Achievements

Procured and created the environment with DSS planning Server -1, DSS Web Publishing Server-1, DSS Work station -2 with LAN and internet connectivity.

Civil works executed for 25 ARGs/SRGs and 4 F.C stations for data collection network through Local Shopping in Hydrology Project Phase-II.

Procured 36nos computers, 7 Laptops and peripherals under up gradation of IT infrastructure.

Procured GIS and Image processing software. Procured 5 LCD projectors and information Brochures got printed. Website for HP was developed. The Hydrology data is being disseminated to the users on demand. Out of Four Reservoirs Hydrographic Survey for 1 project was

completed and report was submitted The remaining three Projects Hydrographic Survey work was completed and reports are under preparation and the reports will be submitted before closure of HP-II i.e.31-05-2014.

Data Dissemination

The data pertaining to Hydrology, Hydro-meteorological and Climatic station is available from July 1999 to January 2014 in Hydrology Project circle Data storage center.

After implementation of pricing structure (in 2007) the data Disseminated to various government, N.G.O. and private organization covering university scholars and P.G. Students, Irrigation, A.P Genco, WAPCOS and other private organizations for utilization for different purposes (Irrigation/Industry/consultancy).

The total number of purchasers till date are 170nos and the amount collected so far is Rs.1,36,794/-

Purpose Driven Studies

Reservoir sedimentation studies are identified under PDS Rs.60.50 lakhs allotted for Reservoir Sedimentation Studies

of four reservoirs i.e Jurala, SRSP, Kadam and Nizam sagar. Hydro graphic survey of Priyadarshini Jurala project was

completed and report submitted Other reservoirs Hydro graphic survey completed and

report preparation is being under progress

Key Observations:-Priyadarshini Jurala Project constructed across the river KrishaStorage capacity of project is 338.10 M.cum (11.94 TMC)The first survey was conducted during the Mar-Apr 2012Capacity of reservoir found is 273.440 M.Cum (9.657 TMC) at FRL +318.516 mLoss in capacity is 19.125%The rate of sedimentation was worked out to 0.49 Ha.m/100Sq.Km/yearIt is observed that % loss in capacity is in the order of high

Suggestions made :-Take catchment area treatment as per guidelines Construct check dams and plantation to arrest soil erosionConduct Hydrographic surveys at least once in 5Years when it attains FRL

KEY POINTSHydrographic Survey for SRSP, Kadam and Nizam Sagar completed and report preparation under progress

Decision Support System (P)

Development of Software model for Decision Support system planning (DSS-P) is one of the components of Hydrology Project Phase-II. Middle Godavari Basin(G-5), Sriram Sagar Project (SRSP) System was selected for model development. The following scenarios tested A.Crop selection and corresponding water requirements:

This scenario tested for multiple cropping pattern in command area. Different combinations of crops are selected for optimum utilization of "available water level" in the reservoir during 1st October to 1st June. to assess the deficit of water under various cropping patterns. B. Providing Water for all sectors based on Increasing Demands: Effective allotment of water for various sectors (Drinking , Irrigation and industry ) based on Increased demands has been tested to analyze the impact of increased demands of a particular sector on the remaining sectorsC. Combined Management of reservoirs and Water Transfers:

Integrated reservoir operation model setup completed and working on various possible test cases and results are yet to be analyzed. D. Balancing Head-end and tail-end abstraction along irrigation canal: Conjunctive use of water has been tested in this scenario. Distributory-83(D-83) of SRSP catchment is selected as part of pilot study. Extending the scenario for more area in association with Ground Water

Post Project Plan HP-II

Continuation of HP-II Activities

Post Project Training for updating Knowledge. Operation and maintenance of the network stations,

Water Quality lab equipment, Hydrometry and Hydrometeorology equipment, Computers etc.,

Awareness raising by conducting HDUG meetings. Publication of Meta data year book and monthly bulletins

like Aquadat. Dissemination of data to users on demand. Completing left over activities of DSS(P) pilot study and

blending with Decision making and Awareness raising. Dissemination of PDS results. Application of HDA software's as per necessity after

receipt of the same.

Moving Towards HP-III

Exploring the possibility of Hydrology Project - III

Different applications under different river basins/projects can be taken up using DSS(P)

Scale up applications from Hydrology to water resources Carry out the information to applications from data related to

Water resources and Hydrology Upgrading of existing Hydro meteorological network to Real time

data acquisition system Data processing reservoir management, flood management can

be done by real time monitoring (RTDSS) The reservoir sedimentation studies of Nagarjun Sagar project and

Srisailam project can be taken up under HP-III through APERL / APSRAC
