Notes:

1.The PC1 flows at the height between 150 to 300 meters, the feeding rivers for this are Kamali, Kofi, Ganga, Yamuna, Chambal, Sind, Betwa, Ken, Son, Damodar, Seanath, Mahanadi, Wainganga, Penganga, Godavari, Krishana, Tungabadra, Penneru, Stanley, Kaveri. All these rivers will be feeding the PC1 at the sea level between 450 to 300 meters.

2.These Primary channels are supplied by one or the other river, water is utilized on the other side. The basic principal is any river that originates above the level of 300 meters has to pass a point at 300 meters at some place, utilize this and interconnect these points in such a way that all land coming below that point should get the continuous water supply for irrigation.

3.It is also supplied by the other primary and secondary channels which are present at a higher level.

4.Any excess water, more than the normal flow levels in the Primary channel will flow in its normal natural path.

5.If the water supply by one river is less and the water level is going down in the primary channel it will be fed by the other river at a different site and thus a constant flow is maintained in the primary channel.

Picture: Gate system of the channels.

6.The size of the primary channel may be maintained at 16 meters depth, 20 meters breath, flow is maintained at 10 meters level, if the flow is more than 12 meters, water should flow in to the natural flow system. The gates for secondary channels are created for the top 5 meters of water of the primary channel. One gate each is created in the primary channel for each natural path starting from the base of the channel

7.With this the states or the places that are supplied by the primary channel 1 need not depend on the neighboring states for water, and most of the north Indian and few south Indian river water causing floods and entering the sea will be effectively utilized through primary channel 1 and the water is equally utilized all along the channel. The states which are at higher sea level will utilize the entire water generated at that level and as much as land possible is irrigated through the reticular canals created at that level.

Page 49: S5c11 chapter 11-the rivers of india and probable primary channels

11.59. The primary channel 2.

Map: Primary channel 2.

The primary channel 2 flows between the heights of 300 to 500.

The feeding rivers for this channel are,

1. Mahi, Tributaries of Chambal (Gandi sagar), Betwa and Ken – these rivers feeds the EAST BRANCH OF PC 2.

2.Damodar, tributaries of Son- feeds the WEST BRANCH OF PC 2.

These west and east branches joins together at Ambikapur ( chattisgarh), flows for few kilometers, again divides and flows around Mahadevo and Gawilgash hills ( this is optional, we can make the PC 2, to flow only on one side of the hill depending upon , how much land is available for the agriculture or for the industry purpose.

The other feeding rivers along the rest of the course includes,

1. Penganga, Godavari, tributaries of Krishna, Tungabhadra, Penneru, Ponniyar, Kaveri, Noyil, Vaigai, Vaippur and Arjun.

2. Joins sea near Nagarcoil(TN).

Most probably the water diverted by these PC1, PC2 and PC3 is more than sufficient to irrigate the entire land. PC 1 area will never suffer from water deficiency, rarely the PC2 and PC3 area may suffer from deficiency. To overcome this it may be necessary to create one more Primary Channel and a lift system.

11.61. The Primary channel 4 and the lift systemThe feeding rivers for the PC4 are Manas, Sunkash, Amo, Tista, Kosa, Karcha, Bagmathi, Gandak, Rapti, Ganga, Karmanasa, Son, Punpun, Phalgu. The excess water drains in to river Dadhar and then in to river Ganga.

[Gaya, Water can be lifted from PC4 near Gaya which is at 200 meters above sea level to Kodarm (belongs to Jarkand at Hazaribag plateau), which is at 600 meters above the sea level where the west branch of the PC2 originates, So a lift of 400 meters is sufficient shift the water from PC4, a continuous source of water to PC2.]Bihar.

The Lift center.

80 HP Motor pumps of about 100 to 200 in number can be installed which will pump the water from a place near Gaya in Bihar which is 200 meters above the sea level to Kodarm in Jarkand which is at 600 meters above the sea level where the west branch of the PC2 originates. A similar lift system may be necessary to create to lift the water from PC2 to PC3.

11.62. The Communicating canals.These are the canals created between the east flowing and west flowing rivers/pc3. It is created as the size of primary or secondary channels depending upon the continuous or seasonal flow of water in the feeding river. Most of the time these channels are created in such a way that the water flows from the west flowing river to the east flowing river because more land for agriculture is present on the east to the western ghats. If needed the visa versa can also be done. We need to consider two point as given by the river survey team (The west flowing river distance and the level will be given by the Zone 6 & 7 teams), and if we want the flow to be from the west flowing river to the east flowing river, then the first point in the west flowing river is taken at a higher level than the east flowing river or the primary channel 3 with a considerable level difference and the land survey is done both aerially and on the land the communicating channel path is identified and a game road is created and test for channel patency is done, digging and barrier wall creation are done. Through these communicating canals we can expect the unexpected run/flush/gush of water to the east flowing rivers and that can be used to fill the storing systems like reservoirs.

11.63. Maintenance of RCS.We need to maintain the RCS financially, technically and administratively for proper functioning of the system and the machinery in such a way that the RCS should supply required amount of water at required time without causing any problems for the people and the crops and to lead a happy life for the people who work for RCS.

A National Irrigation board is created under the leadership of President of India or the Prime minister of India, a specified amount of fee is fixed per hectare of land per month (suggested Rs.25-) and the collected money can be utilized for the salary of the employs, for maintenance and repair work of the RCS and for extending and improving the system of RCS.

The rate of revenue should be uniform throughout the nation irrespective of mode of supply like canal irrigation with lift or without lift, pipe line irrigation and others. The revenues are collected from the land owners who utilize the water for agriculture purpose and from the factory owners who utilize the water for industrial purpose, but no money is charged for the water used for domestic purpose, but the corporation or the village panchayat organization may collect the charges toward purification, salary and maintenance of the water supply system.

The revenue can be collected from the individual or from the village panchayat agriculture association or from the boards/organization like electricity bill as practiced today. The money goes to the district RCS committee, then to the state and the state will send the money to the respective zone as one state may come under more than one zone and from the zone to the centre.

11.64. The Composite probable RCS .It is the water system with the entire natural and the artificial water pathways put together.

In the following picture dark blue line indicates the coastal area representing the mean sea level. The area between the blue line and light green line is the land between the level 0 to 300mts above the MSL, the area between the light green line and the dark green line is the land between 300 to 450 meters above the MSL, the area between the dark green line is the land above the height of 450 meters.

Light blue lines are the river and the tributaries, red lines are the primary channel, pink lines are the secondary channels, orange lines are the tertiary channels and the brown lines are the quaternary channels.

Picture: RCS line diagram.

In the following map the rivers and the tributaries are shown in thin blue lines, the primary channel 1 is shown in red line, primary channel 2 is shown in dark blue line, primary channel 3 is shown in dark green line, primary channel 4 is shown in pink line, the secondary channels, the communicating channel and the lift system is shown in violet color lines.

Map: Composite RCS.

With all the natural water path ways like the rivers, tributaries, streams and others with all the artificial water pathways like the primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary, communicating channels put together will look like the reticulum of canals hence the name “Reticular Canal System”.
