with that of an advanced nation. Of late there has been a lot o f focus on investigations to reduce geological uncertainties. While the geologists have maintained that best practices are being adopted in investigation, construction techniques are not so much advanced thereby aggra-vating the problems that could have been solved with a little foresight.

We are immensely pleased to bring out the ISEG Newsletter once again. This periodical to-gether with the websites is the most important source of communication of the society. In the past few months the focus has been EGNM 2015 for which abstracts shall be called from July 2014 onwards. Please keep visiting our websites: isegindia.org and joegin-dia.com for updates on the themes. We would
like to have overwhelm-ing participation from India. I have been attending courses in geological engineering through distance education at a university in USA and let me tell you that the same have been nothing short of a revelation. This endeavour has provided an opportunity to com-pare our engineering geo-logical, geo-hydrological and rock mechanics procedures and studies
Geotechniques and Geo-hazards - A quest for ex-cellence" in the month of July, 2014 at Kolkata. Like any other ISEG events, let us make it a grand success and cer-tainly, we will bring out some important action points from the Seminar which can help in mitigat-ing the disasters. An ex-clusive brainstorming session is also planned in the Seminar inviting suggestions to organise the Golden Jubilee Cele-bration of the ISEG in the year 2015.
Hello! Indian Society of Engi-neering Geology, the Indian Group of Interna-tional Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG), formed in the year 1965, is heading towards its Golden Jubilee Celebra-tion in the year 2015, on completion of 50 years of service. In order to com-memorate the event, the ISEG proposes to organ-ize an “International Con-ference on Engineering Geology in New Millen-nium” at New Delhi on 27-29 October 2015. For
making the proposed Con-ference a truly Golden Jubilee event, the Society looks forward to global participation in the Con-ference on a large scale. The Executive Council of the ISEG is keen to take suggestions and guidance from esteemed members and well wishers of the ISEG to organise the Inter-national Conference.
As prelude to the mega event, ISEG in association with the Geological Survey of India proposes organis-ing a "National Seminar on Engineering Geology,
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive but adjust to the object and you shall find a way.

Certainly if the same or similar problems occur in every other project in the Himalayas, the argument of ‘Himalayan geology’ will not hold water. Engineers on the other hand have some genuine difficulties. As the modelling softwares and calculations are quite sensitive to the input information, there will be changes once the actual conditions are different. For instance, in a dam complex and appurtenant structures ideally a network of drill holes in a grid for substantial length in the river depend-ing on the layout are required but such an exercise may not be practical given the time and budget constraints. Therefore, emphasis on detailed investigations to the extent possible and interpretation by experienced engineering geologists is a neces-sity. However most exhaustive investigation and testing will be defeated if state of the art construction techniques are not fol-lowed or there is insouciance in following mandatory proce-dures. The good thing is that answers are not far away. Intensive inves-tigations and testing followed by best contractual procedures and construction practices seems to be the recipe. Very easy to say and advocate but the “proof of the pudding lies in eating”. The example of Kishanganga hydroelectric power project in J&K stands out today in not only record breaking (812 m/month) progress by double shield TBM but also sustained progress of over 400m/month in the 13.0 km long tunnel thus far completed that too with lining! Moreover the entire 8.5 km stretch by drill and blast technique also stands completed in 48 months. The break-through of the 21 km long head race tunnel is also not far away. Let us study this project and other success-ful projects in detail and develop a document which would include investigation as well as contract and construction methodology to develop a successful modus operandi for hydro power projects. We have lined up two interesting short papers in this issue on GLOF studies and Road tunnel across Rohtang pass that was in headlines recently. Other regular features such as biography of renowned engineering geologist/ geotechnical engineer with round up of activities for ISEG during last six months are included. Please note that your feedback is most important in improving our publications. Short papers or articles on new
topics are always welcome.

NHPC Ltd has successfully commissioned all the four units of (4X 60MW) Uri stage-II hydropower Project located in Bara-mulla district of Jammu & Kashmir during February 2014. This project is second run-of-the- river project on Jhelum River downstream of 480MW Uri-I power project which was com-missioned in 1997. The Uri-II project consists of a 44m high concrete gravity dam, a 4.23km long HRT with 8.4m dia., a restricted orifice type surge shaft of 25m dia., an underground powerhouse (133m long, 15m wide & 40m high), and a horse shoe shaped tail-race tunnel 3.62km in length. The project has been designed to make use of Jhelum waters at a gross head of 130m fol-lowing the discharge of Uri-I tail water upstream. NHPC started the construction of this project in 2005, how-ever, it suffered significant delay due to major earthquake and frequent flooding of River Jhelum. The project is con-structed within Sedimentary rocks of Murree Formation, com-prising of alternate sequence of sandstone, siltstone and shale of Oligo-Miocene age. Due to complex geological set up several challenges were encountered during construction of various project components.

1.0 INTRODUCTION1.0 INTRODUCTION1.0 INTRODUCTION1.0 INTRODUCTION Glaciers are bodies of ice and snow, which are normally pre-sent above the snow line. Glaciers are also repositories of information for exploring climate changes, as they remain sensitive to global temperature conditions. This is indicated by the continuous retreat of glaciers, and the formation of many glacial lakes at the toe of glaciers dammed by loose moraine. A glacial lake is defined as water mass existing in sufficient quantities and extending with a free surface in, under, beside, and/or in front of a glacier and originating from glacier activi-ties. Breaching and the instantaneous discharge of water from such lakes can cause flash floods referred to as GLOF (Glacial lake outburst flood) potent enough to create enormous dam-age in the downstream areas and cause havoc for the water resources and hydropower projects. For water resources plan-ning and management, it is therefore essential to study and monitor the glaciers and glacial lakes including GLOF. 1.1 GLOF STUDY FOR TAWANG BASIN PROJECTS1.1 GLOF STUDY FOR TAWANG BASIN PROJECTS1.1 GLOF STUDY FOR TAWANG BASIN PROJECTS1.1 GLOF STUDY FOR TAWANG BASIN PROJECTS 1.1.1 STUDY AREA1.1.1 STUDY AREA1.1.1 STUDY AREA1.1.1 STUDY AREA The project area covers Tawangchu river basin in Arunachal Pradesh located in North-Eastern part of India. Two projects namely, Tawang Stage I and Tawang Stage II are proposed on Tawang River and the part of Tawang basin being considered for study is geographically located between 27°0’25” N and 28°0’25” latitude and 91°0’45’’ to 92°0’30’’ E longitude. The project envisages harnessing the hydropower potential by constructing barrages of about 28 m height at Tawang Stage-I and Tawang Stage-II. Since a large part of the project catchment lies above permanent snow line, it was obligatory to study the glacial lakes and the impact of GLOF if any, while working out the spillway capacity. 1.1.2 GLACIAL LAKES IN TAWANG BASIN1.1.2 GLACIAL LAKES IN TAWANG BASIN1.1.2 GLACIAL LAKES IN TAWANG BASIN1.1.2 GLACIAL LAKES IN TAWANG BASIN A study titled “Inventory of glacial lakes and water bodies in Tawang river basin using latest satellite remote sensing data” was got carried out by National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Hyderabad for identification of glacial lakes in the catchment. A total of 121 glacial lakes were identified in the study area by NRSC using LISS-III satellite images. A catch-ment plan of Tawang river basin showing the various glacial lakes upto Tawang Stage-II is enclosed as Plate-I. For the required analysis a major hurdle that one encounters is: which lakes are large enough to cause a concern and out of these which are the ones that are potentially hazardous. Whereas the answer to the first part of the question is not very difficult, but identifying the lakes that are potentially dangerous is a different and difficult preposition. Glacial lakes having smaller
area but located near to the project site may have a larger haz-ard potential than lakes having larger area but located far away from the project site, on account of less travel time and routing reach. 1.1.3 IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS LAKE1.1.3 IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS LAKE1.1.3 IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS LAKE1.1.3 IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS LAKE The principal factors that help in assessing the hazard potential of the lakes are: 1. Large lake size and rapid growth in area. 2. Increase in lake water level. 3. Activity of supra-glacial lakes at different times. 4. Position of the lakes in relation to moraines and associated glacier. 5. Dam condition 6. Glacier condition 7. Physiographic conditions of dam surroundings such as: a) No drainage outlet or outlet not well defined. b) Height of moraine condition of associated glacier lakes. c) Narrow crest area. d) Steepness of slope of moraine walls etc. Using these principles various lakes were examined and eliminated for being non-hazardous. However the fact that most of these lakes were located in the Tibet region of China, complicated the matter further because there was no possibility of physical assessment of lakes. So the value of flood due to bursting of glacial lakes was estimated starting with the largest lake in the catchment named “Nara Yu Tsho” having an area of 23.68 sq.km (Figure-I). The flood due to GLOF is added with the design flood due to design storm for deciding the inflow flood; the combination being referred to as check flood; meaning thereby that if a feasible spillway is not able to pass the entire flood without overtopping then what are the steps one can or cannot take to mitigate the effect of such overtopping. A rough estimate made using empirical relations by Huggel, Clauge & Mathews etc., to know the discharge generated due to GLOF of this lake showed a value of about 57000 cumec.

The spillway capacity required to account for the flood due to GLOF and the flood due to design storm in this case would have been enormous, thus making the project unviable. This being a car-dinal point in feasibility of the project, various agencies involved in GLOF related study were ap-proached including International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD). Thereaf-ter, the two largest lakes having an area of 23.68 sq.km and 2.59 sq.km could be eliminated on the basis of the opinion of ICIMOD that these lakes are slowly drying out and no glacier feeding the lake is visible in the catchment. Similar views were expressed by NRSC and Central Water Commis-sion (CWC). Each lake was then examined one by one and the hazardous ones were segregated on basis of some of the criteria mentioned above. Accordingly, a glacial lake having an area of 49.34 Ha and located at a distance of about 40 km from Tawang Stage-I was considered to be potentially hazardous and similar views were expressed by CWC. Thus this glacial lake has been considered for carrying out the GLOF study for both Tawang Stage-I and Stage-II. 1.1.4 GLOF SIMULATION1.1.4 GLOF SIMULATION1.1.4 GLOF SIMULATION1.1.4 GLOF SIMULATION Assuming certain breach parameters and entire volume of the lake to be released upon breaching, the dam break study was carried out using MIKE-11 software to determine the flood hydrograph at lake Site and various downstream locations along the river. As the glacial lake out bursting may be associated with a flood event, the flood due to GLOF is routed along with 100 year flood and aver-age flood. The total flood peak due to GLOF and 100 year flood is given below in TableTableTableTable----1. 1. 1. 1.

1.2 CONCLUSION1.2 CONCLUSION1.2 CONCLUSION1.2 CONCLUSION Based on the above study, it is evident that GLOF could create a flood as large as 100 year flood and therefore a similar analysis and study is recommended for derivation of design floods of pro-jects located in glacial lakes dominated areas. However, as evident in this case, it is felt that the potential hazard rating of glacial lakes is an important factor for GLOF study as simply considering the largest lake in the catchment as potential to generate GLOF may sometimes hamper the viability of the project. It would be ideal if a ground verification of the lakes could be carried out using appro-priate means, nevertheless remote sensing data as well as critical analysis of Physiography of the glacial lakes could lead to near correct solution.

Tunnels are constructed in mountainous terrain in order to negotiate high ranges and reduce the road length. They are also introduce to avoid passage through snow bound area or pass below sea, creeks and rivers or even to cross thickly populated urban area. A road tunnel may be considered in open country on environmental ground to protect area of ecological interest. The fundamental objective of road tunnel is to ensure safe transit of the road traffic in difficult terrain. The decision to introduce a tunnel in road net work largely depends upon cost benefit ratio, traffic volume and impor-tance of road. Rohtang highway tunnel across Rohtang Pass near Manali in Kullu district is presently under construction. It is a single tube, two lane, bi-directional 8.8 km tunnel. The main objec-tive of this tunnel is to provide all weather connectivity be-tween Manali and Keylong, the head quarter of Lahul-Spiti district which presently remains cut off for nearly six month in a year. The commissioning of this tunneling project will add a new era of economic development for Lahul valley. 1.0 INTRODUCTION1.0 INTRODUCTION1.0 INTRODUCTION1.0 INTRODUCTION Increasing population and urbanization in India particularly in Himalayas as well as defence strategies are creating enor-mous pressure for development of infrastructural facilities like road transportation and hydropower generation. The de-velopment of underground infrastructure has played a signifi-cant role in economic development of Himalayan region. The growth in hydropower sector in hill states has resulted in construction of several tunnels, but due to non-accessibility in hill areas falling in zone of Greater Himalayas like Lahul Valley in Himachal Pradesh has suffered in the economic development, although the land occupied by habitats is fer-tile, but the area is still economically back ward. In order to boast the economy and also as part of defence strategy, Government of India, Ministry of Defence decided to explore possibility of constructing a highway tunnel to have better connectivity between Manali (HP), Leh (Ladakh) and Srinagar (J&K). In this regards as first attempt to have proper link between Spiti valley/Ladakh region and Kullu valley of Himachal Pradesh it has been decided to provide an 8.80km long tunnel across Rohtang pass to have all weather connectivity. 2.0 IMPORTANT FEATURES OF ROHTANG TUNNEL2.0 IMPORTANT FEATURES OF ROHTANG TUNNEL2.0 IMPORTANT FEATURES OF ROHTANG TUNNEL2.0 IMPORTANT FEATURES OF ROHTANG TUNNEL

Kallanai Grand AnicutKallanai Grand AnicutKallanai Grand AnicutKallanai Grand Anicut
The Kallanai Grand Anicut Kallanai Grand Anicut Kallanai Grand Anicut Kallanai Grand Anicut is an ancient dam built on the Kaveri River in the 2nd century by Chola king, KarikalanKarikalanKarikalanKarikalan. It is located 24km from Tiruchira-pali in Tamil Nadu. This dam is considered as one of the oldest water-diversion cum water-regulator structures in the world, which is in use even today. This massive structure was remodeled and rein-forced by Britishers. It is 329m long, 20m wide and 5.4 m high. Built from unhewn stone, the purpose of the dam was to divert the waters of the Kaveri across the fertile Delta region for irrigation via canals.
Sir Arthur Cotton, arguably the most famous civil engineer dur-ing British period improvised the dam and used its design for 19th century irrigation works on the same river system. Grand Anicut is the oldest functioning irrigation works in the world .
Charles Peter Berkey recognized as first Engineering Geologist
was born on March 25, 1867 in Indiana, USA. He completed his
Masters in Geology in 1893 and was awarded PhD in Geology by
University of Minnesota in 1897. After working for six years as
instructor of Mineralogy at Minnesota University, during 1903 he
moved to New York City where he joined Columbia University as
tutor in Geology and subsequently rose to the position of Profes-
sor in 1916. During 1929 he was elected as Newberry Professor
of Geology and became Professor Emeritus in 1938 thus leading
an active professional life at least upto 15 years after retirement.
Professor Berkey was an inspiring and popular teacher. He took
keen interest in geological field observations at the same time he
introduced philosophy of interpretive petrography in a new course
named “Applied Petrography” where he taught practical aspect of
geological science by interpretation of history of rock in terms of
environment and episodes which could adduce their present
character.
Charles Berkey was introduced to Engineering Geology during his
early days at Columbia University by Professor James F. Kemp,
who was the chairman of Geology Department and a consultant
to the Metropolitan Board of Water Supply for the city of New
York. He became Kemp’s able assistant and subsequently his
acknowledged successor in one of the most prestigious water
supply project known as Catskill Aqueduct project. The Catskill
project was unusual for that time as it involved construction of
150km of aqueduct (cut & cover and grade tunnel), 34 access
shafts, several dams for creation of reservoirs etc. The entire wa-
ter flow derived from the reservoirs was to pass beneath the Hud-
son River into 28kms of distribution tunnels constructed within
the rock of New York City. Prof. Berkey’s contribution during the
design and construction of this project was in the form of provid-
ing critical geological information to the engineers. His explana-
tions of geological facts were simple such that it could be easily
understood and backed by thorough reasoning they formed basis
of several important decisions. This project established him as an
Engineering Geologist in an era prelude to an era of Engineering
Geology.
Berkey gave geological consultation for several engineering pro-
jects of that period wherein he showed extraordinary experience
and maturity by providing solutions that worked and recognized
geological science as inherent part of civil engineering construc-
tion. He always insisted that Geology involved with every engi-
neering project should be studied thoroughly, scientifically, in
great detail and with imagination. He demonstrated complete
understanding of local geology, sound judgment and trans-
lated them into practical recommendations with unusual abil-
ity to grasp attention.
An event of great disaster took place in 1928 when St. Fran-
cis Dam located in southern California failed resulting in tre-
mendous loss of lives and property. This disaster resulted in
government legislations wherein Engineering Geological in-
puts became mandatory for engineering construction. During
this time designing and planning of another large dam project
called Boulder Dam (later came to be known as Hoover Dam)
was in advance stage. Hoover dam involved construction of
huge tunnels, enormous excavation in rock, large amount of
concrete aggregates etc. The design and construction of this
large dam with great height (221m) and huge weight (more
than 6.6 million tons) along with the maximum water pres-
sure of 45,000 pounds per square foot at the dam base was
bound to impose technical difficulties.
Prof. Berkey’s assistance was sought for geological appraisal
of Hoover dam. During 1928 President Coolidge appointed
him as member of the Colorado River Commission where he
was responsible to pass upon the plans and designs of
Hoover Dam. Professor Berkey’s greatest contribution in this
mega dam and several subsequent engineering projects was
that he has given engineers their first insight into the pecu-
liarly intimate relationship between Geology and Civil engi-
neering. During design and construction of Hoover dam,

“A dam that is built, a tunnel that is constructed, a mine that
is developed, a bridge, pier, or other heavy structure that is
located, or a natural resource that is exploited without due
regard for all the geological conditions has not the same
certainty of success that attends a proper consideration of
these factors”

Berkey’s recommendation w.r.t. suitability of abutment and
foundation rock to hold the highest dam of that time bears its
testimony to the fact that the dam itself stands even today as a
silent witness to the value of his good judgment.
Later on Berkey gave geological consultation for several
engineering projects of public importance including three of
the World’s highest dam’s viz., Shasta (183m), Hungry Horse
(172m) and Grand Coulee (167.6m). In 1941 he was elected
as an honorary member of the American Society of Civil
Engineers as recognition of his great contribution to engineer-
ing science and Geology. During the same year he became the
President of Geological Society of America. In the year 1948 he
received Kemp Medal from Dwight D. Eisenhower,
President of Columbia University for his distinguished public
service in Geology. But the most gratifying recognition that
Professor Berkey acknowledged without doubt was the
demand by engineers for his advice and assistance.
Prof. Berkey has championed the task of winning for Geology
its present recognition as an inseparable accompaniment of
Civil Engineering. The leadership assumed by him in the field of
Engg. Geology is largely described in the memorial volume on
Application of Geology to Engineering Practice also known as
Berkey Volume published by Geological Society of America in
1950.
DR. CHARLES P. BERKEY ( Contd. from page-10)
The views presented by Professor Berkey on imparting training
for Engineering Geologist of future is most significant and
relevant even today. He said “The best training for the men
who are to do work in this field of Engineering and Mining
Geology is the educational foundation given to engineers, and
the best additional training is connected with the fundamental
engineering subjects. This must be accomplished by a
thorough working knowledge of Geology almost equivalent to
that given to a doctorate candidate.”
