north eastern hydraulic and allied research institute...

North Eastern Hydraulic and Allied Research Institute (NEHARI) was established in the year 1996 under Brahmaputra Board, as a follow up of historic 'Assam Accord' inked on the auspicious day – 15th August (Independence Day of India) – in the year 1985 in presence of then, Hon'ble Prime Minister of India Late Shri Rajiv Gandhi. The Institute is situated in sprawling campus of 44 hectares at Rudreswar in North Guwahati at a distance of 25 km from the main city, far from the madding crowd of the city, on the hillock with a panoramic view. The Institute was set up as pioneer laboratory of North Eastern Region for testing of soil, rock, concrete and construction materials for development of water resources and other projects. The Institute has adequate facility for simulating / understanding river behaviour through physical models.

General

1.1 Brahmaputra and Barak Valleys and the Rivers of Tripura1.1.1 Brahmaputra Valley and its flood problems

Brahmaputra, a trans-boundary river is the one among the mightiest rivers of Asia. River Brahmaputrais called Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet. It emerges from Angsi Glacier, on the northern side of the Himalayasin Burang County in southwestern part of Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) at an altitude of 4877 m. Itflows through southern Tibet in the east direction for a longer length, at an average height of 4000 m.At its easternmost point, the river bends around Mount Namcha Barwa and forms the Yarlung TsangpoCanyon. The total length of Brahmaputra River from its source to outfall at Bay of Bengal is 2906 km :1625 km in Tibet Autonomous Region, 918 km in India (278 km in Arunachal Pradesh and 640 km inAssam) and 363 km in Bangladesh. The river drains an area of 5,80,000 sq km ( Tibet AutonomousRegion of China – 293000 sq km, India – 240,000 sq km and Bangladesh – 47,000 sq km).

On its course from Kobo to Dhubri in Assam, about 26 important tributaries on its north bank andabout 13 on south bank join the river. Some of the north bank tributaries originate from snow cladHimalayas and others from the lower Himalayas. The total annual flow of the river is about 573 BCMat Jogighopa, which is 29% of the total surface flow of the country. Average width of theBrahmaputra Valley is 80 km, out of which the river itself occupies about 1.5 km to 25 km.

The River is braided and unstable in its entire reach in Assam except for a few places. The instability ofthe river is attributed to high sediment charge, steep slope and transverse gradient. Apart from these,the entire area is in a seismic zone and quite often receives earthquake shocks of moderate to severeintensity. The problem further gets aggravated due to landslides caused by high rainfall. Somemanmade avoidable actions in the form of shifting cultivation and non-scientific commercialexploitation of forest, etc. have also accelerated the process of soil erosion in the catchments. The siltbrought in the process gets deposited as the river descends into the plains with sudden reduction inslope, with the consequent reduction in the flow velocity and its sediment carrying capacity. Due toheavy deposition of silt, the river has frequently changed its course at different locations. Excessive siltdeposition has also given rise to braiding and meandering pattern in the alignment of the riversystem. ‘Majuli Island’, the largest inhabited river island is located in the Brahmaputra in upper Assam.

The left bank tributaries of the river Brahmaputra pass through stable reaches with flat slopes andcarry lesser sediment load of finer size. By hypsometric analysis of the tributaries, it is seen that theNorth bank tributaries indicate relatively young stage while the South bank tributaries indicate amature stage. This has given rise to inherent tendency of river Brahmaputra to shift its course towardssouth and the river flows by the side of hills at many places along its bank.

The flood in Brahmaputra Valley is a recurring phenomenon and has been causing large scaledevastations every year. The reasons for flood can be summarized as below:

81


(a) Inadequate capacity of the river channel due to braided nature thereby spilling of floodwaterover the banks

(b) Drainage congestion at the outfall of tributaries during the high stage of the main river, and,

(c) Excessive silt load in the river due to soil erosion and large scale landslides in the hillycatchments.

Crops grown in the Brahmaputra Valley are paddy, jute, mustard, pulses, wheat and sugarcane.Paddy and jute are mainly grown and harvested during monsoon period. Out of four types ofpaddy crops viz. the Ahu, Sali, Bao and Boro, which constitute about 92% of the cropped area, thefirst two namely Ahu and Sali are generally affected by floods. The maximum area affected due tofloods in the Brahmaputra Valley (including Barak) during the period 1953-2006 was approximately4.00 m. ha. The flood damage includes crop damage and the permanent loss of land due toerosion. A number of lives are also lost during each flood.

The flood and river management measures adopted so far in the valley are mostly of short termstructural measures such as construction of embankments, permeable and impermeable spurs,revetments etc. and are area specific only. The poor maintenance of the flood managementstructures generally causes unexpected miseries to the people in case of their failure. The efficacy ofthese measures especially in the river system of Brahmaputra, which is highly aggrading / degradingin different reaches, is also debatable. As such, there is a need for constructing storage reservoirs incombination with other structural / non-structural measures. The latter can be decided after studyingthe river behaviour using scientific tools.

For management of floods, erosion control and improvement of drainage congestion, BrahmaputraBoard has prepared Master Plans of the Brahmaputra main stem and its 39 tributaries and for MajuliIsland. There is also a need to implement the various recommendations made in the Master Plans ofBrahmaputra sub-basin prepared by Brahmaputra Board. The regional Task Forces “B” for floodmanagement in N.E. Region has also submitted its report to the Ministry of Water Resources, whichshould be taken into consideration for early implementation in a time bound manner.

1.1.2 Barak ValleyThe river Barak is a part of the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna system and is the second largest riverof the N.E. Region having eight major tributaries. It originates from a hill east of Mouthana at anelevation of about 2840 m in the southern slopes of Nagaland / Manipur. The Barail, Patkai andLussai hills bound the sub-basin on its three sides. Total catchment area of the Barak sub-basin up toIndo-Bangladesh border is 41,704 sq km out of which 751 sq km lies in Myanmar. The annual flowfrom Indian catchment is 29.6 BCM at Badarpurghat. The length of the river from its source uptoBhanga in Cachar district is 532 km after which the Barak bifurcates into two branches known asthe Surma and the Kushiara. These two branches enter Bangladesh and again join to form a singleriver channel and flow up to Bhairab Bazar where it meets with Meghna in Bangladesh.

The river Barak is joined by a number of hill streams on both its banks. Flood occurs frequently in thisvalley causing extensive damage to lives and properties. In order to manage the problem of flood,erosion and drainage congestion, various measures have been taken from time to time by way ofconstruction of embankments, bank protection and drainage improvement works etc. Thesemeasures have provided adequate protection to the people of the valley against low and mediumfloods. In case of high floods, embankments are not able to withstand heavy pressure, consequentlynumber of breaches occur which cause devastating floods in the valley. In order to deal with the

82


problems of floods, bank erosion and drainage congestion, Brahmaputra Board has prepared MasterPlans for the Barak sub-basin and Dhaleswari, one of the major tributaries of Barak.

1.1.3 Rivers of TripuraThere are eight important rivers in Tripura. These rivers cause flood frequently in the State. Based oninvestigation and data collected from state Government and various other Central Agencies,Brahmaputra Board has prepared Master Plans for all these rivers and these have been approvedby the Central Government. The Master Plans envisage various structural and non-structural measuresto tackle flood, erosion and drainage congestion problems. The Feni flows through the “No man’sland” of Indo-Bangla border and its right bank falls in India. The Master Plan of Feni River is underpreparation.

1.1.4 Rivers of MeghalayaMinistry of Water Resources, RD&GR through Office Memorandum No. 19/2/2010-B&B/3563-3580 dated3rd September 2010 constituted a ‘Joint Team’ under the Chairmanship of Chief Engineer (P&D)(now Chief Engineer-I), Brahmaputra Board on matter related to Integrated Water ResourcesDevelopment in the State of Meghalaya. The ‘Joint Committee’ identified 18 rivers of Meghalayafor preparation of Master Plans. Master Plans of 9 rivers out of these have already been formulatedby Brahmaputra Board and are in various stages of approval of Government of India. Out of theremaining 9 Master Plans, one Master Plan has been circulated amongst the Board members and 5Master Plans are under preparation.

1.1.5 Rivers of Sikkim and West Bengal draining into Brahmaputra River BasinTeesta, Jaldhaka and Torsa – Raidak are three river systems of Sikkim and West Bengal and fall intoriver Brahmaputra. Master Plans for all the three sub-basins have been formulated. These threeMaster Plans have been approved by Board. These Master Plans are being submitted for approvalof Government of India after compliance of observations of Ministry of Water Resources, RD & GR.

1.1.6 Imphal River in ManipurThe Imphal River emerges in the highlands in the state of Manipur to the west of Kangpolpi andflows towards the south. Brahmaputra Board has planned for formulation of a Master Plan of ImphalRiver and the process for carrying out ‘Survey and Investigation’ of the sub-Basin has been initiated.Presently 4 (Four) Anti-Erosion & Flood Control Schemes on Imphal river are identified.Process forformulation of DPR has been initiated.

1.2 Establishment of Brahmaputra Board and its FunctionsThe Brahmaputra Board, a statutory body, was set up under an Act of Parliament called the‘Brahmaputra Board Act, (Act 46 of 1980)’ under the Ministry of Irrigation (now Ministry of WaterResources, RD&GR).

� Protection of Majuli from floods and erosion

Majuli is the largest inhabited River Island in the world. It is situated between latitudes 26º45’N and27º10’N, and longitudes between 93º40’E and 94º35’E. Majuli has been the cultural capital and thecradle of Assamese civilization since the 16th century. Sankardeva, a pioneer of the medieval-ageneo-vaishnavite movement, preached a monotheist form of Hinduism called as Vaishnavism andestablished monasteries and hermitages known as satras. The satras preserve antiques like weapons,utensils, jewellery and other items of cultural significance. The inhabitants of Majuli are mostly tribals- predominantly from the Mishing, Deori and Sonowal Kacharis tribes. Majuli is also famous forpottery.

Majuli Island has constantly been subjected to erosion by the mighty Brahmaputra. Responsibility forundertaking anti-erosion works for protection of Majuli Island was given to Brahmaputra Board inthe year 1999. Physical activities on the ground started in the year 2004.

104


The total area of the land mass of Majuli Main Island was 502.21 sq km in the year 2004. Since the year2004, with regular implementation of anti-erosion / bank protection measures by Brahmaputra Board,the total area of Majuli Island has increased to 524.29 sq km till the year 2016. Currently, works underPhase-II & III are under execution. Works - such as construction of four spurs, river bank revetments in5 locations, closing of breach at Samahia-Ati, laying permeable RCC porcupine screens/spurs/dampeners, construction of 5 Raised Platforms in low lying flood vulnerable areas, construction ofnose of 2 check bunds, tie bunds at 2 locations have been completed. Balance works of RCCporcupine ordered. Works of repair & restoration of 3 spurs (Spur-1,3&4) and remaining works of onespur (spur-2) are to be initiated after flood and targeted to be completed by March, 2016.

� Avulsion of Brahmaputra at Dhola-Hatighuli (Restoration of Dibang and Lohit Rivers)

Avulsion of left bank of River Lohit occurred, at confluence of Lohit with Dibang - near Dhola-Hatighuli located in Dumdooma, Civil Sub-division of Tinsukia district - in the year 1989, due tobreach in Saikhowa Bund. Gradual widening of the channel with time was threatening existence ofmore areas of Tinsukia and Dibrugarh Districts of Assam, situated all along the newly developedchannel. Initially significant combined flow of Dibang and Lohit rivers started to flow through AnantaNala to Dangari – a tributary of river Dibru. Since the year 2000 the Balu Nala became dominantand almost entire diverted flow of Lohit and Dibang Rivers started passing through Balu Nala.Gradual widening of the channel with time was threatening existence of more areas of Tinsukiaand Dibrugarh Districts of Assam, situated all along the newly developed channel.

The scheme “Avulsion of Brahmaputra at Dhola-Hatighuli (Measures for diversion of River Dibang toits original course) with ancillary anti-erosion measures” prepared by Government of Assam wasapproved by Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India in the Technical Advisory Committee(TAC) meeting held in May, 2002 and the Brahmaputra Board was entrusted with the responsibility forexecution of the scheme. Total expenditure of Rs 77.48 crore has so far been incurred by BrahmaputraBoard on execution of works envisaged under Phase-I, Phase-II, Phase-III and Phase-IV.

With construction of ‘Tie-Bund’, the land earlier used to form part of main channel of Dibang Riveris now completely protected from floods and erosion. The inhabitants of deserted areas havereturned back and restarted cultivation in a big way.

� Protection of Balat Village in Meghalaya on River Umngi.

Part –I of scheme amounting Rs. 5.63 crore are taken up for implementation. Physical progressachieved is 83.14% and financial progress achieved up to March 2016 is Rs. 4.81crore. For takingup the balance work of the scheme (i.e. bank revetment), Brahmaputra Board requested MoWR,RD&GR for revision of Administrative Approval and Expenditure Sanction to Rs. 10.18 crore.

�� Anti-erosion works for protection of Mankachar, Kalair-alga international border area fromerosion of river Brahmaputra, Assam-

The Mankachar and Kalair Alga International Border area is located on the south bank of riverBrahmaputra in South Salmara, Mankachar District on the westernmost border of Assam. Thesouth bank of River Brahmaputra,is subjected to severe erosion at up-stream of SishumaraBorder out Post (BOP) of Border Security Force (BSF) adjacent to Indo-Bangla border since 2004-05. On the request of BSF, Assam Public Works Department (APWD) constructed 4 spurs withlength of 385m, 245m, 110m and 100m between the Sishumara BOP and Kukradanga in astretch of 2 km in 2006. Due to erosion in subsequent years, major portions of these spurs goteroded. APWD took up repair works of the damaged portions of the spurs in 2009-10. Also,CPWD had taken some measures for protecting the IBB Link Road.

The MoWR, RD&GR entrusted Brahmaputra Board to take up protection measures in the area.Accordingly, Brahmaputra Board prepared DPR for protection of the area and the schemehad been Techno-economically cleared by CWC for an amount of Rs. 23.79 crore. The schemewas included for execution in the EFC for the ‘River basin Management’ scheme during XIIFive Year Plan. Administrative Approval and Expenditure Sanction was received for Rs. 23.79crore in July 11, 2014. Brahmaputra Board has initiated the execution of the work in 2015.

In the meanwhile, the erosion of Brahmaputra washed away 470m length of the Indo BanglaBorder (IBB) Link road in July 2015, thereby hampering activities of BSF in the area. This breachneeds to be plugged and Board has taken up the work of construction of retirement bund forplugging the breach in 2016.

107


The Technical Advisory Committee - Brahmaputra Board (TAC-BB) during their site visit on11.02.2016 has suggested realignment of the retirement bund. Accordingly, work has beentaken up by Board.

The overall expenditure on the Scheme is Rs. 2.15 Crore up to March, 2016 with physical progressi) RCC porcupine works- 80%, ii) Bank revetment- 0.14%, iii) Retirement bund- 6.03%.
