam has been kept at 248.00 m. 7.2.1.4 Maximum Water Level (MWL)
Maximum water level of Paikhed reservoir has been kept as 249.00 m and the gates of spillway have been designed to pass design flood of 5307 Cumecs.
The Maximum Water Level at Paikhed dam has been fixed as 249.00 m. Various levels fixed at Paikhed Reservoir are given in Table - 7.11.

7.2.1.5 Maximum Backwater Level at Full Reservoir Level and Maximum Water Level and its Effect, Points to Which Backwater Effect is Felt, Maximum Distance of Such Points from the Axis of the Structure
The Full Reservoir Level (FRL) and Maximum Water Level (MWL)
of the Paikhed dam have been fixed at 248.00 m and 249.00 m respectively. The maximum back water level at MWL is 249.00 m and the effect extends up to a distance of about 17.40 km from the axis of the dam (at the periphery of the reservoir) within which no structure of significant importance has been identified. 7.2.1.6 Saddles along the Reservoir Rim
The entire rim of proposed Paikhed reservoir is covered with the contours of value higher than the MWL as such no saddle is proposed along the rim of Paikhed reservoir.
7.2.1.7 Fetch
The fetch of the reservoir was determined to fix the free board and the top of the dam. The fetch computations were done as per the Indian Standards IS: 10635(Latest), “Guidelines for Free board requirements in Embankment Dams”.
7.2.1.8 Direction of Wind - Velocity of Wind - Wave Height - Free
Board-Top of Dam
The direction of wind in Paikhed reservoir area is mostly from east to west. The Nasik IMD station is located near to the Paikhed dam site. The maximum wind velocity of 13.2 km/hr is experienced in the month of June and the minimum wind velocity of 4.5 km/hr is experienced in the month of December. The average velocity of wind is 8.4 km/hr. However, a normal
456
wind velocity of 44 m/sec has been considered. The following factors are taken into consideration while computing the free board requirement:
(a) Wave characteristics i.e. wave height and wave length; (b) Upstream slope of the dam and roughness of the pitching; (c) Height of wind setup above the still water level.
The details of free board requirement for all the six dams are
furnished in para 6.1.5 of Chapter – 6: Design Aspects. The top of the rock-fill portion of the Paikhed dam has been fixed at 255 m. 7.2.2 Sedimentation Data and Studies
Sediment data is not available for Nar River on which Paikhed dam is
proposed. Currently no sediment observations are planned in the catchment area of Paikhed dam. However, the Government of Gujarat had carried out sedimentation survey of existing Madhuban reservoir on Damanganga River, which lies in the vicinity of the Link Project. Using this data the sedimentation rate at Paikhed dam site has been assessed. 7.2.2.1 Rate of Sedimentation with Basis
A sedimentation rate of 9.0 ham/100 sq.km/year has been adopted for
analysis of Paikhed reservoir. The basis for adopting the value has already been explained under Para 7.1.2.1 above. 7.2.2.2 Quantity of Sediment Considering the inflow sedimentation rate of 9.0 ham/100 km2/year the sediment volume at Paikhed reservoir will be as under.
i) 50 years sediment volume 13.571 MCM ii) 100 years sediment volume 27.115 MCM
7.2.2.3 Type and Shape of Reservoir
457
The Paikhed reservoir is considered as Flood plain-foot hill type and
the standard classification is taken as Type II. 7.2.2.4 Sediment Studies – Paikhed Reservoir
The sedimentation study has been carried out using “Empirical Area Reduction” method. 7.2.2.5 Sediment Distribution
The sediment distribution is worked out for two periods, viz. 50 years and 100 years by Empirical Area Reduction method. For this purpose, the FRL 248.00 m is adopted and bed level of the reservoir is considered as 163.14 m. The original Elevation-Area-Capacity table for Paikhed reservoir is given in Table-7.12:

Simulation analysis considering the inflow and various water demands to be met from Paikhed reservoir has been carried out. Based on the simulation analysis the live storage has been provided so that the demand of water for various requirements could be met. The dead storage has been provided so that the functioning of the project would not be affected even after accumulation of silt over a period of 100 years. Various storage details of the proposed Paikhed reservoir have been mentioned in the Para 7.2.4.1 above.
The monthly minimum storages reserved in Paikhed reservoir for meeting the water demands towards evaporation losses, environmental and domestic needs to achieve intended success rates are given in Table-7.15 below:

The monthly inflow series and monthly diversion requirements considered for simulation analysis of Paikhed reservoir for fixing its live storage are furnished in Appendix 5.5 in Volume – IV. 7.2.4.3 Water Tightness of the Reservoir
DPR stage Geotechnical investigations were carried out at Paikhed dam site by Engineering Geology Division, Western Region, GSI, Jaipur during the field season 2009-10. A total of 12 number of exploratory bore holes have been drilled in the different sections of the proposed dam site at Paikhed. The bore hole core logging aggregating a total length of 622.95 m has been carried out. Basalts of the Deccan trap forms the foundation rock at the project area. The rocks have horizontal to sub horizontal dips. The water percolation test results of these bore holes indicate that the strata in general have low permeability but higher values of equivalent permeability up to 15 lugeons has been worked out in one section of bore hole number 9.
463
In the left abutment and NOF from R.D. 0 to R.D.180, no bore hole has been drilled. Additional bore holes should be drilled in this section to know the suitable foundation grade. Since the rocks in the area have a horizontal to sub horizontal disposition, there may be the need of consolidation grouting / anchoring, which may be decided after the excavation has been done.
The reservoir appears to be water tight. The report of GSI is at Appendix – 4.5 in Volume – III. 7.2.4.4 Annual Losses
The simulation study carried out for Paikhed reservoir for the period from 1975 to 2006 indicates that the annual average evaporation loss from Paikhed reservoir is 6.8 MCM with highest evaporation loss as 8.5 MCM during the year 1976 and the lowest evaporation loss as 4.2 MCM during the year 1995. Maximum Monthly evaporation loss is in December month and least Monthly evaporation loss is in June. 7.2.4.5 Flood Absorption
No flood storage is earmarked for this project. However, from reservoir routing it is seen that the maximum water level attained was 249.00 m and the maximum outflow discharge was 5226 Cumec. 7.2.5 Effects on Sub Soil Water Table in the Adjoining Areas
Particularly Downstream of the Dam
The sub-soil water table will improve due to the impoundment of water in the Paikhed reservoir. In addition, the regulated flows from the Paikhed dam into Nar River to meet environmental needs will increase the sub soil water level in the adjoining areas even during lean season. 7.2.6 Reservoir Rim Stability The detailed geological mapping to analyze the problems of reservoir stability and reservoir competency with respect to seepage/leakage of the
464
proposed Paikhed reservoir could not be carried out due to public hindrance either during FR stage or DPR stage. However, in order to evaluate the sub-surface rock/over burden conditions of the Paikhed dam site has been explored by 12 numbers of NX size bore holes. The bore hole cores have been logged and their data was analysed to find out foundation grade levels and water tightness of bed rock as well as to ascertain the soil structure and its permeability characteristics. However, no reservoir rim stability problems are anticipated in view of the type of rock formation present at the periphery of the submergence area. 7.2.7 Area of Submergence 7.2.7.1 At Maximum Water Level
Area of submergence of Paikhed reservoir at MWL is 1089 ha.
7.2.7.2 At Full Reservoir Level
Area of submergence of Paikhed reservoir at FRL is 994 ha. 7.2.7.3 Submergence Ratio - Submerged (Cultivated) Area/CCA
The Paikhed reservoir is a part of net-work of 6 reservoirs proposed under Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project for diversion of surplus waters of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers for en-route irrigation and to take-over part command of Narmada Main Canal. The total submergence area (cultivated) under the six reservoirs is 2364 ha and the total CCA of the Link project is 232175 ha. Therefore, the Submergence Ratio works out to 0.0102. 7.2.8 Land Acquisition-Property Submerged-Rehabilitation 7.2.8.1 Land Acquisition
The land to be acquired is about 994 ha (forest land: 317 ha, cultivable land: 589 ha and other lands including river portion: 88 ha) that is coming under submergence of Paikhed reservoir.
7.2.8.2 Details of Property Submerged
465
Due to creation of Paikhed reservoir 11 villages will be affected. These
villages come under Dharampur taluka of Valsad district of Gujarat and Surgana taluka of Nasik district of Maharashtra. Total 331 households of these villages are likely to be affected. (ii) Details of Dislocation of Communication (Railways), Road(s), Right
of Way, Telegraph Lines etc.) as a result of the Project
No railway line is coming under the submergence area of Paikhed reservoir. Major road connecting Sidumber-Tutarkhed is passing through the Submergence area of Paikhed dam. No telegraph/ telephone line needs to be dislocated as a result of the project. (iii) Details of Valuable Mineral Deposits / Mines
The Engineering Geology Division of GSI, Jaipur vide Letter No. 171/G-
1/EG/WR/GSI08-09 dated 9th April, 2009 (Annexure – 4.3-- in Volume -II) informed that no significant minerals have been reported from the Paikhed reservoir area, except construction material and a few minor minerals like zeolites. (iii) Historic/Archaeological Monuments
As already mentioned under “Chapter – 4: Surveys and
Investigations-Para 4.2.1 Archaeological Survey”, no antiquarian archaeological remains have been noticed and none of the centrally protected monuments are located in the area likely to be submerged due to construction of Paikhed dam. 7.2.8.3 Rehabilitation of Project Affected People
The rehabilitation plan has already been detailed under Para 7.1.8.3 above.
466
7.2.9 Recreation Facilities
Following are the recreational facilities which are proposed to be developed.
• Development of parks/gardens in d/s of dam. • Development of Children parks in the township. • Development of Tourist spot with boating facilities • Development of Guest house, inspection bungalow and dormitory
accommodation.
These facilities will ensure tourism development in the area. 7.2.10 Pisciculture The submergence area of Paikhed reservoir is 994 ha and there is lot of scope for developing fisheries.
Considering the water spread area of Paikhed reservoir and the fish production rate indicated above, expected fish production in Paikhed reservoir will be about 50 tonnes per year which will increase the revenue from the project.
7.2.11 Need and Recommendation for Soil Conservation Measure in the Catchment
The chances of soil erosion, if any can be prevented/minimized by
adopting following measures:
• Step drain • Angle iron barbed wire fencing • Stone masonry • Check dams • Contour bunding • Development of nurseries • Plantation/ afforestation
467
• Pasture development • Social forestry Appropriate financial provisions have been provided for soil
conservation measures in the catchment area. 7.3. Chasmandva Reservoir 7.3.1. Fixation of Storage and Reservoir Levels - Approach–Criteria
The water availability studies at Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva,
Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites have been carried out by the Hydrological Studies Organisation, CWC, New Delhi as a part of “Hydrological Studies of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project”. The Gross and Net Annual Yields at Chasmandva dam site as per these studies are as given in Table: 7.16 below:
Table: 7.16 Gross and Net Annual Yields at Chasmandva Dam Site
S.No. Details Annual Yield (MCM) Gross Net
1 100% Dependable yield 41 37 2 75% Dependable yield 70 64 3 50% Dependable yield 91 85 4 Average yield 102 96
The net water availability at Chasmandva dam site has been worked
out after subtracting all the consumptive upstream utilizations planned by States. Regeneration from major and medium irrigation projects has been taken as 10 percent while the same has been ignored in case of minor irrigation projects. The regeneration from domestic and industrial uses has been considered as 80 percent of water diverted for the purpose. The net yield series generated at Chasmandva dam site for the period from 1975-76 to 2006-07 is at Annexure: 5.15 in Volume - II.
The reservoir simulation study has been carried out for estimating the live storage capacity of the reservoir that would provide the required yield at specified reliability. The discharge data is available for a period of 43 years from 1962 to 2004 at Amba G and D site maintained by Government of
468
Gujarat on Tan River, which is located d/s of Chasmandva dam site. Rainfall – Runoff model has been developed using discharge data available at Amba G and D site and rainfall for the concurrent period. The flow data of inconsistent years have been discarded while developing Rainfall-Runoff model. Using this Rainfall – Runoff model the gross yield series for the period from 1975-76 to 2006-07 at Chasmandva dam site has been developed. The net yield series at the dam site has been generated by subtracting the net upstream consumptive use from the gross yield series and used for simulation analysis.
The simulation analysis has been done using Simulation Program developed using c++. This programme also takes into account the different releases from Chasmandva reservoir: i) for local domestic and industrial water demand, ii) environmental and ecological requirements downstream of proposed dam site, and iii) downstream releases for further transfer to Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Canal. The result of this analysis is at Appendix 5.5 in Volume - IV which gives detailed output for the gross capacity of 83.63 MCM. 7.3.1.1 Dead Storage Level (DSL)
The dead storage capacity of the Chasmandva reservoir has been
fixed on the basis of the guidelines given in “Fixing the capacities of reservoirs – Methods, Part 2 Dead storage, IS 5477 (Part 2): 1994”.
The new zero elevation of the Chasmandva reservoir has been worked out as 171.75 m and 176.00 m after 50 years and 100 years respectively on the basis of sedimentation studies. The corresponding capacities at these levels as per the original Area - Capacity table come to 2.73 ha m and 36.54 ha m respectively. However, Dead Storage Level of the reservoir has been proposed as 176.00 m (corresponding original capacity of 36.54 ha m) and sluices are proposed to be provided above this level. The details of sedimentation studies are furnished in Appendix 5.2 in Volume – IV. 7.3.1.2 Low Water Level /Minimum Draw-Down Level (MDDL)
469
The Minimum Draw Down Level (MDDL) of Chasmandva reservoir can be fixed anywhere above 176 m which is the new zero elevation after 100 years of operation of the reservoir, based on sedimentation studies carried out by Hydrological Studies Organisation, CWC, New Delhi. Keeping in view the live storage requirement for meeting the Link Canal demands and power generation, the MDDL of Chasmandva reservoir is kept at 190.00 m.
7.3.1.3 Full Reservoir Level (FRL)
Integrated simulation studies carried out for Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs indicate that the proposed Chasmandva reservoir with Full Reservoir Level at 214.00 m will meet various planned demands at 100% success rate. Therefore, the Full Reservoir Level of Chasmandva dam has been kept at 214.00 m. 7.3.1.4 Maximum Water Level (MWL)
Maximum Water Level of Chasmandva reservoir has been kept as 215.0 m and the gates of spillway have been designed to pass design flood of 2578 Cumec.
The Maximum Water Level at Chasmandva dam has been fixed as 215.0 m. Various levels fixed at Chasmandva Reservoir are given in Table - 7.17.

7.3.1.5 Maximum Backwater Level at Full Reservoir Level and
Maximum Water Level and its Effect, Points to Which Backwater Effect is Felt, Maximum Distance of Such Points from the Axis of the Structure
470
The Full Reservoir Level (FRL) and Maximum Water Level (MWL) of the Chasmandva dam have been fixed at 214.00 m and 215.0 m respectively. The maximum back water level at MWL is 215.0 m and the effect extends up to a distance of about 6 km from the axis of the dam (at the periphery of the reservoir) within which no structure of significant importance has been identified.
7.3.1.6 Saddle along the Reservoir Rim
The entire rim of proposed Chasmandva reservoir is covered with the contours of value higher than the MWL as such no saddle is proposed along the rim of Chasmandva reservoir.
7.3.1.7 Fetch
The fetch of the reservoir was determined to fix the free board and the top of the dam. The fetch computations were done as per the Indian Standards IS: 10635(Latest), “Guidelines for Free board requirements in Embankment Dams”.
7.3.1.8 Direction of Wind - Velocity of Wind - Wave Height - Free Board-Top of Dam
The direction of wind in Chasmandva reservoir area is mostly from
east to west. The Nasik IMD station is located near to the Chasmandva dam site. The maximum wind velocity of 13.2 km/hr is experienced in the month of June and the minimum wind velocity of 4.5 km/hr is experienced in the month of December. The average velocity of wind is 8.4 km/hr. However, a normal wind velocity of 44 m/sec has been considered. The following factors are taken into consideration while computing the free board requirement:
(a) Wave characteristics i.e. wave height and wave length;
471
(b) Upstream slope of the dam and roughness of the pitching; (c) Height of wind setup above the still water level.
The details of free board requirement for all the six dams are
furnished in para 6.1.5 of Chapter – 6: Design Aspects. The top of the rock-fill portion of the Chasmandva dam has been fixed at 222 m.
7.3.2 Sedimentation Data and Studies
Sediment load observations are being carried out by Government of Gujarat at Amba GandD site located on Tan River (a tributary of Auranga River) downstream of Chasmandva dam site. The annual suspended sediment load observed at the GandD site was 0.3831 mm/year/km2 (Average of sediment flow observed from 1983 to 1992) and the total sediment load including the bed load would be 0.4406 mm/year/km2. The sedimentation rate observed at the GandD site is much lower than the siltation rate recommended for the region in the “compendium of Silting of Reservoirs in India” prepared by CWC. This may be due to less developmental activities in the catchment area of the dam at present.
7.3.2.1 Rate of Sedimentation with Basis
A sedimentation rate of 9.0 ham/100 sq.km/year has been adopted for analysis of Chasmandva reservoir. The basis for adopting the value has already been explained under Para 7.1.2.1 above.
7.3.2.2 Quantity of Sediment
Considering the inflow sedimentation rate of 9.0 ham/100 km2/year the sediment volume at Chasmandva reservoir will be as under:
i) 50 years sediment volume 3.883 MCM ii) 100 years sediment volume 7.762 MCM
7.3.2.3 Type and Shape of Reservoir
The Chasmandva reservoir is considered as Flood plain-foot hill type and the standard classification is taken as Type II.
472
7.3.2.4 Sediment Studies – Chasmandva Reservoir
The sedimentation study has been carried out using “Empirical Area Reduction” method.
7.3.2.5 Sediment Distribution
The sediment distribution is worked out for two periods, viz. 50 years and 100 years by Empirical Area Reduction method. For this purpose, the FRL 214.00 m is adopted and bed level of the reservoir is considered as 170.00 m. The original Elevation-Area-Capacity table for Chasmandva reservoir is given in Table-7.18.

Simulation analysis considering the inflow and various water demands to be met from Chasmandva reservoir has been carried out. Based on the simulation analysis the live storage has been provided so that the demand of water for various requirements could be met. The dead storage has been provided so that the functioning of the project would not be affected even after accumulation of silt over a period of 100 years. Various storage details of the proposed Chasmandva reservoir have been mentioned in the Para 7.3.4.1 above.
The monthly minimum storages reserved in Chasmandva reservoir for meeting the water demands towards evaporation losses, environmental and domestic needs to achieve intended success rates are given in Table-7.21 below.

The monthly inflow series and monthly diversion requirements considered for simulation analysis of Chasmandva reservoir for fixing its live storage are furnished in Appendix 5.5 in Volume – III. 7.3.4.3 Water Tightness of the Reservoir
DPR stage Geotechnical investigations were carried out at Chasmandva dam site by Engineering Geology Division, Western Region, GSI, Jaipur during the field season 2009-10. A total of 19 number of exploratory bore holes have been drilled in the different sections of the proposed dam site at Chasmandva. The bore hole core logging aggregating a total length of 413.75 m has been carried out. These exploratory bore holes were drilled along the different sections of the proposed dam to know the sub surface geological conditions at the dam site. The basaltic flows of Deccan Trap form the foundation rock at the dam site. The rock has horizontal to sub horizontal disposition. The water percolation test results of these bore holes indicate that permeability of the rock strata is low. But certain sections in bore hole numbers 7, 8, 9, and 11 have higher values of equivalent permeability. The depth of permeable strata established by the bore holes need to be plugged by grouting between R.D.1280 m to R.D.1780 m (B.H.No.7 to B.H.No.11).
The reservoir appears to be water tight. The report of GSI is at Appendix – 4.5 in Volume – III. Also the periphery of the proposed Chasmandva reservoir is covered with the contours of value higher than the MWL. 7.3.4.4 Annual Losses
The simulation study carried out for Chasmandva reservoir for the period from 1975 to 2006 indicates that the annual average evaporation loss from Chasmandva reservoir is 3.1 MCM with highest evaporation loss as 4.0 MCM during the year 1975 and the lowest evaporation loss as 2.0 MCM during the year 1987. Maximum Monthly evaporation loss is in October month and least Monthly evaporation loss is in June/December.
477
7.3.4.5 Flood Absorption
No flood storage is earmarked for this project. However, from reservoir routing it is seen that the maximum water level attained was 215.0 m and the maximum outflow discharge was 3044 Cumec. 7.3.5 Effects on Sub Soil Water Table in the Adjoining Areas
Particularly Downstream of the Dam
The sub-soil water table will improve due to the impoundment of water in the Chasmandva reservoir. In addition, the regulated flows from the Chasmandva dam into Tan River to meet environmental needs will increase the sub soil water level in the adjoining areas even during lean season. 7.3.6 Reservoir Rim Stability
The detailed geological mapping to analyze the problems of reservoir stability and reservoir competency with respect to seepage/leakage of the proposed Chasmandva reservoir could not be carried out due to public hindrance during DPR stage. However, based on type of rock formations observed at the periphery of the reservoir, no reservoir rim stability problems are expected.
7.3.7 Area of Submergence 7.3.7.1 At Maximum Water Level Area of submergence of Chasmandva reservoir at MWL is 629 ha.
7.3.7.2 At Full Reservoir Level
Area of submergence of Chasmandva reservoir at FRL is 615 ha. 7.3.7.3 Submergence Ratio - Submerged (Cultivated) Area/CCA
478
The Chasmandva reservoir is a part of net-work of 6 reservoirs proposed under Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project for diversion of surplus waters of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers for en-route irrigation and to take-over part command of Narmada Main Canal. The total submergence area (cultivated) under the six reservoirs is 2364 ha and the total CCA of the Link project is 232175 ha. Therefore, the Submergence Ratio works out to 0.0102.
7.3.8 Land Acquisition-Property Submerged-Rehabilitation 7.3.8.1 Land Acquisition
The land to be acquired is about 615 ha (forest land: 300 ha, cultivable land: 255 ha and other lands including river portion: 60 ha) that is coming under submergence of Chasmandva reservoir.
7.3.8.2 Details of Property Submerged
Due to creation of Chasmandva reservoir 7 villages will be affected. These villages come under Dharampur taluka of Valsad district and Vansda taluka of Navsari district of Gujarat and Surgana taluka of Nasik district of Maharashtra. Total 379 households of these villages are likely to be affected.
(i) Details of Dislocation of Communication (Railways), Road(s), Right of Way, Telegraph Lines etc.) as a Result of the Project
No railway line is coming under the submergence area of Chasmandva reservoir. No major road is coming under Submergence area of Chasmandva dam. No telegraph/ telephone line needs to be dislocated as a result of the project.
(ii) Details of Valuable Mineral Deposits / Mines The Engineering Geology Division of GSI, Jaipur vide Letter No.
171/G-1/EG/WR/GSI08-09 dated 9th April, 2009 (Annexure – 4.3 in

Volume -II) informed that no significant minerals have been reported from the Chasmandva reservoir area, except construction material and a few minor minerals like zeolites. (iii) Historic/Archaeological Monuments
As already mentioned under “Chapter – 4: Surveys and
Investigations-Para 4.2.1 Archaeological Survey”, no antiquarian archaeological remains have been noticed and none of the centrally protected monuments are located in the area likely to be submerged due to construction of Chasmandva dam.
7.3.8.3 Rehabilitation of Project Affected People
The rehabilitation plan has already been detailed under Para 7.1.8.3 above. 7.3.9 Recreation Facilities Following are the recreational facilities which are proposed to be developed.
• Development of parks/gardens in d/s of dam. • Development of Children parks in the township. • Development of Tourist spot with boating facilities • Development of Guest house, inspection bungalow and
dormitory accommodation.
These facilities will ensure tourism development in the area. 7.3.10 Pisciculture
The submergence area of Chasmandva reservoir is 615 ha and there is lot of scope for developing fisheries. Considering the water spread area of Chasmandva reservoir and the fish production rate indicated above, expected fish production in Chasmandva reservoir will be about 31 tonnes per year which will increase the revenue from the project.
480
7.3.11 Need and Recommendation for Soil Conservation Measure in the Catchment
The chances of soil erosion, if any can be prevented/minimized by
adopting following measures:
• Step drain • Angle iron barbed wire fencing • Stone masonry • Check dams • Contour bunding • Development of nurseries • Plantation/ afforestation • Pasture development • Social forestry
Appropriate financial provisions have been provided for soil
conservation measures in the catchment area. 7.4. Chikkar Reservoir 7.4.1. Fixation of Storage and Reservoir Levels - Approach–Criteria
The water availability studies at Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva,
Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites have been carried out by the Hydrological Studies Organisation, CWC, New Delhi as a part of “Hydrological Studies of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project”. The Gross and Net Annual Yields at Chikkar dam site as per these studies are as given in Table: 7.22 below.
Table: 7.22 Gross and Net Annual Yields at Chikkar Dam Site
S.No. Details Annual Yield (MCM) Gross Net
1 100% Dependable yield 139 107 2 75% Dependable yield 220 170 3 50% Dependable yield 257 206 4 Average yield 304 255
481
The net water availability at Chikkar dam site has been worked out after subtracting all the consumptive upstream utilizations planned by States. Regeneration from major and medium irrigation projects has been taken as 10 percent while the same has been ignored in case of minor irrigation projects. The regeneration from domestic and industrial uses has been considered as 80 percent of water diverted for the purpose. The net yield series generated at Chikkar dam site for the period from 1975-76 to 2006-07 is at Annexure: 5.16 in Volume - II.
The reservoir simulation study has been carried out for estimating the live storage capacity of the reservoir that would provide the required yield at specified reliability. The discharge data is available for a period of 27 years from 1980 to 2006 at Kudkas G and D site maintained by Government of Gujarat on Khapri River (tributary of Ambica river), which is located U/s of Dabdar dam site. Rainfall – Runoff model has been developed using discharge data available at Kudkas G and D site and rainfall for the concurrent period. Using this Rainfall – Runoff model the gross yield series for the period from 1975-76 to 2006-07 at Chikkar dam site has been developed. The net yield series at the dam site has been generated by subtracting the net upstream consumptive use from the gross yield series and used for simulation analysis.
The simulation analysis has been done using Simulation Program developed using c++. This programme also takes into account the different releases from Chikkar reservoir: i) for local domestic and industrial water demand, ii) environmental and ecological requirements downstream of proposed dam site, and iii) diversion to Dabdar reservoir through Feeder Canal for further transfer to Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Canal. The result of this analysis is at Appendix 5.5 in Volume - IV which gives detailed output for the gross capacity of 141.99 MCM.
7.4.1.1 Dead Storage Level (DSL)
The dead storage capacity of the Chikkar reservoir has been fixed on the basis of the guidelines given in “Fixing the capacities of reservoirs – Methods, Part 2 Dead storage, IS 5477 (Part 2): 1994”. The new zero elevation of the Chikkar reservoir has been worked out as 162.10 m and
482
169.30 m after 50 years and 100 years respectively on the basis of sedimentation studies. The corresponding capacities at these levels as per the original Area - Capacity table come to 64.64 ha m and 331.90 ha m respectively. However, Dead Storage Level of the reservoir has been proposed as 170.00 m (corresponding original capacity of 369.17 ha m) and sluices are proposed to be provided above this level. The details of sedimentation studies are furnished in Appendix 5.2 in Volume – IV. 7.4.1.2 Low Water Level /Minimum Draw-Down Level (MDDL)
The Minimum Draw Down Level (MDDL) of Chikkar reservoir can be fixed anywhere above 169.30 m which is the new zero elevation after 100 years of operation of the reservoir, based on sedimentation studies carried out by Hydrological Studies Organisation, CWC, New Delhi. Keeping in view the live storage requirement for meeting the Link Canal demands and power generation, the MDDL of Chikkar reservoir is kept at 179.00 m.
7.4.1.3 Full Reservoir Level (FRL)
Integrated simulation studies carried out for Jheri, Paikhed,
Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs indicate that the proposed Chikkar reservoir with Full Reservoir Level at 210.00 m will meet various planned demands at 100% success rate. Therefore, the Full Reservoir Level of Chikkar dam has been kept at 210.00 m. 7.4.1.4 Maximum Water Level (MWL) Maximum Water Level of Chikkar reservoir has been kept as 212.0 m and the gates of spillway have been designed to pass design flood of 5649 Cumec.
The Maximum Water Level at Chikkar dam has been fixed as 212.0 m. various levels fixed at Chikkar Reservoir are given in Table - 7.23.

The maximum back water level at MWL is 212.0 m and the effect extends up to a distance of about 11 km from the axis of the dam (at the periphery of the reservoir) within which no structure of significant importance has been identified. 7.4.1.6 Saddle along the Reservoir Rim
The entire rim of proposed Chikkar reservoir is covered with the contours of value higher than the MWL as such no saddle is proposed along the rim of Chikkar reservoir. 7.4.1.7 Fetch
The fetch of the reservoir was determined to fix the free board and the top of the dam. The fetch computations were done as per the Indian Standards IS: 10635(Latest), “Guidelines for Free board requirements in Embankment Dams”. 7.4.1.8 Direction of Wind - Velocity of Wind - Wave Height - Free
Board-Top of Dam
484
The direction of wind in Chikkar reservoir area is mostly from east to west. The Nasik IMD station is located near to the Chikkar dam site. The maximum wind velocity of 13.2 km/hr is experienced in the month of June and the minimum wind velocity of 4.5 km/hr is experienced in the month of December. The average velocity of wind is 8.4 km/hr. However, a normal wind velocity of 44 m/sec has been considered. The following factors are taken into consideration while computing the free board requirement:
(a) Wave characteristics i.e. wave height and wave length; (b) Upstream slope of the dam and roughness of the pitching; (c) Height of wind setup above the still water level.
The details of free board requirement for all the six dams are
furnished in para 6.1.5 of Chapter – 6: Design Aspects. The top of the rock-fill portion of the Chikkar dam has been fixed at 217 m. 7.4.2 Sedimentation Data and Studies
Sediment load observations are being carried out by CWC at Gadat GandD site located on Ambica River downstream of Chikkar dam site. The annual suspended sediment load observed at the GandD site was 0.2443 mm/year/km2 (Average of sediment flow observed from 1985 to 1993) and the total sediment load including the bed load would be 0.2810 mm/year/km2. The sedimentation rate observed at the GandD site is much lower than the siltation rate recommended for the region in the “Compendium of Silting of Reservoirs in India” prepared by CWC. This may be due to less developmental activities in the catchment area of the dam at present. 7.4.2.1 Rate of Sedimentation with Basis
A sedimentation rate of 9.0 ham/100 sq.km/year has been adopted for analysis of Chikkar reservoir. The basis for adopting the value has already been explained under Para 7.1.2.1 above. 7.4.2.2 Quantity of Sediment
Considering the inflow sedimentation rate of 9.0 ham/100 km2/year the sediment volume at Chikkar reservoir will be as under.

7.4.2.3 Type and Shape of Reservoir
The Chikkar reservoir is considered as Flood plain-foot hill type and the standard classification is taken as Type II. 7.4.2.4 Sediment Studies – Chikkar Reservoir
The sedimentation study has been carried out using “Empirical Area Reduction” method. 7.4.2.5 Sediment Distribution
The sediment distribution is worked out for two periods, viz. 50 years and 100 years by Empirical Area Reduction method.

7.4.4.2 Storage
Simulation analysis considering the inflow and various water demands to be met from Chikkar reservoir has been carried out. Based on the simulation analysis the live storage has been provided so that the demand of water for various requirements could be met. The dead storage has been provided so that the functioning of the project would not be affected even after accumulation of silt over a period of 100 years. Various storage details of the proposed Chikkar reservoir have been mentioned in the Para 7.4.4.1 above.
The monthly minimum storages reserved in Chikkar reservoir for meeting the water demands towards evaporation losses, environmental and domestic needs to achieve intended success rates are given in Table-7.27 below:

The monthly inflow series and monthly diversion requirements considered for simulation analysis of Chikkar reservoir for fixing its live storage are furnished in Appendix 5.5 in Volume – IV. 7.4.4.3 Water Tightness of the Reservoir
Preliminary Geotechnical Investigations were carried out at the dam
site by GSI, Western Region, and Jaipur at Feasibility stage of Par-Tapi-
490
Narmada Link Project during 1993-94. As per these investigations the foundation rocks at the dam site are sub-horizontal sequence of lava flows of Deccan traps. The contacts zone between the successive lava flows are moderately to highly weathered and marked by presence of flow breccias, with predominance of amygdule. Hence, consolidated grouting shall be needed to make the strata monolithic and to improve their strength and imperviousness.
The report of GSI is at Appendix-4.8 in Volume-III. Also the
periphery of the proposed Chikkar reservoir is covered with the contours of value higher than the MWL.
7.4.4.4 Annual Losses
The simulation study carried out for Chikkar reservoir for the period from 1975 to 2006 indicates that the annual average evaporation loss from Chikkar reservoir is 6.4 MCM with highest evaporation loss as 6.9 MCM during the years 1994, 2003 and 2005 and the lowest evaporation loss as 4.5 MCM during the year 1987. Maximum Monthly evaporation loss is in December month and least Monthly evaporation loss is in June. 7.4.4.5 Flood Absorption
No flood storage is earmarked for this project. However, from reservoir routing it is seen that the maximum water level attained was 212.0 m and the maximum outflow discharge was 5226 Cumec. 7.4.5 Effects on Sub Soil Water Table in the Adjoining Areas
Particularly Downstream of the Dam
The sub-soil water table will improve due to the impoundment of water in the Chikkar reservoir. In addition, the regulated flows from the Chikkar dam into Ambica River to meet environmental needs will increase the sub soil water level in the adjoining areas even during lean season. 7.4.6 Reservoir Rim Stability
491
The detailed geological mapping to analyze the problems of reservoir
stability and reservoir competency with respect to seepage/leakage of the proposed Chikkar reservoir could not be carried out due to public hindrance during DPR stage. However, preliminary Geotechnical investigations were carried out at the dam site by GSI, Western Region, Jaipur at Feasibility stage of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project during 1993-94. The entire reservoir area is covered by the Deccan basalts with moderate relief. The rock type encountered is a sub horizontal sequence of lava flows. The reservoir rim is expected to be stable and may not pose any stability problems
The reservoir area appears to be water tight with no perceptible shear or fault zone criss- crossing the area.
7.4.7 Area of Submergence 7.4.7.1 At Maximum Water Level Area of submergence of Chikkar reservoir at MWL is 760 ha.
7.4.7.2 At Full Reservoir Level Area of submergence of Chikkar reservoir at FRL is 742 ha. 7.4.7.3 Submergence Ratio - Submerged (Cultivated) Area/CCA The Chikkar reservoir is a part of net-work of 6 reservoirs proposed under Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project for diversion of surplus waters of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers for en-route irrigation and to take-over part command of Narmada Main Canal. The total submergence area (cultivated) under the six reservoirs is 2364 ha and the total CCA of the Link project is 232175 ha. Therefore, the Submergence Ratio works out to 0.0102.
7.4.8 Land Acquisition-Property Submerged-Rehabilitation 7.4.8.1 Land Acquisition
492
The land to be acquired is about 742 ha (forest land: 300 ha, cultivable land: 332 ha and other lands including river portion: 110 ha) that is coming under submergence of Chikkar reservoir. 7.4.8.2 Details of Property Submerged
Due to creation of Chikkar reservoir 9 villages will be affected. These villages come under Ahwa taluka of The Dangs district of Gujarat. Total 345 households of these villages are likely to be affected.
(i) Details of Dislocation of Communication (Railways), Road(s),
Right of Way, Telegraph Lines etc.) as a result of the Project
No railway line is coming under the submergence area of Chikkar reservoir. The State Highway connecting Waghai and Saputara is coming under Submergence area of Chikkar dam. The power and telephone lines of about 10 km length connecting Baj-Lahen-Dabdar villages to be dislocated as a result of the project.
(ii) Details of Valuable Mineral Deposits / Mines The Engineering Geology Division of GSI, Jaipur vide Letter No.
171/G-1/EG/WR/GSI08-09 dated 9th April, 2009 (Annexure – 4.3 in Volume -II) informed that no significant minerals have been reported from the Chikkar reservoir area, except construction material and a few minor minerals like zeolites. (iii) Historic/Archaeological Monuments
As already mentioned under “Chapter – 4: Surveys and
Investigations-Para 4.2.1 Archaeological Survey”, no antiquarian archaeological remains have been noticed and none of the centrally protected monuments are located in the area likely to be submerged due to construction of Chikkar dam.
493
7.4.8.3 Rehabilitation of Project Affected People
The rehabilitation plan has already been detailed under Para 7.1.8.3 above. 7.4.9 Recreation Facilities Following are the recreational facilities which are proposed to be developed.
• Development of parks/gardens in d/s of dam. • Development of Children parks in the township. • Development of Tourist spot with boating facilities • Development of Guest house, inspection bungalow and
dormitory accommodation.
These facilities will ensure tourism development in the area. The water-fall located just downstream of the dam site further enhances the tourism potential. 7.4.10 Pisciculture The submergence area of Chikkar reservoir is 742 ha and there is lot of scope for developing fisheries.
Considering the water spread area of Chikkar reservoir and the fish production rate indicated above, expected fish production in Chikkar reservoir will be about 37 tonnes per year which will increase the revenue from the project. 7.4.11 Need and Recommendation for Soil Conservation Measure
in the Catchment The chances of soil erosion, if any can be prevented/minimized by adopting following measures:
• Step drain • Angle iron barbed wire fencing
494
• Stone masonry • Check dams • Contour bunding • Development of nurseries • Plantation/ afforestation • Pasture development • Social forestry
Appropriate financial provisions have been provided for soil
conservation measures in the catchment area. 7.5. Dabdar Reservoir 7.5.1. Fixation of Storage and Reservoir Levels - Approach–Criteria
The water availability studies at Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites have been carried out by the Hydrological Studies Organisation, CWC, New Delhi as a part of “Hydrological Studies of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project”. The Gross and Net Annual Yields at Dabdar dam site as per these studies are as given in Table: 5.28 below.
Table: 5.28 Gross and Net Annual Yields at Dabdar Dam Site
S.No. Details Annual Yield (MCM) Gross Net
1 100% Dependable yield 150 122 2 75% Dependable yield 323 262 3 50% Dependable yield 455 394 4 Average yield 488 430
The net water availability at Dabdar dam site has been worked out
after subtracting all the consumptive upstream utilizations planned by States. Regeneration from major and medium irrigation projects has been taken as 10 percent while the same has been ignored in case of minor irrigation projects. The regeneration from domestic and industrial uses has been considered as 80 percent of water diverted for the purpose. The net yield series generated at Dabdar dam site for the period from 1975-76 to 2006-07 is at Annexure: 5.17 in Volume - II.
495
The reservoir simulation study has been carried out for estimating the
live storage capacity of the reservoir that would provide the required yield at specified reliability. The discharge data is available for a period of 27 years from 1980 to 2006 at Kudkas G and D site maintained by Government of Gujarat on Khapri River (tributary of Ambica river), which is located U/s of Dabdar dam site. Rainfall – Runoff model has been developed using discharge data available at Kudkas G and D site and rainfall for the concurrent period. Using this Rainfall – Runoff model the gross yield series for the period from 1975-76 to 2006-07 at Dabdar dam site has been developed. The net yield series at the dam site has been generated by subtracting the net upstream consumptive use from the gross yield series and used for simulation analysis.
The simulation analysis has been done using Simulation Program developed using c++. This programme also takes into account the different releases from Dabdar reservoir: i) for local domestic and industrial water demand, ii) environmental and ecological requirements downstream of proposed dam site, and iii) en-route irrigation requirement of Dabdar Feeder Canal and iv) releases into Dabdar Feeder Canal, after power generation, for further transfer to Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Canal. The result of this analysis is at Appendix 5.5 in Volume - IV which gives detailed output for the gross capacity of 222.38 MCM. 7.5.1.1 Dead Storage Level (DSL)
The dead storage capacity of the Dabdar reservoir has been fixed on the basis of the guidelines given in “Fixing the capacities of reservoirs – Methods, Part 2 Dead storage, IS 5477 (Part 2): 1994”.
The new zero elevation of the Dabdar reservoir has been worked out as 119.90 m and 126.90 m after 50 years and 100 years respectively on the basis of sedimentation studies. The corresponding capacities at these levels as per the original Area - Capacity table come to 70.07 ha m and 424.28 ha m respectively. However, Dead Storage Level of the reservoir has been proposed as 127.00 m (corresponding original capacity of 432.16 ha m) and sluices are proposed to be provided above this level. The details of sedimentation studies are furnished in Appendix 5.2 in Volume – IV.
496
7.5.1.2 Low Water Level /Minimum Draw-Down Level (MDDL)
The Minimum Draw Down Level (MDDL) of Dabdar reservoir can be fixed anywhere above 126.90 m which is the new zero elevation after 100 years of operation of the reservoir, based on sedimentation studies carried out by Hydrological Studies Organisation, CWC, New Delhi. Keeping in view the live storage requirement for meeting the Link Canal demands and power generation, the MDDL of Dabdar reservoir is kept at 139.00 m.
7.5.1.3 Full Reservoir Level (FRL)
Integrated simulation studies carried out for Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs indicate that the proposed Dabdar reservoir with Full Reservoir Level at 169.00 m will meet various planned demands at 100% success rate. Therefore, the Full Reservoir Level of Dabdar dam has been kept at 169.00 m. 7.5.1.4 Maximum Water Level (MWL) Maximum Water Level of Dabdar reservoir has been kept as 170.0 m and the gates of spillway have been designed to pass design flood of 6683 Cumec.
The Maximum Water Level at Dabdar dam has been fixed as 170.0 m. Various levels fixed at Dabdar Reservoir are given in Table - 7.29.

7.5.1.5 Maximum Backwater Level at Full Reservoir Level and
Maximum Water Level and its Effect, Points to Which
497
Backwater Effect is Felt, Maximum Distance of Such Points from the Axis of the Structure
The Full Reservoir Level (FRL) and Maximum Water Level (MWL)
of the Dabdar dam have been fixed at 169.00 m and 170.0 m respectively. The maximum back water level at MWL is 170.0 m and the effect extends up to a distance of about 11 km from the axis of the dam (at the periphery of the reservoir) within which no structure of significant importance has been identified. 7.5.1.6 Saddle along the Reservoir Rim
The entire rim of proposed Dabdar reservoir is covered with the contours of value higher than the MWL as such no saddle is proposed along the rim of Dabdar reservoir. 7.5.1.7 Fetch
The fetch of the reservoir was determined to fix the free board and the top of the dam. The fetch computations were done as per the Indian Standards IS: 10635(Latest), “Guidelines for Free board requirements in Embankment Dams”.
7.5.1.8 Direction of Wind - Velocity of Wind - Wave Height - Free
Board-Top of Dam The direction of wind in Dabdar reservoir area is mostly from east to
west. The Nasik IMD station is located near to the Dabdar dam site. The maximum wind velocity of 13.2 km/hr is experienced in the month of June and the minimum wind velocity of 4.5 km/hr is experienced in the month of December. The average velocity of wind is 8.4 km/hr. However, a normal wind velocity of 44 m/sec has been considered. The following factors are taken into consideration while computing the free board requirement:
(a) Wave characteristics i.e. wave height and wave length; (b) Upstream slope of the dams and roughness of the pitching; (c) Height of wind setup above the still water level.
498
The details of free board requirement for all the six dams are furnished in
para 6.1.5 of Chapter – 6: Design Aspects. The top of the rock-fill portion of the Dabdar dam has been fixed at 177 m. 7.5.2 Sedimentation Data and Studies
Sediment load observations are being carried out by CWC at Gadat GandD site located on Ambica River downstream of Dabdar dam site. The annual suspended sediment load observed at the GandD site was 0.2443 mm/year/km2 (Average of sediment flow observed from 1985 to 1993) and the total sediment load including the bed load would be 0.2810 mm/year/km2. The sedimentation rate observed at the GandD site is much lower than the siltation rate recommended for the region in the “Compendium of Silting of Reservoirs in India” prepared by CWC. This may be due to less developmental activities in the catchment area of the dam at present. 7.5.2.1 Rate of Sedimentation with Basis
A sedimentation rate of 9.0 ham/100 sq.km/year has been adopted for analysis of Dabdar reservoir. The basis for adopting the value has already been explained under Para 7.1.2.1 above. 7.5.2.2 Quantity of Sediment
Considering the inflow sedimentation rate of 9.0 ham/100 km2/year the sediment volume at Dabdar reservoir will be as under.
i) 50 years sediment volume 19.553 MCM ii) 100 years sediment volume 39.035 MCM
7.5.2.3 Type and Shape of Reservoir
The Dabdar reservoir is considered as Flood plain-foot hill type and the standard classification is taken as Type II.
499
7.5.2.4 Sediment Studies – Dabdar Reservoir
The sedimentation study has been carried out using “Empirical Area Reduction” method. 7.5.2.5 Sediment Distribution
The sediment distribution is worked out for two periods, viz. 50 years and 100 years by Empirical Area Reduction method. For this purpose, the FRL 169.00 m is adopted and bed level of the reservoir is considered as 112.00 m. The original Elevation-Area-Capacity table for Dabdar reservoir is given in Table-7.30.

7.5.4.2 Storage
Simulation analysis considering the inflow and various water
demands to be met from Dabdar reservoir has been carried out. Based on the simulation analysis the live storage has been provided so that the demand of water for various requirements could be met. The dead storage has been provided so that the functioning of the project would not be affected even after accumulation of silt over a period of 100 years. Various storage details of the proposed Dabdar reservoir have been mentioned in the Para 7.5.4.1 above.
The monthly minimum storages reserved in Dabdar reservoir for meeting the water demands towards evaporation losses, environmental and domestic needs to achieve intended success rates are given in Table-7.33 below:

The monthly inflow series and monthly diversion requirements considered for simulation analysis of Dabdar reservoir for fixing its live storage are furnished in Appendix 5.5 in Volume – III. 7.5.4.3 Water Tightness of the Reservoir
Preliminary Geotechnical Investigations were carried out at the dam
site by GSI, Western Region, Jaipur at Feasibility stage of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project during 1993-94. As per these investigations the foundation rocks at the dam site are Deccan traps. The bed rock constituting the foundation are a sequence of lava flows, which comprises amygdaloidal, dense, perphyritic basalt and flow breccias with horizontal to sub horizontal dips. The reservoir appears to be water tight.
504
The reports of GSI are at Appendix-4.2 and 4.4 in Volume-III. Also the periphery of the proposed Dabdar reservoir is covered with the contours of value higher than the MWL. 7.5.4.4 Annual Losses The simulation study carried out for Dabdar reservoir for the period from 1975 to 2006 indicates that the annual average evaporation loss from Dabdar reservoir is 6.6 MCM with highest evaporation loss as 8.6 MCM during the years 1975 and 1983 and the lowest evaporation loss as 3.7 MCM during the year 1987. Maximum Monthly evaporation loss is in October month and least Monthly evaporation loss is in July. 7.5.4.5 Flood Absorption
No flood storage is earmarked for this project. However, from reservoir routing it is seen that the maximum water level attained was 170.00 m and the maximum outflow discharge was 6582 Cumec. 7.5.5 Effects on Sub Soil Water Table in the Adjoining Areas
Particularly Downstream of the Dam
The sub-soil water table will improve due to the impoundment of water in the Dabdar reservoir. In addition, the regulated flows from the Dabdar dam into Khapri River to meet environmental needs will increase the sub soil water level in the adjoining areas even during lean season. 7.5.6 Reservoir Rim Stability
The detailed geological mapping to analyze the problems of reservoir stability and reservoir competency with respect to seepage/leakage of the proposed Dabdar reservoir could not be carried out due to public hindrance during DPR stage. However, preliminary Geotechnical investigations were carried out at the dam site by GSI, Western Region, Jaipur at Feasibility
505
stage of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project during 1993-94. The entire reservoir area is covered by the Deccan traps. The rock type encountered is sequence of lava flows. In view of the rock type encountered at the periphery of the reservoir, no stability problem of reservoir rim is expected.
The reservoir area appears to be water tight with no perceptible shear or fault zone criss- crossing the area. 7.5.7 Area of Submergence 7.5.7.1 At Maximum Water Level
Area of submergence of Dabdar reservoir at MWL is 1271 ha.
7.5.7.2 At Full Reservoir Level Area of submergence of Dabdar reservoir at FRL is 1249 ha.
7.5.7.3 Submergence Ratio - Submerged (Cultivated) Area/CCA The Dabdar reservoir is a part of net-work of 6 reservoirs proposed under Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project for diversion of surplus waters of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers for en-route irrigation and to take-over part command of Narmada Main Canal. The total submergence area (cultivated) under the six reservoirs is 2364 ha and the total CCA of the Link project is 232175 ha. Therefore, the Submergence Ratio works out to 0.0102.
7.5.8 Land Acquisition-Property Submerged-Rehabilitation 7.5.8.1 Land Acquisition
The land to be acquired is about 1249 ha (forest land: 614 ha, cultivable land: 482 ha and other lands including river portion: 153 ha) that is coming under submergence of Dabdar reservoir. 7.5.8.2 Details of Property Submerged
506
Due to creation of Dabdar reservoir 11 villages will be affected. These villages come under Ahwa taluka of The Dangs district of Gujarat. Total 563 households of these villages are likely to be affected. (i) Details of Dislocation of Communication (Railways), Road(s), Right of Way, Telegraph Lines etc.) as a Result of the Project
No railway line is coming under the submergence area of Dabdar
reservoir. The State Highway connecting Bilimora and Ahwa is coming under Submergence area of Dabdar dam. The power and telephone lines of about 12 km length connecting Waghai-Pimpri villages to be dislocated as a result of the project. (ii) Details of Valuable Mineral Deposits / Mines
The Engineering Geology Division of GSI, Jaipur vide Letter No. 171/G-1/EG/WR/GSI08-09 dated 9th April, 2009 (Annexure – 4.3 in Volume -II) informed that no significant minerals have been reported from the Dabdar reservoir area, except construction material and a few minor minerals like zeolites. (iii) Historic/Archaeological Monuments
As already mentioned under “Chapter – 4: Surveys and
Investigations-Para 4.2.1 Archaeological Survey”, no antiquarian archaeological remains have been noticed and none of the centrally protected monuments are located in the area likely to be submerged due to construction of Dabdar dam. 7.5.8.3 Rehabilitation of Project Affected People The rehabilitation plan has already been detailed under Para 7.1.8.3 above. 7.5.9 Recreation Facilities
507
Following are the recreational facilities which are proposed to be developed.
• Development of parks/gardens in d/s of dam. • Development of Children parks in the township. • Development of Tourist spot with boating facilities • Development of Guest house, inspection bungalow and
dormitory accommodation. These facilities will ensure tourism development in the area. The water-fall located just downstream of the dam site further enhances the tourism potential. 7.5.10 Pisciculture The submergence area of Dabdar reservoir is 1249 ha and there is lot of scope for developing fisheries.
Considering the water spread area of Dabdar reservoir and the fish production rate indicated above, expected fish production in Dabdar reservoir will be about 62 tonnes per year which will increase the revenue from the project.
7.5.11 Need and Recommendation for Soil Conservation Measures
in the Catchment
The chances of soil erosion, if any can be prevented/minimized by adopting following measures:
• Step drain • Angle iron barbed wire fencing • Stone masonry • Check dams • Contour bunding • Development of nurseries • Plantation/ afforestation • Pasture development
508
• Social forestry
Appropriate financial provisions have been provided for soil conservation measures in the catchment area. 7.6. Kelwan Reservoir 7.6.1. Fixation of Storage and Reservoir Levels - Approach–Criteria
The water availability studies at Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dam sites have been carried out by the Hydrological Studies Organisation, CWC, New Delhi as a part of “Hydrological Studies of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project”. The Gross and Net Annual Yields at Kelwan dam site as per these studies are as given in Table: 7.34 below.
Table: 7.34
Gross and Net Annual Yields at Kelwan Dam Site S.No. Details Annual Yield (MCM)
Gross Net 1 100% Dependable yield 252 214 2 75% Dependable yield 362 308 3 50% Dependable yield 445 390 4 Average yield 497 443
The net water availability at Kelwan dam site has been worked out after subtracting all the consumptive upstream utilizations planned by States. Regeneration from major and medium irrigation projects has been taken as 10 percent while the same has been ignored in case of minor irrigation projects. The regeneration from domestic and industrial uses has been considered as 80 percent of water diverted for the purpose. The net yield series generated at Kelwan dam site for the period from 1975-76 to 2006-07 is at Annexure: 5.18 in Volume - II.
The gauge and discharge data of the Kalibel GandD site maintained
by Government of Gujarat is available from the year 1962 to 2000 except for the years 1979, 80, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96 and 1999. The site is located just upstream of the Kelwan dam site. Therefore, the yield series at Kelwan dam sites have been generated from year 1975, on catchment area
509
proportionate basis, using observed data after duly checking the consistency. The inconsistent data and gaps have been filled by using rainfall runoff modeling. The yield series has been further extended beyond year 2000 using rainfall runoff modeling. The yield series from 1975 to 2006 has used for working out the water availability at the Kelwan dam site.
The simulation analysis has been done using Simulation Program developed using c++. This programme also takes into account the different releases from Kelwan reservoir: i) for local domestic and industrial water demand, ii) environmental and ecological requirements downstream of proposed dam site, and iii) en-route irrigation requirement of Kelwan Feeder Canal and iv) releases into Kelwan Feeder Canal, after power generation, for further transfer to Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Canal. The result of this analysis is at Appendix 5.5 in Volume - IV which gives detailed output for the gross capacity of 282.17 MCM. 7.6.1.1 Dead Storage Level (DSL)
The dead storage capacity of the Kelwan reservoir has been fixed on the basis of the guidelines given in “Fixing the capacities of reservoirs – Methods, Part 2 Dead storage, IS 5477 (Part 2): 1994”.
The new zero elevation of the Kelwan reservoir has been worked out
as 122.20 m and 128.20 m after 50 years and 100 years respectively on the basis of sedimentation studies. The corresponding capacities at these levels as per the original Area - Capacity table come to 125.05 ha m and 651.28 ha m respectively. However, Dead Storage Level of the reservoir has been proposed as 128.20 m (corresponding original capacity of 651.28 ha m) and sluices are proposed to be provided above this level. The details of sedimentation studies are furnished in Appendix 5.2 in Volume – IV. 7.6.1.2 Low Water Level /Minimum Draw-Down Level (MDDL)
The Minimum Draw Down Level (MDDL) of Kelwan reservoir can be fixed anywhere above 128.20 m which is the new zero elevation after 100 years of operation of the reservoir, based on sedimentation studies carried out by Hydrological Studies Organisation, CWC, New Delhi.
510
Keeping in view the live storage requirement for meeting the Link Canal demands and power generation, the MDDL of Kelwan reservoir is kept at 136.00 m.
7.6.1.3 Full Reservoir Level (FRL)
Integrated simulation studies carried out for Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs indicate that the proposed Kelwan reservoir with Full Reservoir Level at 164.00 m will meet various planned demands at 100% success rate. Therefore, the Full Reservoir Level of Kelwan dam has been kept at 164.00 m. 7.6.1.4 Maximum Water Level (MWL) Maximum Water Level of Kelwan reservoir has been kept as 166.00 m and the gates of spillway have been designed to pass design flood of 7979 Cumec. The Maximum Water Level at Kelwan dam has been fixed as 166.00 m. Various levels fixed at Kelwan Reservoir are given in Table - 7.35.
Table -7.35 Levels Fixed as per Simulation Study
Kelwan Reservoir Elevation(m) MWL 166.00 FRL 164.00 MDDL 136.00
7.6.1.5 Maximum Backwater Level at Full Reservoir Level and
Maximum Water Level and its Effect, Points to Which Backwater Effect is Felt, Maximum Distance of Such Points from the Axis of the Structure
The Full Reservoir Level (FRL) and Maximum Water Level (MWL) of the Kelwan dam have been fixed at 164.00 m and 166.00 m respectively. The maximum back water level at MWL is 166.00 m and the effect extends
511
up to a distance of about 24 km from the axis of the dam (at the periphery of the reservoir) within which no structure of significant importance has been identified. 7.6.1.6 Saddles along the Reservoir Rim
The entire rim of proposed Kelwan reservoir is covered with the contours of value higher than the MWL as such no saddle is proposed along the rim of Kelwan reservoir.
7.6.1.7 Fetch
The fetch of the reservoir was determined to fix the free board and the top of the dam. The fetch computations were done as per the Indian Standards IS: 10635(Latest), “Guidelines for Free board requirements in Embankment Dams”.
7.6.1.8 Direction of Wind - Velocity of Wind - Wave Height - Free
Board-Top of Dam
The direction of wind in Kelwan reservoir area is mostly from east to west. The Nasik IMD station is located near to the Kelwan dam site. The maximum wind velocity of 13.2 km/hr is experienced in the month of June and the minimum wind velocity of 4.5 km/hr is experienced in the month of December. The average velocity of wind is 8.4 km/hr. However, a normal wind velocity of 44 m/sec has been considered. The following factors are taken into consideration while computing the free board requirement:
(a) Wave characteristics i.e. wave height and wave length; (b) Upstream slope of the dam and roughness of the pitching; (c) Height of wind setup above the still water level.
The details of free board requirement for all the six dams are
furnished in para 6.1.5 of Chapter – 6: Design Aspects. The top of the rock-fill portion of the Kelwan dam has been fixed at 174.0 m. 7.6.2 Sedimentation Data and Studies
512
Sediment load observations are being carried out by CWC at Mahuva
GandD site located on Purna River downstream of Kelwan dam site. The annual suspended sediment load observed at the GandD site was 0.3693 mm/year/km2 and the total sediment load including the bed load would be 0.4247 mm/year/km2. The sedimentation rate observed at the GandD site is much lower than the siltation rate recommended for the region in the “Compendium of Silting of Reservoirs in India” prepared by CWC. This may be due to less developmental activities in the catchment area of the dam at present. 7.6.2.1 Rate of Sedimentation with Basis
A sedimentation rate of 9.0 ham/100 sq.km/year has been adopted for analysis of Kelwan reservoir. The basis for adopting the value has already been explained under Para 7.1.2.1 above. 7.6.2.2 Quantity of Sediment
Considering the inflow sedimentation rate of 9.0 ham/100 km2/year the sediment volume at Kelwan reservoir will be as under:
i) 50 years sediment volume 29.902 MCM ii) 100 years sediment volume 59.689 MCM
7.6.2.3 Type and Shape of Reservoir
The Kelwan reservoir is considered as Flood plain-foot hill type and the standard classification is taken as Type II. 7.6.2.4 Sediment Studies – Kelwan Reservoir
The sedimentation study has been carried out using “Empirical Area Reduction” method. 7.6.2.5 Sediment Distribution
513
The sediment distribution is worked out for two periods, viz. 50 years and 100 years by Empirical Area Reduction method. For this purpose, the FRL 164.00 m is adopted and bed level of the reservoir is considered as 115.27 m. The original Elevation-Area-Capacity table for Kelwan reservoir is given in Table-7.36:

evaporation losses, environmental and domestic needs Unit: MCM Jun Jul Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb March April May
3 3 3 3 14 11 10 9 8 5 5 5
The monthly inflow series and monthly diversion requirements considered for simulation analysis of Kelwan reservoir for fixing its live storage are furnished in Appendix 5.5 in Volume – IV. 7.6.4.3 Water Tightness of the Reservoir
Preliminary Geotechnical Investigations were carried out at the dam
site by GSI, Western Region, Jaipur at Feasibility stage of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project during 1993-94. As per these investigations the foundation rocks at the dam site are Deccan traps and it’s differentiates. The exposed out crops are mainly consisting of horizontal to sub horizontal
518
sequence of lava flows, which includes amygdaloidal, dense, perphyritic basalt and flow breccias.
The report of GSI is at Appendix-4.2 and 4.4 in Volume-III. Also the
periphery of the proposed Kelwan reservoir is covered with the contours of value higher than the MWL. 7.6.4.4 Annual Losses The simulation study carried out for Kelwan reservoir for the period from 1975 to 2006 indicates that the annual average evaporation loss from Kelwan reservoir is 6.9 MCM with highest evaporation loss as 8.7 MCM during the year 1975 and the lowest evaporation loss as 4.2 MCM during the year 1987. Maximum Monthly evaporation loss is in October month and least Monthly evaporation loss is in July. 7.6.4.5 Flood Absorption
No flood storage is earmarked for this project. However, from reservoir routing it is seen that the maximum water level attained was 166.00 m and the maximum outflow discharge was 6582 Cumec. 7.6.5 Effects on Sub Soil Water Table in the Adjoining Areas
Particularly Downstream of the Dam
The sub-soil water table will improve due to the impoundment of water in the Kelwan reservoir. In addition, the regulated flows from the Kelwan dam into Purna River to meet environmental needs will increase the sub soil water level in the adjoining areas even during lean season. 7.6.6 Reservoir Rim Stability
The detailed geological mapping to analyze the problems of reservoir stability and reservoir competency with respect to seepage/leakage of the
519
proposed Kelwan reservoir could not be carried out due to public hindrance during DPR stage. However, preliminary Geotechnical investigations were carried out at the dam site by GSI, Western Region, Jaipur at Feasibility stage of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project during 1993-94. The entire reservoir area is covered by the Deccan trap and it’s differentiates. The rock type encountered is horizontal to sub horizontal sequence of lava flows.
There is shear zones and dykes, hence adequate care should be taken
to control these phenomenon before impounding the reservoir.
7.6.7 Area of Submergence 7.6.7.1 At Maximum Water Level
Area of submergence of Kelwan reservoir at MWL is 1870 ha.
7.6.7.2 At Full Reservoir Level
Area of submergence of Kelwan reservoir at FRL is 1629 ha. 7.6.7.3 Submergence Ratio - Submerged (Cultivated) Area/CCA The Kelwan reservoir is a part of net-work of 6 reservoirs proposed under Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project for diversion of surplus waters of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers for en-route irrigation and to take-over part command of Narmada Main Canal. The total submergence area (cultivated) under the six reservoirs is 2364 ha and the total CCA of the Link project is 232175 ha. Therefore, the Submergence Ratio works out to 0.0102.
7.6.8 Land Acquisition-Property Submerged-Rehabilitation 7.6.8.1 Land Acquisition
The land to be acquired is about 1629 ha (forest land: 890 ha, cultivable land: 450 ha and other lands including river portion: 289 ha) that is coming under submergence of Kelwan reservoir.
7.6.8.2 Details of Property Submerged
520
Due to creation of Kelwan reservoir 17 villages will be affected. These villages come under Ahwa taluka of The Dangs district of Gujarat. Total 793 households of these villages are likely to be affected.
(i) Details of Dislocation of Communication (Railways), Road(s), Right of Way, Telegraph Lines etc.) as a Result of the Project
No railway line is coming under the submergence area of Kelwan
reservoir. The State Highway connecting Vyara and Ahwa is coming under Submergence area of Kelwan dam. The power and telephone lines of about 14 km length connecting Karlipada-Khatal villages to be dislocated as a result of the project.
(ii) Details of Valuable Mineral Deposits / Mines
The Engineering Geology Division of GSI, Jaipur vide Letter No.
171/G-1/EG/WR/GSI08-09 dated 9th April, 2009 (Annexure – 4.3 in Volume -II) informed that no significant minerals have been reported from the Kelwan reservoir area, except construction material and a few minor minerals like zeolites.
(iii) Historic/Archaeological Monuments
As already mentioned under “Chapter – 4: Surveys and
Investigations-Para 4.2.1 Archaeological Survey”, no antiquarian archaeological remains have been noticed and none of the centrally protected monuments are located in the area likely to be submerged due to construction of Kelwan dam.
7.6.8.3 Rehabilitation of Project Affected People
The rehabilitation plan has already been detailed under Para 7.1.8.3 above.
7.6.9 Recreation Facilities
521
Following are the recreational facilities which are proposed to be developed.
• Development of parks/gardens in d/s of dam. • Development of Children parks in the township. • Development of Tourist spot with boating facilities • Development of Guest house, inspection bungalow and dormitory
accommodation.
These facilities will ensure tourism development in the area. The water-fall located just downstream of the dam site further enhances the tourism potential. 7.6.10 Pisciculture The submergence area of Kelwan reservoir is 1629 ha and there is lot of scope for developing fisheries. Considering the water spread area of Kelwan reservoir and the fish production rate indicated above, expected fish production in Kelwan reservoir will be about 81 tonnes per year which will increase the revenue from the project. 7.6.11 Need and Recommendation for Soil Conservation Measure
in the Catchment
The chances of soil erosion, if any can be prevented/minimized by adopting following measures:
• Step drain • Angle iron barbed wire fencing • Stone masonry • Check dams • Contour bunding • Development of nurseries • Plantation/ afforestation • Pasture development • Social forestry
522
Appropriate financial provisions have been provided for soil conservation measures in the catchment area.
7.7. Ukai Reservoir (Existing)
As mentioned above under Para “7.0 General” neither the storage of Ukai reservoir nor the waters of Tapi River would be used under the Par-Tapi- Narmada Link Canal project. But the Ukai reservoir will be used just as a ‘Level Crossing’ for diversion of water through the Link Canal. The monthly inflows at Ukai reservoir available from 1973 to 1998 are used for simulation analysis carried out from 1975 to 2006. The details of storage capacity of Ukai reservoir at important levels considered in the simulation study are given in Table -7.40.
Table -7.40
Ukai Reservoir Storage capacities and Levels considered for simulation

Irrigation Planning and Command Area Development
9.0 General The main objective of the Par-Tapi-Narmada Link project is to provide maximum irrigation facilities to Tribal areas enroute the link canal lying on its right side including drought prone Saurashtra region of Gujarat. The link project will cater the command areas of five projects namely Khuntali, Ugta, Sidhumber, Khata Amba, Zankhari, suggested by Government of Gujarat. Command in Tribal areas of Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal districts from Narmada Main canal on substitution basis, Tribal dominant districts of Dangs & Valsad of Gujarat State and Nasik district of Maharashtra State along with Drinking water of most of the villages in the vicinity and filling of most of Panchayat tanks will be served under Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal.
The Par-Tapi-Narmada link takes off from the Paikhed barrage. The initial part of the link consists of a 12.70 km long tunnel connecting Jheri to Nar river upstream of Paikhed dam. The canal part of the link starts from Paikhed barrage which is located 4.60 km downstream of the Paikhed dam. The FSL of the canal at Paikhed barrage is 142.800 m. The link canal on its way to Ukai reservoir on Tapi river is fed by the storages envisaged at Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs through feeder pipelines. The link canal after irrigating the command en-route, outfalls into the Ukai reservoir at FSL105.275 m and takes off from the Ukai reservoir with FSL 81.790 m and finally outfalls into the Miyagam branch canal at RD16.70 km of the Narmada main canal system. The FSL of the link canal at its tail end is 53.573 m.
9.1 Existing Irrigation Facilities in the Proposed Project Command
Area The Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal is aligned through Valsad, Navsari,
Tapi, Surat, Bharuch, Narmada, and Chhota Udepur districts of South Gujarat. The Command Area identified en-route the link canal lies in Navsari, Tapi, Surat and Bharuch districts. The existing source of irrigation in the vicinity of the en-route Command Area of the link canal is mainly
651
Wells and Tube-wells. The details of existing, ongoing and proposed irrigation & multipurpose projects in the vicinity of en-route Command Area of the link canal are given in Table-9.1:

9.1.1 Proposed Irrigation Facilities in the Proposed Project Command Area
The area envisaged for irrigation under the Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal project is divided into six parts:
i) The command area proposed en-route the link canal and feeder
pipelines by gravity. ii) Command area of Projects proposed by Government of Gujarat by
gravity. iii) Command area in the Tribal area right side of link canal by lift. iv) Command area in the vicinity of six proposed reservoirs through lift
652
v) Tribal area on right side of the Narmada Main canal by lift, on substitution basis.
vi) Command area of Miyagam branch canal of Narmada Main Canal (Target command) in Saurashtra region. The total culturable command area under the link project is 232175 ha,
of which 61190 ha lies enroute the link canal i.e., (i) 10100 ha is en-route command in the reach between Par and Tapi (ii) 49820 ha en-route command in the reach between Tapi and Narmada (iii) 630 ha en-route command under Dabdar feeder pipelines (iv) 640 ha en-route command under Kelwan feeder pipelines with 100% irrigation intensity.
The command area of projects suggested by Government of Gujarat on the left side of canal is about 45561 ha to be irrigated by gravity through link canal. Tribal area on right side of canal is 36200 ha will be irrigated by lift. About 12514 ha tribal area will also be irrigated directly by lift from proposed six reservoirs.Tribal area on right side of Narmada Main canal to the extent of 23750 ha in Chhota Udepur district and 10592 ha in Panchmahal district will also be irrigated through lift directly from Narmada Main canal on substitution basis. Finally, the linkproject will take over the area of 76710 ha under the command of existing Miyagam branch canal of Narmada canal system. Narmada Water so saved will be utilized to provide irrigation facilities in predominantly tribal areas of Chhota Udepur, Panchmahal district and in drought prone Saurashtra region of Gujarat State through Narmada Canal System. Thus the Par-Tapi-Narmada link project with present modified water planning shall provide irrigation facilities to 232175 ha CCA out of which 157291 ha in tribal areas of Gujarat and 74884 ha in other areas.
9.1.1.1 Command Area Proposed En-Route the Link Canal

9.3 Soil Surveys 9.3.1 Soil Capability Classification
The taluka wise reports of the soil survey carried out by Gujarat
Government in respect of the districts falling in the en-route command area have been collected from the Agriculture Department, Government of Gujarat. Reports on land irrigability and soil classification of Banni area of Kutch region and SSNNL phase I (Upto Mahi river), Soil classification report and soil maps for the talukas lying in reservoir submergence areas and link alignment have also been collected. Using this information the soil map of the en-route command area has been prepared and appended at Plate -4.45 in Volume -VII.
The characteristics of the soils present in the proposed Command
Area are described below. The en-route Command Area of the link canal lies in Navsari, Tapi,
Surat and Bharuch districts of South Gujarat. The Command area of Feeder Canals lies in Navsari and Dangs districts of South Gujarat.The soils found in South Gujarat can be divided into 3 main types viz. i) Deep Black, Medium Black to Loamy Sand (Goradu) soils, ii) Deep Black with Alluvial, Laterite and Medium Black Soils and iii) Deep Black Clayey Soils. Deep Black Soils are clay-like in texture, poor in drainage, neutral to alkaline in reaction and most fertile soils. Medium Black soils are Silt loam to clay in texture, neutral to alkaline in reaction. Lateritic soils support good forests. Alluvial soils are very deep.
Deep Black Clayey soils are found in Plain & Coastal areas and Sandy loam soils with shallow depth are present in Hilly areas of Navsari
665
district. Deep Black soils are present in Plain areas and Lateritic and eroded shallow and Clay loam moderately deep soils are present in Hilly areas of Tapi district. The predominant soils found in Surat district are Deep Black Clayey soils. “Goradu” soils are present in some areas of Kamarej, Mandavi, Mangrol talukas of Suratdistrict. Soils in Bharuch district are predominantly Deep Black soils followed by Loamy sand soils. Lateritic & Hilly soils are present in Dangs district.
The soils in Navsari, Surat and Bharuch districts are predominantly
very deep. In Tapi district soil depth is dominantly shallow. In Dangs districtthe soil depth is mostly shallow.
Soils in South Gujarat are fine to medium textured (Clayey to Loamy
Clay), except in Dangs district. In Dangs the soils are medium textured. Soil Drainage in South Gujarat in general can be classified as well to moderately drain. Whereas, the soils in Dangs district are well drained.Soil salinity belongs to slight to moderate and severe towards coastal area in Bharuch district. In Tapi and Dangs districts Soil salinity is moderate. Soil salinity in Surat and Navsari districts belongs to slight to strong salinity class. Soil Sodicity in South Gujarat in general belongs to slight Sodicity class except in Navsari where soil Sodicity varies from slight to moderate.
9.3.2 Land Irrigability Classification
Land irrigability class indicates limitations on the land use. Among
Land Irrigability classes, Class 1 to Class 4 comes under Irrigable Land class, Land under Class 5 is temporarily non-irrigable (further investigations needed) and Class 6 is land not suitable for irrigation. The soils belong to Soil Irrigability Classes from A to D come under Irrigable Land class. The lands having slopes less than 10%and depth of water table more than 1.5 m come under Irrigable Land class. The soils of texture “Sandy loam to clay loam” come under Soil irrigability class “A”. The soils of texture “Loamy sand and clay” come under Soil irrigability class “B”. The soils of texture “Sand and clay” come under Soil irrigability classes “C&D”.
As the soils in the Command Area are mainly Deep Black and
Medium Black Clayey soils, slope of the land is less than 5% and
666
Groundwater depth is more than 1.5 mthe area can be put under irrigation without any major constraints. However, in Tapi and Dangs districts where soil depth is shallow appropriate cropping pattern and water application methods need to be devised for irrigating the areas. 9.4 Agro-Climatic Conditions 9.4.1 Rainfall i) Rainfall during Monsoon (Max, Min & Mean Rainfall)
The maximum, minimum and mean monsoon rainfall (June to Sept)

The Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Canal off-takes from Paikhed barrage proposed on Nar River (a tributary of Par River) with a Full Supply Level of 142.800 m. The canal runs for a distance of about 177.736 km from Paikhed barrage and drops into existing Ukai reservoir on Tapi River at its left flank. Again the canal takes-off from the right flank of Ukai reservoir with an Off-take Level of 81.79 m and crosses the Narmada River downstream of Sardar Sarovar dam and out-falls into Miyagam branch canal (at RD 16.70 km) of Narmada Main canal after covering a total distance of about 191.307 km from its off-take point at Ukai reservoir. The Full Supply Level of the link canal at its tail end is 53.573 m.
Sample Command Area surveys were carried out in the Tapi-Narmada reach at three locations viz. i) Mandvi, ii) Wankal and iii) Valia to an extent of 1300 ha, 1750 ha and 1150 ha respectively, covering a total area of about 4200 ha. The topographical survey had been carried out at 50 m grid basis and the Command Area maps were prepared to a scale of 1: 15000 with contour interval of 1 to 2 m. The maps are appended as Plates 4.41 to 4.43 in Volume –VII. However, due to public hindrance no sample Command Area surveys could be carried out in the Par-Tapi reach.
En- route Gross Command Area of the link is 68793 ha which need to be surveyed for finalizing the Command Area en-route the link canal. Since field survey of such a large area was time consuming, it was decided to demarcate en-route Command Area under the link canal with Remote Sensing techniques. The demarcation of Command Area was got done through Regional Remote Sensing Centre (Jodhpur), ISRO. IRS P6 LISS IV data has been used along with SRTM DEM data to get the ground information of the proposed Command Area. A total area of around 3851 km2 is analyzed for identification of Command Area. For the analysis the entire area has been divided into two reaches viz. i) Par-Tapi reach and ii)
672
Tapi-Narmada reach. It is proposed to adopt an irrigation intensity of 100% in the en-route Command. The details of Command Area in these reaches are furnished in Table-9.14:

9.5.2 Scope for Double & Multiple Cropping pattern and Change in
Cropping Pattern 9.5.2.1 Soils
The details of soils present in the proposed Command Area are
already described under para 9.3 above. As the soils in the Command Area are mainly Deep Black and Medium Black Clayey soils, there are no limitations for adopting double and multiple cropping patterns in the proposed Command Area as far as soils are concerned. 9.5.2.1.1 Agro-climatic Conditions
Based on soil characteristics, rainfall and temperature Gujarat is
divided in to 8 Agro-climatic zones. The Command area of Par-Tapi-Narmada link canal falls in i) South Gujarat Heavy Rainfall Zone and ii) South Gujarat Zone. The climate in the region is Semi-arid to dry sub-humid. Therefore, the Agro-climatic conditions in the proposed Command Area are favorable for adopting double and multiple cropping patterns. 9.5.2.2 Water and Other Inputs like Fertilizers, Weedicides and
Pesticides
Input survey carried out by Revenue Department, Government of Gujarat in 2006-07 indicated that in 86% of agricultural holdings having irrigation facilities, Chemical Fertilizers were used and in about 80% of these holdings crops were treated with Pesticides. In un-irrigated holdings the use of Chemical Fertilizers & Pesticides was recorded as 62% and 65% respectively. It shows that usage of Fertilizers & Pesticides is very common among the farmers in the State. 9.5.2.3 Irrigated Crops in the Adjoining Area
675
The irrigated crops grown in the adjoining areas of command are
mainly Paddy, Wheat, Sugarcane, Cotton, Fruits and Vegetables. 9.5.2.4 Attitude of Farmers towards Modern Irrigated Agricultural
Practices As the farmers in the Command Area will get assured irrigation
through the link canal which improves their socio-economic status, most of the farmers may support modern irrigated agricultural practices. 9.6 Crop Water Requirement (A) En-route Command Area
The annual crop water requirement for each crop under En-route
Command Area has been computed by Irrigation Planning (South) Directorate, CWC adopting Modified Penman’s method. Basic data is given at Annexure-9.7 and detailed computations are at Annexure 9.8 in Volume-II. The details are given below in Table-9.17:

9.7.2 Ground Water 9.7.2.1 Ground Water Quality
The proposed Command Area of the link canal lies in Navsari, Dangs, Tapi, Surat and Bharuch districts of Gujarat.
Geologically the Navsari district comprises of Alluvium (Clay & Sand) & Trap. Basaltic out crops are seen in Vansda taluka in which the Command area lies. Ground water availability in alluvial formations is satisfactory. In Trap area, the availability of groundwater is less. The groundwater quality in the Command area is good.
Geologically the Dangs district is composed of Deccan trap Basalt. Basalt acts as poor aquifer. The water quality is very good.
Geologically the Tapi district is comprises of Deccan trap Basalt of Cretaceous-Eocene age, which is overlain by quaternary alluvium. The groundwater availability is poor in hard rock area but its quality is good.
Limestone & clay formation of Eocene ages and quaternary alluvium formation are seen in Surat district. The groundwater availability and quality is good in the proposed Command Area.
Geologically, Bharuch district is mainly divided in to 2 types of rocks. Alluvial formations are seen in western side. In the eastern side, where the Command area lies, Basaltic rocks are seen. Groundwater availability and quality is good in the proposed Command Area. Overall, the level of groundwater development in the proposed Command area of the link project can be categorized as “Safe”.

9.7.2.2 Conjunctive Use / Ground Water Support
In order to make an economic and efficient use of available water resources, it is essential that a judicious mix of surface and ground water are resorted to for irrigation purposes. There is considerable scope to further intensify the irrigation in the command areas by making use of the ground water resources available. This may further facilitate in checking the hazards of water logging and soil salinity in the command.
In the present planning, no use of ground water is proposed in any of the command. However, the available ground water resource can be utilized in future for further intensification or augmentation of the irrigation facilities in various commands, particularly to meet the irrigation requirement during lean season. 9.8 Command Area Drainage
The command area en-route the link canal is drained by a network of rivers namely Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna in addition to number of small streams and nallahs. The commands have quite good draining facilities. However, with the introduction of irrigation, as the command area develops, drainage problem may crop up in the course of time. Suitable provision is, therefore, made in the project estimate towards chalk and collecting drains in the command area. 9.9 Water Course / Field Channels
These are small channels to deliver water to each and every field in the command area of an outlet which is approximately 40 ha for a delivery system of one cusec. Water course generally off takes from a minor or distributaries. Capacity of a water course depends upon (a) Water allowance (b) running period of outlet and (c) Area to be irrigated.
Branch canals, major/minor distributaries, sub-minors & water
courses /field channels etc., are planned and designed to facilitate in carrying water from their out lets upto the tail end, at very short time, preventing loss of seepage in agricultural land. The rate per hectare arrived
688
on the basis of a representative sample area surveyed. Thus, the total cost of U-Distributaries, minors & sub-minors and V-Water courses/field channels in the whole command area of the link project has been arrived.
Three sample areas have been selected for command area surveys viz Wankal,Valiya and Mandavi. The grid survey of proposed command area under the Mandavi Branch canal which off-takes at RD 51.525 km of Tapi-Narmada portion of Par-Tapi-Narmada link has been carried out, covering an area of 1300 ha has been selected for cost estimation of command area development. The estimated cost/ha of CCA works out to Rs.38701/- (price level 2013-14), inclusive of U-Distributaries, Minors and Sub-minors and V-Water courses/field channels. The details are at Appendix Volume-VI. 9.10 Water Management 9.10.1 Review and Evaluation of Existing System of Operation and
Distribution in the Command and/or in some Adjoining Projects, if any
Maximum gains in water use efficiency can only be made when these
are combined with better management practices. Keeping this concept in view, the Government of Gujarat has decided to cover maximum possible command area under Participatory Irrigation Management to ensure that irrigation water is distributed efficiently and equitably in the command area and that it be used efficiently through Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM). Where irrigation Co-Operatives maintain the canal network and field channels, expand irrigated area and distribute and provide tail-enders their fair and just share of water. Rehabilitation of existing canal network through stakeholders' participation to make water available to tail-enders is given priority.
9.10.2 Proposals for Participatory Irrigation Management Including
Formation of Water Users Association
The Government of Gujarat has taken up initiative to involve beneficiaries and stakeholders in irrigation management by enacting PIM Act in 2007. Under the provisions of this Act, Water Users' Association (WUA) is formed from amongst the beneficiary farmers in command area of an irrigation project. 90% of cost for community mobilization is borne by
689
the Government. Rehabilitation of canals is completed by the Government before handing over to WUAs. The WUA contributes 10% of the rehabilitation cost. Preference is given to WUA to carry out rehabilitation by them. A canal can be handed over to WUA even prior to rehabilitation, if the WUA so demands. Advance payment of the order of 1/3rd of the estimated cost is given to WUA for starting the work. Under the provisions of the Act, a WUA is authorized for;
Collecting Government water charges Retention of 50% for O&M permitted, rest goes to the Government Deciding water rates higher than the Government charges Retaining entire additional amount Increasing women's participation in the WUA Similar practice can be adopted in Par – Tapi – Narmada link project also. 9.10.3 Scope of Introduction of Modern Technology Like Sprinklers,
Drip Irrigation etc. A total command area of 232175 ha is envisaged under the Par-Tapi-Narmada link project with intensity of irrigation as 100%. Out of the above, 125424 ha area covered under Chhota Udepur & Panchmahal Districts (34342 ha) covered by lift from Narmada Main canal, target area under Saurashtra region (42368 ha), enroute area lying on right side of the link canal (36200 ha), area in the vicinity of the six proposed reservoirs (12514 ha) is planned to be irrigated by Drip & Sprinkler irrigation Systems.Government of Gujarat has also suggested to adopt pressure irrigation where lifting of water is involved. 9.10.4 Existing Practice of Department of Agriculture for
Popularizing Micro Irrigation
Gujarat Green Revolution Company limited is an implementing agency for implementation of Micro Irrigation Scheme on behalf of Government of India and Government of Gujarat in Gujarat State through reputed authorized Micro Irrigation System suppliers, who supplies and
690
installs the Micro Irrigation System and also provides agro services pertaining to Micro Irrigation System. It is aim to bring 2nd Green Revolution in the State by saving of water, electricity and enhancing agriculture productivity resulting in the farmers prosperity at large.
The Gujarat Agro Industries Corporation (GAIC) and Agricultural
Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) adopts various programs and schemes for the Agriculture and Horticulture segment for investments and other processing subsidies in the Food Processing Sector. Agri implement service help is provided by the government for open pipelines and purchase of Tractor, etc. Bio gas subsidies are offered with loan application.
9.10.5 Facilities for Training the Operation and Maintenance
Personnel at Different Levels of Management and Farmers-Adequacy of Existing Facilities and Proposals for Augmentation Water Resources Department through Water & Land Management
Institute (WALMI) initiated systematic and intensive training courses and orientation programs for all stake holders at each level. Adequate training facilities are available to the farmers. Due to latest technology like Television and Mobile phones available in each house, farmers get to know the latest in the agricultural field and Government schemes, subsidies etc.Training to the farmers at their native villages may be imparted on various crops suitable in area specific agro climatic zone and also on Pressurrised irrigation practices.
9.10.6 Existing Extension Activity andProposals for its Improvement
The Agriculture & Co-operation Department, Government of Gujarat
provides Training and extension services to educate the farmers about the use of improved and modern agriculture technology, and cultivation of high value crops. The department is organizing Krushi Mahotsavs (Lab to Land programme) with 'Krushi Raths' (vans) reaching to farmers with Researchers, Scientists and experts interacting and providing information and counseling on soil health, organic farming, technology and inputs, irrigation etc. Gujarat is the first State to issue Soil Health Cards to farmers which helps them in getting good yields. Agri-implements subsidies,
691
Agriculture Support Schemes, Seeds Sahaya etc. are some of the schemes launched by the Agriculture & Co-operation Department, Government of Gujarat for the benefit of farmers. 9.11 Command Area

Though the soils in the Command Area are mainly clayey soils, as the slope of the land is less than 5% and Groundwater depth is more than 1.5 m no drainage problem is anticipated. With the network of a number of tributaries of Kharera, Kelia, Kaveri, Ambica, Purna, Kim and Amravati Rivers, the command area has good drainage facilities. Thedistrict wise total utilisable/extractable Ground Water Availability and net draft in the command area in pre & post project scenario are given in Annexure- 9.25.In the command area, the stage of groundwater development is less than 70% and hence falls under the “Safe Category” 9.11.1.10 Agriculture
The classification of lands and the present land use in en-route
Command Area has already been discussed in this chapter under Para 9.11.1.2. Proposed land use will change due to increase in cultivated area and increase in developmental activities due to this project. The Cropping Intensity and Intensity of irrigated crops in the districts of en-route Command Area are given in Table-9.33:

The increase in Intensity of Irrigated crops in the area leads to
increase in the agricultural production which in turn makes agriculture remunerative. Therefore, the farmers will have a positive attitude towards improved agricultural practices.
(a) Use of Improved Implements and Seeds
Sixty eight percent of Agricultural holdings in the Districts lying in
en-route Command Area are Small & marginal (less than 2 ha). The Input Survey carried out by Revenue Department, Government of Gujarat in 2006-07 shows that among all groups of Holdings in which Tractors were used, 38% were used in Small & marginal holding for Agricultural purposes. Among all groups of Holdings in which Tractor drawn Seed Drill Cum Fertilizer Drills were used, 41% were used in Small & marginal holdings. Among all groups of Holdings in which Power Threshers were
703
used, 42% were used in Small & marginal holdings. Among all groups of Holdings in which Sprinklers were used, 47% were used in Small & marginal holdings. Among all groups of Holdings in which Drip Irrigation Sets were used, 34% were used in Small & marginal holdings. Among all groups of Holdings in which Certified seeds were used, 63% were used in Small & marginal holdings. Among all groups of Holdings in which Notified seeds were used, 62% were used in Small & marginal holdings. Among all groups of Holdings in which Hybrid seeds were used, 53% were used in Small & marginal holdings. This shows that farmers in general are willing to use improved agricultural implements and seeds.
(b) Use of Fertilizers, Insecticides, Pesticides, etc.
Input survey carried out by Revenue Department, Government of
Gujarat indicated that in 86% of agricultural holdings having irrigation facilities, Chemical Fertilizers were used and in about 80% of these holdings crops were treated with Pesticides. In un-irrigated holdings the use of Chemical Fertilizers & Pesticides was recorded as 62% and 65% respectively. It shows that usage of Fertilizers & Pesticides is very common among the farmers in the State. Farmers in the Command Area are also inclined to use Fertilizers, Insecticides, Pesticides, etc. in their farms. 9.11.1.12. Identification of Problems in En-route Command Area (i) Physical Problems Including Hazards
(a) Land Slopes: The land is generally undulating; therefore, canal
distribution system has to be aligned accordingly. (b) Soil Depth: There may not be any problem on this account, as sufficient
soil depth is available in the area for providing canal irrigation. (c) Salinity/Alkalinity: Since the Par, Nar, Tan, Ambica, Kapri and Purna
Rivers’ water, which does not have Salinity/Alkalinity problem, will be used for irrigation no Salinity/Alkalinity problem is expected in the Command Area.
704
(d) Water Logging: No water-logging problem of serious nature has been reported from the area. But after introduction of irrigation, the Command Area shall be monitored for water logging as the soils in the Command Area are mainly clayey soils.
(e) Drainage: As area is undulating with moderate slopes no drainage
problem is anticipated. However, keeping in view the soil type present in the Command suitable drainage network shall be provided.
9.11.1.13 Financial Problems
Kisan credit cards issued by State Government,Primary Agricultural
Credit Societies, Regional Rural Bank Branches, Commercial Bank Branches and Primary Land Development Banks will meet the credit needs of the farmers and hence no financial problems need to be faced by the farmers.
9.11.1.14 Proposed Cropping Pattern with Justification based on Land
Irrigability Classification, Agro Climatic Conditions Developed Irrigated Cropping Pattern in Adjoining Project / Area etc.
Proposed cropping pattern of en-route command and target command has been developed based on the Land irrigability and capability classification along with agro climatic conditions of the region. The details of proposed cropping pattern for the command area have been covered in Irrigation Planning. 9.11.1.15 Land Development Work Proposals
As the area is already under rain-fed cultivation, no major land
development works are required. However, a provision of Rs. 72547 lakh has been kept in the estimate for land development works wherever required. At the time of implementation of the project, detailed survey of each command will be done and based on the requirement, land development works will be taken up. This work will be done by State Irrigation Department or State Agriculture Department or Command Area
705
Development Authority (to be decided by concerned State Governments). Estimate comprising land levelling charges are given in Annexure-13.4 in Appendix Volume-VI (A).
At present fairly good extension services exists in the command area and number of commercial banks and co-operative banks also have their branches there. Branches of land development banks are also located in some rural areas of the command. Moreover, the agricultural materials like seeds, fertilizers, insecticide, pesticides, etc. are provided to the farmers by the concerned government department at subsidized rates through different sale booths or fair price shops. 9.11.1.16 Ayacut Roads
Suitable provisions for CD structures will be made to avoid traffic disruption through ayacut roads. 9.11.1.17 Benefits (i) Crop-wise Increase in Yield per ha and Total Estimated Output from the enroute Command The irrigation under Par-Tapi-Narmada link project has been planned such a way that the diverted water will be utilized judiciously and optimally to bring more area under irrigation for benefitting as many farmers as possible. To achieve this objective an intensity of irrigation of 100% has been adopted for the entire command area of the link project. The cropping pattern is proposed keeping in view the existing crop practices in the command area and the need for optimum utilization of water for obtaining better yields and returns. Pressurized Irrigation method has been adopted for the command area covered by lift irrigation. And also, cropping pattern with good mix of Food and Commercial crops has been adopted to maximize crop yields and returns in the post project scenario. The crop-wise yields per ha under pre and post project scenarios in the command areas are furnished below.

9.11.2 Command Area Proposed Under Feeder Pipe lines The Command Area proposed under Dabdar (630 ha) and Kelwan
(640 ha) Feeder pipe lines is very small as the area is mostly covered by dense forests. Not much Command Area Development work need to be done in the areas as the areas are already under cultivation, but rain-fed. The major part of the Command Area proposed under Feeder pipe lineslie in Ahwa Taluka of The Dangs District and small patches lie in Navsari & Tapi Districts. The Agro-climatic and Socio-economic conditions in the proposed Command area under Feeder pipe linesare more or less similar to the en route Command Area, so no separate details are given. The details of benefits from the Command are presented below. 9.11.2.1 Benefits (i) Crop-wise Increase in Yield per ha and Total Estimated Output

Chapter – 11 Environment Impact Assessment and
Environment Management Plan
11.0 General The water is an essential element in all the developmental activities of the mankind which is required throughout the year. Water is also required for sustenance of the surrounding environment. Precipitation is the only source of fresh water supply which is unevenly distributed both in space and time confined to mainly in monsoon season ie June to Sept only. As such building storage dams to store flood waters are necessary so that the availability of water could be ensured throughout the year for various requirements including drinking water. Though reservoirs increase the water availability leading to various developmental activities and prosperity in the area, but some adverse impacts on the environment are also inevitable. As such, it is necessary to identify the adverse impacts along with the positive benefits of the reservoirs to mitigate or ameliorate the anticipated adverse impacts on the environment.
To identify both positive and adverse environmental impacts due to the proposed Par-Tapi-Narmada link project and to suggest measures to mitigate or ameliorate the anticipated adverse impacts on the environment, the Environmental Impact Assessment study of this link project has been carried out through Water and Power Consultancy Services India Limited. Brief report of the study indicating baseline information on various environmental aspects, Environmental Impact Assessment of the project, Environmental Management Plan and Environmental Monitoring Plan along with the costs to implement the Environmental Management Plan are presented in the following paragraphs: 11.1 The Proposed Project 11.1.1 Project Background Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project has been planned to transfer surplus waters of West flowing Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins of South Gujarat and neighbouring Maharashtra to provide irrigation facilities to: the
845
areas on its enroute: tribal areas enroute right side of the link canal; tribal dominant districts of Dang and Valsad of Gujarat and Nasik district of Maharashtra; command area of five projects proposed by Government of Gujarat in its initial reaches to caters the water demands for irrigation and drinking purposes in its enroute; and take over the part command area of existing Miyagam Branch Canal of Narmada Canal System. The Narmada waters so saved in Sardar Sarovar Project would be utilized to provide irrigation facilities: in tribal areas of Naswadi, Kavant, Sankheda, Jetpur Pavi, Chhota Udepur talukas of Chhota Udepur district and Halol, Ghogamba and Kalol talukas of Panchmahal district by lift directly from Narmada Main Canal on substitution basis; and in drought affected Saurashtra region of Gujarat on substitution basis through Narmada Canal System to meet irrigation, domestic and other requirements. In addition to this, all possible Panchayat / village tanks coming in the vicinity of the project will be filled up. The project will also provide drinking water to tribal population in the vicinity.
The Union Ministry of Water Resources in the year 1980 had
prepared a National Perspective Plan for Water Resources Development in the country, which comprises two components: Himalayan Rivers Development Component and Peninsular Rivers Development Component. The Par-Tapi-Narmada link is one of the 16 link proposals coming under the peninsular rivers development component of National Perspective Plan, involving the States of Maharashtra and Gujarat which will provide water for irrigation and drinking purposes as specified in preceedind para.
Par-Tapi-Narmada Link project envisages transfer of about 1330 Million Cubic metres (MCM) surplus water available in west flowing Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins of South Gujarat and Maharashtra to North Gujarat. The project envisages construction of 6 dams and 6 power houses involving submergence of about 6065 ha of land affecting about 2500 families in 61 villages in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
The earlier DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project - Aug, 2015 has
been revised based on decisions taken at various Meetings in light of the suggestions of Government of Gujarat to consider the water demands for
846
irrigation and drinking water purposes in the vicinity of the project as specified above. The following are the broad changes incorporated in the Revised DPR of Par-Tapi-Narmada Link Project..
1. An additional area of 45561 ha of five projects viz., Ugta, Sidhumber, Khata Amba, Zankhari and Khuntali is included in the PTN link project.
2. An area of about 36,200 ha benefitting the tribal areas on the right side of PTN link canal by lift is included.
3. Command area 12514 ha in the vicinity of six proposed reservoirs through lift directly from reservoirs in Dang and Valsad districts of Gujarat and Nasik district of Maharashtra.
4. An area of about 23750 ha and 10592 ha is included in the command area in Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal districts respectively by substitution through lift from Narmada Main Canal.
5. Out of a total Culturable Command Area of about 2.32 lakh ha, about 68% of the area (1.57 lakh ha) is now benefitting the tribal areas.
6. Provision is made for drinking water needs of all villages in Dangs district and villages in Dharmapur and Kaparada talukas of Valsad district.
7. Provision is made for filling up of all village tanks in the benefitted tribal areas.
8. Open channels has been replaced with closed pipeline system in the feeder canals (totalling about 37 km length) as well as in the distribution system in the command areas to reduce the land acquisition.
11.1.2 Project Justification
The rainfall in Saurashtra and Kutch regions of Gujarat is very scanty and the area is frequently affected by droughts. The annual normal rainfall (1951-2000) in Saurashtra and Kutch region is 507 mm and whereas the average annual Rainfall in Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins is assessed to be 2180, 2055, 1830 and 1472 mm respectively. The rivers in Saurashtra and Kutch region are mostly dry throughout the year. Whereas, sizable quantum of flows of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers are going to sea unutilised every year. The water availability studies of these
847
basins carried out by Central Water Commission indicates availability of sizable surplus waters. The available surplus waters shall be stored in the reservoirs to be constructed on these rivers and diverted to Saurashtra and Kutch regions for meeting irrigation, drinking and other needs. However, before considering any water transfer from these basins the water requirements of the peoples in the vicinity of the proposed reservoirs and en-route of the link canal will be met on top priority basis. The Par-Tapi-Narmada link project is one of the viable options to divert the surplus flows of Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers to Provide irrigation benefits in Tribal areas as well as in drought prone Saurashtra and Kutch regions of Gujarat etc.
Accordingly, Preliminary Feasibility study to ascertain whether the project is feasible was carried out for the diversion of surplus waters of West flowing Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna rivers of South Gujarat to provide the irrigation benefits in tribal areas as well as in the drought prone Saurashtra and Kutch regions of Gujarat etc. While working out the quantity of water that can be diverted through Par-Tapi-Narmada link, the in-basin requirements of water up-stream and down-stream of the proposed dams at the ultimate stage of development have been considered for justifying the diversion of water through the proposed Par-Tapi-Narmada link project. 11.1.3 Project Description The Par-Tapi-Narmada link project envisages construction of the following components at the DPR preparation stage: i) A 808.32 m long composite embankment (concrete face rock fill)

reservoir submergence. ii) 10 km on either side of the canal. iii) 10 km radius around the project area from the periphery of the project
site. iv) Catchment area intercepted at each dam site. v) Command area of the project. 11.3 Legal Status of the Project
The Water Resources Project, when implemented provides the immense benefits to the society in the form of increased availability of water for irrigation, domestic, industrial and other uses. On the other hand,
851
these projects have impacts, both positive and negative on the environment of the project area and in the near vicinity and also affect the socio-economic conditions of the population in the specific region. The project before implementation required statutory clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forests and Climate Change. As stipulated in the Environmental Impact Assessment Notification of 14th Sept 2006, the Terms and Conditions for carrying out the Environmental Impact Assessment study of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project were submitted to the Ministry for approval. The Ministry vide letter No.J-12011/55/2008-IA.I, dated 8th June 2009 (Annexure-1.10, Vol-II) accorded clearance for pre-construction activities at the proposed site as per the provisions of EIA Notification-2006 alongwith the TORs for preparation of EIA report.
The Par-Tapi-Narmada link project comprises of 6 dams, 2 barrages,
6 power houses and canal. This will involve the shifting of the families residing in the villages likely to be affected by these dams / reservoirs. These project affected families are required to be resettled at the new locations. Therefore, with a view to compensate the Project Affected Families ensuring that the proper facilities in the re-settlement colonies are provided, a Rehabilitation and Resettlement Plan has been evolved. While formulating the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Plan, the provisions of National Policy on Rehabilitation and Resettlement–2007 have been kept in view. Various provisions of Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policies of Gujarat and Maharashtra are compared with the provision of National Policy on Rehabilitation and Resettlement – 2007 and best of the provision have been adopted. The project is lying in the tribal area as such the Rehabilitation and Resettlement plan required clearance from Ministry of Tribal Affairs.
The Par-Tapi-Narmada link project is required about 4439 ha of
forest land as such forest clearance under Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 is required. A provision for afforestation in double the area in de-graded forests region has been kept as per the Forests (Conservation) Act, 1980. The project will also require Techno-economic clearance from Central Water Commissioner; investment clearance from Ministry of Water Resources, RD and GR; and Consent to Establish from Maharashtra and Gujarat Pollution Control Boards under Water (Prevention and Control of
852
Pollution) Act 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1981.
The Geological Survey of India (GSI), Jaipur vide their letter No. 171/G-1/EG/WR/GSI/08-09 dated 9th April, 2009 (Annexure 4.3, Vol-II) had indicated that the area of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project are occupied by the different basaltic flows and associated rocks belonging to the Deccan Traps. No significant minerals have been reported from the area, except construction material and a few minor minerals like zeolites. Similarly, the Archaeological Survey of India, Vadodara vide their letter No. 36/10/MIS/08-09/4078 dated 19th June 2009 (Annexure 4.2.1, Vol-II) and Archaeological Survey of India, Aurangabad vide their letter No. 12/2009-10/Tech-3036 dated 17th Feb 2011 (Annexure 4.2.2, Vol-II) have submitted brief report on archaeological exploration and informed that no monuments or any remains of archaeological importance were noticed in the areas of the 6 reservoirs viz Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dams and none of the centrally protected monuments are located in the area likely to be submerged due to the construction of the 6 proposed dams in the area of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project. As such, No Objection Certificates from Ministry of Coal and Mines and Archaeological Survey of India are not required. 11.4 Baseline Environmental Data
It is essential that the baseline levels of environmental parameters which could be significantly affected by the implementation of the project are to be ascertained before implementation of the project. The baseline status shall involve both field work and review of data collected from secondary sources. A similar approach has been adopted for conducting comprehensive environmental impact assessment study for the proposed Par-Tapi-Narmada link project.
The baseline survey planning commenced with the short listing of impacts and identification of parameters for which the data needs to be collected. Baseline status has been ascertained for air environment, water environment, land environment, public health and biological (terrestrial and aquatic) environment. The baseline status has been divided into three
853
categories: Physio-chemical aspects; Ecological aspects; and Socio-Economic aspects. 11.4.1 Air Environment 11.4.1.1 Ambient Air Quality
The sources of air pollution in the study area are vehicular traffic, dust arising from unpaved village roads and domestic fuel burning. The prime objective of the baseline air quality study was to establish the existing ambient air quality of the area. The baseline status of the ambient air quality has been established through a scientifically designed ambient air quality monitoring network. The monitoring of ambient air quality has been done for summer and winter seasons. The Ambient Air Quality in the project area has been monitored at 24 locations. The parameters such as Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (PM10), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) have been monitored. List of ambient air quality monitoring stations is given at Table- 11.1.

The result of Ambient Air Quality monitoring observations on SO2
and NOx levels indicate that: SO2 Levels:
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) values ranged from 6.2 to 13.5 μg/m3 in summer season and 3.5 to 13.2 μg/m3 in winter season, which are well below the permissible limit of 50 μg/m3 specified for industrial, residential and rural areas. The absence of industrial sources, low vehicular density in
855
the project area can be attributed to low SO2 level. NOx Levels:
Average NOx values ranged from 9.8 to 13.1 μg/m3 in summer season and 6.7 to 19.4 μg/m3 in winter season, which are well below the permissible limit of 40 μg/m3 specified for industrial, residential and rural areas. The absence of pollution sources in the study area is the reason of low NOx level. Observations on Ambient Respirable Particulate Matter Levels:
Average RPM values ranged from 25.1 to 36.8 μg/m3 in summer season and 24.4 to 34.2 μg/m3 in winter season, which are well below the permissible limit of 60 μg/m3 specified for industrial, residential and rural areas. The RPM level was marginally higher in summer season as compared to winter season because lower moisture content in soil and vegetal cover in summer season. Conclusions:
Based on the findings of the ambient air quality survey conducted for the summer and winter seasons, it can be concluded that the ambient air quality is quite good in the area. The values of these parameters were well below the permissible limits specified for residential, rural and other areas. The absence of industries and low vehicular traffic has attributed for the good ambient air quality in the project area. 11.4.1.2 Noise Environment
Noise level was monitored at 9 locations: Dharampur, Sarvar, Dhangdi, Motikorwad, Davdahad, Mankuniya, Chikkar, Surgana and Dhankawal in the study area. Monitoring was conducted for two seasons namely summer (June 2010) and winter (December 2010). The noise levels were monitored continuously for 24 hours at each location and hourly equivalent noise level was measured.
856
At each station, hourly noise level was monitored. These values were then used to estimate the day time and night time equivalent noise levels.
The day time equivalent noise level at various sampling stations ranged from 37.23 to 58.88 and 47.40 to 58.70 dB(A) in summer and winter seasons respectively. The noise levels in residential areas are well within the permissible limit of 55 dB(A) specified for commercial area (65 dB(A)), industrial area (70 dB(A) and silence zone (50 dB(A)).The night time equivalent noise levels at various sampling stations ranged from 28.62 to 40.70 dB(A) and 30.50 to 42.63 dB(A) in summer and winter seasons respectively, which are well within the permissible limit specified for various categories.
11.4.1.3 Meteorology
Climatologically, the calendar year in the project area can be categorized into:
Winter November to February Summer March to May Monsoon June to September Post-monsoon / Transition October
Temperature: Mean maximum temperature is observed in Vadodara 39.9 0C and Surat 36.8 0C. The mean minimum temperature observed at Vadodara is 13.2 0C and Surat is 14.7 0C . Rainfall: The monsoon rainfall occurs mainly during mid June to Sept. Maximum rainfall is received in months July and August. The annual average rainfall values observed at the India Meteorological Department stations of Vadodara and Surat are used for the command area and are 923 mm and 1209 mm respectively. Majority of the rainfall is received under the influence of south –west monsoons. Humidity: Monthly mean maximum and minimum relative humidity recorded at Surat and Vadodara stations are 90% and 53% and 94% and 44% respectively.

The result of Water Quality Monitoring indicates that:
i) The pH level in the study area ranged from 6.95 to 8.32 in summer season and 7.3 to 8.2 in winter season and 7.2 to 8.1 in monsoon season at the samples sites considered in the study area. The pH level indicates neutral nature of the water and is well within the permissible limit of 6.5 to 8.5 specified for meeting the drinking water quality requirements. ii) The TDS level in summer, winter and monsoon seasons are ranged from 150 to 1010 mg/l, 56 to 340 mg/l and 72 to 220 mg/l. TDS level in monsoon seasons for ground water are ranged from 108 to 304 mg/l. The TDS levels observed in some of the samples sites were above the permissible limit of 500 mg/l specified for the drinking water quality and also within the rejection limit of 1500 mg/l. For irrigation water, the permissible limit is 2250 μmhos/cm, which is equivalent to the TDS level of about 1600-1700 mg/l. As the TDS level was below this limit, the water quality is found suitable for meeting the irrigation requirements. iii) The hardness level ranged from 50 to 230 mg/l, 20 to 110 mg/l and 52 to 120 mg/l in summer, winter and monsoon seasons respectively indicating soft nature and for ground water hardness level ranged from 54 to 160 mg/l indicating soft nature. The hardness level generally was well below the permissible limit of 200 mg/l specified for drinking water. In only one sample, hardness level was 230 mg/l, which is well within the cause for rejection limit of 600 mg/l. Hardness is caused by divalent metallic cations. The principal hardness causing cations are calcium, magnesium, strontium and ferrous and iron. The low levels of calcium and magnesium are mainly responsible for the soft nature of water.
861
iv) The concentration of various cations, viz sodium, calcium and magnesium was observed to be within the permissible limits. This is also reflected by the low SAR value, which ranged from 1.44 to 20.16 and 6.5 to 29.2 in summer and winter seasons respectively. Permissible limit SAR for irrigation purpose is 26. The DO level ranged from 5.1 to 8.8 mg/l at various sampling locations. The BOD values are well within permissible limit, which indicates that the organic pollution loading entering the water bodies is well within the carrying capacity. The low COD values also indicate the absence of chemical pollution loading in the area. The marginal quantity of pollution load which enters the water bodies gets diluted. 11.4.2.2 Ground Water Quality Monitoring
The Ground water quality monitoring in the study area was done during monsoon season at 4 sampling locations. The analysis of the collected samples was carried out in the laboratory as per the standard respective protocols. The summary of summer and winter seasons ground water monitoring is given below:
pH level in the study area ranged from 6.95 to 7.34 in summer season and 7.30 to 7.80 in winter season which indicates the neutral nature of the water, and are within the permissible limit of 6.5 to 8.5 specified for meeting drinking water requirements; TDS level ranged from 240 to 525 mg/l in summer and 172 to 228 mg/l in winter season, which is well within the permissible limit of 500 mg/l specified for drinking water and also within the cause for rejection limit of 1500 mg/l; hardness level ranged 100 mg/l in summer season and 70 to 90 mg/l in winter season, indicating soft nature. The hardness level generally is well below the permissible limit of 200 mg/l specified for drinking water.
The concentration of various cations, viz sodium, calcium and magnesium was observed to be within the permissible limits. This is also reflected by the low SAR value, which ranged from 3.17 to 4.32 in summer season and 13.8 to 17.00 in winter season. Permissible limit of SAR for irrigation purpose is 26. The DO level ranged from 7.5 to 8.70 mg/l in summer season and 5.2 to 5.6 mg/l in winter season at various sampling locations. The BOD values are well within permissible limit, which
862
indicates that the organic pollution loading entering the water bodies is well within the carrying capacity. The low COD values also indicate the absence of chemical pollution loading in the area. The marginal quantity of pollution load which enters the water bodies gets diluted. 11.4.3 Land Environment 11.4.3.1 Land Use
The land use and land cover information of the catchment area of the 6 dams has been mapped using the digital satellite data of IRS 1C-LISS III. Various major categories like Agricultural land, Wasteland, Water body, etc were identified and mapped. Area statistics is calculated for different Land use / Land cover categories and furnished at Table- 11.5 for the catchment area of the 6 dam sites:

The Geological Survey of India, Western Region, Jaipur had informed vide their letter No. 171/G-1/EG/WR/GSI/08-09 dated 9th April 2009 (Annexure 4.3, Volume-II) that, the area covered under Par-Tapi-Narmada link project in Valsad and Dangs districts of Gujarat and partly Nasik district of Maharashtra are occupied by the different basaltic flows and associated rocks belonging to the Deccan Traps. No significant minerals have been reported from the area, except construction material and a few minor minerals like zeolites. 11.4.3.3 Historic / Archaeological Monuments
The Archaeological Survey of the project area has been carried out by Archaeological Survey of India, Aurangabad Circle during May, 2009 and Dec, 2010. The Archaeological Survey of India, Vadodara vide their letter No. 36/10/MIS/08-09/4078 dated 19th June 2009 (Annexure 4.2.1, Volume-II) have submitted a brief report on archaeological exploration and informed that no monuments or any remains of archaeological importance were noticed in the areas of 5 reservoirs viz., Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan dams and none of the centrally protected monuments are located in the area likely to be submerged due to
865
construction of proposed dams in the area of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project. Similarly, the Superintending Archaeologist, Archaeological Survey of India, Aurangabad Circle vide their F No.12/2009-10/Tech-3036 dated 17th Feb 2011 (Annexure 4.2.2, Volume-II) submitted the brief report on the archaeological survey and informed that no monuments or any remains of archaeological importance were noticed at dam site and in the submergence area of Jheri reservoir proposed under Par-Tapi-Narmada link project 11.4.3.4 Geology
The geology of the Par-Tapi-Narmada link project area, which forms a part of the peninsular shield of India, is mostly covered by basaltic rock formed by eruption and solidification of lava flows (Misra, 2005). The Indian sub-continent has experienced at least 5 continental flood basalt eruptions ranging in age from Middle Proterozoic to Late Cretaceous and Early Tertiary. The youngest of these is the Deccan Flood Basalt of Cretaceous to Eocene age. The series of eruptions proceeded from fissures and cracks in the surface of the earth, from where lava welled out intermittently till a thick sheet of basalt was formed. This obliterated the previously existing topography of the country and converted it into an immense volcanic plateau. This epochal volcanic formation is known in Indian geology as the Deccan Trap formation. Most of the land around the project site is covered by Deccan Traps, which almost entirely constitute the exposed rock unit of this terrain.
The most prominent rock formations at all the 6 dam sites of Par-Tapi-Narmada link project are of Deccan trap represented by Amygdaloidal basalt. The Par and Auranga basins, where Jheri, Paikhed and Chasmandva dam sites are located, belong to the Precambrian, melipozoice, tertiary and quaterniary ages. Deccan traps in this region are of two types; one being dark grey to bluish black, which are hard, compact and massive; and the other being light brown to pink, which are soft. The Ambica basin wherein Chikkar and Dabdar dams are proposed belong to the Quaternary and Tertiary ages. Deccan traps with dykes alluvial plains. Rocks found in Purna basin, where Kelwan dam is proposed are Neogene, Paleogene and early Paleogene. In the east of Purna basin, there are high ridges and deep
866
valleys; which towards west merge into the lower reach composed of recent and sub-recent alluvium.
11.4.3.5 Soils
The Par-Tapi-Narmada link in the western part of India is planned to transfer water from the surplus regions of Western Ghats to the water deficit regions of Saurashtra and Kutch regions. Soil is the product of geological, chemical and biological interactions. The soils of district Vadodara are shallow to deep and are dominantly fine textured (clayey) followed by medium textured (loamy). The soils in southern region are very deep, well drained, fine to medium textured. The soils in district Bharuch, Narmada, Surat and Valsad are mainly very deep followed by shallow depths. Soil depths in Tapi district are mainly shallow followed by very deep and in Dangs district are dominantly distributed in shallow depths. The soil quality was monitored at various locations in the project area. The monitoring has been conducted for 3 seasons viz summer (June 2010), winter (Dec 2010) and monsoon (Aug-2011). As per EIA manual, the soil sample has been collected once in a season. The list of parameters monitored along with Protocols used for analysis is given in Table- 11.6. The list of Sampling Locations for command area is given at Table- 11.7(A) for Summer and Winter seasons; 11.7 (B) for Monsoon season; 11.7 (C) for dams in Monsoon season; 11.7 (D) for canal / catchment area in Monsoon season.

According to Champion and Seth’s revised (1986) classification of forest types, the study area falls in the South Indian Tropical Moist Deciduous forests (Group 3A/C1). The main two categories of the forest types existing in the study area are:
Southern Indian Moist Deciduous Forests and Southern Dry Deciduous Forests
These two broad categories are further divided into eight sub types viz: 3B/C1a Very moist teak forests 3B/C1b Moist teak forests 3B/C1c Slightly moist teak forests 3B/C2 Southern moist mixed deciduous forests 5A/C1b Dry teak forests
872
5A/C3 Dry mixed deciduous forests 5E9 Dry Bamboo brakes 5/1S1 Dry tropical riverine forests
A rapid reconnaissance survey was conducted to understand the
existing ecosystem types and to identify the presence of ecologically sensitive areas in the study area. In intensive survey, status of flora was assessed using circular plot of various sizes for trees, shrubs, herbs and grass species. Ten and one m radius plots were used to quantify trees, shrubs and herbaceous (herb and grass) species respectively. Trees with > 25 cm GBH were considered as matured trees and rest were classified in the recruitment and regeneration classes. Within the plots all the trees and shrubs were identified and enumerated. For grass and herbs species list and cover availability were estimated visually.
During rapid survey, identified the plants from the fresh material; those that could not be satisfactorily identified in the field were brought to the laboratory and identified by checking it with monographs, herbarium specimens and other available literature on regional and State floras. The forests of the study sites belong to the subgroup Southern moist deciduous forest, and within this are more specifically classified as moist teak forests (Champion and Seth, 1968). According to the classification followed by Puri et. al., (1983) these forests are classified as deciduous teak forest types which are intermediate between dry and moist categories. They are named as the Tectona-Terminalia-Adina-Anogeissus series. The forests are known to be the richest in Gujarat and contain many invaluable timber species as well as medicinally important species (presently Dangs occupy about 30% of the forest area of Gujarat and generate 50% of its forest revenue and flora of Dangs is richest in Gujarat) (WWF, 2005). Teak (Tectona grandis) is the most dominant species in study sites and occurs throughout the area. Other dominating tree species are bamboo, shisam (Dalbergia sisoo), khair (Acacia catectu), dhavdo (Anogeissus latifolia) and kadam (Anthocaphalus sp.). The other indigenous tree species available in the forest are Anogeissus sps. (dhav, dhavdo), Bauhinia racemosa (asitro), Butea monosperma (khakharo, kesudo), Terminalia crenulata (sadad), Lannea coromandelica (modad, golado), Boswellia serrata (salai, halar, gugur), Diospyros melanoxylon (timaru, bidi patta), Cassia fistula (garmaro), Syzygium cumini
873
(jamu), Prosopis juliflora (gando bavar), Eucalyptus sp (nilgiri)., Gmelina arborea (shevan), Termenelia arjuna (arjun sadad), Cassia auriculata (avar), Emblica officinalis (amara) etc. (Shah, 1978).
During rapid assessment of ecosystems, the overall study area is categorized into different land uses under the land ownership and different levels of productive potential. However, for the study purpose they have been delineated into five major habitat types according to the nature of vegetation existing in it. 1) Stream Beds; this includes the area on the banks of seasonal rivers, stream and small nallah. 2) Wetland: Since these water bodies (manmade village ponds) are located within the buffer zone of the proposed dams/reservoirs in area, aquatic plants were counted and discussed under wetland habitats (at preliminary level). 3) Agro-ecosystem; it means areas under the agriculture use (irrigated lands, un-irrigated lands, cultivable waste/fallow land) and its surrounding hedge vegetation (locally known as – khetars or wadis) owned by the private people. 4) Open scrub or degraded Forest; mainly small patches of waste lands and Gauchar lands with scrub vegetation and scattered tree species which belongs to revenue or government. 5) Moist deciduous Forest; all the categories of forest lands including species specific as well as composition of dominant tree species belongs to forest department. Visible observation of study area, tree and shrub covers suggest that: The visibility observation during the visit to all project sites, tree and
shrub covers suggest that the maximum diversity in buffer zone beyond 2-5 km radius from the proposed dam sites. The density and diversity of tree and shrub covers decrease away from the proposed sites. The forest
874
lands found to be most suitable habitat for all floral components which was followed by degraded-open lands.
Different types of forests that constitute varied habitats are moist mixed deciduous forest, moist teak forest and very rarely seen bamboo brakes. Bamboo forms thick middle storey in large area with tree cover having moderately dense canopy.
The natural vegetation of the proposed project sites is a three-tiered forest
adapted to the monsoon and dry season climate. The forests typically have an upper canopy at 10–15 meters, 5-10 meter understory of smaller trees and large shrubs, and 3-4 meter undergrowth.
Based on rapid survey in and around the agricultural area and dialogue
with the local farmers a total of more than 20 species have been listed as crop species. The crops list includes 7 grains, 5 fruits and 5 vegetable species. Fruit and vegetable crops were found cultivated along the agricultural hedges in a small extent of area (as visible). In addition 2 cash, 2 timber crop also observed to grow in the area.
11.4.4.2 Status of Fauna
As per the survey conducted on major bird species observed in the study area are Pea fowl, Indian cuckoo, Blue rock pigeon, King fisher, Griffon vulture. As per the secondary data available, the common mammals found in the project area are Leopard, Jungle Cat, Indian Fox, Jackal, Four horned Antelope, Woodpeckers, Barking Deer, Chital, Pangolin, Lizard etc.
11.4.4.3 Status of Fish Fauna
Major fish species reported in the study area are Catlacatla, Labeo frimbriatus, Labeo calabasu, Cirrhinus reba, Puntius sarana, Mystus senghala, M. aor, M. cavasius, Wallago attu, Channa spp, Mastacembalus armatus. Among these only two species of fishes ie Channa spp and Mastacembalus armatus are observed during the survey. None of the fish species appear to have long migration pattern.

11.4.6 Drinking Water Supply Data on sources of water for drinking purpose indicates that the villages fetch water from different sources including hand pumps followed by wells, tanks and rivers. It was further observed that in most of the villages of the study area during summer season, the hand pumps are getting dry for almost 2 to 4 months annually and then the study area population is mainly depending on wells, tanks and rivers as drinking water sources. 11.5 Environmental Impact Assessment
Environmental Impact Assessment is a process of assessment of both positive and negative impacts on the environment due to implementation of the developmental projects. The primary objective of Environmental Impact Assessment is to encourage the inclusion of environmental considerations in planning and decision making and to ultimately arrive at actions that are environmentally more compatible. Based on the project details and the baseline environmental status, potential impacts as a result of the construction and operation of the proposed Par-Tapi-Narmada link project have been identified. The Impact Assessment
879
for quite a few disciplines is subjective in nature and cannot be quantified. Wherever possible, impacts have been quantified and otherwise, qualitative assessment has been undertaken. The impacts on various aspects of Environment have been assessed for construction as well as operation phases of project. 11.5.1 Impacts on Air Environment 11.5.1.1 Impact on Air Quality i) Construction Phase: The air pollution Impact on surroundings shall be mainly during construction phase- a) Pollution Due to Fuel Combustion in Various Equipments: The operation of various construction equipments requires combustion of fuel. Normally, diesel is used in such equipment. The major pollutant which gets emitted as a result of diesel combustion is SO2. The SPM emissions are minimal due to low ash content in diesel. The short-term increase in SO2, even assuming that all the equipment is operating at a common point is quite low ie of the order of less than 1 μg/m3. Hence, no major impact is anticipated on this account. b) Fugitive Emissions from Various Sources: During construction phase, there will be increased vehicular movement and a lot of construction material like sand, fine aggregate is stored at various sites. Normally, due to blowing of winds, especially when the environment is dry, some of the stored material can get entrained in the atmosphere. However, such impacts are visible only in and around the storage sites. The impacts on this account are generally, insignificant in nature. c) Impacts Due to Vehicular Movement: During construction phase, increase in number of vehicles is anticipated for transportation of construction material. The increase in number of vehicles is expected to be a maximum of 35 / hour. As such; no major impact on ambient air quality is anticipated due to increase in vehicular movement during construction phase.
880
ii) Operation Phase: During operation phase, no major impacts are envisaged. 11.5.1.2 Impacts on Noise Environment i) Construction Phase: The impacts on ambient noise levels are expected during the project construction phase only due to earth moving machinery, increased vehicular movement etc. The present noise level was monitored at 9 locations in the project area. No increase in noise level is anticipated as a result of various activities during the project construction phase. There could be marginal impact on the population residing in proximity to the canal alignment during construction phase as a result of various activities. However, based on past experience, in similar project, the impact however, is not expected to be significant.
During construction phase, there will be significant increase in vehicular movement for transportation of construction material. The vehicular movement is expected to increase upto a maximum of 45 to 50 trucks / hour. The impact on noise level due to increased vehicular movement was studied Federal Highway Administration model. No significant impact other than the above on this account is anticipated. ii) Operation Phase: Noise pollution occurs mainly during project construction phase. During project operation phase, no major impacts are envisaged. 11.5.2 Impacts on Water Resources and Quality
i) Construction Phase a) Impacts Due to Sewage Generation from Labour Camps: The major sources of water pollution during project construction phase are the sewage generated from the labour camps / colonies. The project construction is likely to last for a period of 7 years. About 5000 workers and 800 technical staff are likely to migrate during project construction phase. The employment opportunities in the area are limited. Thus, during
881
the project construction phase, many of the locals may get employment. It has been observed during construction phase of many of the projects, the major works are contracted out, and who bring their own skilled labour. However, it is only in the unskilled category, that locals get employment. The construction phase also leads to mushrooming of various allied activities to meet the demands of the immigrant labour population in the project area. The increase in the population is expected to be of the order of 14000. The total domestic water requirement of the labour population (including families) is expected to be of the order of 0.98 mld @ 70 lpcd. It is assumed that about 80% of the water supplied will be generated as sewage. Thus, the total quantum of sewage generated is expected to be of the order of 0.8 mld. The total BOD load contributed by various labour camps/colonies will be about 630 kg/day. The above pollution loading is likely to be spread over 3 to 4 labour camps. The disposal of sewage without treatment could lead to adverse impacts on land environment or water environment in which the effluent from the labour camps / colonies are disposed.
Disposal of Sewage Water is an essential part of the EMP. One community toilet needs to be provided for 20 persons. The wastewater generated from the colonies will be collected and disposed in specifically designed Soak pits and Septic tanks. The wastewater and sewage generated will not be allowed to flow into the rivers and streams of the area. The sanitary facilities at the colonies should be of standard municipal design for hill areas. However, efforts shall be made to ensure, that treated effluent is disposed only in these water bodies, which are not used for meeting domestic water requirements.
882
b) Impacts Due to Runoff from Construction Sites: Substantial quantities of water would be used in the construction activities. With regards to water quality, waste water from construction activities would mostly contain suspended impurities. Adequate care should be taken so that excess suspended solids in the waste water are removed before these are disposed into water body or over land. Similarly, effluents due to washing from truck parking area, workshop, etc. would have high concentration of oil and grease. The effluent quality is too small to cause any adverse impact. However, it is still recommended to treat the effluent from these units / areas by oil and separator unit, to ameliorate even the marginal adverse impacts likely to accrue on this account. ii) Operation Phase a) Impacts on Downstream Users: A total quantity of 1330 MCM is proposed for diversion from 6 reservoirs in Par, Auranga, Ambica and Purna river basins against the net yield in an average year for 6 reservoirs 1425 MCM. It is planned to utilise the water proposed to be transferred, for various command areas in the vicinity of the project, viz., in the en-route command, command area of five projects proposed by Government of Gujarat, command area in the vicinity of of reservoirs, en-route command right side of canal by lift, Command area in Chhota Udepur and Panchmahal districts, drinking water supply and filling of tanks, and Target command to the tune of about 382 MCM, 285MCM, 48 MCM, 138 MCM , 130 MCM, 76 MCM, 50 MCMand 161 MCM respectively. Thus, the quantity of water saved in Sardar Sarovar project to the tune of 291 MCM
will be available for irrigation in target command i.e. in drought prone area of Saurashtra and Kutch regions.
The diversion of water for meeting irrigation and other requirements could lead to following impacts:
Modification of hydrologic regime Impacts on downstream water quality due to diversion of water from
various dams Impacts due to change in waste assimilation capacity of the river
883
system including downstream of dam Impacts on downstream water users for various dams Impacts on drainage system due to canal network Impacts due to siltation Impacts on performance of existing projects due to diversion of water
for irrigation
The reservoir formation on account of construction of 6 dams could lead to impacts on present and future ground water and surface water use in the upstream and the impacts on water availability of the project. The impacts envisaged are:
Impacts on existing water bodies upstream of dams in the project area:
No water body / tank / pond / lake are likely to submerge due to the submergence of the proposed six reservoirs. Hence, no impacts on existing water bodies upstream of dam are envisaged.
b) Impacts on Water Logging and Soil Salinity: The main cause of water logging in a command area due to irrigation could be as follows:
Developmental activities such as construction of roads, bridges, railway lines, buildings etc. resulting in choking of natural drainage.
Poor natural drainage as consequences of topography or unfavourable sub-soil geology like existence of hard pan at shallow depths.
Heavy storm and rainfall coupled with poor natural drainage. Heavy losses of water due to seepage from canals, distributaries and
water courses. Excess application of water particularly in the initial years when the
command is not fully developed. Poor on-farm water management resulting in poor application
efficiencies. Inadequate drainage and poor maintenance of existing drainage
system and outlets. Lack of conjunctive use of surface and ground waters.
884
The imbalance of air and water in root zone leads to adverse impacts on crop growth and are listed as under:
Depletion of oxygen in the root zone and increase/saturation of
carbon dioxide due to water logging. This anaerobic condition has an adverse effect on the growth of useful micro-organisms and harmful organisms proliferate and create several problems in the plant growth.
Physio-chemical and biological activities in the soil and disturbed on account of low temperature which is the result of water logging conditions. This also creates the problem of increase in pests and diseases.
Field operations also become either impossible or difficult in such soils.
c) Changes in Water Quality due to Increased Use of Fertilizers: The fertilizer dose is likely to increase once irrigation is introduced in the command area. Under the best farming practices, only 40 - 50% of the applied fertilizers is used by the crop and the balance finds its way into the aquatic environment through drainage runoff. An unexpected intense shower immediately after the spread of fertilizers may bring even greater amount of nutrients as a part of the runoff into the receiving water body.
To compensate the nutrient removal by crops, additional dose of nutrients, ie fertilizers dosing needs to be given. Wash down of fertilizers and organic matter rich in nutrients from the surrounding agricultural fields cause eutrophication of water bodies. Overgrowth of aquatic weeds affects the survival of aquatic organisms through depletion of oxygen, change in odour and taste of water. With the introduction of irrigation, use of fertilizers is likely to increase, to maintain the increased levels of production. The drainage system (natural or man-made) is likely to contain much higher level of nutrients. The climatic conditions in the project area too are suitable for the proliferation of eutrophication in the project area. Thus, in the project operation phase, there will be increased probability of eutrophication in the water bodies receiving agricultural runoff. d) Impacts due to Effluent from Project Colony: During project operation phase, due to absence of any large scale construction activities, the
885
cause and source of water pollution will be much different. Since, only a small number of OandM staff will reside in the area in a well designed colony which will have a Sewage Treatment Plant and other infrastructure facilities, the problems of water pollution due to disposal of sewage are not anticipated. e) Recharge of Ground Water: Par-Tapi-Narmada link project envisages creation of Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs and link canal. Due to these reservoirs and link canal, recharge of ground water in the area of downstream of dams and en-route link canal will take place. This will be a positive impact of the project. 11.5.3 Impacts on Land Environment i) Construction Phase: The construction of the proposed Par-Tapi-Narmada link project is expected to be completed in about 7 years. Majority of the environmental impact during construction phase are temporarily in nature, lasting mainly during the construction phase and for small duration beyond the construction period. The major impacts anticipated on land environment during construction phase are as follows: Environmental degradation due to immigration of labour population Operation of construction equipment Soil erosion Impacts due to construction of roads a) Environmental Degradation due to Immigration of Labour Population: The peak labour and technical staff congregation would be of the order of 5000 and 800 respectively. The population of construction labour, technical and other work force for construction and related activities and service providers including their families is expected to be 14000. Separate accommodation and related facilities for workers, service providers and technical staff are to be provided as a part of the project. Congregation of labour force is likely to create problems of sewage disposal, solid waste management and falling of trees for meeting fuel requirements etc.
886
b) Operation of Construction Equipment: During construction phase, various types of equipment will be brought to the site. These include batching plant, earth movers, etc. The sitting and storage of these construction equipments would require significant amount of space. The site for storage of construction material and equipment will be selected such that it causes minimum adverse impacts on various aspects of environment. Efforts shall be made that such facilities are located on government or panchayat land only, so that hardships caused as a result of land acquisition, though temporarily on this account are minimized to the extent possible. c) Soil Erosion: Due to various construction activities such as construction of colonies / houses / toilet blocks etc. Soil erosion in the project area is bound to increase. During construction activities, the share of the forest cover will be adversely affected which in turn will cause loosening of the soil particles, thus increasing the rate of soil erosion and hence degradation of land environment. Substitute Plantation will mitigate the adverse affect of soil erosion. Impacts due to Construction of Roads: Roads are the only main mode of communication in the area. Waghai- Saputara National Highway (NH-360) passes in the submergence area of Chikkar dam. In addition, there is a wide network of Major roads, village roads and cart tracks. The status of village roads and cart tracks will have to be improved and new approach roads to quarries, labour colony, stores and construction sites will have to be constructed. Frequent movement of heavy vehicle loaded with construction material will cause air pollution in terms of SPM, noise and gases. To mitigate the pollution effects, preventive measures such as sprinkling of water, plantation of trees etc. have to be taken in right earnest. ii) Operation Phase: a) Acquisition of Land: The proposed project envisages construction of 6 reservoirs, 2 barrages, link channels and canal network. About 6065 ha of land will be acquired for proposed Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs. Details are given at Table- 11.14:

11.5.4 Impact on Biological Environment 11.5.4.1 Terrestrial Environment 11.5.4.1.1 Impacts on Forest Cover i) Construction Phase: During project construction phase, labour population is likely to congregate near various construction sites. The workers and other population groups residing in the area may use fuel wood (if no alternate fuel is provided). To minimize impacts, community kitchens will be provided. These community kitchens shall use Liquefied Petroleum Gas or kerosene as fuel. ii) Operation Phase: Total forest land to be acquired in the reservoir submergence of 6 dams viz Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan is 2829 ha. Details are given at Table- 11.16(A).

As per the findings of the study, rare, endangered and threatened
species are not reported in the study area. The impacts due to acquisition of forest land shall be mitigated through compensatory afforestation measures and implementation of a detailed set of bio-diversity conservation measures outlined in the Environmental Management Plan. 11.5.4.2 Impacts on Wildlife i) Construction Phase: The area to be brought under irrigation within the command area is devoid of forests. The project area is interspersed with settlements and agricultural land. In such settings large scale faunal population is not observed. Thus, no significant impact on wildlife is anticipated due to the project.
Purna and Vansda Wildlife Sanctuaries are falling within the study area. The project shall not be acquired any land from these sanctuaries. However, adverse impacts on account of increased human interferences will take place during project construction phase. A detailed anti-poaching plan including surveillance measures outlined in Environmental Management Plan. ii) Operation Phase: The following impacts on account of forest land acquisition and canal alignment shall be studied:
a) Impact due to habitat change having effect like corridor loss and loss of migratory path for wildlife including birds.
b) Impact on breeding grounds of species. c) Impacts on access of animals to food and shelter. d) Impacts on rare, endangered, threatened and endemic species.
11.5.4.3 Impacts on Aquatic Ecology i) Construction Phase a) Impact Due to Excavation of Construction Material from River Bed: During the construction phase a large quantity of construction material
890
like stones, pebbles, gravel and sand would be extracted from the Borrow areas in the river bed. The extraction of construction material may affect the river water quality due to increase in the turbidity levels. This is mainly because the dredged material gets released during one or all the operations mentioned below: Excavation of material from the river bed. Loss of material during transport to the surface. Overflow from the dredger while loading. Loss of material from the dredger during transportation.
The dredging and deposition of dredged material may affect the
survival and propagation of benthic organisms. The macro-benthic life which remains attached to the stones, boulders etc. gets dislodged and is carried away downstream by turbulent flow. The areas from where construction material is excavated, benthic fauna get destroyed. In due course of time, however, the area gets re-colonized, with fresh benthic fauna. The density and diversity of benthic fauna, will however, be less as compared with the pre-dredging levels.
The second important impact is on the spawning areas of fishes. The spawning areas of various fish species are found amongst pebbles, gravel, sand etc. The eggs are sticky in nature and remain embedded in the gravel and subsequently hatch. Any disturbance of stream bottom will result in adverse impacts on fish eggs.
Thus, if adequate precautions during dredging operations are not
undertaken, then significant adverse impacts on aquatic ecology are anticipated.
ii) Operation Phase a) Impacts Due to Damming of River: The damming of river due to construction of various dams will result in creation of reservoir of varied areas. The dam will change the fast flowing river to a quiescent lacustrine environment. The creation of a pond will bring about a number of alterations in physical, abiotic and biotic parameters both in upstream and
891
downstream directions of the proposed dam site. The micro and macro benthic biota is likely to be most severely affected as a result of the proposed project. b) Impacts on Migratory Fish Species: The obstruction created by the dam would hinder migration of various migratory species. These fishes undertake annual migration for feeding and breeding. Therefore, fish migration path may be obstructed due to the dams and fishes are expected to congregate below the dam wall. Under this situation poaching activities may increase in the area. Most of the species will shift to the section of the river where they find favourable environment for breeding. However, it is proposed that the artificial seed production in hatchery may be adopted which can be stocked in the river stretches downstream and upstream of the proposed dams. 11.5.4.4 Impacts on Socio-Economic Environment i) Construction Phase a) Impact of Influx or Migration of Labour: The construction phase will last for about 7 years. The peak labour force and technical staff required is estimated at about 5800. The total number of persons inhabiting the area including the service population will be about 14000. The project will open a large number of jobs to the local population. Job opportunities drastically improve in this area. The availability of infrastructure is generally a problem during the initial construction phase. Though the construction workers can be subsidized for certain facilities like health, education etc. The facilities of desired quality are often not made available in the initial stages. The adequacy of water supply, sewage treatment, housing, etc should therefore, be ensured before and adequate measures would be taken at the very start of the project. e) Impacts on Public Health due to Water Borne Diseases: Construction Phase- The construction phase of the project could lead to increase incident of various water borne and vector borne diseases if adequate precautions / control measures are not under taken. The health
892
risk specific to water resources projects emanate from congregation of labour at various construction sites. During construction phase, new groups come and go constantly keeping the human population in a flux. These groups are usually housed temporary dwelling without proper sanitary conditions and water supply. In the final stages, colonies for project maintenance, town ships are built. Population migration indicated by actual or possible opportunity for work can aggregate problems as a result of housing difficulties, overcrowding, raise in cost of living and some un-predicted social problems as well introduction of new sources of diseases or immigrants immunologically susceptible to the endemic diseases prevalent in the areas of development.
Many of the immigrant population could be reservoir of infection for various communicable diseases. Once they settle in labour camps / colonies, there could be increased incidence of various diseases. This aspect needs to be looked into with caution, and efforts must be made to ensure that a thorough check up of the labour population congregating in the area is conducted. Those affected by any ailments need to be properly quarantined depending on the ailment with which they are suffering. Operation Phase- Improvement in availability of water for various uses, increased agricultural production, availability of diversified food, strengthening of educational and health facilities significantly improves public health in project area. On the other hand, water resources development also has negative impacts, since it could increase the habitat of certain vectors like mosquitoes. Malaria is a common vector borne disease in the project area. The project may create favourable conditions for breeding of new pathogens or vectors such as mosquitoes, etc. Most of the water borne diseases can largely be prevented by adequate hygiene. With the increased water availability, quality of water being supplied is expected to improve and the incidence of water borne diseases will reduce. However, adequate measures in the form of strict public health measures are proposed.
893
11.5.5 Impacts on Micro Climate
The increase in surface area of water, irrigation and vegetation cover in the project area may on a local level moderate the temperature, ie lead to reduction in the number of days of high temperature, if not in the maximum temperature itself. The higher humidity as a result of higher evapotranspiration is likely to raise the minimum temperature and increased occurrence of fogs during the cooler months. The increased humidity level may also increase the instances of fog due to increased moisture content in the atmosphere. At the current level of knowledge a qualitative assessment on the above item is not possible. 11.5.6 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The major Green House Gases (GHGs) are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). These gases are emitted from both natural aquatic (lakes, rivers, estuaries, wetlands) and terrestrial ecosystems (forest, soils) as well as from anthropogenic sources. CO2 emissions account for the largest share of GHGs equivalent of ±80-85% of the emissions. Fossil fuel combustion for transportation and electricity generation are main source of CO2 contributing to more than 50% of the emissions. Thermal power plants represent 66% of the world's electric generation capacity. Hydropower represents about 20% of the world's electricity generation capacity and emits 35 to 70 times less GHGs per TWh than thermal power plants.
In last few years GHG emissions from freshwater reservoirs and their contribution to the increase of GHGs in the atmosphere are also being considered as a source of greenhouse gas emissions. In the case of reservoirs, it is known that the amount of GHGs emitted at the air water interface varies over time. In fact, there is an initial peak which occurs immediately after impoundment. The increase of GHG emissions in reservoirs shortly after flooding is related to the release of nutrients, enhanced bacterial activity and decomposition of liable carbon. Magnitude of emissions for both reservoirs and natural aquatic systems depend on physico-chemical characteristics of the water body and on the incoming carbon from the watershed.
894
The issue of reservoir emissions has been recognized at the
international level by the Clean Development Mechanism Executive Board (UNFCCC, 2006b) as well as the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change-2006. Beyond such preliminary developments, progress in the policy remains at a very early stage and is generally held back by a number of scientific uncertainties.
Based on available literature, greenhouse details of gas emissions from reservoirs in India are given at Table- 11.17:

11.6 Environmental Management Plan 11.6.1 Pollution Control at Construction Sites 11.6.1.1 Air Pollution Control Control of Emissions: Minor air quality impacts will be caused by emissions from construction vehicles, equipment and DG sets, and emissions from transportation traffic. Frequent truck trips will be required during the construction period for removal of excavated material and delivery of construction equipment and material.
895
The following measures are recommended to control air pollution:
The contractor will be responsible for maintaining properly functioning construction equipment to minimize exhaust.
Construction equipment and vehicles will be turned off when not used for extended periods of time.
Unnecessary idling of construction vehicles to be prohibited. Effective traffic management to be undertaken to avoid significant
delays in and around the project area. Road damage caused by sub-project activities will be promptly
attended to with proper road repair and maintenance work. Air Pollution Control due to DG Sets: The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has issued emission limits for generators upto 800 KW. Details are given at Table- 11.18:
Table- 11.18
Emission Limits for DG Sets Prescribed by CPCB Parameter Emission Limits (gm/kwhr)
NOx 9.2 HC 1.3 CO 2.5 PM 0.3
Smoke limit* 0.7 Note: *Light absorption co-efficient at full load (M
-1)
The above standards needed to follow by the contractor while
operating the DG sets. The other measures are recommended as below:
Location of DG sets and other emission generating equipment should be decided keeping in view the predominant wind direction so that emissions do not effect nearby residential areas.
Stack height of DG sets to be kept in accordance with CPCB norms, which prescribes the minimum height of stack to be provided with each generator set to be calculated using the following formula:
H = h+0.2 x √ KVA
896
H = Total height of stack in meter h = Height of the building in meters where the generator set is installed KVA = Total generator capacity of the set in KVA Dust Control: The authorities will work closely with representatives from the community living in the vicinity of project area to identify areas of concern and to mitigate dust-related impacts effectively (eg through direct meeting, utilization of construction management and inspection program, and / or through the complaint response program).
Identification of constructions limits (minimal area required for construction activities).
When practical, excavated spoils will be removed as the contractor proceeds along the length of the activity.
When necessary, stockpiling of excavated material will be covered or staged offsite location with muck being delivered as needed during the course of construction.
Excessive soil on paved areas will be sprayed (wet) and / or swept and unpaved areas will be sprayed and / or mulched. The use of petroleum products or similar products for such activities will be strictly prohibited.
Contractors will be required to cover stockpiled soils and trucks hauling soil, sand and other loose materials (or required truck to maintain at least two feet of freeboard).
Contractor shall ensure that there is effective traffic management at site. The number of trucks / vehicles to move at various construction sites to be fixed.
Dust sweeping – The construction area and vicinity (access roads, and working areas) shall be swept with water sweepers on a daily basis or as necessary to ensure there is no visible dust.
Budget: An amount of Rs. 159.38 lakh is earmarked for air pollution control. Details are given at Table- 11.19:
897

Total 159.38 11.6.1.2 Noise Control Measures i) Noise Generation from Construction Equipments: The construction equipments, vehicles, DG sets etc shall be properly maintained and occupational safety and health standards shall be complied. The construction equipment will be required to use available noise suppression devices and properly maintained mufflers.
Vehicles to be equipped with mufflers recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
Staging of construction equipment and unnecessary idling of equipment within noise sensitive areas to be avoided whenever possible.
Notification will be given to residents within 100 m of major noise generating activities. The notification will describe the noise abatement measures that will be implemented.
Monitoring of noise levels will be conducted during the construction phase of the project.
A proper routine and preventive maintenance procedure for the DG set should be set and followed in consultation with the manufacturer which would help prevent noise levels from deteriorating with use.
ii) Noise Generation from Controlled Blasting Operations
Controlled blasting will be done as per the provisions of Indian Explosives Act.
Blasting will not be undertaken in night hours.
898
Workers at blasting sites will be provided with proper earplugs and helmets.
Explosives used for controlled blasting will be kept in safest custody under lock and key as per the provisions of Indian Explosives Act
iii) Noise Due to Crusher: The exposure of labour operating with crushers shall be restricted upto 30 minutes on a daily basis. Alternatively, the workers need to be provided with ear muffs or plugs, so as to attenuate the noise level near the crusher by at least 15 dB(A). The exposure to noise level in such a scenario to be limited upto 4 hours per day. 11.6.2 Water Pollution
Sewage generated from various labour camps during project construction phase shall be treated in a sewage treatment plant prior to disposal. Efforts shall be made to discharge the treated effluent only in these water bodies, which are not used for meeting domestic water requirements.
The effluent generated from the crushers will have high-suspended solids and needs to be treated before disposal. Settling tanks of appropriate size for treatment of effluent from various crushers should be provided. The sludge from the various settling tanks can be collected once in 15 days and disposed at the site designed for disposal of municipal solid wastes from the labour camps. The sludge after drying could also be used as cover material for landfill disposal site. An amount of Rs. 60 lakh needs to be earmarked for construction of various settling tanks.
11.6.3 Land Management Plan 11.6.3.1 Disposal of Muck and Reclamation of Muck Disposal Sites
The Par-Tapi-Narmada link project envisages construction of 6 dams, 2 barrages, 6 power houses, 1 tunnel of 12.70 km long and 406.118 km long link canal system including 5 Nos. of tunnels along the canal alignment of total length of 1.15 km and large number of CD/CM structures. A large quantity of muck is expected to be generated as a result of tunnelling operations and excavations for foundation of these dams barrages
899
and canal. Based on the geological nature of the rocks and engineering properties of the soil, a part of the muck can be used as construction material and balance muck requires being suitably disposed in muck disposal sites in the project area. The muck disposal sites are planned along the river course and in low level areas or depressions. The dumping of muck will be done in the scientific manner by providing appropriate protection walls with deep foundations so that muck will not flow and washed away in the river. Protection structures in the form of masonry work, crate work and check dam will also be provided wherever necessary in order to avoid the chances of soil erosion and to ensure flow of silt free water. Besides these engineering measures, proper plantation will be done at the dumping sites for reclamation of the dumping areas.
Muck generally lacks nutrients and therefore, is difficult to re-
vegetate. However, if no attempts to vegetate the slopes are made, the muck could slide lower down during rain and may eventually wash off the check dams also. Bio-fertilizer technique developed by National Environmental Engineering Research Institute can be adopted in the proposed project. Unused excavated material will be piled and stacked with proper slopes at the designated muck disposal sites. The slopes are broken up by creating benches across them. This is done to provide stability to the slopes and also to provide ample space for planting of trees that would further help in holding and consolidating biotechnological approach. The afforestation with suitable plant species shall be done in consultation with the forest Departments of Gujarat and Maharashtra. A provision of Rs. 870 lakh has been kept towards restoration of muck disposal sites near dam sites and a provision of Rs.2391.67 lakh along the link canal. 11.6.3.2 Restoration Plan for Quarry Sites
The proposed Par-Tapi-Narmada link project would involve construction of dams, barrages, canal, tunnels / adits, power houses, colonies for staff and labourers, and other various components. During construction, these activities could also result in accumulation of large amount of unused material at various sites which require proper restoration measures. This land also includes areas likely to be disturbed due to quarries and dumping of unused muck, dam area. The existing landscape will be
900
totally modified or changed due to proposed project. Therefore, all areas disturbed by construction activity will be landscaped to reflect natural contours and encourage the re-establishment of vegetation. Disturbed Sites and their Restoration: Construction activities like roads, quarry sites, project colonies, workshops, offices etc. will change the existing land use / land cover in the region. After completion of the construction work, it is required to restore the disturbed areas to its original condition wherever it is possible. Various engineering and biological measures have been suggested for the restoration of these areas. Proposed mitigation measures will also help to arrest soil erosion in the region. Quarrying Operation: A project of this magnitude would require significant amount of construction material. The aggregate requirement for concrete is proposed to be met from nearby quarries. The proposed project would require significant amount of fine material, which shall be met by crushing the aggregates.
The quarrying operations are semi-mechanised in nature. Quarrying is normally done by cutting a face of the hill. A permanent scar is likely to be left, once quarrying activities are over. With the passage of time, the rock from the exposed face of the quarry under the action of wind and other erosion forces, get slowly weathered and after some time, they become a potential sources of landslide. Thus it is necessary to implement appropriate slope stabilisation measures to prevent the possibility of soil erosion and landslides in the quarry sites.
After excavation of the required material, these quarry sites will require restoration. Appropriate engineering, bio-engineering and biological methods are proposed for effective restoration of the quarry sites. Engineering and Bio-Engineering Measures: Opening of the quarries will cause visual impacts because they remove a significant part of the hills. Other impacts will be the noise generated during aggregate acquisition through explosive and crushing, which could affect wildlife in the area, dust produced during the crushing operation to get the aggregates to the appropriate size and transport of the aggregates and transport of material to
901
the nearby project sites. The quarrying for rock material in the proposed project would lead to removal of vegetation cover, top soil and leave the area barren. After the completion of mining activity, these areas will be restored to their normal habitat conditions.
Standard mitigation measures against erosion and sedimentation, noise and air pollution will be taken in particular for the use of explosive. At the end of the exploitation, quarries will be rehabilitated. This will include re-establishment of vegetation, restoration of natural watercourses, avoidance of flooding of the excavated areas, achievement of stable slopes, and avoidance of features, which would otherwise constitute a risk to health and safety or a source of environmental pollution. The measures adopted for landscaping of these quarry sites and borrow area have been described in the following paragraphs. Measures to be Adopted before Quarrying: The top soil (top 6 – 12 inch soil) should be removed before excavating the sand or rocks from the quarry sites. This soil contains all microbes (including earthworms) and important nutrients and organic matters which will be required at the time of restoration of these quarry sites. Measures to be adopted after Quarrying:
Diversion of Run-off- Effective drainage system will be provided to avoid the infiltration of run-off and surface waters into the ground of quarry sites.
Filling of Depressions- The craters formed at the quarry sites will be filled with dumping materials consisting of boulders, rocks, gravels and soil from the nearby sites. After filling these craters, the top soil collected prior to quarrying will be spread as top layer. The top soil then should be covered with geo-textiles like coir, jute or by other locally available bio-degradable material. This will protect the top soil from erosion.
902
Construction of Retaining Walls- Retaining walls will be constructed at the filled up depressions of quarry sites to provide necessary support particular where there are moderately slopes.
Rocks for Landscaping- After the quarrying activities are over, these
sites will be splattered with the leftovers of rocks and boulders. These boulders and rocks can support the growth of mosses and lichens, which will act as ecological pioneers and initiate the process of succession and colonization. The boulders of moderate size will be used to line the boundary of a path.
Laying of the Top Soil- The depressions / craters filled up with rock aggregates will be covered with top soils. Fungal spores naturally present in top soil will aid plant growth and natural plant succession. The top soil will be further enriched by organic manure and Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi. This will help in the process of soil reclamation and the early establishment of juvenile seedlings.
Re-vegetation- The work plan for re-vegetation of the dumping sites through ‘Integrated Biological and Biotechnological Approach’ would be based upon the following parameters: i) Evaluation of rock material for their physical and chemical
properties to assess the nutrient status to support vegetation. ii) Formulation of appropriate blends of organic waste and soil to
enhance the nutrient status of rhizosphere. iii) Isolation and screening of specialized strains of mycorrhizal
fungi, rhizobium, azotobacter and phosphate solubilizers (bio-fertilizers inoculums) suitable for the mined out sites.
iv) Mass culture flant specific biofertilizer and mycorrihizal fungi to be procured from different institutions / organizations which are engaged in the phyto-remediation activity of degraded areas.
v) Plantation at quarry sites / areas using identified blend and biofertilizer inoculums.

11.6.3.3 Restoration of Colony and Office Complex
The working area of dam site, Labour colony, Project colony areas have been selected for beautification of the project area after construction is over. The reservoir created due to the construction of dam may be a local point of tourist attraction. This could be used for sport fishing, so there is a need to construct benches for sitting, development of resting sheds and footpath. The beautification would be carried out by developing flowering beds for plantation of ornamental plant and flower garden.
There would be sufficient open space in power house complex and colony area. Forested area in the power house complex would provide aesthetic view and add to natural seismic beauty. The beautification in the colony area would be carried out by development of flowering beds for plantation of ornamental plant, creepers, flower garden and a small park, construction of benches for sitting, resting sheds, walk way and fountain.
A provision of Rs. 102 lakh has been earmarked for landscaping and beautification of the area.
904
Implementing Agency: It should be mandatory in the scope of work
of the contractor to restore the construction sites and implement various reclamation measures.
Budget: A total provision of (736 + 102) Rs. 838 lakh has been earmarked for Restoration of quarry and borrow area, reclamation of construction sites landscaping and beautification.
A provision of Rs.42 lakh has been earmarked towards landscaping along the link canal.

As already described in preceding paras total 4439.40 ha (2829 ha due to submergence of 6 reservoirs and 1610.40 ha due to canal alignment) forest area will be affected. No rare, endangered and threatened species are reported in the project area. To compensate the forest land the afforestation will be done in 8878.80 ha (double the area of forest land likely to be affected ie due to reservoirs 5658 ha and for canal alignment 3220.80 ha) in degraded forest land as per the provisions of Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980. The afforestation work is to be done by the Forest Department of concerned State Governments. A provision of Rs. 11459.76 lakh (Rs. 6789.60 lakh towards reservoirs plus Rs.4670.16 towards canal alignment) has been kept for compensatory afforestation. In addition the NPV and cost of trees will be paid to the Forest Department, which shall be estimated by the Forest Department, as a part of Forestry clearance.
11.6.4.2 Biodiversity Management Plan i) Forest Protection Plan: About 4439.40 ha (2829 ha due to submergence of 6 reservoirs and 1610.40 ha due to canal alignment) of forest area is proposed to be acquired for Par-Tapi-Narmada link project. The following measures are proposed as a part of Forest Protection Plan:
Under the reward for informers programme, it is proposed to engage the workers who are well acquainted with the area and will be resourceful in gathering information for anti-poaching and better vigilance. These youth could be hired on a contractual basis.
905
Arrangement of an office for this purpose would be essential to monitor all these activities. Organizing public awareness programmes, conducting training
camps, preparation of pamphlets, brochures, hoardings etc. Provision of fire lines within critical areas to protect the forest from
accidental fires. For improvement of vigilance and measures to check poaching, check
posts and watch towers will be needed. In order to strengthen the working capacity of the officers the equipments such as a camera, wireless, binoculars and other minor equipments (spot scope, search lights, sleeping bags, health kits etc) shall be provided.
Construction of bridges, roads, inspection paths for more effective and meaningful patrolling of the staff shall be undertaken.
Improvement of vigilance by procurement of field vehicles and motorbikes.
Creation of veterinary facilities and rescue camps for healthcare of wild animals and for controlling diseases. For this purpose it is essential to maintain a stock of medicines in addition to setting up of a mobile-rescue-cum-publicity-van.
An amount of Rs.1200 lakh has been earmarked for implementation of Forest Protection Plan. Details are given at Table- 11.21:

ii) Safeguards during Construction Phase: During the construction phase, various adverse impacts on the forests and wildlife are anticipated in the surrounding areas of the proposed project in terms of increased noise levels, land vibrations during controlled blasting, air pollution etc. To avoid and minimize the negative impacts from these activities project authorities are
906
advised to prepare strict guidelines as follows:
Strict restrictions shall be imposed on the workers at project sites to ensure that they do not harvest any species / produce from the forests and cause any danger or harm to animals and birds in wilderness area.
The fuel wood to the labourers shall be provided by the project proponents so that there is no pressure for cutting of trees to meet fuel wood requirements.
The interference of human population would be kept to a minimum in the adjacent forest areas and it would be ensured that the contractors do not set up labour colonies / camps in the vicinity of forests and wilderness areas.
Only well maintained / new equipment that produces lesser noise would be installed at the work sites.
The best way to control the noise is at source. Certain equipment that needs to be placed permanently at one place like generators etc would be housed in enclosed structures to cut off the noise.
The heavy equipment like rotating or impacting machines will be mounted on anti-vibration mountings.
Wherever combustion engines are required they will be fitted with silencers.
The traffic (trucks etc) used by the project works will be managed to produce a smooth flow instead of a noise producing stop and start flow. Necessary training / orientation will be provided to the traffic operators / drivers. Sounding of loud horns etc in the forested areas should be banned. Project authorities will use water sprinklers on the road to avoid the dust from constructions activities.
While clearing the land of vegetation for any project work, the project authorities will ensure that the work area has sufficient layer of tree cover around it. It will act as an effective noise absorber and dust barrier. The tree layer will act as buffer zone and these are known to cut off noise by about 5 – 20 dB at a site depending upon the density of vegetation. These measures will be planned in advance and well before starting operation at any site.
iii) Measures to Improve Habitat of Avi-fauna: Forests are vital for survival, foraging, breeding and nesting of avifauna. Natural forests provide
907
a variety of food material to birds not only in the form of nectar of flowers, fruits, seeds etc. in the trees, shrubs, herbs and grasses but they also contain a large number of insects eaten by birds. In the forests, food is always available for the faunal component. Although most floral species flower during spring through summer but fruit maturation and seed ripening takes place in them throughout the year. Therefore, first strategy of improvement of habitat for birds is avoiding nest predation or brood parasitism through maintenance of large contiguous forest tract. These areas have ability to support the largest number of forest interior birds and will also be more likely to provide habitat for area sensitive species. It is more practicable to protect existing forest area rather than creating new forest area.
Another measure for habitat improvement for avifauna is to be installation of artificial nest boxes in the influence zone and catchment area of the project after consultation with the forest department as well as local Non-Governmental Organisations. These nest boxes have been found to be quite beneficial for attracting hole nester birds. The size and capacity of boxes vary from one species to another.
It is proposed to provide wooden boxes around water bodies in the study area. About 200 nest boxes are proposed to be kept along the periphery of six reservoirs. It is proposed that five qualified person be hired for a period of 7 years. An amount of Rs. 171.84 lakh can be earmarked for habitat improvement of avi-fauna in the study area. Details are given at Table-11.22:

v) Anti-poaching Measures: There are no ecologically sensitive areas around the project sites. However, the forests at the site and in the vicinity serve as a habitat for wildlife. Due to construction activities and increased human interferences, as a result of immigration of large labour population and their family members, some adverse impacts may take place on wildlife during construction phase; the increased human interferences can have adverse impact on wildlife in and around the project area
It is recommended that check posts should be installed near major construction sites and labour camps which shall be operational during construction phase. It is proposed to develop 10 (ten) check posts to implement anti-poaching measures during project construction phase. Each check post shall have 3 guards to ensure that poaching does not take place in the area. The guards will be supervised by a range officer. It is also
909
recommended that the staff manning these check posts have adequate communication equipment and other facilities. Apart from inter-linking of check posts, communication link needs to be extended to Divisional Forest Office and the local police station also. vi) Purchase of Anti-poaching Kits: To capture and translocate wild animals out of human habitations or agricultural lands, various trapping equipments pertaining to anti-poaching activities are needed. In the absence of these the staff faces difficulties and all efforts made on this behalf are futile. For this an amount of Rs.60 lakh has been earmarked. The anti-poaching kits will include equipments for self defence of the staff as well. vii) Infrastructure Development: This includes anti-poaching huts, rock shelters development and residential quarters for forest guards. For effective monitoring, one watch tower is also proposed to be established at an identified place having high pressure of biotic interference. These are the basic amenities for the field staff to enable them to do effective patrolling in the areas. For watch tower and accommodation an amount of Rs.100 lakh has been earmarked. viii) Purchase of Survey Equipment and Vehicle: In order to improve network and vigilance it is required to procure equipment like V-SAT and to document and develop a database IT infrastructure like laptops, LCD projectors, altimeters, GPS, spot scope, binoculars, video as well as digital still cameras are essential. Purchase of field vehicle will help in increased vigilance. For better communication and purchase of survey equipment an amount of Rs.200 lakh has been earmarked. ix) Construction of Check Posts: To improve vigilance for anti-poaching, better protection, enforcement for control grazing practices is necessary. For the construction of control-grazing-cum-anti poaching checks posts, amount of Rs.50 lakh has been earmarked. Total Rs. 706 lakh has been earmarked for this purpose. Details are given below:

Total Rs.706.09 lakh Say Rs. 706 lakh
x) Eco-Tourism: The reservoirs will have great tourism potential and it can create many income generating resources to the local people in many ways viz; boating, angling competition, guide, creation of the paying guest houses, travellers’ tour packages to the nearby sightseeing places, development of camping sites, birds watching etc. This shall be linked with the ecology environment of the reservoir. For tourism development, brochures, pamphlets, signage, models, opening of the tourism information centres, Telescopes, Binoculars, computerized data, trekking routes and their stay arrangements etc shall be required.
The following activities are proposed for the development of the eco-tourism zone:
Create interest for birds by Bird watching Develop infrastructure for perform various water sports activities
such as Boating etc. Infrastructure for stay of tourists Provision of house boats, paddle boats Distribution of plants for plantation on community and private lands Distribution of fruit tray for planting on private lands Training to locals viz Bird watching, Boating, Catering, Tourist
guides etc.
As such, proposed reservoirs will be developed as Eco-tourist spot. A provision of Rs.418 lakh has been earmarked for development of eco-tourism. Details are given at Table- 11.24:

11.6.5 Green Belt Development Plan
Forest loss due to reservoir submergence and other project appurtenances have been compensated as a part of compensatory afforestation. However in addition to above, it is proposed to develop greenbelt around the periphery of various project appurtenances, selected stretches along reservoir periphery, etc. The greenbelt development plan
912
aims to overall improvement in the environmental conditions of the region. The plan with a five-fold objective addresses issues such as prevention of land degradation due to activities during construction phase; enhancing the forest cover for increasing the biodiversity of the region; providing aesthetic value to the project area and consequently inviting a proportionate tourist flux; enhancing the ecological equilibrium of the area; and to a large proportion in combating soil erosion. A provision of Rs.216 lakh has been kept for Green belt Development on the periphery of reservoirs and Rs.480 lakh has been kept for green belt plantation along link canal. The plantation for this purpose will be carried out by Forest Departments of Gujarat and Maharashtra. 11.6.6 Environmental Management in Labour Camps
The aggregation of large number of workers in the project area during the construction phase is likely to put considerable stress on the prevailing biotic and abiotic environment of the area. The stress could be on account of increased water demand, sewage and solid waste generation, fuel wood requirements etc. The aim of the Environmental Management Plan is to minimize these stresses. The construction activities are likely to be concentrated at various locations at dam sites and along the canal alignment. The estimated peak labour force including technical staff for the proposed project is around 5800. The total increase in population considering the fact that some of the labour will be staying along with their families shall be about 14000. Community kitchens will be provided to worker families and the kerosene / Liquefied Petroleum Gas will be provided at subsidised rates.
It is proposed that each of the labour family involved in the construction activities shall be provided living units of 30-40 m2 with proper ventilation. Adequate facilities for water supply and sanitation shall also be provided. One community toilet needs to be provided for 20 persons. The wastewater generated from the colonies will be collected and disposed in specifically designed soak pits and Septic tank. The wastewater and sewage generated will not be allowed to flow into the rivers and streams of the area. The sanitary facilities at the colonies should be of standard municipal design for hill areas. However, efforts shall be made to ensure, that treated effluent is disposed only in these water bodies, which are not used for meeting domestic water requirements. Adequate facilities for collection and
913
conveyance of municipal wastes generated to the disposal site shall be developed. At each labour camp, covered trailers to collect the solid waste from the common collection point and transfer it to the disposal site needs to be put to service.
All necessary safety appliances such as helmets, masks, ear plugs, etc. shall be provided to the workers and staff. The regulations regarding working platforms, excavations, trenches and safe means of entry and egress shall be strictly complied. Efficient lighting and safety signs shall be installed on temporary roads during construction and adequate traffic regulations shall be adopted and implemented for temporary roads. All facilities to be constructed shall be fully equipped with the fire protection equipments as per IS standards. A provision of Rs. 6217.61 lakh is kept for implementation of various environmental measures in labour camps.
11.6.7 Public Health i) Control of Malaria: Increase in water fringe area provides suitable habitats for the growth of vectors of various diseases, which is likely to increase the incidence of water-related diseases. Malaria could be the major in the months of Sept and March. The preferred habitat is stagnant or slow moving fresh water open to vector-borne disease in the area. The main breeding seasons of the anopheline mosquito (malaria vector) is sunshine or moderate shade. Mosquito control and mosquito proofing measures have been recommended to control malaria. The anti-malarial operations can be coordinated by various Primary Health Centres located in villages close to the submergence area of the dams. ii) Development of Medical Facilities: It is proposed to develop 3 first-aid posts manned by a doctor each and supporting staff during construction phase. The first-aid posts should be located such that they are close to major construction sites. The doctor posted at the first-aid posts shall also coordinate the anti-malarial campaign be carried out under his immediate personal supervision. A systematic campaign shall be conducted in the months of March and Sept which are the breeding months of mosquito.
There shall be regular fumigation and sprays of insecticides in the areas where water is likely to be stagnant, to prevent the growth of malarial
914
larvae. The project proponents shall seek an expert opinion before selecting the appropriate insecticide for malaria control. The National Centre for Communicable Diseases, Delhi can provide assistance to the State government in the matter. iii) Health Extension Activities: The health extension activities will have to be carried out in the villages situated close to the dams being developed as a part of the project. There would be possibility of the transmission of communicable diseases due to migration of labour population from other areas at the construction site. The doctors from the dispensary constructed as a part of the project and other dispensaries in various villages in the project area will make regular visits to the villages and organize health promotional activities with the active participation of the local village leaders, Non-Governmental Organisations and available local health functionaries. iv) Water-borne Diseases: Following measures are recommended for control of water-borne diseases: Details of incidence of various water-borne diseases in the project
areas be collected and analysed to defect any particular trend. A detailed water quality monitoring programme be designed and
implemented. In areas showing incidence of water-borne diseases, intensive water quality monitoring shall be done.
v) Disposal of Bio-Medical Waste: Dispensaries use a variety of drugs including antibiotics, cytotoxics, corrosive chemicals etc. a part of which is generated as a solid waste. With greater emphasis on disposables, the quantum of solid waste generated in a hospital is quite high. The bio-medical waste must be segregated in accordance to the guidelines laid under Schedule-I of Bio-medical Waste (Management and Handling) rules notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests. The bio-medical waste shall be treated prior to its disposal. vi) Cost Estimates: The total budget earmarked for Public Health delivery system shall be Rs. 2062.98 lakh towards labour camps at head works and Rs.7665 lakh towards camps along the link canal. Provision of free fuel or at
915
subsidized rate to labour engaged departmentally at camps along link to avert biological loss shall be Rs.50.00 lakh. 11.6.8 Catchment Area Treatment Plan 11.6.8.1 Approach for the Study
Various thematic maps have been used in preparation of the Catchment Area Treatment Plan. Due to the spatial variability of site parameters such as soils, topography, land use and rainfall, not all areas contribute equally to the erosion problems. In order to ensure that latest and accurate data is used for the analysis, satellite data has been used for deriving land use data and ground truth studies too have been conducted. The various steps covered in the study are as follows:
Data Acquisition The requirement of the study was first defined and the outputs
expected were noted. The various data layers of the catchment area used for the study are as follows. Slope map Soil map Land use classification map Current management practices Catchment area map
Data preparation
The ground maps, contour information etc were scanned, digitized and registered as per the requirement. In the present study, IRS 1C-LISS III digital satellite data was used for interpretation and classification. The classified land use map of the catchment area considered for Jheri, Paikhed, Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs.
Output presentation The result of the modelling was interpreted in pictorial form to
identify the areas with high soil erosion rates. The primary and secondary data collected as a part of the field studies were used as an input for the model.

The Objective of the SYI method is to prioritize sub-water shed in a
catchment area for treatment. Area under high erosion category in Jheri dam 24189 ha, in Paikhed dam 15395 ha, in Chasmandva dam 3908 ha, in Chikkar dam 12238 ha, in Dabdar dam 24902 ha and in Kelwan dam 28542 ha. Various engineering and biological measures have been suggested for catchment area treatment categorised in the high erosion category of watersheds upto Jheri 12, Paikhed 7, Chasmandva 5, Chikkar 12, Dabdar 10 and Kelwan 9. Total cost of the catchment area treatment plan worked out as Rs. 4814 lakh.
11.6.8.4 Silt Transfer
The yield received from rains in the catchment area would be stored in reservoir and then let out into the link canal through the upper level tunnel. Normally, the silt transported from the catchment area would settle down into the lower layers and finally to the bottom and the top silt free water would be admitted into the link canal. However, during monsoon season the flood waters due to heavy rain fall would be laden with more suspended silt which would require mitigative measures. Silt excluders need to be built at the head regulator of main canal and branch canals. The silt excluders shall extract silt from the water and lead it to the river or other natural drainage through a tail race.
922
Silt escape or bed escapes, provided with vents and gates, need to be provided on the link canal nearer to the streams or rivers at suitable location. Even after providing silt excluders and silt escapes, some quantity of suspended silt still shall get deposited on the bed of link canal. Every year during the closure period of the canal, the deposited silt would have to be removed from the bed of the canal in order to avoid growth of weeds. Since the bed of the canal shall be entirely lined, desilting can be done with ease. A provision of Rs.2436.67 lakh has been kept for measures to arrest transportation of silt across basins.
11.6.9 Disaster Management Plan
Dam Break may be summarized as partial or catastrophic failure of a dam leading to uncontrolled release of water. Such an event can have a major impact on the land and communities downstream of the failed structure. A dam break may result in a flood wave up to several meters high travelling along the valley at very high speed. The impact of such a flood wave on the inhabitation downstream areas can be disastrous and may sweep away infrastructure such as roads, railways, bridges and buildings, in addition to endangering several human lives and livestock. Such destructive force results in heavy loss of life and property, if advance warning and evacuation is not made. Keeping all these in view, the disaster preparedness for such likely events is necessary.
The disaster Management Planning for dam break scenario consist of: Identification / construction of Evacuation path; setting up of alarms and warning systems at appropriate locations; establishing communication system; Dam safety and maintenance manual; Emergency Action Plan (EAP); Administration and procedural aspects; Preventive action; Evacuations plans; Evacuations team; Public awareness for disaster mitigation; Notifications; Notification procedures and Management after receding of flood water.
In the event that the failure is imminent or the failure has occurred or a potential emergency conditions is developing, the observer at the site is required to report it to the Junior Engineer / Assistant Engineer who will report to the Executive Engineer / Superintending Engineer for their
923
reporting to the Chief Engineer through a wireless system or by any available fastest communication system. The Engineer-in-Charge is usually responsible for making cognizant with the developing situation to the Civil Administration viz., District Magistrate and concerned sub-divisional magistrates and tehsildars.
The Engineer-in-Charge will be responsible for the entire operation including prompt determination of the flood situation time to time. Once the red alert is declared the whole State machinery will come into swing and will start evacuating people in the inundation areas delineated in the inundation maps. For successful execution, annually demo exercise will be done. The District Magistrate is to monitor the entire operation. A provision of Rs. 654 lakh has been kept for implementation of dam break management plan for mitigation and prevention of hazard from the dams. 11.6.10 Energy Conservation Measures
Various construction and other activities of the proposed Par-Tapi-Narmada link project would lead to increased demand for fuel wood in the project area and its vicinity and would therefore exert pressure on forest areas located around the project. The major source of energy in the villages of the project area is fuel wood, acquirement of which is one of the main causes of ecological degradation and human drudgery. It is estimated that during the construction of the project, which would last for about 7 years, around 5000 labourers will be working. Majority of the labour force will be outsiders and it will be very important to meet their energy requirement in an ecologically sustainable manner.
To provide an alternate for the energy requirement of the workers, contractor/s will be made responsible to provide subsidized kerosene/LPG to their workers which will in turn discourage them from illegal tree felling and removal of fuel wood and timber from the adjoining forests. Further, community kitchen facilities would also be provided to the labourers by the contractors. In addition to above, efforts would be made towards energy conservation by installing non-conventional energy sources. Energy conservation measures would be implemented to ensure that the use of non-renewable resources is minimized. A key component of achieving energy
924
conservation would be the development of an Energy Management Action Plan. This plan would be included as part of the Construction and Operational EMPs. The Energy Management Action Plan would be consistent with the energy conservation measures during both construction and operation phase. 11.6.10.1 Energy Conservation during Construction Phase
The following energy conservation measures would be undertaken during construction works:
Efficient work scheduling and methods that minimize equipment idle
time and double handling of material Throttling down and switching off construction equipment when not
in use Switching off truck engines while they are waiting to access the site
and while they are waiting to be loaded and unloaded Switching off site office equipment and lights and using optimum
lighting intensity for security and safety purposes. Careful design of temporary roads to reduce transportation distance Regular maintenance of equipment to ensure optimum operations and
fuel efficiency. The specification of energy efficient construction equipment.
11.6.10.2 Energy Conservation during Operation Phase
The following energy conservation measures would be implemented during operation phase:
Use of CFL lights up to maximum possible extent. Awareness about the use of CFL lights by locals. Development of heating, cooling and lighting use in buildings
through climate-responsive design and conservation practices. Employing renewable energy sources such as day lighting and passive
solar heating. Optimizing building performance and system control strategies, such
as controlling lights with occupancy sensors and controlling comfort.
925
Maximizing the use of solar power for signage and pedestrian lighting.
Designing roads on site to reduce transportation distances. 11.6.10.3 Budget
An amount of Rs. 440 lakh has been earmarked for implementation of Energy Conservation Measures. 11.6.11 Environmental Monitoring Programme
Environmental Monitoring is an essential tool in relation to environmental management as it provides the basis for rational management decisions regarding impact control. Environmental monitoring shall be performed during construction, commissioning and operation phases to ensure that the adverse impacts have been mitigated efficiently and to verify the impact predictions. The monitoring program will indicate where changes to procedures or operations are required, in order to reduce impacts on the environment or local population. The monitoring program will be undertaken to meet the following objectives: To monitor the environmental conditions of reservoirs areas and areas
benefited and impacted by the project To check on whether mitigation and benefit enhancement measures
have actually been adopted, and are proving effective in practice To provide information on the actual nature and extent of key impacts Effectiveness of mitigation and benefit enhancement measures which, through a feedback mechanism, can improve the planning and
execution of future, similar projects.
From the monitoring point of view, the important parameters are water quality, air quality, noise, erosion and siltation, afforestation, fishery, etc. An attempt will be made to establish early warning of indicators of stress on the environment. Suggested environmental monitoring plans are described in the following sections. The environmental monitoring programme during construction phase is at Table- 11.29:

programme of construction of the project has been discussed in detail in Chapter - 10 “Construction Programme, Manpower Deployment and Plant Planning”. This programme has been planned by CMO Directorate, Central Water Commission, New Delhi. 13.2.2 Sources of Revenue
The Par-Tapi-Narmada link project has been planned to provide irrigation in the new areas in its en-route Irrigation, projects proposed by Governmentof Gujarat, tribal area in the vicinity of reservoirs, tribal area in enroute right side of the canal, tribal area on right side of Narmada main canal and drought prone Saurashtra and Kutch regions by substitution (in lieu of taken over part command areas of existing Miyagam Branch Canal of Narmada Canal Systems of Sardar Sarovar Project). Also, the project envisages power generation and domestic water supply to the villages in the periphery of the proposed reservoirs and also along the canal. Accordingly, following would be the source of revenue from the link project.
• Irrigation water charges • Irrigation cess
1026
• Sale of water for domestic water supply and • Sale of hydro power
Other than the above, fisheries development in the proposed
reservoirs can also be one of the major sources of revenue on account of this project. 13.2.2.1 Water Rates – Irrigation Cess
Water rates: A large infrastructural network such as this project being created for making water available in the proposed command areas for irrigation and drinking purposes besides power generation, needs to be self sustainable. Therefore, appropriate water pricing is quite necessary, so that cost of operation and management of project could be recovered from the beneficiaries of the project upto some extent. Water rates may be different from irrigation and non-irrigation use. Water rates for irrigation use can be applied on the basis of per unit area irrigated. On the other hand, for drinking water supply, rates may be applied on the basis of per unit volume of water supplied, while power can be charged per unit basis. 13.2.2.2 Auction of Ferry Service, Inundated Land Lease, Auction for Fruit Bearing Trees along Canals, Lease of Land for Shops in Colony Area, Navigational Permits
Vacant lands on either side of canals may be leased for plantation of fruit bearing trees. Similarly, in project colony areas, land for shops may also be leased. 13.2.2.3 Revenue from Hydro-power
