Sardar Sarovar
Narmada Dam
ABSTRACT
The Sardar SarovarDam is a gravity dam on the Narmada River
crossing Gujarat in India.
It is the largest dam and part of the Narmada ValleyProject, a large
hydraulicengineeringproject involvingofa series of large irrigation and
hydroelectricmulti-purpose dams.
The project took form in 1979 as part of a development scheme to
increase irrigation and produce hydroelectricity.The state governments
of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh claim that the Sardar SarovarProject
(SSP) and the Narmada Sagar Project (NSP) would irrigate 1.9 million ha
and 0.14 million ha of land and generate 1,450 megawatts (mw) and
1,000 mw of power, respectively.

The hydroelectricpower of the SSP would be shared by the states of
Gujarat,Maharashtraand Madhya Pradesh;the irrigation benefits would
accrue to the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan.

ī The SardarSarovar Project is one of the largest water resources projects
of India covering four majorstates - Maharashtra,Madhya Pradesh,
Gujarat and Rajasthan.
ī Dam's spillwaydischargingcapacity(30.7 lakhs cusecs) would be third
highest in the world.

Benefits from Sardar Sarovar Project
Irrigation
The SardarSarovar Project will provide irrigation facilities to 18.45 lac ha.of
land,covering 3112 villages of 73 talukas in 15 districts of Gujarat.It will also
irrigate 75,000 ha.of land in the strategic desert districts of Barmer and
Jallore in Rajasthan and 37,500 ha.in the tribal hillytract of Maharashtra
through lift.About 75% of the command area in Gujarat is drought prone
while entire command (75,000 ha.) in Rajasthan is drought prone.Assured
water supplywill soon make this area drought proof.
Hydropower
There will be two power houses viz. River bed power house and canal head
power house with an installed capacityof1200 MW and 250 MW
respectively.The power would be shared by three states - Madhya Pradesh -
57%, Maharashtra -27% and Gujarat 16%. This will provide a useful paking
power to western grid of the country which has very limited hydropower

As we reach there, Mr. Nimesh Gajjar first guided all the students to Model
Room of the plant at Admin Building,where he shared knowledge of the
plant and working of the plant.He also informed that,the plant is designed
for water treatment of 650 MLD with overloaded capacityof750 MLD. As
the increase in demand,plant is expanding200MLD to satisfyportable
water demand by Ahmadabadcity.It was informed that,âNarmada River
and Sabarmati Riverare the two resources of Raw Water for KotarpurWater
Treatment Plant. Then we were given briefinformation aboutthe historyof
plant and howit is working.
HISTORY OF PLANT
The plant was planned manyyears before it came into existence but failed
to start as there was no raw water available duringthat time.
Then on 7th of April,2017, exactly 31 years before the date of our visit,this
plant started functioning,as Raska Water Works provided the plant with raw
water.
AMOUNT OF WATER BEING SUPPLIED TO PLANT:

īˇ The amount ofwater required by AMC is 1100 MLD.
īˇ Kotarpurplant produces 650 MLD of treated water. Max 750MLD
īˇ Raska water work provides 125 MLD.
īˇ Jaspurwater works provides 200 MLD.
īˇ And 125 to 150 MLD is taken through French wells.
īˇ 350 MLD is taken from SardarSarovar usingcanal.This is possible
because kotarpurplant is at low level than Sardarsarovardam, so
gravity assists the process.

WORKING OF TREATMENT PLANT
Main objectivebehind the visit was to know the 6 stages of water works
plant which were Raw Water Sources, Clarificationofwater and
Sedimentationofimpurities,Sludge Plant,where residuals ofClarification
plant is treated,Filtration Plant,ChlorinationPlant and ClearWater Tank
and Pump Station.
īˇ In the beginningof process,raw water from 2500 mm dia. pipe of
Narmada canal through gravity caused by elevation difference of 4.5
m of inlet bayand canal) and 1800 mm dia. pipes of 2 intakes-Raska
īˇ The water is collected from sources to Inlet bay (Top water level-
62.44m)
īˇ For mixing of dosage of alum and Pre-chlorination,Hydraulicjump is
provided in inlet bay. In summer, raw water has 5 NTU, but in winter
or monsoon,it has about 10 NTU. So in order to maintain this value,
chemical dosingis used. In this process,aluminum sulphate alum is
dozed on water. Because of this colorof water changes somewhat.
Alum is sprayed on water so that it gets mixed. The ratio of alum is
1:10.
īˇ The distribution box is provided to divide the floe in 3 streams of 12
clarifloculators.
īˇ Then the water passes through the fine mesh screens (at 30 to 45
degree) which stops the floatingdebris to enter in the
clariflocculators.

īˇ To increase the flocculate formation rate a rotaryblade is provided in
the flocculate so comparativelymore weighted flocculate settle down.
īˇ The bottom ofthe clariflocculatorhas a slopingbottom which allows
settled flocculate to go to sedimentation tank.
īˇ Then from sedimentationtank,sludge is removed from sludge pit at

that the impurities settle in media used for filtration.
īˇ back wash is used.Here the water is allowed to fall on filter media
down to up and thus filter media gets cleaned up. This process is
repeated every 6 week for maintenance
īˇ The last stage is chlorinationofwater to remove bacteria and viruses
and smell.
īˇ The water is stored in the underground storage tankof 80,000,000

was to make students aware about the recent developments in the field of
Smart cities and acknowledgingthem with the latest concepts of Green

We reached the GIFT city. GIFT city stands for Gujarat InternationalFinance
Tech-City. It is a smart city currently developingin a total land mass of 886
acres between Ahmedabadand Gandhinagar on the banks of river
Sabarmati.As we entered the premises of the GIFT city, we were welcomed
by the sight of two sky scrapers which are named GIFT-1and GIFT-2.We met
Mr.Lovleen Garg, Asst. Vice President,GIFT city, in the reception area of
GIFT-1.It was a spacious area with tall glass windows for better lighting. He
informed us about the basics of the infra structure of GIFT city and the
developingsites. The GIFT city is a Public-Private Partnership project.The
two buildings GIFT-1and GIFT-2are 28 storeyâs high and completely
constructed.Another Hiran andani tower is under construction.It will be a
16 storeyhigh building.Mr.Garg explainedus the importance ofGIFT city as
finance and IT services hub in India.GIFT city is a first of its kind in India and
is designed to stand eye to eye with globallybench marked financial centers

After the introduction byMr. Garg, we were taken to see the different

city started in the year 2010. Mr. Parth informed us regardingthe structure
of the sky scraper sand how the GIFT City is surrounded bylittle elevations
of land in the front for percolation ofwater. All the roads in GIFT city have
trees planted on both sides.The roads are provided with LED lights as street
lights which saves more power. The development ofGIFT city is divided into
various phases and as of now,phase-1is completed .There are different
colored garbage containers available at every buildingfor separatingthe
recyclable waste from organicand metallicwastes. There is an underground
waste management system which uses vacuum to collect waste from all
parts of the city, thus keeping it clean. On ourway around the city, we saw
the Fire station ofthe city well equipped with modern facilities.The District
Coolingsystem is one of its kinds in the GIFT city. The coolingrequirement
for the buildings ofGIFT would be met by DCS that will supply chilled water
to the buildings from a centralized chillingplant .Havingone source of water
results in lesser power consumption, higher reliability and reduced
environment a limp act .For the treatment of wastewater, GIFT city has a
water treatment plant .The treated water can be used for various purposes,
making GIFT a zero discharge zone. We also passed by the construction of
