International Cooperation with Bangladesh

(a) Monitoring of implementation of Ganga Water Treaty 1996.

(b) Bank Protection/embankment works on common border rivers between India and Bangladesh.

(c) Sharing of Waters of other common rivers.

As per the Ganga Water Treaty, 1996, monitoring its implementation is done by this wing and for this purpose, Joint Observation Teams are deputed every year at Harding Bridge in Bangladesh during the lean season i.e. 1st January to 31st May. In addition, inspection of sites and bi-lateral meetings of the joint committee are also held thrice in a year alternatively in both the countries and accordingly annual report is also finalized for submission to both the Governments. Bi-lateral Technical Level meetings are also held with Bangladesh for agreeing to the necessary bank protection /embankment works on common/border rivers and as per the decision necessary works are carried out by both the sides on annual basis. Discussions are continued for sharing of other common rivers between India and Bangladesh.

Flood Forecasting The activity is performed by CWC on major inter-state rivers and their tributaries.

So far, Automatic Data Acquisition System has been installed at 445 stations. 3 Earth receiving stations at New Delhi, Jaipur and Burla have been set up.

21 modelling centres have been equipped with state of art computer equipment for expeditious data analysis, forecast formulation and its speedy dissemination.

Further modernization and expansion of CWC’s network has been proposed in XII Plan.

River Management in Border Areas DPR for Panchehswar Multipurpose Project had been prepared and for mutual agreement on it as well as implementation of project. Pancheshwar Development Authority has been set up at Kathmandu.

Field investigations for Sapta Kosi High Dam have been undertaken jointly by India and Nepal.

Flood Management Programme In October, 2013 the Cabinet approved continuation of FMP in XII Plan with an outlay of Rs. 10,000 crore.

During XII Plan, 97 new projects were approved and central assistance of Rs. 751.84 crore has been released towards ongoing and new works in XII Plan till 15.01.15.

So far, 252 projects have been completed which have been provided reasonable protection in 19.7 lakh hectore of flood affected area in the county.

Pancheshwar Multipurpose Project on Mahakali river (Sharda in India) Field investigations for the Pancheshwar Multipurpose Project had been

completed by Joint Project Office (JPO-PI) in 2002 (except for some

confirmatory tests) and draft DPRs prepared. But, mutually acceptable DPR of Pancheshwar Project could not be finalized due to differences on certain contentious issues.

In terms of Article 10 of the Mahakali Treaty signed in 1996, Pancheshwar Development Authority (PDA) for execution, operation and maintenance of Pancheshwar Project has been constituted. Two meetings of the Governing Body(GB) of PDA have been held and Statute of the Authority signed and allocation of posts of CEO/ACEO and six Executive Directors of PDA have been decided. Process for filling up of these posts is on.

Review of the draft DPRs and assessment of additional data requirement for finalising the DPR has been completed.

SaptaKosi High Dam Project, Sun KosiStorage-cum-Diversion Scheme and Kamla and Bagmati Dam Projects

The field investigations and DPR preparation of Sapta Kosi High Dam Project, SunKosi Storage-cum-Diversion Scheme including feasibility study of Kamla Dam and prefeasibility of Bagmati Dam Projects are being carried out by JPO-SKSKI. Because of political instability in Nepal, these works have been delayed. The tenure of JPO-SKSKI has been extended upto February, 2015 to complete field investigation and preparation of DPR at a revised cost of Rs.104.776 crore.

Indo-Nepal Bilateral Mechanism There exists a well-established bilateral mechanism between India and Nepal to discuss issues related to development of water resources in the rivers common to India and Nepal for their mutual benefits. India-Nepal Joint Standing Technical Committee (JSTC) decides related technical issues. The fourth meeting of JSTC was held in September 2013 at Kathmandu.

Sharing of flood information in respect of the common rivers flowing from Nepal

Arrangements for sharing of flood information exists between India and Nepal since 1989 and hydro-meteorological data collected by Nepalese personnel is made available to India, which helps in formulation of flood forecasts and keeping watch on the flood situation in UP and Bihar. A Task Force has identified key stations in Nepal and assess requirement of modern equipments in order to have more effectiveness in data collection and transmission for flood forecasting on Indian side. The same is likely to be discussed in the 9th meeting of Joint Committee on Inundation and Flood Management (JCIFM) being proposed to be held in first fortnight of February 2015.
