YETTINAHOLE PROJECT• A Scheme for diversion of flood water from
west flowing streams in the upper reaches of western ghats near Sakleshpura to provide drinking water to drought prone areas of Tumkur, Bangalore rural, Ramnagara, Kolar & Chikkaballapura districts (East)
CHALLENGES IN HARNESSING
WEST FLOWING STREAMS
12
It is difficult to harness water available in Western Ghats due to
Environmental constraints owing to Presence of Western Ghats.Engineering challengesEconomic viability
Hence, an effort has been made to divert only a meager percentage of water that too from the upper reaches of the Western Ghats close to the plateau.
YETTINAHOLE SCHEME AT A GLANCE
• The streams that have been proposed to be harnessed are listed
below. 1. Yettinahole 6. Yettinahole lower
reach 2. Yettinahole Tributary-1 7. Kerihole 3. Yettinahole Tributary-2 8. Hongadahalla hole 4. Kadumane hole – 1 5. Kadumane hole - 2
YETTINAHOLE SCHEME AT A GLANCE
14
Extent of Watershed Area in Western Ghats of Karnataka – 24,530 Km2
Available Catchments – 13 Present Scheme considers tapping streams which are originating from upper
reaches of Western Ghats near Sakleshpur having an elevation above 730 m.
It is clear from the above schematic representation that a meager percentage of water is being planned to be diverted from West to East for the purpose of meeting the drinking water requirement in the drought prone areas in the present scheme.
YETTINAHOLE SCHEME AT A GLANCE
The present scheme envisages :-
• Simple diversion structures across the stream keeping the maximum
water level restricted within the flanks of the streams.
• A suitable intake structure and lifting arrangements on the foreshores
in order to lift the water only during peak monsoon / floods.
• Dedicated raising main (pipes) buried under the ground to convey
lifted water from the pump house.
15
YETTINAHOLE SCHEME AT A GLANCE
• The pipeline will be routed parallel to existing corridors in order to minimize the
opening of the new corridors.
• The Raising mains will be taken from the intake structure up to Haravanahalli
near Sakleshpura beyond which it is planned to have a gravity canal (250 km)
to convey the water up to Tumkur.
• The alignment of the canal has been planned along the ridge line bifurcating
the Cauvery and Krishna basins.
• A raising main for a length of 8.1 km has been planned to convey the water to
a storage Reservoir, near Devarayanadurga, with a capacity of about 10 TMC.16
YETTINAHOLE SCHEME AT A GLANCE
• From the reservoir two raising mains have been proposed one towards
Chikkaballapura (88.2 km) and other towards Kolar (55.9 km) to provide
drinking water needs and filling of 198 and 139 MI/ZP Tanks respectively in
the above Districts.
Cost
• Based on the line estimate, the Government of Karnataka has accorded
Administrative approval vide GO No ಜಸಂಒ 203 ವಿಭ್ರಾಇ 2012
dated:13.07.2012 - costing about Rs.8323.50 crores for diverting about
24.01 TMC of water.17
YETTINAHOLE PROJECT
UN-FAO PROPOSAL FOR THE CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE IN INDIA:
Key issues ;• improving water governance at the level of irrigation systems and
river basins, as well a ground water and trans boundary levels;• adopting a multi-sectoral strategic planning and management
approach to revision of food security, agriculture, water and environment policies and investment strategies;
• adopting demand driven and service oriented irrigation development and management strategies;
• modernising irrigation systems;• enhancing water productivity for both rain-fed and irrigated
production;• enhancing environmental protection; and• focusing on agro-ecosystems and populations particularly at risk, such
as in tropical deltas and in arid or semi-arid areas.
