INTRODUCTION
1.1 General: -
A watershed is the area that drains to a common outlet. It is the basic building
block for land and water planning. A watershed is an area that supplies water by
surface or subsurface flow to a given drainage system or body of water, be it a stream,
river, wetland, lake, or ocean. The characteristics of the water flow and its
relationship to the watershed are a product of interactions between land and water
(geology, slope, rainfall pattern, and soils) and its use and management.
A watershed is thus the basic unit of water supply and the basic
building block for integrated planning of land and water use. Size is not a factor in the
definition, and watersheds vary from a few hectares to thousands of square
kilometers. Unless a watershed discharges directly into the ocean, it is physically a
part of a larger watershed that does, and may be referred to as sub watershed. The
terms basin, watershed, and catchment are often used interchangeably in the literature.
Basin management typically refers to macro-management at the level of the entire
watershed system, sometimes across country boundaries and with a focus on
institutional and policy issues. Present drought situation in Maharashtra is
hydrological worse than in 1972. Construction of large dams, water intensive
cropping patterns, neglect of local water systems and unaccountable water
management are to blame for this unprecedented situation. A former planning
commissioner agrees that large dams are not the solution to Maharashtra’s water
worries.
In spite of acute water scarcity, Water business booms in drought-hit
Marathwada as tanker owners transact Rs.6 million in water sales daily in Jalna town,
Maharashtra. The state must look at renewable energy options to reduce its
dependence on thermal plants and diversion of its precious water to them. In
comparison with the 1972 drought, though there is ample supply of food grains at
present, the drinking water scarcity is much worse. The lesson is that integration of
watershed management activities beyond the milli-watershed requires higher level
technical planning. In best-practice approaches, planning includes an institutional
mechanism where stakeholders have a voice and are able to agree on measures from
the micro-watershed scale upward that can achieve both local and larger scale
1.6 Limitations:-
This type of system depend upon rainfall of the area.
Watershed needs regular maintaining in order to continue working properly.
It needs higher cost to build it.
1.7Advantages
Watershed structure helps to reduce soil erosion during high speed runoff also
save the water from wastage.
It gives improvement in the under- ground water table like bore wells, wells
etc.
It helps to control flood during sudden heavy rainfall.
The stored water improves soil moisture of the adjoining area and allows
percolation to recharge the aquifers

LITERATURE REVIEW
particularly acute problem during the months after the monsoon season. Raigad is one
such district, where a number of villages and hamlets inhabited by adivasis or tribal’s
face acute water shortage leads to many health and socio-economic problems. Also
because of lack of knowledge at village level causes the water scarcity. This study
aim to cater the water scarcity by implementing watershed management practices.
This paper proposes an idea of Plenty of water is available during rainy
season, Particularly in Konkan region where more than 3000 mm rainfall is available.
But in this region slope of river bed is so steep and all the rain water flows towards
the outlet very fast and results in scouring land, it is major problem. By implementing
this method the ground water table is increased thus providing sufficient water to the
farmers during summer season and reducing the call of tankers on which crores of
rupees were spent by the government. This method is cheap and also provides
employment to villagers.
2.1.6 Apipala chanya, Bouphan Prachaak , Tang Keow Ngang, Vol-136, (2014):
This study was an action research of conflict management on use of watershed
resources. The research action was conducted in three phases consisting of studying
current situation, problems and needs of community then followed by analyzing
stakeholders of the pong watershed and the factors affecting to community conflict on
the use of water resources by focus group discussions, and finally developing
community participation on conflict resolution of water resources by community
dialogue. The samples were representatives of 335 households.
From this paper author results from the three phases revealed that conflict
management could be made through community participation process, this process is
the important mean to get through the information of the community. The meeting of
direct and indirect stakeholders had provided the platform to discuss about the
problems and planning conflict management on use of water.

3.4.1. Demand and Supply Analysis
In microeconomics, supply and demand is an economic model of price
determination in a market. It postulates that, holding all else equal, in a competitive
market, the unit price for a particular good, or other traded item such as labor or liquid
financial assets, will vary until it settles at a point where the quantity demanded (at the
current price) will equal the quantity supplied (at the current price), resulting in an
economic equilibrium for price and quantity transacted. Water supply systems get
water from a variety of locations after appropriate treatment, including groundwater
(aquifers), surface water (lakes and rivers), and the sea through desalination. The
water treatment steps include, in most cases, purification, disinfection through
chlorination and sometimes fluoridation. Treated water then either flows by gravity or
is pumped to reservoirs, which can be elevated such as water towers or on the ground
(for indicators related to the efficiency of drinking water distribution see non-revenue
water). Once water is used, wastewater is typically discharged in a sewer system and
treated in a sewage treatment plant before being discharged into a river, lake or the
sea or reused for landscaping, irrigation or industrial use Water supply policies and
regulation are usually defined by one or several Ministries, in consultation with the
legislative branch. In the United States the United States Environmental Protection
Agency, whose administrator reports directly to the President, is responsible for water
and sanitation policy and standard setting within the executive branch. In other
countries responsibility for sector policy is entrusted to a Ministry of Environment
(such as in Mexico and Colombia), to a Ministry of Health (such as in Panama,
Honduras and Uruguay), a Ministry of Public Works (such as in Ecuador and Haiti), a
Ministry of Economy (such as in German states) or a Ministry of Energy (such as in
Iran). A few countries, such as Jordan and Bolivia, even have a Ministry of Water.
Often several Ministries share responsibilities for water supply.
The water in the supply network is maintained at positive pressure to ensure
that water reaches all parts of the network, that a sufficient flow is available at every
take-off point and to ensure that untreated water in the ground cannot enter the
network. The water is typically pressurized by pumping the water into storage tanks
constructed at the highest local point in the network. One network may have several
such service reservoirs.
In small domestic systems, the water may be pressurized by a pressure vessel
or even by an underground cistern (the latter however does need additional
pressurizing). This eliminates the need of a water-tower or any other heightened water
reserve to supply the water pressure.
These systems are usually owned and maintained by local governments, such
as cities, or other public entities, but are occasionally operated by a commercial
enterprise (see water privatization). Water supply networks are part of the master
Fire demand:
Fires generally break in thickly populated localities and the industrial area, and
cause serious damages of properties and sometimes lives of the people arc lost.
Fire may take place due to faulty electric wires by short circuiting, fire catching
materials, explosions, bad intention of criminal people or any other unforeseen mis-
happenings. If fires are not properly controlled and extinguished in minimum possible
time, they lead to serious damages and may burn the cities. All the big cities have full
fire-fighting squads.
As during fire-breakdowns large quantity of water is required for throwing it
over the fire to extinguish it, therefore provision is made in the water works to supply
the cities fire-hydrants are provided on the water mains at 100 to 150 m apart. Fire
brigade men immediately connect these fire-hydrants with their engines and start
throwing water at very high rate on the fire. The minimum water pressure available at
fire hydrants should be of the order of 1.0 to 1.5 kg/cm2 and should be maintained
even after 4 to 5 hours of constant use of fire hydrant. Thus fire demand is generally
calculated based on following empirical formulae.
a) Kuichlings formula = Q = 3182 √P
b) Freemans formula = Q = 1136.50 [ P/5+10]
c) Government of india recommendation = Q = 100√P
d) Bustons formula = Q = 5663√P
e) National board of fire under writers formula = Q = 4637 √P (1- 0.01√P)
Public demand:
Quantity of water required for public utility purposes such as for washing and
sprinkling of roads cleaning of sewers, watering of public parks, gardens, public
fountains etc., comes under public demand. To meet the water demand for public use,
provision of 5% of the total consumption is made while designing the water works for
a city.
Table No. 3.5. Water Consumption
Sr. No. Purpose Water Consumption
1. Public parks 2.5 lit/sq.m/day
2. Road washing 1 to 1.5 lit/sq.m/day
3. Sewer flushing 4.5 lit/hour/day
4. Road side trees 28,150 lit/km/day
large results for rapidly grown cities in comparatively short time. This would apply to
cities with unlimited scope of expansion. As cities grow large, there is a tendency to
decrease in the rate of growth. The future population by using this method is
calculated by using formula
Pn = P x [ 1+ r / 100 ]n
Where,
Pn = Future population.
P = Present population
n = number of decades.
r = average increase in percentage per decades.
Incremental Increase Method
Growth rate is assumed to be progressively increasing or decreasing,
depending upon whether the average of the incremental increases in the past is
positive or negative. The population for a future decade is worked out by adding the
mean arithmetic increase to the last known population as in the arithmetic increase
method and to this is added the average of incremental increases, once for first
decade, twice for second and so on.
P n = P+nd + (n (n+1)/2)*t
Where,
Pn = Future population.
P = Present population
n = number of decades.
d = average increase per decades.
t = average incremental increase.
Decreasing Rate Method
Decreased Rate of Growth Method or Logistic curve Method Rate of
population increase is never constant Population of city grows until saturation point
and it is established by limit of economic opportunity. All population grow according
to logistic or S curve. This method is suitable for the town whose rate of increase in
population is decreasing.
Curvilinear Method
In this it is assumed that the population of a city will grow, in the same
manner as in other cities in the past. This similarity between the cities includes
measured precipitation is the equivalent of one liter of rainfall per metre squared.
Usually a tapering funnel of copper or polyester of standard dimension allows the rain
water to collect in an enclosed bottle or cylinder for subsequent measurement. The
gauge is set in open ground with the funnel rim up to 30 cm above the ground surface.
Some gauges are calibrated to allow the amount of rainfall to be read directly; with
others it must be calculated from the depth of water in the container and the
dimensions of the funnel.
The second type of rain gauge is the autographic gauge which can be either of
the tilting-siphon type or the tipping-bucket type. The recording chart on an
autographic rain gauge is mounted on a drum which is driven by clockwork and
typically rotates round a vertical axis once per day. For a tilting-siphon rain gauge, the
rainwater in a collector displaces a float so that a marking pen attached to the float
makes a continuous trace on the paper. The two buckets in a tipping-bucket rain
gauge rest on a pivot so that when one bucket has received 0.2 (or 0.5 mm) of rain it
tips by gravity, empties the rainwater and allows the other bucket to start collection.
During the tip, an electrical switch is closed and triggers a nearby autographic
recorder to register each 'tilt', thus giving a fairly continuous record of precipitation
and, in a more sophisticated form, even rainfall intensity. Rain gauges must be sited in
as representative a location as possible, but the choice of location is difficult, since
many precipitation events are highly aggregate. King Sejong the Great was the man
who introduced rain gauge to the world. There are advantages and disadvantages of
this instrument.
Types of Rain gauge
Symons Rain Gauge
Non-recording type rain gauge is most common type of rain gauge used by
meteorological department. It consists of a cylindrical vessel 127mm in diameter with
a base enlarged to 210mm diameter.At its top section, funnel is provided with circular
brass rim which is 127mm exactly so that it can fit into vessel well. This funnel shank
is inserted in the neck of a receiving bottle which is 75 to 100mm high from the base
section and thinner than the cylinder, placed into it to receive rainfall.

3.4.4. Runoff
Surface runoff (also known as overland flow) is the flow of water that occurs
when excess storm water, melt water, or other sources flow over the Earth's surface.
This can occur when the soil is saturated to full capacity, and rain arrives more
quickly than soil can absorb it. Surface runoff often occurs because impervious areas
(such as roofs and pavement) do not allow water to soak into the ground. Surface
runoff is a major component of the water cycle. It is the primary agent of soil erosion
by water. The land area producing runoff that drains to a common point is called a
drainage basin.
Runoff that occurs on the ground surface before reaching a channel can be a
nonpoint source of pollution, as it can carry man-made contaminants or natural forms
of pollution (such as rotting leaves). Man-made contaminants in runoff include
petroleum, pesticides, fertilizers and others.
In addition to causing water erosion and pollution, surface runoff in urban
areas is a primary cause of urban flooding, which can result in property damage, damp
and mold in basements, and street flooding.
Inglis Formula
For ghat areas
R(cm) = 0.84P- 30.54 Where P is more than 200 cm
= 0.84 x 516 – 30.54
Run-off = 402.9 cm
For non ghat areas
R (cm) = P(P-17.74)/254 Where P is less than 200 cm
Result-
2017 Runoff, P=606mm
R= 606(606-17.74)/254= 1403.48 mm

Assuming,
f=1
R = 2.12 m below the maximum flood level
Computed flood level at weir site corresponding to the design discharge of
110.37 cumecs is 99.75 m
Keeping the crest level = 99.00 m
Maximum water level = 99.00 + 1.05 = 100.05 m
Thus, there will be a net flood lift of (100.05 – 99.75) i.e. 0.3 m at the weir site
Depth of downstream cutoff = 1.5 R = 1.5 × 2.12 = 3.18 m
Desired R.L. of cut off = 100.05 − 3.18 = 96.87 m
