Water storage in Ngp division's reservoirs best in Vidarbha
WITH monsoon round the corner water stock available in dams of Vidarbha Region is at quite satisfactory level i.e. 41 percent and 35 per cent in Nagpur and Amravati divisions respectively. As of date the worry factor starts only if the monsoon gets delayed by a prolonged period. Till then it is no worry as the extended monsoon has filled dams to the brim which provided a worry free summer and also has capacity to hold on for a month or so. Similarly, thunderous development of past few days have given indication of start of rainy season within a fortnight.
At pan Maharashtra level the water storage level of Vidarbha and for that matter in Nagpur Division is the best. The next best position in water level is of Amravati Division. At Nagpur it ere are 16 big dams having storage capacity designed to hold .2858 ten million cubic metres of water and right now it is having 1378 TMCM which is about 48 percent. During the two years the water stock available on the same date was 880 TMCM which was about 31 per cent in 2013. and during 2012 it was 822 TMCM which averages to 29 per cent.
Talking about Amravati. it has 9 major dams with designed capacity for 1378 TMCM and storage is 552 TMCM which comes to about 40 per cent. In previous two years the figures were 342 TMCM (25%) in 2013 and 318 (23 %) in 2012.
In Medium Project at Nagpur there are 40 projects having capacity of 551 TMCM and is having 121 TMCM which is 22 per cent In year 2013 it was 68 TMCM which was just 12 per cent and year before in 2012 it was 51 TMCM which was 9 per cent. Amravati Division has 23 projects will L-apacil of 659 TMCM and it has 255 TMCM water storage which is 39 per cent. In 2013 the water stock available was 159 TMCM which was 24 per cent and during 2012 it was 124 TMCM which is about 19 per cent.
In Minor Project at Nagpur there are 310 projects having capacity of 482 TMCM and it is having 106 TMCM which is 22 per cent. In year 2013 it was 61 TMCM which was just 13 per cent and year before in 2012 it was 43 TMCM it'was 9 per cent. Amravati Division has 347 projects with capacity of 874 TMCM and it has 198 TMCM water storage which is about 23 per cent. During year 2013 it was 109 TMCM which is 12 per cent and in 2012 it was 56 TMCM which was 6 per cent. Adding the major, medium and minor projects there are total of 366 projects in Nagpur Division and 379 projects in Amravati Division. During the Rabi season that begins from second week of June the water requirement increases and a failed monsoon could aggravate the matter. A good factor during the current summer season is that water evaporation was quite less and hence the water stock availability is at all time high.
