for Water Resources, Govt. of Odisha with U.P Singh, Secretary, Ministry of
water resources river development & Ganga rejuvenation Carlos Ruiz Mariners Jersey , Govt. of India as Guest of Honor. This Conference, the fifth in the series of Dam Safety Conferences, being held in
Bhubaneswar, is a joint initiative of the Government of India, Government of
Odisha and the World Bank under aegis of the ongoing World Bank assisted Dam
Rehabilitation and Improvement Project (DRIP). Dam Safety Conferences are being
organized as an annual event in different DRIP States in collaboration with the
Implementing Agencies and leading academic institutes to provide a common
platform for all stakeholders including non-DRIP States.
Shri Niranjan Pujari in his remarks, said that about 80% of our large dams are over 25 years old.
About 209 dams are over 100 years old and were built in an era when design
practices and safety considerations were much below the current design and
safety norms. Several of these dams are experiencing distress and need attention
for ensuring their structural safety and operational efficiency. He pointed out
that like body needs routine check-up Authentic Steve Cishek Jersey , same is true of dams.
In his remarks, Union Water Resources secretary UP Singh, said, efforts are on for automatic
functioning of Hirakud, which is one of the longest earthen dams in the world.
The Centre has also decided to increase the water retaining capacity of the dam
from the existing 15 lakh to 24 lakh cusecs.??
Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation (MoWR Authentic Robinson Cano Jersey , RD & GR) had been taking various initiatives since late ??0s such as establishment of Dam Safety Organisations in
the CWC and States. In the 1990s a World Bank assisted DSRP project was launched
to rehabilitate 183 distressed dams. In 2012 The Ministry initiated the Dam
Rehabilitation and Improvement Project (DRIP) with a duration of 6 years and
financial outlay of Rs. 2100 crores. Presently, DRIP covers rehabilitation of
198 large dam projects located in seven States namely Jharkhand, Karnataka,
Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha Authentic Randy Johnson Jersey , Tamil Nadu, and Uttarakhand. Government has revised this financial outlay to 3466 crores and extended the duration by two
years to complete the ongoing Project activities. In addition to rehabilitation
of selected dams, DRIP also involves Institutional Strengthening and Project
Management in the ten Implementing Agencies as well as nine academic
institutions primarily aimed at sustained dam safety management. In Odisha, 26
large dams are covered under DRIP for rehabilitation including construction of
an additional spill way for the Hirakud dam to address the hydrological safety
at about Rs. 600 Crore.
Dam Health and Rehabilitation Monitoring Application (DHARMA), a software tool for asset management has been developed to capture
authentic data pertaining to all large dams to act as information repository. It
covers the monitoring and health information to regularly review the safety
aspects of any dam. This tool has the appropriate access to policy makers,
project managers Authentic Nelson Cruz Jersey , and dam managers to review the information and take appropriate action. Government of India is striving to address the issue of
dam safety in a comprehensive way for a quite a long time. In this context,
Union Cabinet approved the Dam Safety Bill in June 2018 and this Bill was
introduced in Parliament in December 2018.
Considering the success of the ongoing DRIP, Government of India proposed Phase-II and Phase-III of DRIP with a
financial outlay of over 10,221.0 Crores to rehabilitate around 700 dams. The
new Project is proposed to be a State Sector Scheme with 10-year duration, with
each proposed Phase of six years duration with two years overlapping. The
government of India has given in-principle approval to this Project and very
shortly is going to pose to World Bank for funding. This Project has wide
spatial coverage; having 18 States and two Central Agencies, and covering about
13% of large dams of India. In addition to three components of ongoing
Scheme Authentic Kyle Seager Jersey , it has additional Component i.e. Revenue Generation through incidental i.e. tourism, fisheries, solar and hydel power,
water recreations etc. The basic objective of these annual events is to give
exposure to non-DRIP States as well as other stakeholders across the Country and
World, to the best global practices and technological advancements to address
the emerging dam safety challenges.
Over 725 delegates comprising dam owners, policy makers Authentic Ken Griffey Jersey , and dam professionals, Scientists, academia etc. took part in the Conference. About 100 overseas experts from 30 Countries
representing all the major continents of the world participating in the
Conference. Moreover During this Conference, 3 important national guidelines, 16
Emergency Action Plans, and 5 Operation and Maintenance Manuals was released. 35
national and international organizations both from within the country and abroad
are showcasing their technologies Authentic Jean Segura Jersey , products and services in the exhibition during the Conference, reflecting the contemporary developments in the dam safety
field.
