water resources planning.
Introduction
Water available in atmosphere,
oceans, on land and with in soil.
Hydrological cycle main responsible
for this.
water resources engineering
concerned with utilization, control
and quality management of water.

Local level
Planned for a small area or village.
Watershed development plan for
village.
Rain water harvesting technique.
Check dams, village tanks
constructed.
Regional level
Comparatively large area with
several villages.
Construction of irrigation schemes.
State level
When regional level planning covers
several districts of state.
Narmada water supply pipe network
in Saurashtra region.
National level
Water resources planning carried for
major river basin of a river.
Sardar Sarovar dam over river
Narmada beneficiary for Gujarat,
Maharashtra, Madhyapradesh,
Rajasthan.
International level
River running across neighboring
nations planning need at
international level.
River Kosi, rises in Nepal- Himalayas
and flows in Bihar and finally meets
river Ganga.
Statement of objectives
Collection of data
Projections for future
Project formulation
Project evaluation
Statement of objectives
Objective would be based on need of
the region.
For national govt. it may for
achieving maximum economic and
social benefits.
For state govt. it may be to reduce
flood damage.
For village panchayats, it may be for
water supply or irrigation purpose.
Collection of data
(A)General data
()Physical data- location, size,
climate, history, population, etc.
()Hydrological data- precipitation,
evaporation, transpiration, stream
flow, sediment, water quality, etc.
()Geological data- explorations,
geological formations, rock and soil
type, ground water availability,
minerals, erosion, etc.
Projection of future
Water resources project usually
planned to meet future needs.
Projections include future population
growth, land use, water
requirements for various uses, etc.
Projection should be worked out
with great care and caution, because
unrealistic higher values may lead to
over design and excessive
investments.
Project formulation
It needs a lot of imagination and
skill, only done by experienced
planner.
First step, to define boundary
conditions which restrict water
resource project.
Physical limitation, e.g, no
navigation in torrential mountain
river.
Limitations on available water
Project evaluation
Evaluation carried out to select
alternative which is economically
suitable.
Best alternative consists of unit or
combination of units which are
economically most efficient.
For economic evaluation benefits
Positive impacts
Land use improvement by irrigation.
Flood protection.
Improved water supplies for
domestic and municipal uses.
Power supplies without consumption
of fuel.
Water quality improvement.
Fishery improvement.
Recreational improvement.
Health improvement.
Improvement in climate of
surrounding area.
Development of sanctuaries and wild
life.
