HISTORY OF THE PROJECT

• In 1941 Polavaram Project was first contemplated
  by Sri L.Venkata krishna Iyer ,the then Chief
  Engineer of Combined Madras State for FRL _at_150
  ft .

7

• From 1942 to 1946 detailed investigations were
  carried out for the following proposals.
• 1) FRL 170 ft Storage 340 TMC
• 2) FRL 192 ft Storage 588 TMC
• 3) FRL 198 ft Storage 693 TMC
• 4) FRL 208 ft Storage 836 TMC

8

• 13 Alternative Sites were studied by Eminent
  Engineers across the Globe and finally decided
• for the project at FRL198 ft and likely to be
  raised to 208 ft with 836 TMC storage capacity
• ( This is named as Rama pada sagar )

9

• Eminent Foreign Engineers visited Project Site
• 1) Dr. J.L.Salvage , C.E/USBR,U.S.A
• 2) Dr. Karl Terzaghi, Father of Soil
  Mechanics,Harvard UniversityU.S.A
• 3) Dr. S.O.Harper, C.E,USBR,U.S.A
• 4) Sir Murdoch Mac Donald, Consulting Engineer,U.K

10
Eminent Engineers from India

• 1.Sri Sonti Rama Murty Pantulu
• 2.Sri Mokshagundam visweswarayya
• 3.Dr. K.L.Rao
• 4. Sri K.Srirama Krishnayya
• 5. Sri J.A.Murrey

11

• Cost of the project in 1946 Rs.125 Crores
  (Differed because of the financial constraints)
• Had it been implemented the lands from Srikakulam
  to Nellore might have been Irrigated with
  utilisation of 1250 TMC

12

• After Independence again,The Polavaram Prroject
  has lost its chance at the tie with Nagarjuna
  Sagar Project in Dec1955
• Third time Polavaram project was denied in
  preference to Sriram Sagar Project in July 1963

13

• Govt. of India has constituted GWDT under the
  Chairmanship of Sri Bachawat in 1969 and the
  Tribunal has given the award in 1978 and its
  modified final award in 1980. In accordence with
  the award agreements were concluded by all the
  involved states.

14

• In 1978 the first Agreements were concluded with
  Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa states
  for FRL 150 ft.with the initiation of sri
  Jalagam vengala rao.
• In 1980 all the concerned C.Ms were concluded
  agreements regarding the submersion and Sri
  T.Anjaiah,The Honble Chief Minister of AP has
  laid the foundation stone on 19-05-1981(Rs. 750
  Crores).

15

• In 1983 the first proposal of the project was
  submitted to C.W.C New Delhi for approval.
• In 1997 Inter State meeting was convened by CWC
  and Orissa asked for joint survey.
• In 2000-01 APERL,Hyderabad has submitted the
  project details to all the inter states.
• The A.P Govt has deposited money with Orissa
  Govt for conducting public hearing and with
  Chattisgarh Govt for joint survey.Both the Govts
  are not responding.

16

• The project was grounded in 2004 after 62 years
  of its first thought.(Foundation stone was laid
  on (05- 09- 2004)
• By 2008 the AP Govt has got all the clearences of
  20 Directorates of CWC and finally TAC clearence
  in 2/2009.

17

• Immediately after TAC Clearence proposals were
  submitted to Govt. of India for considering
  Polavaram Project as National Project and in
  principle the same was accepted
• Due to political pressure from Telangana leaders
  and other states the proposals were again
  referred to financial clearence for the revised
  cost , Final TAC clearence was also given on
  24-1-2011.
• On ORISSAS case the SC has appointed experts
  comitte (Gopal Krishnan committee 2012)to study
  if there are any deviations by AP on Batchavat
  tribunal award and the comitte has reported that
  there are no deviations.
  
  

18

• In the last 7 years so many hurdles were created
  by so many groups and with their behest other
  states also filed so many cases against this
  project in High Courts and Supreme Court.
• In 2004 an alternative proposal for 3 Barrages
  surfaced,but rejected by Expert Engineers
  Committee in 2005 and 2009.CWC also rejected the
  proposal.

19
Reasons For Rejection

• 1 Cost of the Barrages is high.
• 2 Inter linking of rivers is not possible.
• 3 Storage of water is very less
• 4 Power generation is very less
• 5 No gravity flow. Water is to be lifted.
• 6 Construction of Barrages with high gates
• and deeper foundations is difficult.
• 7 Navigation of vessels is not possible as
  contemplated

  cost is Rs.4000 Crores) and awarded to Transtroy.
  
• Work is going on in all packages including
  Spillway,Power house and Earth-Cum- Rockfill DaM
• CEA is objecting for 960 MW power by insisting 45
  years availability of water (once given for on 35
  yrs availability)

47

• The Project is now declared as National Project
  by Govt. of India.on the eve of the state
  bifurcation
• The probable year of completion of the project is
  2018.
• 36 of Overall Project Works are completed by
  6/2014(5202 cr)
• (Spill way--6,Earth Dam-2,Canals-65,Power
  house 3 )

48

• Forest compensation of Rs.472 Crores were paid.
• Land handed over to forest dept---3731 Ha
• RR Packages are in advanced stage.

50

• The Lift Irrigation schemes contemplated in
  Telangana Region upstream of Polavaram Project
  -
• Pranahita Chevella 20,765 Cusecs
• Kanthanapalli 10,000 Cusecs
• Yellampalli 6,000 Cusecs
• Devadula 5,000 Cusecs
• Dummugudem 27,000 Cusecs
• Indira Sagar LI Scheme 1,600 Cusecs
• Rajiv Sagar LI Scheme 1,600 Cusecs
• -------------------------
• Total 71,965 Cusecs
• ------------------------

51

• The average monthly flows in River Godavari
• September 60,000 Cusecs
• October 30,000 Cusecs
• November/December 10,000 Cusecs
• January to May 3,000 Cusecs

52

• The total proposed utilization inTelangana is
  71,965 c/s while the available flows in River
  Godavari are hardly 60,000 c/s in September,
  which dwindle down to 3,000 c/s from January to
  May.

53

• If the Polavaram Project is not completed on
  priority well before the commissioning of the
  upstream projects, the entire delta of 10.20 L
  Acres under Godavari will be affected even for
  Khariff,forget about Rabi.

54
CONSEQUENCES If Polavaram project is not
completed as it is
55

• 1) The concept of Inter Linking of Rivers will be
  defeated. (17 18 Links are in AP)
• 2) No gravity flow for 7.2 L ac
• of new ayacut.
• 3) Without supplementation of 80 TMC of water,
  13.50 Lakh Acres of Krishna delta may not be
  stabilised.

56

• 4) Without 24.0 TMC of
• Water,the Industries in
• and around Visakhapatnam
• will be affected.
• 5) There will be a severe set
• back for drinking water
• facility for Visakhapatnam
• and enrouting villages.

57

• 6) Ayacut of 8.0 L Acres of arid
• and backward Uttarandhra
• districts will be denied irrigation
• water facility permanently.
• 7) Ayacut of 2.0 L acres of upland
  West Godavari(Chintalapudi lift) will be denied
  Irrigation
• 8) 960 MW of Eco friendly power production
  is not possible.

58

• 9) Delta ayacut of 10.50 L acres of East and West
  Godavari districts may not have Rabi in future
  and even Kharif also may experience shortage of
  water from October onwards.
• 10)Entire sea coast lands of East and West
  Godavari will become saline and may not be useful
  for Irrigation

59

• . 11) Rayalaseema districts may not get benifit
  if linkage of rivers is not done.
• 12) Set back for the proposed SEZ between
  KAKINADA and VIZAG.
• 13).For new capital of AP Polavaram is the only
  source.
• 14)

60
TASK AHEAD

• 1.FINALISE ALL FORMALITIES WITHOUT ANY FURTHER
  DELAY AND COMPLETE THE WORK BY 2018
• 2.SEE THAT THE ALLOCATION OF FUNDS TO COMPLETE
  THE PROJECT .
• 3.POLAVARAM WATER ALLOCATION WAS REDUCED FROM
  301 TO 249 TMC. RESTORE IT 301 TMC.
• 4.GET ALLOCATION OF 60 TMC OF WATER FOR
  UTTARANDHRA

61

5. PROTECT THE LOWER RIPARIAN RIGHTS OF KRISHNA
AND GODAVARI DELTA AYACUT AND SAVE IT FROM
BECOMING SALINE. 6. THE POLAVARAM PROJECT IS TO
BE COMPLETED IN ITS PRESENT FORM AND THE CONCEPT
OF BARRAGES MUST BE SHELVED. 7. GET BACK THE
BALANC 4(M) OF BHADRACHALAM Rev Div TO EAST
GODAVARI INCLUDING BHADRACHALAM TOWN. 8.
ALLOCATE 50 TMC of GODAVARI WATERS TO NEW AP
CAPITAL .
