Water Transfer from Purna Dam to Chargad Dam under Gravity in Amravati District

Abstract

Water deficiency is one of severe problem in India. This problem is because of dependency on
rainfall/monsoon, which is not uniform at every place. In some areas, water is found to be
deficient while other area has surplus water. If this surplus water can be transferred to
deficient area then this problem to a greater extent can be sorted out. In the Amravati district
which is the study area in the present work, at one dam there is surplus water while other is
deficient. Hence there is scope of transferring water from surplus to deficient dam. In this
context the study area is analyzed in terms of surplus and water deficiency, and their
capacities are being studied. A suitable route for connecting these dams has been suggested.
