“…In a water balance study, Rudra (2006) found agriculture to be the major source of water demand in West Bengal and if this was controlled, the state could still achieve self-reliance over water resources. Thatte et al (2007) noted that for India nationally, agriculture accounted for 83% of water requirements with just 4% each required for domestic purposes and industry. The present study supports these earlier findings for a small spatial unit, with agriculture dominating water requirements, followed by the domestic and industrial sectors.…”

“…Aside from demand management, local water budgets can be used to plan resource transfers from water-abundant catchments to water-scarce ones. In an Indian context, a programme of inter-basin transfers has been developed as a strategic planning initiative through the National Water Policy, enacted in 1997 and revised in 2002 (Thatte, 2007). Since under-or over-prediction in water budgets will affect planning of inter-basin transfers, this underscores the importance of local assessment of both water availability and requirements.…”

Abstract:The objective of this study is to measure the balance of water demand versus water resource availability in an interfluve of West Bengal, India to support water resource planning, particularly of inter-basin transfers. Surface water availability was modelled using the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) model, whilst groundwater availability was modelled based on water level fluctuations and the rainfall infiltration method. Water use was modelled separately for the agricultural, industrial, and domestic sectors using a predominantly normative approach and water use to availability ratios calculated for different administrative areas within the interfluve. Overall, the approach suggested that the interfluve receives 327×10 6 m 3 year -1 of excess water after satisfying these sectoral demands, but that the eastern part of the study area is in deficit. However, a sensitivity analysis carried on the approach to several assumptions in the model suggested changed circumstances would produce surplus/deficit ranging from -215×10 6 m 3 year -1 to 435 ×106 m 3 year -1 . The approach could have potential for localised water balance modelling in other Indian catchments.

The problematic water situation in Egypt, as one of the River Nile basin countries, has been heightened by the harmful effects of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on Egypt’s share of the Nile water. In the light of this Egyptian attention was directed towards a study of worldwide transboundary water problems, in order to find the most effective methods for dealing successfully with water shortage problems in basin countries. The present study focuses on the most successful experiences in the management and development of international river basins worldwide, as well as studying the possibility of implementing these experiences in other basins, especially the River Nile basin. The study showed that overcoming the water scarcity problems in Egypt and increasing the Nile water yield for all the basin countries can be achieved, first of all through serious cooperation among all the basin countries for minimizing the huge water losses from the river (more than 1480 Billion Cubic Metres per year which represents roughly 90% of the whole basin income), and secondly to make use of the most successful technical and political experiences that have been implemented in other international river basins mentioned in the present study.

“…The Parbati-Kalisindh-Chambal (PKC) river interlinking project is one of the projects proposed by National Water Development Agency (NWDA), India [1,2]. The study area, surrounding the Kalisindh-Chambal link canal, lies between 23˚29'N and 25˚0'N latitudes, and 75˚20'E and 76˚17'E longitudes.…”

“…The Parbati Kalisindh Chambal river interlinking is a part of peninsular river interlinking project. The surplus water of Parbati and Kalisindh basins is to be diverted to meet the demand in upper Chambal basin [1][2][3][4]. The construction of this link would surely benefit the recipients of additional water but the problems of water logging and salinity due to seepage from canals and irrigation need consideration for planning preventive measures.…”

The canals are designed to transport water to meet irrigation and other water demands or to divert water from surplus basins to deficient basins to meet the ever increasing water demands. Though the positives of canal network are increase in agricultural output and improvement in quality of life, the negatives of canal introduction and irrigation, along its route, are inherent problems of water logging and salinity due to seepage from canals and the irrigation, when not managed properly. To plan strategies to prevent waterlogging and salinity, it is necessary to predict, in advance, the probable area which would be affected due to seepage. This paper presents a methodology to predict the area prone to water logging due to seepage from canal by using 2D seepage solutions to 3D field problem. The available analytical solutions for seepage from canals founded on pervious medium and asymmetrically placed drains, have been utilized. The area, prone to waterlogging, has been mapped using GIS.
