III. HYDROLOGY UNIT:

To assess Water Resources in Karnataka State in a scientific manner, the studies of

flow data at various points in different river basins and rainfall data are most essential. As
such, the Government of Karnataka has established a separate Hydrology Unit under Water
Resources Development Organization, with the responsibility to collect data from various

28
gauging stations spread all over the State for analyzing and validation of Hydrometric and
Hydro meteorological data.

The following Meteorological stations are working under the Jurisdiction of WRDO:
A. Hydrological Stations:
1. Current Meter Gauging Stations - 32
2. Stage Discharge Stations - 10
3. Silt and Sedimentation observations stations - 22
B. Hydro meteorological Stations:
1. Fully Climatic Stations - 87
2. Autographic Rain gauge Stations - 166
3. Standard Rain gauge Stations - 759

The data obtained from these Hydrological and Hydro meteorological stations are
scrutinized, analyzed and processed. The data of Rain gauge Stations maintained by Water
Resources Development Organization are published by the Department of Economics and
Statistics after obtaining the data from the concerned Tahasildar office’s of the respective
Taluks. Also the daily inflow, outflow of the major and medium reservoirs, weirs and
anicuts are collected from respective zones and are being processed. Besides this, yield
studies are being carried out for the irrigation, drinking and power projects. H.M.datas are
being sent daily to KSNDMC.

This unit is collecting and compiling the rainfall data and flow data of our State

for adjudication of the water disputes regarding the Inter-State River Krishna and the
River Valley thereof, emerging from the letters of complaint of Mysore (present
Karnataka), Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, gave its first report in December, 1973
and further report containing the final order in May, 1976.

1.2 According to Bachawat Tribunal, the enbloc allocation to the 3 States under Scheme
‘A’ including regeneration is as under:

Maharashtra 560 tmc + 25 tmc = 585 tmc

Karnataka 700 tmc + 34 tmc = 734 tmc
Andhra Pradesh 800 tmc + 11 tmc = 811 tmc
Total 2060 tmc + 70 tmc = 2130 tmc

33
 A Master Plan Committee constituted to formulate schemes for effective
utilization of Karnataka’s share of water gave its report in 2002 making scheme wise
allocation.

1.3 The Bachawat Tribunal had also devised the Scheme 'B' to allocate surplus waters
available in the Krishna Basin and recommended for allocation of 25% to
Maharashtra, 50% to Karnataka and 25% to Andhra Pradesh. But this is not a part of
the Order of the Tribunal.

1.4 Considering the Complaints filed by the 3 basin States, for constituting a Water
Dispute Tribunal in the matter of sharing of surplus water available in Krishna River
Basin, the Central Government constituted the new Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal
on 02.04.2004. The officials of this unit have worked with full effort in assisting the
Technical Committee constituted for giving necessary technical advice to argue
effectively the right of the State and the legal team by  providing necessary
information from time to time during preparation for arguments before the Supreme
Court and the Tribunals.

1.5 In the report given by the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal-II on 30th December,
2010, fresh availability of water has been estimated and the State of Karnataka has
been allocated 911 tmc. This is an additional quantity of 177 tmc., apart from the
previous allocation of 734 tmc made by the Bachawat award. Apart from this, the
order to utilize 303 tmc by increasing the height of Almatti dam from the existing
519.6 m to 524.256 m is an achievement of the State. The Krishna Water Decision
Implementation Board has to be set up by the Union Government for implementation
of KWDT orders, in which a representative of the State has to be nominated, as per
the directions of the Tribunal.

1.6 The State of Andhra Pradesh has filed a SLP before the Supreme Court, challenging

of the Act, the KWDT gave its Further Report containing Final Order on 29.11.2013.
34
1.8 Without modifying the allocations made by KWDT-I at 75% dependability (including
return flow), the allocations made by KWDT-II under different dependabilities are as
follows:

Maharashtra 585 tmc + 81 tmc = 666 tmc

Karnataka 734 tmc + 173 tmc = 907 tmc
Andhra Pradesh 811 tmc + 194 tmc = 1005 tmc
Total 2130 tmc + 448 tmc = 2578 tmc

The State of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have filed SLP in the Supreme Court,
seeking legal clarifications on several points contained in the Final Order and Further
Report issued by the Tribunal on 29.11.2013. The 3 SLP’s including the SLP filed by

PROGRAMME AND PROGRESS:-

The programme and progress of workshops carried out is detailed below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Programme Progress
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major Repairs and Minor Repairs 120 36

Petty Repairs 3600 2232

NOTE:- Even though programme is drawn out , it mainly depends upon the inflow of
machinery for repairs which cannot be predicated in advance . However the progress is
monitored monthly and suitable action is being taken whenever lapses are observed.
Major Hurdles :- Even though C.M.O. is exclusively created and entrusted with the task
of repairing the sick machinery, it is observed that many civil divisions are not observing the
instructions issued by Government i.e., the vehicles are not sent to Government C.M.O.,
workshops for repairs. On the other hand, repairs are carried out by the civil divisions
themselves, depriving the C.M.O. from performing its functions.
REMEDY:- It is proper to utilize the Mechanical Engineers and Mechanical staff under
C.M.O. to the optimum capacity. The Government may issue instructions to the Heads of
46
different departments to get the repairs of their vehicle / equipments in C.M.O., workshop
only. Also proposal to stay the organization has also been submitted to Govt. Proposal regd.
Re-strengthening of CMO has also been submitted to Govt. as suggested by A.G. if proper
orders are issued optimum utilization of services of technical staff can be ensured.
Filling up of vacancies:- Since the origin of this organization the vacancy position in key
technical posts like Assistant Engineers, Junior Engineers, Mechanics and Foremen have not
been filled up fully at any point of time. As on date the percentage of vacancy in these cadre
is as under.
Sanctioned Working % of Vacancy
Strength Strength
Assistant Engineer 58 40 68.96%
Junior Engineers 46 31 67.39%__

Remedy:-
From the above, it could be made out that without full cadre strength, works cannot
be carried out to the optimum capacity.

V. CONCLUSION:-
Viewing the aims, functions and the achievements of the C.M.O., it is imperative that
this organization needs to be strengthened and due encouragement with all the necessary co-
operation from the various Civil Divisions has to be imparted to it to achieve ever lasting
results in the up-coming of the organization.

Introduction:
To maximize returns from investments made in irrigation projects in the State, it is necessary
to manage water and land in a systematic and scientific way. This requires capacity building
of Government Staff as well Water Users. To meet these capacity building needs, Water and
Land Management Institute (WALMI) started functioning at Dharwad on 12-5-1986 and was
later registered as a Society under the Karnataka Societies Registration Act, 1960 on
16.06.1986. WALMI: imparts training; renders technical assistance, advises Government on
legal, policy, organizational and procedural changes; organizes demonstrations in
collaboration with other organizations; conducts special studies and brings out publications.

Training:
WALMIs training activities focused on the training required for implementation of the State
Water Policy and the Irrigation Sector Reforms. Special emphasis was laid on training on
Participatory Irrigation Management, Water Management and Land Development. Office
bearers of Water Users Cooperative Societies throughout the State as well as some farmers
were also trained by WALMI. As against a target of 2940 persons to be trained, 3451
persons were trained during.

Technical Assistance:
WALMI rendered technical assistance to the Water Resources Department and organizations
coming under the Department on implementation of State Water Policy, Participatory
Irrigation Management and necessary legal and policy changes.

Demonstrations in Collaboration with the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad:

Demonstrations pertaining to irrigation methods for different crops- Cotton, Soyabean,
Paddy, Sunflower, Wheat, Maize, Groundnut, Guava, Mango, Sapota and vegetable crops
were laid. Water saving technolgies like drip, sprinkler and Raingun were demonstrated in
the WALMI Farm to support training activities.
63
Action Research:
As per orders issued in Government Order No. WRD 14 CAM 2009, dated
02.12.2009, action research on participatory and sustainable water and land management is
undertaken in selected distributaries of the Malaprabha and Ghataprabha projects. A support
group comprising of all departments concerned with irrigated agriculture is constituted to
implement the project. The activities are coordinated by the Director, WALMI.

Financial Progress:

12.2.3 KALASA NALA AND BANDHUR NALA PROJECT:

These two projects envisage diversion of 7.56 TMC of water to Malaprabha

dam by construction of dam across the above nalas and diversion canals.
Administrative approval for these two projects is accorded by Government in
August 2000. Forest clearance for these projects is pending for want of CWC
clearance for the project. The in principle clearance given by CWC to these
projects has been kept in abeyance and inspite of repeated attempts by
Government of Karnataka, the Union Government has not been able to with
draw the order of abeyance on “IN PRINCIPLE CLEARANCE”

The KNNL Board has recommended in its 25th meeting held on 7.6.2005 to
take up works in non-forest area by entrusting the work to any Government
agency. Accordingly the Government vide its order No.JASAME 22 VEBYATA
2004 (Part-1) Bangalore dated 9.10.06 has approved to take up Kalasa Nala
Banduranala diversion schemes in non-forest area. (4.40 km out of 4.80 km
of Kalasanala and 4.90 km out of 5.80 km of Banduranala).

 Further the Government vide letter No.JASAME 22 VEBYATA 2004
dated.21.10.06 has given directions to take-up the above works through
KSCC duly following all the necessary procedures as per KTPP Act 1999.

The Chief Engineer, KNNL, Irrigation(North)Zone, Belgaum has submitted

an estimate of Rs.21.24 crores for construction of Kalasa Nala Dam and
approval has been accorded to the same.

Since the project is a inter-state dispute project and some time was required
for KSCC to take up works on tender basis, the works in non-forest areas
were taken-up by entrusting 2 works on piece work basis, each not
exceeding Rs.5.00 lakhs, in respect of Kalasa Nala diversion scheme.

In the meantime the Government vide Order No.WRD 36 VEBYATA 2006,

Bangalore dated 15.3.2007, has approved to execute the works of
Kalasanala diversion scheme in non-forest areas on piece work basis, till the
tendering process for balance work is completed.

In this order, Government has withdrawn the works entrusted to KSCC and
has instructed KNNL to proceed with tendering process for balance works
immediately duly following the prescribed procedure as per KTPP Act 1999.

Accordingly tender for the balance work of ICC from Kalasa to Malaprabha
River was invited and work is awarded and it is in progress.

Tenders are finalised for Phase–II of the balance work of ICC from Kalasa to
Malaprabha River (Earthwork and Box pushing technique) and works are in
progress.

Tenders of Rs.20.03 Crores have been awarded for the construction of 2

12.5.6 RAJOLIBUNDA DIVERSION SCHEME:

The Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme(RDS) was constructed by the Erstwhile
Government of Hyderabad in 1947 .This scheme was planned to utilize the
water in catchment area flow & regenerated flows in the Tungabhadra river
171
below TB Dam, after utilization of ancient channels(i.e.VNC) & to irrigate
93,379 Acres with a canal on left side. The RDS is constructed as per the
agreement reached in the year 1944 between the madras state & Hyderabad
government.

After the reorganization of the states in the year 1956, the RDS head works
and first 27 miles of the canal with distributaries 1 to 14 are fall in the
territory of Karnataka State and remaining canal anddistributories in
Andhra Pradesh.

The canal runs for a length of 27 miles (42.60 Km) in Karnataka State and
remaining length of 62 miles in Andra Pradesh. There are 14 distributaries
in Karnataka State and the ayacut benefited is 5879.00 acres .The number
of distributaries in Andhra Pradesh is 22 and area benefited in Andhra
Pradesh is 87,500 acres.

The project was commenced in the year 1947. The anicut, distributaries
falling in Karnataka State are completed in the year 1958 and water is
letout in the canal during July 1958.

As the RDS main canal was designed to carry 850 cusecs at head and
Karnataka is to provide discharge of 770.00 cusecs at Andhra Pradesh
border (ie. At Km 42.60) after utilizing Karnataka share of 80 cusecs. But
due to disturbed lining accumulation of silt in bed and due to over topping
of water at certain banking reaches coming under Karnantaka State area
are in bad shape and also due to changes in hydraulic parameters of main
canal (as the canal was designed based on the parameters available during
the year 1947) it is not possible to draw more than 640 cusecs at head, So it
is possible to provide only 400-450 cusecs at AP border as against design
discharge of 770 cusecs. The Andhra Pradesh Government constituted
committee to look into the matter and to suggest remedial measures to
improve the flow conditions of the canal. Accordingly four modernisation
works takenup to improve the flow conditions of the canal.

Following 4 packages are takenup for modernization

1. Package-I Modernisation of RDS Anicut and head works.

2. Package-II Modernisation of RDS main canal from Km 0.00 to 15.00
including improvements to cD works.
3. Package-III Modernisation of RDS main canal from Km 15.00 to 30.0
including improvements to CD works.
4. Package-IV Modernisation of RDS main canal from Km 31.00 to 42.60
including improvements to CD works.

Package-III & IV are almost completed & Package-I & II are under progress.

The Krishnarajasagar Reservoir is constructed across the River Cauvery near

Kannambaadi village in Srirangapattana Taluk of Mandya District, with Canals on both the
flanks for providing irrigation to an extent of 196000 acres (79312 Hectares) of Mandya and
Mysore District. The Left Bank High Level Canal, which is named as Vishweshvaraya
Canal was originally proposed for providing Irrigation to an extent of 120000 Acres (48,564
Hectares). However, due to various factors like construction of pickup channels, lowering of
local mounds in the command area, subsequent extension of certain branch canals etc., there
has been considerable increase in the command area of Vishweshvaraya Canal. This has
resulted in increased withdrawal in various branches, causing a strain on the canal system.
Due to this the supply of water to the atchkat in the tail end reaches was inadequate. The
existing canal is carrying higher discharge. Also two major Aqueducts along the canal were
not able to carry discharges beyond 67 Cumecs (2366 Cusecs). In order to limit the excess
utilisation of water in the atchkat it was programmed to modernize the Vishweshvaraya
Canal and also to create fresh atchkat of 5250 Acres (2125 Hectares). Administrative
approval has been accorded to the Original estimate amounting to Rs.14.80 Crores. The work

National Commission on Irrigation, 1971 and the National Commission on
Agriculture, 1976, the CADP ensures rapid and optimum utilization of
Irrigation Potential created under Major and Medium Irrigation Projects
thereby increasing the agriculture production as also reducing the gap
between the potential area created and the actual area utilised.

THE OBJECTIVES
Irrigation Management is a multi-disciplinary activity involving major
department like Irrigation, Agriculture, Cooperation and other organization
engaged in training and research activities. Against this perspective, CADA
was constituted in the year 1970 to work as a catalyst between the various
organizations to reduce the gap between irrigation potential created and
utilized, to increase production per unit of water and land, to reduce the
loss of irrigation water in the conveyance system, to improve its efficiency at
the farm level and to ensure equitable distribution of water. The objectives
of the CADA, as envisaged under section 10 of the Karnataka Command
Areas Development (K.C.A.D.) Act 1980, are listed below:

To formulate and implement schemes for the Comprehensive

Development of the Command Area;

To prevent land erosion and water logging;

To improve soil fertility and regulation of cropping pattern;

12
 To ensure the efficient maintenance of Field channels and Field
Drains by the Farmers within the Command Area;

Localisation and de-localisation of lands for various crops;

Ensuring supply of all inputs and services;

Promotion and setting up of rural growth centres for integrated

development of the Command Area;

Development of marketing, processing and storage facilities and

adequate communication system;

Arranging for credit facilities to the farmers and artisans;

Organizing agricultural Co-operatives and Associations;

Construction of Field channels and connected drains;

To borrow and lend money necessary for the due discharge of its
functions;
