15. Jindal Steel and Power, Raigarh Study aims suggesting most viable and scientifically managed plan for development and utilization of surface and ground water on a watershed management approach. In order to provide sustainability, number of artificial recharge structures has also been proposed. Detailed hydrogeological and hydrological investigation has been carried out. Various tools such as remote sensing, GIS and advanced analytical techniques has been used at various levels for run off computations, identify suitable areas for ground water development, rain water harvesting and artificial recharge structures.

16. Approach & Findings Detailed hydrogeological and hydrological investigation has been carried out using tools such as remote sensing, GIS and advanced analytical techniques at various levels for run off computations, Suitable areas for ground water development, rain water harvesting and artificial recharge structures have been identified. Surface water availability and surface runoff being generated is assessed in entire study area which is divided into number of watersheds using the drainage network. Area of interest lies in the watershed of Kurdhabhali Nala, covers major part of the project area offering good prospect of water harvesting. British Petroleum, CBM Block, Birbhum…….contd.

17. Approach & Findings Watershed has been divided and demarcated into 11 micro watersheds considering the lowest order of drainage network. The monthly surface water run off computed for each micro watershed and about 10 Million Cubic Meter (MCM) ) of water is assessed as run off from the entire watershed in the four monsoon months. Water harvesting structures designed to harness only 20 to 25% of the flow to the tune of 2 to 2.5 MCM so as to keep minimum flow in the downstream as well as to maintain the ecological balance of the area.
