2.1 Need for the project
SIMIP is proposed to irrigate dry lands in villages of Savanur Taluk of Haveri district.
The villages coming under this scheme are drought affected and agriculture is the
only source of livelihood and income. The annual average rainfall is 484 mm which is
primarily during the monsoon season (June - September). uncertainty within a year
causes the agriculture a risky venture. Savanur Taluk of Haveri District are considered
to be the more backward taluk. The people of the region have no other
employment opportunities except agriculture. Hence providing irrigation and
stabilizing the agricultural production, provides a much needed relief to the people.
It improves the per capita income and standard of living of the people. Further it
utilizes the water and land resources and substantially improves GDP contribution
from agriculture.
Therefore, there is a need of the scheme which could benefit the drought affected
area and shall also improve the Irrigation potential and Socio-Economic conditions
of the Haveri District. In this regard, SIMIP is considered to be the feasible in terms of
causing least environmental impacts among various alternatives considered in the
past few decades.
2.2 Water availability
Central Water Commission (CWC) maintaining a gauging station at Marol on
Varada river located upstream of its confluence with Tungabhadra river. The
catchment area of river Varada at this point is 4902 Sq.km. About 35.15 TMC of
water is available at SIMIP site. Out of which, it is proposed to divert 1.5 TMC of water
between July-December to irrigate 15500 Ha of dry lands in Savanur Taluk, Haveri
District.

3. Description of baseline environment
Collecting the baseline environmental status of the project area helps to ascertain the
magnitude of impacts that are likely to be caused due to the proposed project on
different environmental components. It also helps to identify critical environmental
attributes required to be monitored during and after the proposed development. To
assess the baseline environmental status, command area, 10 Km radius from the main
project components were considered and the data was collected during the period
Summer Season (March to May, 2015), Monsoon Season (June to August 2015) and
Winter Season (September to November, 2015). In addition to the baseline
environmental monitoring, field inspection in the study area, collection of secondary
information for all the environmental components and discussions with the officials
and local public were conducted by the experts to establish realistic information on
the area w.r.t the project.
3.1 Physical Environment
3.1.1 Geography and Topography
The command area of the project covers Haveri district. Slope plays an important role
in land irrigability and land capability assessment. The area is flat and continuous
sloping without undulations towards the Varada river. The topography of the project
area is partly plain and partly sloping. The elevation in the study area ranges from RL
430.00 m to RL 540.00 m.
3.1.2 Climate & Meteorology
Air borne pollutants is dispersed by atmospheric motion. Knowledge of these motions,
which range in scale from turbulent diffusion to long-range transport by weather
Savanur Integrated Micro Irrigation Project at Savanur Tq, Executive Summary
Haveri District, Karnataka of Final EIA report
Karnataka Neeravari Nigam Ltd EHS Consultants Pvt Ltd, Bangalore 11
systems, is essential to simulate such dispersion and quality of impacts of air pollution
on the environment. The purpose of EIA is to determine whether concentrations are
likely to encounter at fixed locations (Know as the receptor), due to the given sources
(locations and rates of emission known) under idealized atmospheric conditions.
3.1.3 Ambient air quality
Ambient air quality was monitored at 05 stations for PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NO2
parameters in the study area viz., during the Summer Season (March to May 2015),
Monsoon Season (June to August 2015) & Winter Season (September to November
2015) AAQM was carried out on 24hrly basis on weekly twice mode continuously for
one single month in each season viz., March, July & November 2015. The Results reveal
that, ambient air quality in the study area in well within the NAAQ standards and
found to be good and satisfactory.
3.1.4 Ambient Noise levels
The ambient noise levels were monitored at 5 locations and compared with
Residential standards and the results reveal that, the noise levels in the study area
ranging from 40.94 - 43.7 dB(A) for day and 33.7-35.07 dB(A) for night time during Pre-
Monsoon season. Similarly, during Monsoon season, the noise levels in the monitored
locations are ranging from 40.99 - 43.93 dB(A) for day time and 34.06-37.16 dB(A) for
night time. The noise levels during Post-Monsoon season is ranging between 50.68-
54.86 dB(A) for day time and 41.57 - 43.79 dB(A) for night time. Overall, the noise
levels in all the seasons were observed to be well within the CPCB standards.
3.1.5 Seismicity
The proposed project area is located in the Zone-II of Seismic Zoning Map of India.
Hence, the area is very less prone to Earthquakes.
3.1.6 Geology and Minerals
The main rock formations in the study area and the geological succession are
Quaternary - Recent Alluvial deposits - Unconformity
Algonkian - Dolerite dykes, pegmatite and quartz veins- Unconformity
Precambrian - Clospet granites, limestone, phyllites, Mica Hornblende,
quartzite and basic igneous rocks of Dharwar system
Archaean - Peninsular gneiss, amphibolites etc.
3.1.7 Soil characteristics
Most of the study area especially towards riverine slopes Typic Chromosterts Fine,
Montmorillontic, Vertic (Black cotton) type of soil is extensively found in the region. The
command area is comprising of Typic Chromosterts Fine, Montmorillontic, Vertic
(Black cotton) type of soil, Very fine Montmorillontic, Typic pellusters (Clay soil) and
Clayey-skeletal, mixed, Typic Rhodusalfs (Red soil) types of soils.
The black cotton soil is rich in bases (alkaline condition) and has a very high water
holding capacity. The soils in the project area are mostly black soil, while the red and
mixed soils constitute only 20 percent, and are two to four feet deep, heavy in texture,
with 45 to 55 per cent clay and contain free calcium carbonate throughout the
profile. There is generally a zone of salt concentration in the soil profile at a depth of
18 to 36 inches, the principal salt being gypsum. Below the gypsum layer occurs
„murrum‟ which is practically impermeable to water, so that the internal drainage of
the soil is lateral rather than vertical within the profile.

3.1.8 Hydrology
Haveri district is generally a gently undulating plain except for the hilly area on the
western most part of the district bordering Uttara Kannada district and ridges on
southernmost parts of the district, which forms part of Hirekerur taluk. The landmass of
the district is situated between the elevations of 515 to 732 m above MSL. The Tunga-
Bhadra River flowing on the eastern border of the district is the only perennial River in
the district. The Varada and Kumudvati Rivers are major tributaries of Tungabhadra
and River Dharma a major tributary of Varada drains the district. All the Rivers in the
district together with their tributaries exhibit dendritic drainage pattern and they form
part of Krishna main basin.
3.1.9 Surface Water
The baseline status of water quality in the study area was established. Water samples
were collected from 10 locations (5 No. of surface water & 5 No. of ground water) in
the study area during Summer Season (March to May 2015), Monsoon Season (June to
August 2015) & Winter Season (September to November, 2015).
In summer season, the physico-chemical parameters for Varada river (upstream, lift
point and downstream) were well within the standards. Total dissolved solids in
upstream and downstream locations are reporting 1760 mg/l and 421 mg/l
respectively and whereas near lift point the TDS was observed to be at 412 mg/l.
Dissolved oxygen was observed to be in the range of 5.7-6.1 mg/l.
In monsoon season, Total dissolved solids at all the locations were considerably
reduced in monsoon season compared to post-monsoon season and reporting 66-71
mg/l. Iron was reported very high and exceeding the standards at all the locations
and ranging between 0.57-0.83 mg/l. Higher concentration of iron was noticed in
rainy season due to the dissolution of ferrous iron in the Varada river catchment area
(geological condition). Dissolved oxygen was observed to be in the range of 6 - 6.9
mg/l. The TDS in tank water is ranging between 564-674 mg/l.
In winter season, Total dissolved solids at all the locations were considerably regained
its situation when compared to monsoon season and ranging 210 mg/l and 264 mg/l
at lift point and downstream locations. In upstream location TDS was observed to be
1992 mg/l which is close to the permissible limits. Iron back to the normal situation and
well within its prescribed limits. Dissolved oxygen was observed to be in the range of
6.6 - 7.2 mg/l.
3.1.10 Ground Water
In summer season, Total dissolved solids in upstream and downstream locations were
1760 mg/l and 421 mg/l respectively and whereas near lift point the TDS was observed
to be at 412 mg/l.
In monsoon season, Iron was reported very high and exceeding the standards at all
the locations and ranging between 0.57-0.83 mg/l. Dissolved oxygen was observed to
be in the range of 6 - 6.9 mg/l. The TDS in tank water is ranging between 564-674 mg/l.
In winter season, the Total Hardness was exceeding the standard at Teggihalli (1000
mg/l) and Challal (640 mg/l), Calcium(208 mg/l), Magnesium (116.6 mg/l) was

3.2.3 Avi Fauna
Few bird species such as Little cormorant, Indian pond heron, Cattle egret, Little egret,
Bar headed goose, Black kite, Green imperial pigeon, Common wood pecker, Brown-
headed barbet were found in the command area.
3.2.4 Amphibians
Common Indian toad was found in the command area.
3.3 Aquatic Ecology
The plankton of the Varada river, inherently, is 'poor' in representation and is subjected
to constant changes (Poor- rich -Poor). As the species and values indicate,
Zooplankton dominated over phytoplankton by both numbers and percentage. The
values presented are an average of three sampling stations viz., Kalasur (project site),
Karjagi (down stream) and Varada bridge(up stream).
The bed of the river in all the stations , where studies were carried-out, was mostly
sandy and Stray cases of boulders in the stations.
The phytoplankton in order of abundance, consists of Chlorophyceae 2-19 nos ./0.38-
9.03%), Bacillariophyceae (2-35 nos./0.31-31.13%) and Myxophyceae (2-47 nos/0.44-
8.15%). The zooplankton represented by Rotifera 4-362 nos./0.88-22.99%), Copepoda (
63-246 nos./10.11-15.62%), Cladocera (3-53 nos./0.32-4.85%), protozoa (5-65 nos./0,.32-
5.44%) and Ostracoda (8-66 nos./1.76-6.68%). The Miscellaneous group represented by
insect remains and vegetative parts formed the least group with minimal
representation ( Insects - 1 - 25 nos./022-4.19% and vegetative parts - 0.3 nos./0.22%).
The phytoplankton on the basis of the taxonomic criteria were represented by
Myxophyceae (Anacystis cyanea, Oscillatoria princeps & Spirulina major),
Chlorophyceae (Volvox aureus, Pandorina simplex, Coelastrum chodati, Cosmarium
granatum, Spirogyra varians and Ulothrix zonata) and Bacillar iophyceae ( Diatoma
vulgare, Fragilaria capucina, Syndera ulna, Surirella striatula, Gyrosigma kutzingi and
Navicula radiosa).
The Zooplankton is represented by Protozoa (Arcella mitrata & Difflugia corona),
Rotifera (Brachionus calcyflorus, Keratella tropica, Notholca acuminata & Filinia
longiseta) , Cladocera (Daphnia magana and Moina micrura), Ostracoda ( Cypris
subglobosa) and Copepoda (cyclops and nauplius). Miscellaneous group is
represented by insects /vegetative fragments only.
4. Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures
Due to the activities of the project, there will be potential impacts on the environment
of varying magnitude. Most of the impacts are likely to occur during the construction
phase of the project. The following sections reveal the impacts due to the project on
the physical, biological and social environment. Impacts have been assessed based
on the information collected from the screening and feasibility study reports, field
surveys and additional secondary data collected as part of the study. The majority of
the impacts are confined only during the construction stage
4.1 Ambient Air Quality
The construction of the project is expected to last approximately in 24 months. The
initial site clearing will be followed by site preparation activities
Fugitive dust emissions from the project will result from:
Dust entrained during onsite travel on paved and unpaved surfaces;
Savanur Integrated Micro Irrigation Project at Savanur Tq, Executive Summary
Haveri District, Karnataka of Final EIA report
Karnataka Neeravari Nigam Ltd EHS Consultants Pvt Ltd, Bangalore 16
Dust entrained during aggregate and soil loading and unloading
operations; and
Wind erosion of areas disturbed during construction activities.
Combustion emissions during construction will result from:
Exhaust from the Diesel construction equipment used for site preparation,
excavation, trenching and construction of onsite structures;
Exhaust from pickup trucks and Diesel trucks used to transport workers and
materials around the construction site;
Exhaust from Diesel trucks used to deliver concrete, fuel, and construction
supplies to the construction site; and
Exhaust from automobiles used by workers to commute to the construction
site.
The following mitigation measures will be followed to control potential emissions of
fugitive dust during construction of the project:
HSD with low sulphur content will be used for the construction equipments/
vehicles which has low ash content.
Unpaved roads in the project construction site are watered frequently as
necessary to prevent fugitive dust. All vehicles carrying construction
materials will be covered with tarpaulin to avoid spillage of construction
materials.
All the trucks carrying construction materials to the site shall be inspected
regularly and shall have valid Pollution Under Control (PUC) certificate.
Labors camps shall be provided with LPG facilities.
Usage of PPEs like nose masks will be provided.
4.2 Ambient Noise Level
During construction phase, various sources of noise pollution arise due to operation of
machineries like concrete plant, cranes, batch plants, material lifting operations,
communication noise, including DG sets etc., Other source of noise pollution includes
movement of vehicles for unloading of construction materials, fabrication, handling of
equipments. Construction activities are expected to produce noise levels in the range
of 80 – 95 dB (A).
PPEs such as, ear plugs and ear muffs will be provided to the workers.
Six monthly maintenance and servicing of construction equipments/
vehicles.
Acoustic enclosures will be provided for DG sets
Construction activities shall be restricted only to day time and there will not
be any construction during evening and night hours to avoid the
psychological effects on surrounding population and biota.
4.3 Water Environment
The quality of water resources both surface and ground water may also deteriorate if
solid waste management practices are not adopted in the labour camps of the
project during peak construction phase.
Improper treatment of sewage from labor camps leads to infiltration into the
subsurface soil and finally affects the ground water of the region. This will create
Savanur Integrated Micro Irrigation Project at Savanur Tq, Executive Summary
Haveri District, Karnataka of Final EIA report
Karnataka Neeravari Nigam Ltd EHS Consultants Pvt Ltd, Bangalore 17
unaesthetic conditions in the site, attracts mosquitoes/flies, thereby chances of
deteriorating the health of the workers in unhygienic conditions. Improper disposal of
construction debris, used oil, diesel for DG sets, etc will result in ground water
contamination and in turn affecting drainage of the area.
The mitigation measures include;
The sewage generated from the labour camps shall be treated in the
Septic Tank and Soak Pits designed and constructed as per IS 2470 Part-I &
Part-II.
There will be no open discharge of sewage from labour camps and the
labour camps will be provided with sufficient bathrooms and toilets.
Periodical health check-ups for labors will be done.
Construction debris will be reused at site, used oil generated from the DG
sets will be stored separately and handed over to KSPCB authorized
recyclers.
During construction of intake canal, the river course and the point of
contact of intake canal will be provided with sand bags
4.4. Land Environment
Temporary loss of soil may be envisaged during the construction phase during
construction of temporary offices, workers camps, stockyards, borrow areas etc.
Compaction of soil may occur, particularly on haul roads during site clearance due to
movement of heavy machinery and vehicles and during setting up of construction
camps and stockyards.
Mitigation measures:
Labour camps will be constructed in the vacant/ barren lands so that
impact on agricultural lands are nullified.
Maintenance and period repair of machineries will not be taken up in the
project site vicinity. Maintenance of DG sets will be done at the vendors
place and will not be taken up near project site.
4.5 Biological Environment
During construction, due to the fugitive dust, photosynthetic activity would
be reduced and leads of wilting of plants.
Use of river water for domestic needs by labors will bear riverine water
pollution and affects aquatic biota.
Use of fire wood for labor camps results in cutting of trees.
Construction equipment / vehicles washing leads to oil spillages into river
and leads to reduction in dissolved oxygen levels.
Improper disposal of construction materials and domestic wastes leads
eutrophication.
Mitigation measures:
Periodical water sprinkling in and around the construction areas including
access roads to avoid fugitive dust generation.
Labor camps shall be located 1 Km away from the river course and
imposing restrictions for not using the river water for domestic purpose.
Labors camps shall be provided with LPG facilities.

Construction equipment / vehicles washing shall be undertaken at
authorized service stations.
Security personnel near river course and sign boards will be erected to
educate the labors.
4.6 Evaluation Impacts
Matrix method was used to identify interactions between various project activities and
environmental parameters and components. Later, a weightage of 1-10 shall be
given to the impacts based on the significance of the impacts. The impacts are
quantified „with‟ and „without‟ EMP. The criteria adopted for weightage are given

7. Social Impact Assessment
The proposed project is for irrigating 15500 ha of land covering 30 drought prone
villages in Karnataka, utilizing 1.5 TMC water through lift irrigation from the upstream
of an already existing Kalasur barrage across Varada river, in Kalasur Viliage,
Savanur Taluka, Haveri District of Karnataka . Out of which 1.35 TMC of water will be
utilized for irrigation purpose by adapting drip irrigation with piped conveyance
system and remaining 0.15 TMC will be used for filling of 11 minor tanks to provide
drinking water facility and sub soil replenishment.
7.1 Demographic profile of the villages
The Project Influence area covers eight villages viz., Savanur, Hosahalli, Thondur,
Kalasur, Thalahalli, Jallapur, Hattimattur, Kalakond in Karnataka State. The brief
socio-economic profile of the Study area villages is given in the following sub-
sections.
7.2 Impact of the project
During the project construction phase and operation-management phase
additional employment will be generated.
Savanur Integrated Micro Irrigation Project at Savanur Tq, Executive Summary
Haveri District, Karnataka of Final EIA report
Karnataka Neeravari Nigam Ltd EHS Consultants Pvt Ltd, Bangalore 25
The only negative impact is that some people will lose their agricultural land for the
project construction purposes and they will be sufficiently compensated as per rules.
Since no residential or commercial properties affected, there is no need for any
displacement and hence resettlement /rehabilitation is not involved.
Villagers have some additional demands for construction of linking roads, sanitation
facilities etc which will also be duly attended by the Govt, especially since this
backward villages are in the hit list for the developmental interventions.
So overall impact of the project is positive which will bring long term development/
growth in the development map of these villages.
8. Project Benefits
Filling of 11 MI tanks helps in recharging the ground water table helps in
sub soil replishment. It also provides direct drinking water access to
domestic animals.
The project improves total farm output and hence raises farm income.
Project improves yields through reduced crop loss due to erratic,
unreliable or insufficient rainfall.
It allows a greater area of land to be used for crops in areas where rain
fed production is impossible or marginal. Presently, 7750 Ha practicing
rainfed agriculture and due to the implementation of the scheme 15500
ha will be under irrigation.
Extensive agricultural production supplies raw materials to the nearby
small scale industries thereby increasing the economy in the region.
Increased benefits from flood control, soil erosion, etc
Altogether, population of 48695 belonging to 9501 families in the
command area will be benefitted directly under the scheme.
Direct employment opportunities for 100 people during construction
phase and 30 people during operation phase of the project. Further,
indirectly labor opportunities will be substantially improved since larger
area will be brought under irrigation.
It improves fodder crops and in turn dairy farming in the command area.
The existing Kalasur barrage will be utilised for the scheme and hence less
environmental impacts.
Water conservation through adoption of drip irrigation for the entire
15500 command area.
Zero water logging and salinity problems. Weed and disease reduction
due to adoption of micro irrigation.
The project requires only 188 Ha for implementation of the scheme and
does not envisages rehabilitation and resettlement.
No tree cutting and no forest land required for implementation of the
scheme. Agro forestry shall be taken up in command area and it
improves the ecosystem services.

9. Environmental Management Plan
Although agriculture is usually associated with its positive impacts on human life, irrigation practices may be associated with
impacts on environmental conditions, which may eventually curtail the sustainability of irrigation projects. For this reason,
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been recognized as an integral part of the early planning studies of irrigation projects in
order to identify any expected negative impacts and suggest the necessary mitigation plans to curb these impacts through
formation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

9.1 Catchment Area Treatment (CAT) plan
Soil and Water are the two most important Natural resources which have a direct
bearing on agricultural production. These resources have to be used judiciously to
obtain optimum of yield of crops. The recommended soil and moisture conservation
measures for Northern Dry zone are as follows:
Contour bunds with waste weirs.
Graded bunds/Graded border strips.
Zing terraces with raised waste weirs.
Diversion Drains/Water ways.
Reducing wind erosion of soil by growing wind breaks (vegetation cover).
Gully plugging.
In over-grazed land silvi pastoral systems, which in irrigated land yield
enough green fodder to cattle population.
Grazing animals should be kept in stalls.
Agro forestry and Agro horticulture systems to meet various needs of
farmers, crop residue of this adds to the soil and increases carbon
content and biotic activity.
Harvesting of runoff and impounding through appropriate structures.
Drainage line treatments to improve the flow and avoid nala course
clogging.
9.1.1 Recommended soil conservation practices for CAT
Karnataka is a pioneer in implementing watershed programmes since 1983. Dry land
development boards were constituted at in the divisional level, model watersheds,
district level macro watershed programs, DPAP, DDP, IWDP, WGDP, RVP, NWDPRA
and more recently from April 2008 Integrated Watershed Development Programme
(IWMP).A state level perspective and Strategic Plan (SPSP) is prepared for the state
and entire area (120.85 lakh ha) is contemplated to be treated by the end of XIV
plan period, on 60:40 ratio between center and state.
In the district of Haveri, out of 894 micro watersheds with 4, 29,937 ha, 233 micro
watersheds has been treated covering an area of 843400 ha have been treated
under catchment area Protection treatments. Till the end of the sixth five year plan,
nearly Rs. 51crores was spent on improvement of about 843400 ha of the land with
various soil and water conservation measures.261 watersheds are proposed to be
treated in the next 18 years.

Some of the methods suggested for soil conservation for Savanur catchment area
and other details are provided below.
Gully plugging
This prevents the eroding and down-cutting of gully beds headwords while they
encourage the deposition of silt load and create a micro-environment for the
establishment of vegetative covers. Gully plugs act as grade stabilization structures.
The specifications for gully plug are as follows;

The gullies would be treated with engineering/mechanical as well as vegetative
methods. Check dams are recommended for some areas to promote growth of
vegetation that will consequently lead to the stabilization of the slopes area and
prevent further deepening of gullies and consequent erosion. For controlling the
gullies, the erosive velocities are reduced by flattening out the steep gradient of the
gully. This is achieved by constructing a series of check dam which transform the
longitudinal gradient into a series of steps with low risers and long flat treads.
Different types of check dams would be required for different conditions comprising
different materials, depending upon the site conditions and by using the locally
available materials. This is often the most acceptable soil conservation measures
that can easily establish and should form a dense thicket near the ground level
when planted in close vicinity. The following materials are recommended for the
purpose.
Brushwood check dam
Dry rubble stone masonry (DRSM)
Check dams with stones available at the site
Combination of DRSM and crate works – for moderate to deep gullies
with locally available stones at sites
The advantage of brushwood check dams is that they are quick and easy to
construct and are inexpensive as they are constructed by using readily available
materials at the site. In addition to the vegetative measures used for stabilization of
gullies, temporary or permanent mechanical measures are used as supplementary
measures to prevent the washing away of young plantations by large volume of
runoff. The gullies get stabilized over a period of time with the establishment of

vegetative cover. With passage of time mechanical structures weaken and
vegetative measures get strengthened.
The drainage basin of the river, usually referred to as catchment area needs some
kind of treatment in the overall interest of the development of the area extending
along the river with a view to improve land management through biological and
engineering measures, with the objective of arresting soil erosion and improve its
vegetation, and control over grazing by cattle.
The catchment area treatment involves intensive and highly technical measures,
which require the expertise of technical skill. The watershed committees have to be
constituted at the panchayath level in the Panchayath covered in the proposed
catchment areas of Savanur spread over in the jurisdiction of Shimoga, Haveri and
Uttara Kannada Districts with the objective of an integrated approach involving
multi disciplinary experts dealing with forest, agriculture, horticulture, watershed,
sociologists, besides local panchayat members and community members.
The area under each watershed has been planned on the basis of Land use / land
cover and topographic conditions. The total area proposed for treatment is
131308.2ha, in the Savanur project basin.

9.2 Command Area Development Plan
9.2.1 Water Users’ Association (WUA)
The modern irrigation management aims at high efficiency of water conveyance
and appropriate methods of water application, through participatory irrigation
management at each stage of irrigation development. In Karnataka, it is essential to
promote and implement the theme of participatory irrigation management in all the
Irrigation projects through formation of Water Users‟ Association. The construction of
OFD works will be taken up after formation of WUAs under the supervision of CADA,
Belgaum.
The efficient management of irrigation water for maximizing productivity requires,
firstly the efficient on farm water management and secondly the optimization of the
use of water and land, through appropriate methods of water application. The
efficient on-farm water management is related to water delivery system and allied

works in the command area, which distributes the water to each farm. The items of
works pertaining to on farm water management are termed as “On Farm
Development Works”.
The On Farm Development works comprise of the following,
Maintenance of disnets, sumps
Control structures
Maintenance of Automation
Surface Drainage system
Farm roads
Land forming (Smoothening / grading/leveling)
9.2.2 Green belt development plan
9.2.2.1 Plantation around intake canal and jack well cum pump house
Green belt development activities will be taken up on either side of the intake canal
and in and around jack well cum pump house. The details are given below;
9.2.2.2 Agro forestry activates in command area
Agro-forestry refers to the practice of Agriculture and Forestry in the same piece of
land. The Karnataka Forest Department (KFD) has accorded high emphasis on farm
forestry as a component in the afforestation programmes. The sector of Agro-forestry
or Farm Forestry has a good potential as most of the agriculture lands are devoid of
any trees, in the district. The trees if planted on the bunds and on the boundary of
the lands, protect the crops from the desiccating high winds and also provide
additional income from the trees to the farmer apart from providing him fodder and
fuel as well.
Silvi-Pasture refers to the planting of the trees in a predominately grassland so as to
provide fodder all the year round. This afforestation is aimed at not only addition of
tree species, but also addition of highly nutritive and palatable grass species in the
area, thereby providing much needed nutritious fodder to the livestock population.

9.3 Fisheries Development Plan
It is suggested to install suitable mesh-sized screens at the diversion point at In-take
distribution points. Screens of large-sized mesh, over and above 5 cm at main in-take
point, few meters away from it with mesh-size of 20 mm to prevent entry of large,
medium carpe, weed fish and also major/minor catfish Present.
In addition, around 5 lakhs fingerlings (over 75 mm in total length) comprised of
Gangetic carp - Catla catla - 40.0%, Labeo rohita. 30.0% and Cirrhinus mrigala-
10.07% are to be introduced annually in the river Varada above the Project site. The
Authorities related to the Propose Project could contribute their might and service to
this developmental strategy to facilitate enrichment of riverine fish fauna and also to
provide quite an opportunity to the fisher folk of the area to elk-out their livelihood
by engagiing in their profession. The indents for the required fish seed be forward to
the Fisheries Development Officer, Tungabhadra Dam Post, Hospet taluk , Bellary:
district, Assistant Director of Fisheries, Haveri taluk , Haveri district, by around January
to March of each year to ensure supply of the required stocking material 'and the
species composition. The entire process envisages helps in augmenting fish
production in the river/reservoir complex in question. The total cost involved will be
around 5.00 lakhs only. The fish Seed slated to be introduced, preferably, be
undertaken between the Varada bridge (near Haveri and Domburmattur).

The dometic waste water will be treated with septic tank and soak pit.
9.7 Ground water management plan
Due to the adoption of drip irrigation facilities, drawl of groundwater is likely to
decrease and vast areas will be put to use for cultivation. The crop acreage is
increased substantially. As such the groundwater levels will increase and further
exploitation will be minimized. After a few years the monitoring programme should
be envisaged to study the potential of groundwater and conjunctive management
could be planned.
