Preface
Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and
growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that
development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in
order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound
basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying
research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this
reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the
Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web
enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS.
India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india-
wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in a
standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and
analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning,
development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).
Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the
holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for
management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has
developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by
human interventions. The multiple uses of water and varying demands on a river basin require an
integrated approach to managing river basin.
Basin wise report generation is one the important deliverables of India-WRIS project. Report of West flowing rivers from Tapi to Tadri basin describes systematically the present status of water resources: major water resources projects, hydro-meteorological observations, surface and ground water development scenario, topographic characteristics, climatic variability, land use / land cover pattern & allied natural resources along with socio-economic profile of the basin. The report contains valuable latest information of the basin on all aspects of water resources and allied sectors and will be useful as baseline information for the irrigation officials, hydrologists, agriculturalists, conservationists, research organizations and all those involved in the development of West flowing rivers from Tapi to Tadri basin.

1. Introduction
1.1 Overview of basin The basin is bounded on the north by the ridge separating it from the Tapi basin, on the Western Ghats,
on the south by the Indian Ocean and on the west by the Arabian Sea. The basin covers parts of
Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Goa and Union Territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu
having an area of 55,940 Sq.km with maximum length and width of 796 km and 137 km. As shown in
Fig.1 nearly 56% of the total basin is covered in Maharashtra state, while 19.21% of Karnataka, 16% of
Gujarat, 0.81% of Dadar &Nagar Haveli & 0.1% of Daman & Diu.
Being a coastal based basin, the various rivers of basin does not meet into one major stream; rather they
flow independently and drain directly into the Arabian Sea. The independent rivers in the basin are the
Purna, the Ambika, the Damanganga, the Vaitarna, the Ulhas, the Amba, the Savitri, the Vashishti, the
Kajvi, the Vaghotan, the Gad, the Mandavi, the Kalinadi, the Gangavali (Bedti) and the Tadri.
The major part of basin is covered with agriculture accounting to 43.95% of the total area while 4.70% of
the basin area is covered by water bodies. Some important water resource project is Tillari, Bhivpuri,
Bhira, Vaitarna, Kalinadi, Kadra, Kodasalli, Supa and Linganamakki etc. Source: (India-WRIS, 2012. River
Basin Atlas of India, RRSC-West, NRSC, ISRO, Jodhpur, India).
The basin is further divided into 2 sub-basins namely Bhatsol and others and Vasishti and others. The
Bhatsol and others sub basin which covers 29348 Sq.km and Vasishti and others sub basin which covers
27473 Sq.km area.

Figure 1. State-wise Basin area
1.2 Topography Physiographically the region is distinct strip of low land, interspersed by hills, rising in elevation to 150m
and at places, to more than 300m. It is composed one or more of the following elements of the
landscape, sandy beaches, coastal sand dunes or mud flats, alluvial tracts along rivers or lagoons or
estuary, Laterite platforms, erosional surfaces in the hard basement rock or the residual hills. The
Sahaydris rising in elevation between 760m and 1,220m run almost continuously parallel and present
their steep face to lowlands. Its continuity is interrupted by the presence of a few Ghats or gaps like the
Thal and Bhor. The steep west–facing scrap of the Sahaydris, according to some geologists, is the
product of faulting which preceded the subsidence of the Arabian Sea block between India and Africa.
Raised beaches and planes of marine erosion of earlier times are found at altitudes varying from 30 to
90m along the western coast of India. The undulating lowlands of the Konkan are 530km long and 30 to
50 Km broad. These are widest near Mumbai. Numerous hills and detached ridges dominate the
lowlands in the area. Two aspect categorize the landscape in the northern Konkan is, the sandy spits
intruding into muddy shallows close to the sea, and low coastal ranges alternating with longitudinal
valleys farther inland. The southern konkan, in contrast, is a rocky and rugged country. Lofty hills and
elevated plateaus, intersected by numerous creeks and navigable streams, are found close to the coast.
In north Karnataka the lowland becomes so narrow that it is confined to small pockets along the lower
courses of the streams.

1.3 Climate The climate of the basin is mainly of the coastal type where the seasonal variation is generally small and
the atmosphere is moist and humid. The climate along the coastal belt is generally hot with a high
degree of humidity reaching up to 90%. In the mountainous region temperature are quite low. The
summer and the winter climate are controlled by the south-west and north-east monsoons and the
autumn and the springs are practically indistinguishable. By the December, the winter sets in. (Source:
Water Year Book, CWC, and 2008-1010. Central Water Commission, New Delhi)
1.3.1 Rainfall
The basin comes under the direct influence of the south-west monsoon and receives heavy and assured
rainfall between June and August. The rainfall gradually decreases from Karnataka in the south to
Gujarat in the north. The south-west monsoon rainfall is usually very heavy. 90% of the rainfall occurs
from June to November. (Source: Water Year Book, CWC, and 2008-1010. Central Water Commission,
New Delhi).
The highest annual rainfall recorded in the Bhastol and other Sub basins in the year 1993 is 2444.42mm
Whereas minimum annual rainfall is recorded in Bhastol and sub basins is 1364.51 mm in the year of
1972, Vasisthi & others sub basin the highest rainfall 2539 .76mm in year of 1975, whereas minimum
annual rainfall is year of 2002 is 1601.7mm as shown in Annexure –II.
In this basin two block Vansada (Navsari) and Dharampur (Valsad) falling in Drought Prone Area Program
(DPAP). (Source: Drought Prone Areas Program, DPAP, MoRD, 2002).

1.3.2 Temperature
In January during the winter season, the mean variation in temperature over the basin’s catchment is
20.0 O C. The northern portions of the basin experience lower temperatures than the southern.
April is generally the hottest month of the summer and January is the coldest month. The mean–max
temperature over the basin varies from 15.69OC to 30OC and goes up to 35.54OC in parts of Gujarat as
shown in Fig 3 .
In the monsoon and post-monsoon seasons, temperatures are moderate and in the range of 22.0 OC to
27.5 OC. In the northern parts, however, temperatures are above 27.5 OC. (Source: Rainfall data: Indian
Meteorological Department).
Figure 2. Monthly average temperature (1969-2004)
1.3.3 Trends and variability
The rainfall data in basin based on the Rainfall gridded daily data (0.5O x 0.5O) for 35 years (1971-2004)
was interpolated to generate a raster layer. Trends have been generated based on area weighted
average and regression analysis techniques. State, district, village and basin wise trends can be
visualized monthly, seasonally and yearly. The rainfall trend graph shows that there is a slight decrease
in the annual rainfall pattern over the years. The highest rainfall in 1983 year is 2688 mm and least
rainfall 1814.17 mm in 1973 as shown in fig 3.

1.4 Major rivers The basin is traversed by many small and fairly big rivers. There are as many rivers as 10 in Karnataka, 3
in Goa, 11 in Maharashtra and 5 in Gujarat are the important. The various rivers in the basin does not
meet into one forming a major stream, rather they flow independently and drains directly into the
Arabian Sea. The independent rivers in the basin are the Purna, the Ambika, the Damanganga, the
Vaitarna, the Ulhās, the Amba, the Savitri, the Vashishti, the Kajvi, the Vaghotan, the Gad, the Mandavi,
the Kalinadi, the Gangavali (Bedti) and the Tadri.(Source: Report of the Irrigation Commission,
1972.Ministry of irrigation and Power, New Delhi).
Some Important Description of these rivers are described below:
(i) Kalinadi River-rises near the village of bidi in the Belgaum district of Karnataka State. The river known
as the Dogi in its upper reaches flows generally in a south-east direction for about 56 Km.up to a point to
the west of the Village of Devikop.The River takes a generally east- West direction and outfalls into the
Karwar bay of the Arabian Sea, near the town of Karwar.
(ii) Mandavi- is an important river of Goa which rises about 10km. north-east of Sons agar in Belgaum
district of Mysore State at an elevation of abut 600m. The main river however, outfalls into the
Marmagao Bay near Panjim, the capital of Goa. The river has a length of 57km. and its Catchment area is
2,032 Sq.km.

(iii) Savitri- rises to the east of Varandha in district Kolaba of Maharashtra State at an elevation of about
600m It flows in a generally south-Western direction to outfall into the Arabian Sea near the village of
Devgardh.It has 5 tributaries. Three of which join it on the right bank and two on the Left Bank. The total
length of the river is about 90 Km and its catchment area is 2,257 Sq.Km.
(iv) Ulhas- rises to the east of Varandha in district Kolaba of Maharashtra State at elevation of about
600m. It flows in a generally South –Western direction up to Vangani where it marks an S-turn. It then
flows for about 24km. This river flows a serpentine course in east-west direction two important
tributaries, the Bhastsai and the kalu join it near Titwala and their combine’s waters join the Ulhās just
north of kalian.
(v) Vaitarna-rises north of the village of Jarvar in Nasik district of Maharashtra State at an elevation of
800m. It flows for about 20km in a generally north- south direction with one sharp bend, where after it
follows a south-west course for about 42km up to the village of Vada. About 6 Km.Lower down, the
Pinjal joins from the right.
(vi)Ambika-rises near the village of Jamdar in the Dangs district of Gujarat state at an elevation of 600m.
The river flows in a generally north –westerly direction for 36km up to the village of Pimpri. Thereafter
the direction of flows is generally east-west, for about 85 km. The river then makes circle and flows in a
north-south direction till Billimora, receiving two tributaries.
(vii)Purna- rises just north-west of the village of Varse district Dhulia of Maharashtra State at an
elevation of 500m. The River flows in a generally east-west direction for 4km and then takes a turn
towards the north-west. About 14km lower tributary joins it on its right bank. Flowing on in an east-
west direction it receives another tributary joins it on its left, near the village of Ranvery. Then taking a
sharp bend and flowing westwards it outfalls into the Gulf of Cambay near Matwad.

agriculture is the mainstay of the people. The forests are mainly of the Tropical monsoon Variety. The
natural vegetation comprises tropical and moist deciduous forests. About 4.70% of the basin is covered
by water bodies. The river and its tributaries have the major contribution to the land use class
“Waterbodies”. Damanganga, Tillari, Surya are some of the large Waterbodies / reservoirs with
considerable reservoir / submergence area in the basin falling into this class. Wasteland covers nearly
12% of the total area of the basin along with 3.24% of built up land as shown in table 4. (Source: Agro

1.6 Soils There are seven major types of soils in the Basin area; (i) Alluvial soil, (ii) Coarse Sandy Soil, (iii) Red Soil,
(iv) Peaty Soil, (v) Black Soil, (vii) Forest Soils. They occur in belts parallel to one another along the coast
and are closely associated with both the physiographic and geological formations. They are Sandy soil,
alluvial soil, coarse sandy soil, Laterite soil or red soil, peaty soil, Black soil, forest soil. The sandy soil is
found close to the sea beach throughout the region. The soil in Karnataka is often associated with
alluvium and outwash materials from the parent laterite. (Source: Agro-Ecological of India, Indian a
Regional Geography 1971, Singh.R.L.India A regional Geography, 1971.Varansi).
The major soils of the region include red and Lateritic soils along the leeward flank of Sahaydris and the
alluvium- derived soils in the coastal plains.
(i) Soil Texture- Few green portions as shown in Map 6 of the basin indicates clay loamy, sandy clay soil.
While most of the basin is covered with silt sandy loamy soil.
(ii) Soil Erosion-Around 59% of the area is covered with severe soil erosion as shown in Map7 While
others with Slight and Moderate Erosion.
(iii) Soil Productivity-50% of the is area non-productive only 18% of the regions are highly productive as
shown in Map 8. The laterite soil is often gravelly and sandy, containing only a very low proportion of
clay. Both the Laterite and red soil are highly acidic, rich in iron, titanium and manganese oxides but
poor in lime and organic content. Consequently, these are either sterile or poor fertility status.
(iv) Soil Slope-As shown in Map 9. Most of the region consists of steep slope causing runoff, leads to
severe soil erosion.

1.7 Agro-climatic zones
An agro-climatic zone is a land unit in terms of major climate, and growing period which is climatically
suitable for a certain range of crops and cultivars. The climate of the basin is mainly of the coastal type
where the seasonal variation is generally small and the atmosphere is moist & humid.
Agro- Climatic Zone- The climate of the is typified by tropical conditions and characterized by hot and
humid summers and warm winters. The mean annual temperature varies between 250C and 280C. The
mean summer and winter soil temperatures differ by less than 50C. It consists of Four Agro- climatic
zones including Gujarat plains and hilly regions, Western Plateau and hilly region, Southern Plateau and
hilly region & West Coast Plains and Ghats Region. As shown in Map10. (Source: Agro climatic zones:
planning Commission, New Delhi. India).
1.8 Agro-ecological zones Agro- Ecological Zone- is per se an agro- ecological region, Superimposed of land form and kinds of soils
conditions that act as modifiers of climate and length of growing period, i.e. moisture availability period,
for crop environmental needs. Soil is composed of minerals, mixed with some organic matter, which
differ from its parent materials in terms of its texture, structure, consistency, colour, chemical, biological
and other characteristics. Information on the soil profile is also required for simulating the hydrological
character of the basin. The available information on soil survey conducted in the basin indicates that
black soils are red, alluvium, derived soils & Latritite soil as shown in Map 11.(Source: Agro climatic
regions: Agro-ecological Regions of India, Technical Bulletin,NBSS).

3.2.4 Command area and canals network
The water is to be transported across landscape to deliver the water to the respective command areas
for irrigation in the basin. This practice is done using canals, man-made channels for conveyance of
water. For the same construction of various irrigation structures are necessary to negotiate terrain
including drains, road, and rail lines. These important irrigation structures are Regulators, Bridge,
Aqueduct / Syphon Aqueduct, Super passage / Syphon, Level crossing / Inlets and Outlets, and Other
Cross drainage Structures. Regulators control the supply to an off taking channel from the parent
channel.
Culturable Command area defined as the total cultivated and uncultivated area which can be irrigated
economically from a canal scheme by flow of lift irrigation on the supposition that unlimited water
supply is available.
There are 8 Major commands and 18 Medium Commands in the Tapi to Tadri Basin. Some Major and
Medium commands as shown in Map 15 are Major includes Ukai-Kakrapar, Jhuj, Baripada, Damanganga,
Surya, Tillari etc. While Medium commands are Dosawda, Kelia, Baripada, Ugta, Anjunem etc. Some of

4. Ground water resources Water is essential to sustain agricultural growth and productivity. Groundwater is the water below the
surface of the earth that occurs in soil pores and in cracks and fissures in rocks. Typically, ground water
is liquid flowing water but the definition also includes soil moisture, perma-frost (frozen soil) and water
trapped in very low permeability bed rocks. A unit of rock containing a usable amount of water is
termed as an aquifer. Groundwater is refurbished from the surface and eventually flows back to the
surface in the form of springs or oases. The occurrence of ground water generally depends upon the
rainfall, drainage, topography and the geological conditions of the area.
4.1 Ground water observation wells The Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) maintains a network of total 414 ground water observation
wells in the basin for study of groundwater behavior. The spatial distribution of ground water
observation wells is shown in the Map.17.
These wells show four seasonal water level data viz., pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon and post-
monsoon (Rabi).According Sub- basin distribution there are 212 wells located in Bhastol and other sub–
basin and 202 in Vasisthi and sub Basin as mentioned in Table 9. (Source: Central Ground Water Board.)

4.2 Ground water level fluctuation Water table undergoes a seasonal fluctuation following a natural cycle. Water table rises during rainy
season due to recharge received from rainfall and falls back during summer season due to lack of
recharge and continuing extraction of groundwater. In geohydrology, the highest water level is referred
to as the post-monsoon water level and the lowest level in summer as pre-monsoon water level. The
difference between highest water level value and lowest water level value is termed as fluctuation in
ground water level; this value can be positive as well as negative depending upon various factors.
The occurrence of ground water generally depends upon the rainfall, drainage, topography and the
geological conditions of the area. Ground water fluctuation in the is assessed for recharge and draft
conditions based on the available groundwater level in four different seasons. Groundwater recharge is
estimated by the difference between pre and post monsoon seasons. Similarly, groundwater draft is
estimated by the difference between post-monsoon and post-monsoon (Rabi) seasons data.
Interpolated maps for groundwater recharge and irrigation draft (Rabi) are prepared based on the
available groundwater fluctuation data in the basin.
The groundwater fluctuation map.18 shows the fluctuation of water level due to recharge in the basin
for the year 2011 .The fluctuation map shows that there is a rise of >4 meters in the parts of Gujarat
(Navsari, The Dangs, Valsad and Surat) falling in the basin. However, area near Silvassa shows a rise of 2-
4 m bgl due to recharge.
The districts in Maharashtra (Thane, Raigarh, Ratangiri, Sindhudurg) falling in the basin shows a rise of
<2m bgl metre due to recharge in most of the parts of the basin. However, area near Mumbai
(Suburban) shows a contrasting rise of >4m bgl meters due to recharge.
The groundwater fluctuation map.19 shows the fluctuation of water level due to draft in the basin.
There is fall in groundwater level due to negative fluctuation ,there is fall < 2 m bgl in major parts of
basin but the area near Mumbai suburban is showing a major fall where fall > 4 m bgl due to water
fluctuation is noticed (Source: India Water Resources Information System: www.india-wris.nrsc.gov.in).

4.3 Litholog well locations An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials
(gravel, sand, or silt) from which groundwater can be extracted using a water well. Related terms
include aquitard, which is a bed of low permeability along an aquifer and aquiclude (or aquifer), which is
a solid, impermeable area underlying or overlying an aquifer. If the impermeable area overlies the
aquifer pressure could cause it to become a confined aquifer. Aquifers may occur at various depths.
Those closer to the surface are not only more likely to be used for water supply and irrigation, but are
also more likely to be topped up by the local rainfall. Many desert areas have limestone hills or
mountains within them or close to them that can be exploited as groundwater resources. There is no
Aquifer data available for the basin. Source : (India water resources information system: www.india-
wris.nrsc.gov.in)
5. Hydro-meterological observations Meteorology and hydrology compose the interdisciplinary field of hydrometeorology. Systematic and
scientific hydrological observation and other water resources data collection forms the basic need in
the rational assessments of the surface water resources of river basins, which is one of the foremost
inputs for the overall planning and devolvement of the basin.
There are total 32-Hydro-Meteorology sites in the basin. These stations are established by CWC for
measuring Gauge, Discharge, sediment, water quality. Some of the sites are also measure various
climatic parameters. These stations are mainly established to understand the river dynamics of the
Basin. In addition to these sites some of the sites are directly engage for flood forecasting activity.

5.1 Hydrological observation sites These stations carry out observations about various hydrological parameters as gauge (river water
level), discharge (amount of water released from a cross section in the river in a given time period),
sediment (concentration of solid particles in water) and river water quality pertaining to different quality
parameters.
These stations are categorized as ‘GDSQ’, where the abbreviation stands as: G-Gauge, D-Discharge, S-
Sediment and Q-Water Quality. RF stands for rainfall measuring station. Hydrological observations are
carried out by the Central as well as State Governments. The Central Water Commission maintains 6
gauge-discharge sites in the basin.
There are a total of 28 Hydro-observation sites of CWC in the basin. Out of this, 22 are existing sites and
6 are closed sites. In addition to this, there are 4 Rainfall measuring stations of CWC as shown in Table
10. (Source: India water Resources information System: www.india-wris.nrsc.gov.in).

5.2 Flood forecasting sites Central Water Commission, Ministry of Water Resources has set up a network of flood forecasting
stations covering all important flood prone rivers. Flood forecasting indicates the forecast or inflow level
with its time of occurrence. Two kinds of forecasts are issued based on the utility of the forecast. Inflow
forecasts assist in reservoir regulation (full reservoir level & maximum water level) and the level forecast
is used for predicting water level (warning level & danger level) well ahead of its occurrence.
Flood forecasting has been recognized as the most important, reliable and cost effective non-structural
measures for flood mitigation. CWC commenced the flood forecasting service in a small way by establish
flood forecasting unit for issuing water level forecast of the river.
Flood forecasting indicates the forecast or inflow level with its time of occurrence. Two kinds of
forecasts are issued based on the utility of the forecast. Inflow forecasts assist in reservoir regulation
(full reservoir level & maximum water level) and the level forecast is used for predicting water level
(warning level & danger level) well ahead of its occurrence south to Gujarat in the north. The south-west
monsoon rainfall is usually very heavy. 90% of the rainfall occurs from June to November.

5.3 Meteorological stations CWC has established 32 Hydro-Meteorology stations in the basin having meteorological capabilities.
These stations are established to understand the relationship between meteorological parameter and
river dynamics. The basin has eighty nine Indian Meteorological stations (IMD). The integrated approach
of measuring meteorological parameter using automated weather Stations (AWS) is helpful in the
remote region. This AWS station required a minimum maintenance and the data is generated on the
temporal basis. Under the supervision of ISRO, fifty one AWS stations are established in the basin. These
stations are maintained and data stored by the MOSDAC. As shown in Table 12.
There are three main organizations in our country which records meteorological parameters viz., India
Meteorological Department (IMD), Central Water Commission (CWC) and ISRO (Automatic Weather
Stations). Meteorology is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere. Meteorological
phenomena are observable weather events which illuminate, and are explained by the science of
meteorology. The frequent excess of meteorological data are unusually important when data associated
with events that can result in loss of life and destruction of property such as severe rainfall, storms,
must be carefully monitored spatially in order to issue timely and accurate warnings.

6. Water quality
6.1 Surface water quality observations Observation stations to provide information on water quality of surface water bodies, viz., rivers, lakes,
etc. are maintained by two apex organizations namely, Central Water Commission (CWC) and Central
Pollution Control Board (CPCB). CWC stations carry out observations for testing the surface water quality
pertaining to sixty eight water quality parameters which are considered to be the ‘Standard Hydrology
Project Water Quality Parameters’. All physical, chemical and biological water quality parameters are
categorized further under sub categories like field determinations, nutrients, organic matter, alkalinity,
hardness, other inorganics, major ions, coliforms and others.

There are 8-Surface water quality observations sites of CWC located in the basin. Out of this, two sites
(Gadat and Mahuwa) are located in Gujarat, four sites (Badlapur, Belne Bridge, Mangaon and Durvesh)
located in Maharashtra and two sites (Hillur and Santeguli) are located in Karnataka. (Source: India
Water Resources Information System: wris.nrsc.gov.in).
6.2 Ground water quality observations Ground water usually contains large amounts of dissolved substances (minerals) because it percolates
(slowly filters) through rock and soil formations. The greater the depth below ground from which the
ground water comes, the higher the level of dissolved minerals in the water. However, since it
percolates through the earth, ground water contains relatively small quantities of suspended impurities
and very little colour.
Occurrence of fluoride in ground water has been observed in Dharwad, Shimonga districts of Karnataka
and Navsari, Surat, Valsad districts of Gujarat. Nitrate is a very common constituent in the ground water,
especially in shallow aquifers. The source is mainly from man-made activities.
There are 110 well locations where ground water quality is measured in the basin.

7. Inter basin transfer links
The Par-Tapi-Narmada Link -There is one Inter Basin Transfer Link which crosses the Narmada basin.
Proposes to transfer surpluses available between Par and Tapi to water deficit areas in north Gujarat. It
will transfer 1,350 Mcum of water through a canal of length 401 km. by gravity. The total length of the
link canal is sub-divided into two reaches viz. Par-Tapi (211 km including 5.5 km. tunnel and 33.3 Km.
Feeder length), and Tapi -Narmada (190.1 km). The link from Par to Tapi starts with a tunnel connecting
Mohankavchali reservoir to Paikhed weir. The open channel link starts from Paikhed weir and drops into
Ukai reservoir. The Tapi-Narmada portion of the link starts from Ukai reservoir crosses Narmada River
and terminates at the Miyagam branch canal of Narmada main canal as shown in Map22.( Source:
National Water Development Agency).

9. Conclusion The report has been prepared using state of art space technology viz. Remote Sensing and GIS
techniques. Basin, sub basin and watersheds, derived using DEM are used as hydrology unit in a very
scientific manner. The administrative boundaries of Survey of India have been used.IMD gridded data
for climate trend analysis and CWC data for water resources projects have been used for this study.
Under India-Wris project, entire country river basin and sub-basin boundaries have been delineated and
in the present report Tapi basin and its various aspects are described.
This Basin consists of Dams-219 nos., Weirs-3 nos., reservoirs-209 nos., Lifts-1 no., Power House-18 nos.
The major reservoir consists of Supa in the basin, having the height of 101m and Longest Dam is Morbe
having the length of 3420m.
There are 32-Hydrometrolocial sites in the basin. Gauge and Discharge observations at the various sites
should be continued on a permanent basis, to obtain data essential not only for the preparation of
individual projects but also for the regulation of available river water and flood forecasting &
management.
The major part of basin is covered with agriculture land accounting to 43% of the total area and second
major part of basin is covered with forest accounting to 35.15% of the total area.
Mean annual rainfall in the basin accounts to 2369.43mm mm. The utilizable surface water resources
inTapi to Tadri is 11.9 BCM. The highest Dam in the basin as per India-WRIS is Supa Dam Having height
of 101m and Largest Dam Morbe Dam having the length of 3420m.
There are seven major types of soils in the Basin area; (i) Alluvial soil, (ii) Coarse Sandy Soil, (iii) Red Soil,
(iv) Peaty Soil, (v) Black Soil, (vii) Forest Soil. They occur in belts parallel to one another along the coast
and are closely associated with both the physiographic and geological formations.
With the available information, the study provides detailed insight of the basin specific to water
resources. It can be used for Basin level sustainable development and integrated water resources
management (IWRM).
