PREAMBLE
1. Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL), a Karnataka Government
under taking was allotted to develop power at Shivasamudram across Cauvery
river. KPCL has prepared a Detailed Project Report based on the detailed
investigations carried out. It is proposed to generate power at Shivasamudram
site as a run of the river scheme without any storage or consumptive use of
water. The DPR for the proposed project is named as Shivasamudram Run of
the river power project. The proposal consists of diversion of water from
Bharachukki branch of Cauvery river by constructing a small diversion weir to
an underground power house. The water after generating power will be led
back to the river through a tunnel.
2. After studying the flow details across Cauvery river at Shivanasamudram for a
period of 42 years from 1971-72 to 2012-13, the installed capacity has been
fixed at 300 MW (3 units of 100 MW each) as an underground power house.
3. Hence, it is proposed to implement the Shivasamudram run of the river

project in two Phases, in Phase-I 2 x 100 MW capacity underground power
house will be implemented and the balance 1 x 100 MW will be implemented
in Phase-II.
4. The total area required for the revised proposal is estimated as 165 Ha
90 Ha). The total cost of the project including
(Including submersible area of 20
IDC works out to Rs. 893.65 crores. The energy for the 90% dependable year
is 815.09 MU. The Levelised Tariff works out to Rs 2.58 per unit.

SYNOPSIS
1. Hydropower is a renewable, non-polluting and environmentally benign source

of energy. It is perhaps the oldest renewable energy technique known to the
mankind for mechanical energy conversion as well as electricity generation.
Hydropower represents use of water resources towards inflation free energy
due to absence of recurring fuel cost with mature technology characterized by
highest prime moving efficiency and spectacular operational flexibility.
Hydropower contributes around 22% of the World electricity supply
generated from about 7, 50,000 MW of installed capacity and in many
countries, it is the main source of power generation e.g. Norway – 99%, Brazil-
86%, Switzerland – 76% and Sweden – 50%.
2. The world’s Largest Hydro Electric Power Stations are three gauges project in
China on Yang-Yang river having installed capacity of around 18,200 MW and
ITAIPU with installed capacity of 12600 MW and a reliable output of 75,000
MU in a year located at the Border of Brazil and Paraguay.
3. Power generating total installed capacity in India is of the order of 3,02,833

MW, which includes around 42,783 MW (14.1%) from hydro. Despite
hydroelectric projects being recognized as the most economic and renewable
source of electricity, the share of hydropower in India has been declining since
1963. The hydro share declined from 50% in 1963 to about 14% in 2016. For
grid stability the ideal hydro-thermal mix ratio is 40:60. It is therefore,
necessary to correct the hydro-thermal mix to meet the grid requirements and
peak power shortage. The Government of India has announced, in August,
1998 Policy on Hydro Power Development, followed by 50,000 MW hydro-
electric initiatives in May, 2003.
4. India is a country with a dynamic economy growing at over 8% - 9% per

annum. There is going to be a growing demand for energy. To meet the
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-3
demand for energy, the main power resource potential of the country i.e. coal
and hydropower needs to be exploited to the full extent.
5. The electricity sector in India is predominantly controlled by Government of

India's public sector undertakings (PSUs). Major PSUs involved in the
generation of electricity include National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC),
National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) and Nuclear Power
Corporation of India (NPCI). Besides PSUs, several state-level corporations,
such as Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL), are also involved in the
generation of electricity. The transmission and distribution is managed by the
State Transmission Corporations and distribution companies.
6. India is world's 6th largest energy consumer, accounting for 3.4% of global
energy consumption. Due to India's economic rise, the demand for energy has
grown at an average of 3.6% per annum over the past 30 years. More than 50%
of India's commercial energy demand is met through the country's vast coal
reserves. About 76% of the electricity consumed in India is generated by
thermal power plants, 21% by hydroelectric power plants and 4% by nuclear
power plants. The country has also invested heavily in recent years on
renewable sources of energy such as wind energy.
7. As on April 2016, the installed power generation capacity of India stood at

302833 MW while the power consumption stood at 62148 MU. The country's
annual power production increased from about 190 billion kWH in 1986 to
more than 62148 MU in 2010-11. The Indian government has set an ambitious
target to add approximately 78,000 MW of installed generation capacity by
2012. The total demand for electricity in India is expected to cross 950,000
MW by 2030. The power requirement will treble by 2020 to 400,000 MW from
the current 145,000 MW.
8. Despite an ambitious rural electrification programme, some 400 million

Indians still have no access to electricity. While 80 percent of Indian villages
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-4
have at least an electricity line, just 44 percent of rural households have

access to electricity. According to a sample of 97,882 households in 2002,
electricity was the main source of lighting for 53% of rural households
compared to 36% in 1993 Multi Commodity Exchange has sought
permission to offer electricity future markets.
9. The exploitation of non-conventional energy sources like biomass, solar,

wind and hydro has been recognized as a thrust area by the Ministry of Non-
Conventional Energy Sources. The National Electricity Policy, announced by
the Government in February 2005 has identified the hydro generation as a
thrust area for development
10. Hydropower is clean, renewable, economical and environment friendly.

Hence maximum emphasis should be laid on the full development of the
feasible hydro potential in the country. It is the preferred source of power,
particularly in the context of rising fuel costs and environmental concerns of
global warming.
11. Development of hydro potential is not only needed for socio economic
development of the region, where the hydro potential lies but also for overall
development of the nation.
12. The hydro power generation is highly capital-intensive mode of electricity

generation but being renewable source of energy with no consumables
involved; there is very little recurring cost and hence no high long term
expenditure. It is cheaper as compared to electricity generated from coal and
gas fired plants. It also reduces the financial losses due to frequency
fluctuations and it is more reliable as it is inflation free since fossil fuel is not
used.
13. Hydropower projects have certain distinctive advantages over other sources of
electricity generation, as discussed below:
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-5
a) Technical Benefits
Hydropower projects are known to have much longer life and provide
cheaper electricity as there is no fuel cost and as the recurring cost involved
in generation, operation and maintenance is lower than that in case of other
sources of energy.
b) Environmental Benefits
Uses Renewable and pollution free source of Energy i.e water,
Increase in Agriculture Productivity through development of irrigation and

multipurpose schemes, having generation of electricity as one of the
objectives, wherever possible and feasible.
Avoided Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from equivalent thermal and
other fuel based power projects.
Involve large scale afforestation activities under various schemes like

Compensatory Afforestation, Catchment Area Treatment, Green Belt
Development, Voluntary Afforestation etc. which ultimately improves the
environmental quality of the project area.
Flood Mitigation through large storage dams.
Source of Drinking Water
c) Social Benefits
Hydro projects are a boon to the society and the population at and around
the projects. With enhanced employment opportunities, increased earnings,
enriched life style and improved standard of living, the people in these
localities experience an economic and social up-liftment. Reservoir area is
an ideal place for recreation and source of eco-tourism promotion in the
area. The reservoirs are also used for promoting pisciculture. There are
other direct benefits accruing from hydro projects and dams such as
increased water for improved irrigation, and drinking water to villages and
people living in and around the project area.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-6
Advantages of Hydro Power
 A renewable source of energy - saves scarce fuel reserves.

 Non-polluting and hence environment friendly.
 Long life - The first hydro project completed in 1897 is still in operation
at Darjeeling is still in operation.
 Cost of generation, operation and maintenance is lower than the other
sources of energy.
 Ability to start and stop quickly and instantaneous load
acceptance/rejection makes it suitable to meet peak demand and for
enhancing system reliability and stability.
 Has higher efficiency (over 90%) compared to thermal (35 to40 %) and
gas (around 50%).
 Cost of generation is free from inflationary effects after the initial
installation.
 Storage based hydro schemes often provide attendant benefits of
irrigation, flood control, drinking water supply, navigation, recreation,
tourism, pisiculture etc.
 Being located in remote regions leads to development of interior
backward areas (education, medical, road communication,
telecommunication etc.)
14. Hydro projects call for large initial capital investment but once completed
require no further ‘fuel’ costs but only the O&M expenses once the debt has
been serviced.
15. India was one of the pioneering states in establishing hydro-electric power
plants, The power plant at Darjeeling and Shimsa (Shivanasamudra) were
established in 1898 and 1902 respectively and is one of the first in Asia. The
installed capacity as on April 2016 is approximately 42783 MW. The public
sector has a predominant share of 97% in this sector. The hydro power
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-7
potential of India is around 1,48,701 MW and at 60% load factor, it can meet
the demand of around 84,000 MW.
16. The proposed Shivasamudram Seasonal Power Scheme adds 200 MW of

installed capacity with an annual generation of 815.09 MU at 90 %
dependability.

ENERGY SCENARIO IN KARNATAKA
1. Karnataka has made outstanding achievements in the field of

information technology and striving hard to achieve similar milestone in
the field of biotechnology. Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka is
considered as Silicon Valley of India. The software exports from
Bangalore alone amounts to more than 50% of the total exports from
India. The government of Karnataka has very ambitious plans to
multiply the software exports from the state in the coming years. Almost
all the major companies in the field of information technology / software
development have their establishments in Bangalore. Therefore, it has
become all the more important for GOK to provide basic infrastructure
facilities for these companies to achieve their goals/trades.
2. The basic infrastructure requirements are, providing good roads,

uninterrupted water and power supply etc. The increase in power
demand due to the accelerated development of Industries,
transportation, water supply and agriculture have resulted in severe
shortage of power, especially peaking power in the state. The
substantial increase in use of electricity for agricultural pump sets over
the years, rural electrification and AT & C line losses have added to
woes of the state in the power sector.
3. The generation of power in the state is not matching with the

accelerated demand for power from the industrial sector. The annual
energy consumption for the previous fifteen years is indicated below.
Year Average energy consumption in MU

2001-2002 29190
2002-2003 29375

2013-2014 58495
2014-2015 60668
2015-2016 62148
4. The above figures are not indicative of the correct consumption as

these are in spite of unscheduled power cuts, load shedding and
tripping of the stations. The peak power and energy requirements of
the state at the end of 12th Five Year Plan is 13010MW & 78637MU
respectively. Peak demand deficit in the state has increased from 5% in
FY 2005-06 to 19% in FY 2011-12. The peak power & energy
requirement for the next five years as per 18th Electric power survey
report is as indicated below:
Energy
Year Peak load requirement
2016-17 13010 78637
2017-18 13964 83917
2018-19 14945 89285
2019-20 16005 95059
2020-21 17159 101309
5. The total installed capacity in Karnataka including firm share from CGS
as on 30.04.2016 is 17324MW. Out of this KPCL contribution accounts
to 8024MW. Share from CGS, IPP & Renewable Energy Sources
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-14
accounts to 2105MW, 2166MW & 5030MW respectively. Number of

generating stations (hydro, coal based etc.) are planned to be
commissioned up to FY 2019. The additional capacity planned for
future available from various sources is summarized below:
Capacity Entitlement in
Source MW
State Owned 3030
Private Sector (UPCL Expansion
Project) 1200
Renewable Energy Sources 5415
State's Share from CGS 1575
Total 11220
Karnataka state is bestowed with rich hydro power potential of about

8250 MW, it has not been possible to harness more than 3667.3 MW
of hydel power till today. This is due to the fact that, though many of
the rivers have large hydro power potential, the projects envisaged on
these rivers are entangled with either environmental problems or
interstate water disputes.
6. As the state do not have other sources of energy like fossil fuels, geo-
thermal etc., the only renewable source of power is through the hydro
power development. Of late, though the impetus is on generation of
thermal power due to short gestation period, in the long run only hydro-
power has to be developed to reduce cost of energy and also to meet
the requirements of peak power. Moreover, hydro-power is eco-
friendly.
7. The demand and supply gap is going to widen in the years to come,
unless new power projects are not taken up immediately, to meet the
power requirement. Therefore, it is necessary to take up power
projects, which can add to generating capacity.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-15
8. In this direction, Shivasamudram Seasonal Power Scheme which is a

run-of the river scheme can contribute precious 300 MW of power
during monsoon months, out of which 2x 100 MW will be implemented
in Phase I and the balance 100 MW will be implemented in Phase II.
The advantages of taking up this project are briefly indicated below:
 The entire submersion lies in Karnataka
 The total submersion is around 90 Hectares
 Most of the submersion is confined to the river course (65 Ha.)
 No forest land is going to be submerged
 No village gets submerged and hence R & R issues are minimum
 No temple or any monuments are going to be submerged
 There is no consumptive use of water
 The number of components is bare minimum
 The estimated cost of the project is 893.65 crores including IDC as
per the present rates
 The project can be completed in about 48 months
 This project adds 200 MW to the state grid
 The energy potential from the project is 815.09 MU per annum
(90% dep.)
 The cost of generation is Rs. 2.58 (levelised tariff).
9. The Karnataka State was in a comfortable position as regards its

requirement of power till 1972. However shortage of power availability
in relation to demand arose from 1973 onwards and this shortage has
been increasing steadily due to the growth of demand exceeding
addition to the generation capacity. The shortage of power has
necessitated power cuts on H.T consumers also. Even L.T consumers
are not spared from scheduled and unscheduled power cuts. The
deficit in power availability affects not only individual development but
also the other sections of economy including agriculture and individual
life of common man.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-16
10. The present energy requirement of Karnataka during FY 2015-16 was

65,479 MU as per the CEA reports with deficit of 3,331MU (5.1%). The
deficit for the financial year 2015-16 was 688MW accounting to 6.7%.
11. Hydro power is a perpetual clean power with least running cost as well
renewable source of energy. Hence development of hydro power
where ever the scope exists gains importance and needs to be
harnessed. In the present conditions the cost of energy at the time of
low frequencies is very high. The monsoon generations from this
project will augment storing waters in the other storage based projects.
This saving of water during monsoon and the small storage
contemplated from this project will augment low cost energy during
peak hours of non-monsoon periods, thus importing of energy at very
high cost can be reduced considerably. This will also help in
maintaining the frequencies during peaking hours by augmentation of
required high installed capacities. Generation in monsoon period will
facilitate taking thermal units for annual maintenance.
12. It is proposed to take up the project in 2 phases. In the Phase I of the

project it is proposed to install the underground power house with an
installed capacity of 200 MW (2x 100 MW) and the balance 100 MW
will be implemented in the Phase II ( 1 x 100 MW UGPH).
13. Shivasamudram Run of the river Power Project is contemplated as a

run of the river Scheme across Cauvery river at Shivasamudram. A
small diversion dam is constructed with an average height of about 9.0
m on the right limb of the river. The intake structure will be on the right
bank of the pickup lake with its level at EL 615.40 m. envisages
diverting waters from the main river. An underground power house with
a tail race tunnel leading in to the water back into the river course has
been proposed.

CHAPTER –I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Type of Project
“Shivasamudram Run of the river Power Project’ is contemplated as
a run of the river Scheme for power generation across Cauvery river
at Shivasamudram. The scheme requires a small diversion weir with
a height of about 7.5 m on the right limb of the river for creating a
small pondage. The intake structure will be on the right bank of the
pickup lake with its level at EL 615.4 m. envisages diverting waters
from the main river. An underground power house with a tail race
tunnel are proposed for generating power.
1.2 Location of the project area:

1.2.1 River Cauvery which is generally an east flowing river runs in a
South – North direction after the Kollegal road bridge for a distance
of 6 to 6.5 Km. Thereafter the river turns east and continues its
onward journey. The area near the proposed project is generally
plain in the river is wide. The Cauvery river immediately on the
downstream of Kollegal bridge bifurcates into two limbs forming an
island extending over an area of 11 sq. Kms. There is one small
village on this island with two temples and a Darga. 340 Ha. of land
on this island is under irrigation. Water for irrigation is drawn from the
right limb of the Cauvery river.
1.2.1 The proposed weir across the right limb of Cauvery river lies near
Shivasamudram village and the proposed surface power house is
near Bhudakatte Doddi village of Chamarajanagara district.
1.2.2 The entire project area proposed is spread over the area from
Kollegal bridge up to the confluence of a small tributary with Cauvery
river extending over Latitudes 120 15’N to 120 20’ N and Longitudes
770 08’ E to 770 15’E. A map indicating the location of the project

1.4 General Climatic Conditions in the project area:

1.4.1 The project site is situated at an elevation of 600m above sea level.
The general climate is temperate. The temperature varies from 20
deg C to 26 deg C. Diurnal variation in temperature is small.
1.4.2 The rainfall near the project site is scanty and is about 800 mm per
annum. The area receives rainfall both during SW and NE monsoons
from June to November.
1.5 Description of Topography, Physiography and Geology of the

project
Area:
1.5.1 The Shivanasamudram Run-Of- River Power Project envisages
utilization of additional hydraulic head of the River Cauvery near
0
Shivanasamudram ( Toposheet No. 57-H/3; Latitude : 12 16’ &
Longitude 77 0 10’ ) by diverting the flood waters of the right limb of
the Cauvery River i.e Bharachukki Falls by constructing the
following components
1. Pick up weir
2. Approach channel
3. Intake Structure
4. Pressure Shaft
5. UGPH
6 Access Tunnel to UGPH
7. Tailrace Tunnel
8 Intermediate Adit
1.5.2 Topography and Geomorphology:

The project area more or less is a plain land dissected by a deep cliff
carved by the river on the northern side. The drainage pattern of the
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-25
terrain seems to be guided by joint system in the formations and the

region is covered over by thin granitic soil mantle and is devoid of
vegetation. At Shivasamudram the river branches into two. The
western branch is known as Gaganachukki falls (70 m) and eastern
branch is known as Bharachukki falls ( 56 m ). These two branches
then again unite and flow in an easterly direction.
1.5.3 Regional Geology:

The regional geology indicates that this area is situated at the margin
of the Closepet granites. Varying mineral composition has been
observed in the rock formation here. The formation include granite,
granite gneiss, migmatites, pegmatites ,charnockite bands and the
intrusive dykes. It is reported that the occurrence of Charnockite
patches is due to the transformation of gneisses into charnockitic
composition. The trend of foliation in the gneisses is N 150 to 200 W
– S150-250 W with a near vertical dip or steep dips on either side
Amphibolite xenoliths are aligned parallel to the gneissosity. The cliff
faces of the gorge and the river bed all along are exposed with
massive granitic formations. The existence of Gaganachukki and
Bharachukki water falls in the longitudinal profile of the river Cauvery
is a clear manifestation of uplift involving faulting in this area .
1.5.4 GEOLOGY OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE PROJECT

1. WEIR SITE - A 515m long and 15.00 m height from the deepest
foundation level is proposed on the right limb of the Cauvery River at
1 .1 km upstream of 56.00 m high Bharachukki falls. The weir
alignment runs in East-West direction. Massive granite gneiss,
pegmatite are exposed all along the alignment, river course as well
as on the right abutment. The foliation trend is N200 W-S200 E dips
near vertical. Amphibolite occurs as xenoliths parallel to the foliation.
2. APPROACH CHANNEL – In order to feed water from the
reservoir to UGPH, a 117 m long Approach Channel is proposed at
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-26
upstream of the weir alignment on the right bank of river. The

channel passes through valley. The channel deepest bed level is RL.
587.00m near Intake point. Exposures of granite gneiss are seen
between ch. 0 & 50.00m at left side of the proposed channel.
Between 0 and 30.00m granite gneiss exposures are seen at right
side of the channel. Rest of the reach is covered by soil.
3. INTAKE STRUCTURE – An intake structure is proposed to
regulate the diverted waters to the powerhouse. The proposed
Intake area is covered by soil. Site conditions indicate that, fresh
rock would be available at RL. 587.00m.
4. INCLINED PRSSURE SHAFT – A 212.00 m long, 7.5 m dia
pressure shaft with an inclination of 510 degree is proposed for
drawing the water from the intake to UGPH. This alignment passes
through a hillock comprising of granite gneiss/migmatites. On both
sides of the proposed alignment at some places, isolated exposures
of hard, fresh and blocky granite /migmatites and amphibolites are
exposed.
5- UNDER GROUND POWER HOUSE (UGPH) – An Underground
powerhouse is proposed to be located in an area of 140.00 m along
NE-SW direction and 60.00m along NW-SE direction to
accommodate valve chamber, machine hall and transformer hall at
an average RL of 420 m. The powerhouse will be seated in Granite
gneiss rock. The ground surface is covered by a soil mantle with
occasional exposures of granite gneiss.
6. ACCESS TUNNEL TO UGPH - In order to access the UGPH ,
transformer hall and other annexes, 1790m long, D-shape
(dimension of 7 m X 7 m ). Access Tunnel is proposed . Granite
gneiss / migmatite with xenoliths of amphibolites is seen at some
places and soil in the rest of the area. The media of excavation
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-27
would be granite gneiss. The adit passes through Tenginahalla

alignment where fractured/sheared rock is noticed.
7. TAILRACE TUNNEL- A 4.50 km long D-shaped tail race tunnel
having 9X9m size is proposed with its Invert level near the UGPH is
RL. 435.00m and at the end i.e exit point the invert level is RL.
427.00m. The TRT alignment traversing in N 550 E direction. The
alignment passes through four nalas i.e Tenginahalla,
Goravihalla,Basarihalla and Mudukihalla. At some places the
alignment passes through hillocks. Isolated outcrops of granite
gneiss/migmatites and xenoliths of amphibolites are seen at the
proposed alignment particularly along valley and hillocks. The media
of excavation would be granite gneiss. It is anticipated that
fractured/sheared rock may occur at some places because of the
dense joint pattern.
8. INTERMEDIATE ADIT –To facilitate speedy execution of tunnel, a
932.00 m long D-shape with size 5 m x 5m adit is proposed which
intersects TRT at Ch. 3000m. The adit alignment is oriented in
N460W direction. Soil cover and exposures of granite is seen along
alignment.
1.6 Historical Background of the project:
1.6.1 Power development in Cauvery river from Shivasamudram falls up-to
Mettur reservoir is under consideration of the State for quite some
time. The run of the river power generation at Shivasamudram falls
is part of the proposed development and fits in with the overall
development.
1.6.2 Earlier proposal:

A Detailed Project Report for power generation at Shivasamudram
was first prepared and submitted to CEA for clearance during
October 1987. Central Electricity Authority has returned the Project
report of SSPH during Feb. 1988 with the following remarks. “The
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-28
Scheme involves interstate aspects mainly due to its location in the
Cauvery basin. The matter has been referred to Department of
Power for resolution and clearance from interstate angle. It is
requested that KPCL may also take up this matter at an appropriate
level. Processing of this scheme for techno economic clearance of
CEA can be done only after the interstate aspects are resolved”
The Cauvery Water Dispute Tribunal given its final decision on 5th
February 2007 (details of the same has been furnished in Chapter
4). In the order, CWDT has stated the following “Nothing in the order
of this Tribunal shall impair the right or power or authority of any
state to regulate within its boundaries the use of water, or to enjoy
the benefit of waters within that State in a manner not inconsistent
with the order of this Tribunal.”
1.6.3 Present proposal:

Now, it is proposed to implement the underground power house in 2
phases. In the Phase I of the project it is proposed to install the
underground power house with an installed capacity of 200 MW (2x
100 MW) and the balance 100 MW will be implemented in the Phase
II ( 1 x 100 MW UGPH).
1.6.4 After studying the flow details across Cauvery river at

Shivasamudram for a period of 42 years from 1971-72 to 2012-13,
the installed capacities have been fixed at 300 MW (3 units of 100
MW each) for underground power house. The ultimate installed
capacity proposed at Shivasamudram is 300 MW.
1.7 Need for the project –options and justifications:

1.7.1 The power scenario in Karnataka has been explained in the
Synopsis. The State was in a comfortable position in the power
sector till 1972. However, shortage from 1973 onwards as the
additional capacity failed to keep pace with the growth in demand
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-29
and this shortage is increasing steadily. This deficit in power

availability affects not only industrial development but also other
sectors of economy including agriculture.
1.7.2 The run of the river generation from the proposed Shivasamudram
project would be substantial during the monsoon months from July to
October. During these months, the thermal units could be taken up
for annual maintenance to absorb the seasonal power. The power
potential in Cauvery river at Shivasamudram could be economically
harnessed and assimilated in the system.
1.8 Alternative studies carried out for various major components

and final choice of parameters:
1.8.1 The Cauvery river is one of the important rivers in Karnataka. In the
state of Karnataka the river flows almost flat and is suitable for
irrigation. There are several irrigation projects in the basin and its
development is explained in elsewhere in the report.
1.8.2 The Cauvery river has two drops along its course in the State
namely Chunchanakatte falls and Shivasamudram falls. The first fall,
the Chuchanakatte falls with a small drop of around 18 m, is located
upstream of KRS dam and its potential has been fully exploited
through an IPP. The drop at Shivasamudram which is of interest in
view of the scope it offers for hydro power generation.
1.8.3 The Cauvery river on the downstream of KRS and Kabini dams, runs
in a South-North direction after the Kollegal road bridge for a
distance of around 6 kms. The river bifurcates into two limbs
immediately after the bridge forming an island. The river then falls
through a height of more than 55 m within a short distance. The falls
from the left limb is called Gaganachukki falls and the falls from the
right limb is called Bharachukki falls. Both the limbs after the falls
unite forming an island between them. The river then turns east and
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-30
continues its journey. There are some more rapids after which the
river flows flat. It is proposed to exploit the head available between
the Kollegal road bridge and the river bed after the two falls for
power generation.
1.8.4 The general layout of the area and the river course from the
downstream of Kollegal road bridge is enclosed vide drawing No.
SRPP/Civil/01.
1.8.5 The first major component is a diversion weir/dam for diverting the
water to the powerhouse for power generation. As the river is taking
a right turn after the two falls, the river diversion will have to be taken
up from the right limb of the river. Further there is an existing weir
across left limb of the river with an FRL of EL 615.40 m. This weir
facilitates diversion of water to Bangalore Water Supply and for
power generation at the existing Shimsha and Shiva power houses.
1.8.6 The river course from Kollegal bridge from where the river splits in to
two limbs and the falls is less than 3 to 4 km. A suitable location for a
diversion weir is available at about 1 km upstream of Bharachukki
falls where the river course is narrow. The deepest river bed at the
site is EL 606 m. Fresh rock is exposed in the river bed. Abutments
have overburden varying from 6 m to 8m.
The crest level of the existing weir on the left limb of the Cauvery
river is at EL 614.15 m. It is proposed to keep the crest level of the
proposed diversion weir across the right limb at EL 614.15 m, same
as the crest level of the existing weir across right limb, to form a
common reservoir.
1.8.7 The flood lift works out to 4m, the MWL being EL 618.15 m. It was
first proposed to extend the weir up to this level on the left bank of
the right wing. The length of the weir was 885 m long. This
necessitates acquiring the agricultural land and plantations in the
island.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-31
1.8.8 In order to save the agricultural land in the island, it was later
decided to restrict the length of the weir up to the river course and to
have an earthen bund all along the river course on the left bank of
the right limb up to the MWL with necessary free board so that the
lands can be protected during floods from flooding. In the normal
course the submersion is restricted to river course only. The length
of the weir will be only 528 m. (OF length of 415 m and NOF length
of 113 m).
The details of the proposal are indicated in the layout drawing no.
SRRP /Civil/8, 9 & 10.
1.8.9 There is a small valley on the right bank of the river just upstream of
the proposed weir site which is an ideal site for intake channel. The
underground power house is located at a distance of around 300 m
from the weir site. The topography is ideal for locating the above
components and no alternate sites are available for the same.
1.8.10 The underground power house is approximately 225 m horizontally

from the intake. The power house cavern is 68 m long, 21 m wide
and 44.75 m high. The transformer cavern is 78 m long, 17 m wide
and 15 m high.
1.8.11 The tailrace tunnel was first aligned to coincide with a level of EL 440
m near the confluence of Muduki halla with Cauvery river with an exit
level of EL 440 m. Later the alignment was changed and is let out
into a small nala leading in to the river.
1.8.12 A map showing the alternate proposals / alignments studied before

finalizing the present scheme is enclosed vide drawing No. SRPP /
Civil / 08.
1.9 The Natural Resources of the State / Region:

1.9.1 The Karnataka state has enormous hydro potential with a number of
west flowing rivers, which are short in length and ideal for power
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-32
generation. However the state does not have any coal reserves and
the coal is being transported to the existing ‘Raichur Thermal Power
Station’ and ‘Bellary Thermal Power Station’ from Collieries which
are located at a minimum distance of 500 kms from the project.
1.9.2 The rail traffic congestion poses restriction for putting up new coal
power plants at load centers and hence the new coal plants have to
come up at pit heads only. However coastal sites could be
developed with imported coal.
Further Karnataka state has strategic advantage to source the gas in
future through pipeline from either Mangalore (LNG) or Krishna
Godhavari basin (NG) or Dhabol on competitive basis. Opening up
of Krishna-Ghodavari gas sources in a big way by Reliance Gas
Company and Gujarat State Gas Company strengthens the fact that
future energy source could be gas.
1.10 Socio – Economic issues including Tribal, Backward and

Drought areas:
1.10.1 The area is not backward and is not a backward or drought area
1.11 Land required for the project construction:

1.11.1 The land required for the project include the submersion area, land
required for seating the weir, for the proposed bund along the left
bank of the river, for tailrace pond, underground power house etc.
Though several components like main power house, tailrace tunnel,
access tunnel, adit tunnel etc. are underground, the area on the
surface of these components is to be acquired. In addition the
project requires land required for diversion roads, dump yards,
contractor camps, field offices, magazine building etc required for the
construction of the project. The abstract details of land required are
listed below.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-33
1. Submersion area : 90 Ha.

2. Underground PH
3. Water conductor systems (Pressure shaft,
TRT, Access tunnel, Adit etc.)
4. Outdoor yard (ODY)
5. Intake : 75 Ha.
6. Contractor camps & field office
7. Dump yards
8. Magazine building
9. Roads
1.11.2 The total area of land required is 165 Ha. Out of this 90 Ha comes
under submersion, 66 Ha is required for weir seating, intake, ODY
dump yards, labor camps contractors field office etc, 9 Ha is the land
coming above the underground structures.
1.11.3 A map showing all the land required for the project is prepared and
enclosed vides Drawing No. SRRP / Civil / 7.
1.12 Population affected by the project and occupation of the people

affected:
The proposed Shivasamudram Run of the river power is a purely run
of the river project with minimum storage restricted to the river
course. No houses are coming under submersion and no population
is affected. All the components of the project are located in forest
land.
1.13 Environmental Aspects:

1.13.1 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study which includes
identification, prediction and evaluation of potential impacts of the
project on the environmental quality within the study area has been
entrusted to ‘Institute for catchment studies and environmental
management – ICSEM, Bengaluru’. The agency has studied the
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-34
environmental aspects as per the prescribed ‘TOR’ by MOEF. The

EIA report covers the environmental aspects of the project.
1.14 Inter – State Aspects

1.14.1 The inter-state river Cauvery and its valley encompass the State of
Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and the Union Territory of
Pondicherry. Due to the topographical features, historically the
irrigation in the Cauvery basin developed in the low lying areas and
delta region at the mouth of the river then lying in the Madras
Presidency. When utilization of water in Mysore was taken up for
consideration, conflict or dispute erupted between the old users
represented by Madras and new users represented--by Mysore.
1.14.2 Later the conflict went to Supreme Court. After several hearings, the
Supreme Court in its judgment of May 1990 directed the Government
of India to constitute a Tribunal under the provisions of the Inter-State
Water Disputes Act, 1956. Accordingly, the Cauvery Water Disputes
Tribunal (CWDT) was established on 2nd June 1990. The details are
discussed in detail in Chapter IV of this report.
1.15 Defense angle:

There is no defense establishment near the project.
1.16 Cost and Benefits of the scheme

1.16.1 Financial and Economic studies:
The project is estimated to cost 761.84 Crores which includes Rs.
459.23 crores for Civil works, Rs 302.61 crores towards Electrical &
Electro-Mechanical works, Rs131.81 towards escalation and IDC.
The tariff per Kilo-Watt hour of energy generated at power house bus
bar works out to Rs.2.36/unit for the first year. The levelised Tariff
over a period of 35 Years works out to Rs. 2.58/unit. The details of
the financial analysis and various parameters considered is enclosed
in Annexure volume (Volume II) of the report.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-35
1.16.2 Economic Justification:

The energy generated from Shivasamudram Run of the River
Power Project is proposed to be led to the grid through 220 kv
double circuit transmission line. The tariff at 90% dependable
year works out to Rs. 2.36/unit. for the first year and Rs
2.58/unit is the levelised tariff over a period of 35 years. The cost
of energy is very cheap compared to the present cost of
generation from other sources of energy like Thermal, Diesel,
Gas or other sources. Besides hydel power is pollution free and
eco-friendly compared to Thermal plants. The cost of fuel in case
of Thermal, diesel or gas based plants is escalating continuously
making the hydel source, which is renewable, the cheapest
source of energy.
1.16.3 Energy Contribution:

The energy potential from the project studied for a long period of
42 Years indicates a potential of 841.73 MU in a 90% dependable
year. The average energy potential for the above period is
930.59 MU.
1.17 Construction programme

1.17.1 The total time required for the construction of the project is
estimated as 48 months.

There is a continuous gap in both peak demand and energy availability

throughout the 12th plan period so far.
2.1.5 Goal of power by 2022:
1) The studies by NIAS suggests capacity addition of 1000MW in

Wind power & 1300MW in solar Power by 2017.
2) As per Green corridor report of PGCIL wind capacity to reach
4800MW & solar power to 2500MW by 2022.
3) NIAS suggests for the implementation of 1000MW Pumped Hydro
Storage by 2022 that could produce 1000MW power for 10 hours
in a day.
The power development scenario beyond 11th plan (2012 -2020) as per
CEA’s report to the ministry of power (2003) reports that “The Indian
power system requirement had been assessed to have a hydro power
and thermal /nuclear power mix in the ratio of 40:60 for flexibility in the
system operation depending on typical load pattern. To achieve this mix
and to accelerate the hydro power development, 50,000MW hydro
electric initiative was launched in 2003.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-39
For the 12th plan, CEA has identified a capacity addition requirement of
88,537MW comprising of 10,897MW Hydro, 72,340MW Thermal, and
5,300MW Nuclear.

The 18th electric power survey also indicates that the all India
compounded annual growth rate for the peak power demand works out
to 9.58% during 2009-10 to 2016-17 & 7.27% and during 2016-17 to
2021-22. The growth rate for energy would be 8.55% during 2009-10 to
2016-17 & 7.05% and during 2016-17 to 2021-22. Further the electrical
energy requirement would increase to about 1904861MU by 2021-22
and the peak demand would reach to about 283470MW.
2.1.11 Justification for the project:
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-41
As indicated above, bulk of the power generation should come from

thermal and hydro power plants. In order to build up a reliable, stable
and effective power generation system, the integrated operation of both
thermal and hydro power stations is considered necessary, with thermal
stations operating as base load and hydro stations meeting the
supplemental and peak power requirements.
From the above tables, it could be seen that peak demand and energy
requirements could not be met even after 11th Plan leading to power
cuts in the state and affecting Industries and general public. In order to
overcome the deficit and supplement the grid, run of the river scheme
proposed could be considered for implementation.
Summary
- Need for total approx. 89500MW of generation in the 12th plan in
India and about 8826MW in Karnataka.
- Power supply position during 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-
11 of 11th plan shows peak deficit ranging from 10 to 17% and
energy deficits ranging from 8 to 11%.
- Run of the river plants are preferred due to renewable feature and
low submergence and environmentally friendly.
- After 2014, there is a total change in the planning for large addition
of capacity mainly in renewable energy sector. But, Power from
renewable energy sector is fluctuating due to its seasonality.
Whereas, hydro power is considered to be most reliable source of
power.
- Even with around 4500MW & 7000MW of capacity addition from
Wind & Solar Power by 2017 & 2022 (As per studies by NIAS) the
peak deficit continues to prevail. Hydro plants are preferable to
operate during peak hours since start up time for hydro plants is very
less.

CHAPTER III
BASIN DEVELOPMENT
3.1 The Course of the river
3.1.1 Cauvery River is one of the important east flowing rivers of

Karnataka. It has its origin near Talakaveri in Kodagu District at an
elevation of 1341m in Brahmagiri Range of hills in the Western
Ghats. The river flows through Kodagu, Mysore and Mandya districts
of Karnataka State and enters Tamilnadu State near Hogenakal and
thereafter flows through the plains of Tamilnadu and joins the Bay of
Bengal. The important tributaries of Cauvery River in Karnataka are
Hemavathy, Harangi, Shimsha and Arkavathi.
3.1.2 The Cauvery lies between East longitudes 750 30’ and 790 45’ and
North latitudes 100 05’ and 130 30’. It is the third largest perennial
river flowing in Southern India. The Cauvery basin is bounded by
Tungabhadra sub-basin of Krishna basin on the Northern side and
Palar basin on the Southern side.The Nilgiris, an offshoot of Western
Ghats, extend Eastwards to the Eastern Ghats and divide the basin
into two natural and political regions i.e, Karnataka plateau in the
North and Tamilnadu plateau in the South.
3.1.3 The total catchment area of the entire Cauvery basin is 81,155
sq.km and the total yield is of the order of 22,375 Mcum. Out of the
total catchment of 81,155 sq.kms, 34,273 sq.kms lies in Karnataka,
43868 sq.kms in Tamilnadu, 2866 sq.kms in Kerala and 148 sq.km
in Pondicherry. The total catchment area of the river up to the
Shivasamudram falls is 21,715 sq.km. The independent catchment
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-43
area up to Shivasamudram falls (Below KRS and Kabini Dams) is

8955 sq.kms.
3.1.4 Basin Description
The River Cauvery originates at Talakaveri in Coorg District of

Karnataka in Brahmagiri Range of hills in the Western ghats at an
elevation of 1341 m. (above MSL) and drains a total area of 81,155
Sq.Kms. of which 34,273 Sq.Kms lies in Karnataka, 43856 Sq.kms.
in Tamilnadu, 2866 Sq.Kms in Kerala and 160 Sq.Kms in Union
Territory of Pondicherry. The Cauvery basin is bounded by
Tungabhadra sub-basin of Krishna basin on the Northern side and
Palar basin on the Southern side. The Western ghats form the
Western boundary. The Nilgiris, an offshore of Western ghats,
extend Eastwards to the Eastern boundary. The Nilgiris, an offshore
of Western ghats, extend Eastwards to the Eastern ghats and divide
the basin into two natural and political regions i.e., Karnataka plateau
in the North and the Tamilnadu plateau in the South. In Tamilnadu,
the Eastern part of the basin in the elevation range of 0 to 150 m
sloping gently up from the sea.
3.1.5 At Shivasamudram, the river branches off into two parts and falls
through a height of 91 m. in a series of falls and rapids. The falls at
this point is utilized for power generation. The power station at
Shivasamudram was built as early as 1902. The two branches of
the river join after the fall and flow through a wide gorge which is
known as “Mekedatu” (Goats leap) and continues its journey to from
the boundary between Karnataka and Tamilnadu States for a
distance of 64 Kms. At Hogennekkal Falls, it takes southernly
direction and enters the Mettur reservoir which was constructed in
1934. A tributary called Bhavani joins Cauvery on the Right bank
about 45 Kms. Below Mettur reservoir. Thereafter it takes Easterly
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-44
course to enter the plains to Tamilnadu. Two more tributaries Noyil

and Amaravathi join the river. The river then widens with sandy bed
and flows as “Akhanda Cauvery”.
3.1.6 Immediately after crossing Tiruchirapalli district, the river divides into
two parts, the Northern branch being called “ The Coleron” and
Southern branch remains as Cauvery and from here the Cauvery
Delta begins. After flowing for about 16 Kms. The two branches join
again to from ‘Srirangam island”. On the Cauvery branch lies the
“Grand Anicut” said to have been constructed by a Chola King in 1st
Century A.D. Below the Grand Anicut, the Cauvery branch splits into
two, Cauvery and Vennar. These branches divide and sub-divide
into small branches and form a network all over the delta.
3.1.7 The total length of the river from the origin to its outfall into the sea is
800 Kms. of which 320 Kms. is in Karnataka, 416 kmt. In Tamilnadu
and 64 Kms. Forms the common border between the Karnataka ana
Tamilnadu states. The Cauvery basin is fan shaped in Karnataka
and leaf shaped in Tamilnadu. The runoff does not drain off quickly
because of its shape and therefore no fast raising floods occur in the
basin. The basin receives rainfall mainly from the S-W Monsoon and
partially from N-E Monsoon in the Karnataka. The basin in
Tamilnadu receives good flows from the North – East Monsoon.
The river system:
3.1.9 The Cauvery river system consists of 21 principal tributaries each

with Catchment Area exceeding 250 Sq.kms. The largest of all of
them of Catchment Area are Shimsha, lying wholly in Karnataka, the
Amaravathi rising in Kerala but lying mostly in Tamilnadu and the
Kabini rising in both Kerala and Tamilnadu but laying mostly in
Karnataka. The Bhavani is the fourth largest and the second longest.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-45
It rises in Kerala and Karnataka but lies mostly in Tamilnadu. The

longest tributary, the Hemavathi (245 Kms.) is the fifth largest in
Catchment area and lies wholly in Karnataka.
3.1.10 From the point of view of flow contribution to the system, apart from
the head reach of the Cauvery main, the most important tributaries
are
i) the Hemavathi,
ii) the Kabini and
iii) the Bhavani
3.2 Power Potential of the river basin and stages of development
3.2.1 The first power plant in India was established in Cauvery basin at
Shivanasamudra during 1902 and is one of the first in Asia. The
installed capacity as of 2015 is 42.0 MW (4 units of 6MW each and 6
units of 3 MW each). The other state owned power house is at Shimsha
with an installed capacity of 17.2 MW (two units of 8.6 MW each).
3.2.2 Apart from the above two state owned power houses, there are number
of small and mini hydro power stations operated by independent power
producers (IPP’s) at irrigation dam toes, canal drops and irrigation
Anicuts. There are about 9 Mini hydro power projects operating in and
around the proposed Shivasamudram project with a total installed
capacity of around 64 MW.
3.2.3 Apart from Shivasamudram, three major power projects have been
proposed on Cauvery basin between Shivasamudram in Karnataka and
Mettur Dam in Tamilnadu. The Shivasamudram & Mekedatu projects lie
entirely in Karnataka state. Rasimanal and Hogenakal projects lie in the
common border of the two states with more submersions in Karnataka.
3.2.4 The location and proposed potentials from all these proposed power
projects is as below.

3.3 Whether trans-basin diversion of waters involved
3.3.1 No trans-basin diversion of water is involved in any of the proposed

power projects in the Cauvery basin.
3.4 Fitment of the scheme in the overall basin development
3.4.1 The proposed Shivasamudram Run of the River Power Project does
not interfere with any of the existing or proposed projects. It is purely
a run of the river project with no storage. This project utilizes only the
flows to be ensured to downstream and also the excess flows, if any.
It will not in any way affect the flows due to downstream.
3.5 Fitment of the scheme in the power potential assessment

studies carried out by CEA
3.5.1 The Shivasamudram scheme had earlier been proposed to be

included in the 12th five year plan with an installed capacity of 270
MW. After detailed studies the power potential is now revised to 200
MW in Phase I and 100 MW in Phase II.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-48
3.6 Effect of future upstream / downstream developments on the

potential of proposed scheme.
3.6.1 There are no major proposed projects on the upstream of the

proposed Shivasamudram scheme. Any other small irrigation /
power project will have no effect on the proposed Shivasamudram
scheme. Also the releases of water to Tamilnadu as per the Tribunal
award have to pass through Shivasamudram which will ensure water
availability to the scheme.
3.6.2 The Mekedatu scheme is proposed on the downstream of

Shivasamudram with a proposed FRL of EL 440 m and a storage
capacity of around 54 TMC. With the implementation of this project
the existing Shimsha power house gets submerged.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-49

CHAPTER IV
INTER-STATE ASPECTS
4.1 State / Countries traversed by the river
4.1.1 Cauvery River is one of the important east flowing rivers of

Karnataka. It has its origin near Talakaveri in Kodagu District at an
elevation of 1341m in Brahmagiri Range of hills in the Western
Ghats. The river flows through Kodagu, Mysore and Mandya districts
of Karnataka State and enters Tamilnadu State near Hogenakal and
thereafter flows through the plains of Tamilnadu and joins the Bay of
Bengal. The important tributaries of Cauvery River in Karnataka are
Hemavathy, Harangi, Kabini, Shimsha and Arkavathi.
4.1.2 The Cauvery lies between East longitudes 750 30’ and 790 45’ and
North latitudes 100 05’ and 130 30’. It is the third largest perennial
river flowing in Southern India. The Cauvery basin is bounded by
Tungabhadra (sub-basin of Krishna basin) on the Northern side and
Palar basin on the Southern side. The Nilgiris, an offshoot of
Western Ghats, extend Eastwards to the Eastern Ghats and divide
the basin into two natural and political regions i.e, Karnataka plateau
in the North and Tamilnadu plateau in the South.
4.2 Distribution of catchment in states and yields from the

catchment of country concerned
4.2.1 The total catchment area of the entire Cauvery basin is 81,155
sq.km. Out of this, 34,273 sq.kms lies in Karnataka, 43868 sq.kms in
Tamilnadu, 2866 sq.kms in Kerala and 148 sq.km in union Territory
of Pondicherry. The total catchment area of the river up to the
Shivasamudram falls is 21,715 sq.km. The independent catchment
area below KRS and Kabini Dams upto SRRP is 8955 sq.kms.
The maximum length of the river from the origin to its outfall into the
Sea is 802 kms. Of which 381 kms. Is in Karnataka, 357 kms. In
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-50
Tamilnadu and 64 km in common boundary. The Cauvery basin is

fan shaped in Karnataka and leaf shaped in Tamilnadu.
4.2.2 The total yield of Cauvery basin assessed by Cauvery Water

Disputes Tribunal (CWDT) is 740 TMC at 50% dependability.
4.3 Inter-state sharing of water

4.3.1 The inter-state river Cauvery and its valley encompass the States of
Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and the Union Territory of
Pondicherry. Due to the topographical features, historically the
irrigation in the Cauvery basin developed in the low lying areas and
delta region at the mouth of the river then lying in the Madras
Presidency. However, with the growth of high-dam technology in the
later part of 19th century, the utilization of water in the upland
regions then lying in Mysore was taken up for consideration. Hence,
conflict or dispute erupted between the old users represented by
Madras and new users represented--by Mysore. These disputes
were attempted to be addressed by the British Paramount by the
imposition of the unjust and one-sided Agreements of 1892 and
1924 on the Princely State of Mysore. This resulted in further
widening of the gap in irrigation development in the two States.
Madras developed further on its advantages and on the other hand
prevented Mysore even the minimum developments bestowed under
the unjust agreements.
4.3.2 Post-Independence:
After independence, the princely State of Mysore merged into Union
of India and then in 1956, a new reorganized State of Mysore now
called Karnataka emerged. The new State, by about early sixties
started planning construction of various irrigation projects viz.,
Hemavathy, Harangi, Kabini in the Cauvery basin, but Tamil Nadu
protested against the said new projects. The Government of India
failed to give clearance to Karnataka Projects due to the objections
of Tamil Nadu. Between 1960 to 1990, both the States of Karnataka
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-51
and Tamil Nadu were engaged in negotiations under the aegis of the
Central Government to resolve the disputes arising from the
construction of new projects-in-Karnataka and for obtaining the
Clearance to the said projects. The State of Kerala also joined the
issue by proposing to construct several irrigation and power projects
in the Kabini, Bhavani and Amaravathy sub-basins of Cauvery
basin. In this background, the farmers of Tamil Nadu approached
the Supreme Court through a writ petition in November 1983 to
resolve the matter. The Supreme Court in its judgment of May 1990
directed the Government of India to constitute a Tribunal under the
provisions of the Inter-State Water Disputes Act, 1956. Accordingly,
the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal (CWDT) was established on
2nd June 1990.
4.3.3 Before the Tribunal, the claim of water by the States of Karnataka,
Kerala, Tamil Nadu Union Territory of Pondicherry are 465 TMC,
99.8 TMC, 573.5 TMC and 9.35 TMC respectively, totaling to about,
1,150 TMC. This demand is very much more than the estimated
yield of the river, which is in the range of 740 to 800 TMC.
4.3.4 Based on the pleadings of the States before it, the Tribunal in
January 1992 framed 50 issues. After the completion of evidence by
all the three States in December2001, the Tribunal classified the 50
issues into three distinct groups(validity and continuance of
agreements, available quantum of water, and equitable allocation) to
enable the States to present their arguments.
. Even before the completion of the Pleadings - on the application of
Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry - the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal
passed an interim order on 25.06.1991, directing Karnataka to
"ensure" 205 tmc at Mettur reservoir in Tamil Nadu on a monthly and
weekly schedule, apart from restraining Karnataka from extending
irrigation beyond the then existing 11.2 lakh acres. Subsequently, on
03.04.1992 and 19.12.1995 Tribunal further clarified its earlier order.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-52
4.3.5 The Interim Order is to "remain operative till the final adjudication of
the dispute referred to the Tribunal".
4.3.6 The Cauvery River Authority (CRA) was constituted in August 1998
with the Hon'ble Prime Minister as the Chairman and with the'
Hon'ble Chief Ministers of the four States as its Members in order to
give effect to the interim-order· of -the -Tribunal-and-its subsequent
orders on the directions of the Supreme Court in OS No 1 of 1992
filed by Tamil Nadu. The Authority has a Monitoring Committee to
assist in its functioning.
4.3.7 Main dispute:
Arguments on all the three Groups of issues relating to the main
dispute commenced before the Tribunal in January 2002 and
completed on 21.04.2006. Thus the Sec 5(2) proceeding before the
Tribunal was spread over 16 years and 8 months.
4.3.8 After the completion of arguments on 21.04.2006, on the basis of
majority orders, Assessors' Reports were made available to the party
States on 10.5.2006. Comments and cross-comments were filed by
the States on the Assessors' Reports.
FINAL ORDERS OF THE TRIBUNAL DATED 05.02.2007

4.3.9 On 5th February 2007, the Hon'ble Tribunal gave its Report with the
final decision under Section 5(2) of ISWD Act 1956. The relevant
clauses of the Report and final decision are:
“ Clause-IV

SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-54
The above quantum of 192 TMC of water comprises of 182 TMC

from the allocated share of Tamil Nadu and 10 TMC of water
allocated for environmental purposes.
The above monthly releases shall be broken in 10 daily intervals by
the Regulatory Authority.
The Authority shall properly monitor the working of monthly schedule
with the help of the concerned States and Central Water
Commission for a period of five years if any modification/adjustment
is needed in the schedule thereafter, it may be worked out in
consultation with the party States and help of Central Water
Commission for future adoption without changing the annual
allocation amongst the parties. ”
“ Clause-XIII:
The States of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu brought to our notice that
a few hydro-power projects in the common reach boundary are being
negotiated with the National Hydro-Power Corporation (NHPC). In
this connection, we have only to observe that whenever any such
hydro-power project is constructed and Cauvery waters are stored in
the reservoir, the pattern of downstream releases should be
consistent with our order so that the irrigation requirements are not
jeopardized.”
“ Clause XVIII :
Nothing in the order of this Tribunal shall impair the right or power or
authority of any state to regulate within its boundaries the use of
water, or to enjoy the benefit of waters within that State in a manner
not inconsistent with the order of this Tribunal.”
“Clause XIX:
In this order,
(a) “Normal year´shall mean a year in which the total yield of the
Cauvery basin is 740 TMC.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-55
(b) Use of the water of the river Cauvery by any person or entity of
any nature whatsoever, within the territories of a State shall be
reckoned as use by that State.
(c) The expression “water year” shall mean the year commencing on
1st June and ending on 31st May.
(d) The “irrigation season” shall mean the season commencing on
1st June and ending 31st January of the next year.
(e) The expression “Cauvery river” includes the main stream of the
Cauvery river, all its tributaries and all other streams contributing
water directly or indirectly to the Cauvery river.
(f) The expression “TMC” means thousand million cubic feet of
water.”
4.4 Existing riparian use

4.4.1 At present there are around 27 existing and ongoing irrigation projects.
The tribunal has considered 18.85 lakh acres while allocating 270 TMC
of water to Karnataka. This has been contested by Karnataka in
Supreme Court. The total gross storage from all the existing and
ongoing projects is of the order of 140 TMC.
4.4.2 As per the Cauvery Tribunal order the quantity of water to be ensured
by Karnataka at the interstate contact point i.e., CWC gauge site at
Beligundlu in a normal year is 192 TMC.
4.5 Pending Interstate Disputes not an impediment:
4.5.1 The water disputes relating to the sharing of the waters of Cauvery were
referred for adjudication to the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal
(Tribunal) constituted by the Central Government vide Notification dated
2nd June 1990 issued under the provisions of Inter-State Water Disputes
Act 1956 (Act of 1956). The Tribunal passed its final report and
decision on 5.2.2007. The party States of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and
Kerala have filed Civil Appeals before the Supreme Court challenging
the said final report and decision. Besides, the party States and Union
of India have also filed application for explanation or guidance before
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-56
the Tribunal under Sec.5(3) of the Act of 1956. These Civil Appeals and
applications are pending consideration. However, no interim orders are
passed in these pending proceedings. Therefore, it emerges that the
interstate water dispute is not fully resolved in view of the pending Civil
Appeals before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. However, without prejudice
to the contention of Karnataka in the Civil Appeals, a flexible project on
the run off the river has been now conceived which can be tailored to
any pattern of flows which the Honb’le Supreme Court may finally
decide. Pending interstate dispute, in these circumstances, is not an
impediment. In this background, as already stated, the Union Ministry
of Power had convened interstate meeting on 8.7.2009 to discuss hydro
power project. During the meeting, as submitted above, the State of
Karnataka highlighted the power potential available at Shivasamudram
and expressed its intention to take up the project. The Secretary of
Power, Government of India supporting the stand of Karnataka said that
the State of Tamil Nadu should not have any objections for such project
provided the State of Karnataka agrees to the joint mechanism for
monitoring the water to Tamil Nadu.

CHAPTER V
SURVEY AND INVESTIGATIONS
5.1 Topographical survey

5.1.1 The location of the diversion weir, intake, the power house area,
alignment of tail race tunnel, location of tailrace weir, surface power
house, location of ODY, sites for dumping yards, labour camp, store
yard etc. were first located on the 1:50000 survey of India Topo
sheet. The selected locations were located on the ground by
reconnaissance. The land details and suitability of the land selected
for various purposes were studied and finalized.
5.1.2 Detailed surveys like block level plan at the proposed weir site,
power house site, intake etc. carried out with Total Station
instrument. The bench mark was carried from the GTS bench mark
established at the site through Survey of India.
5.1.3 Detailed surveys were also carried out for the alignments of pressure
shaft, tailrace tunnel, portal at adit, adit alignment, approach tunnel
to power house, etc.
5.1.4 The levels are also carried to establish the FRL/crest level of the
existing Shiva Anicut on the right limb of the Cauvery river. The FRL
of the proposed weir on the right limb of Cauvery river for diverting
water to the proposed power house is matched with the crest level of
Shiva Anicut so that a common reservoir is formed at
Shivasamudram with the existing Anicut on the left limb and the
proposed weir on the right limb.
5.1.5 Detailed contour survey for FRL and MWL for computing the water
spread area and to estimate the land to be acquired for the project
which are coming under the reservoir area are also carried out. The
land requirement is also marked on the ground.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-58
5.1.6 Approach roads are existing to power house area tailrace exit of
Shivasamudram and portals of adit and approach tunnel to power
house. Surveys have been carried out and the alignments to the
additional roads to be formed have been finalized.
The detailed survey map carried out is enclosed vide drawing No.
SRRP/Civil/05.
5.2 Archeological survey in the reservoir area
5.2.1 The reservoir area is mostly confined to the river course. An earthen
bund is proposed all along the left bank of the right limb of Cauvery
river to protect the irrigated land in the island formed by the river. No
monuments of Archeological importance are found in the reservoir
area. Clearance has been obtained from the Department of
Archeology for the proposed project.
5.3 Mineral surveys in the catchment areas
5.3.1 No minerals commercially viable are found in the vicinity of the

project site
5.4 Right of way surveys for the reservoir
5.4.1 The reservoir formed by the construction of the proposed weir is

confined to the river course. The reservoir is not going to submerge
any approaches or bridges.
5.5 Communication surveys
5.5.1 The project site is approachable by existing roads. Roads of small

stretches are to be formed to reach some of the components like
weir, approach tunnels etc. Detailed surveys have been conducted
for forming the roads.
5.6 Geology and Geo-Technical features
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-59
5.6.1 The area falling in the Cauvery basin mainly comprises of igneous
and Metamorphic rocks of Pre cambrain age, either exposed or
covered by this mantle of residual and transported soils. The main
component rock types are Dharwar Seluists, Granites and granitic
gneissess and charmokites. The Manjrabad area of Hassan district
in Karnataka rests on the border of Western ghats and comprises
some of the most beautiful scenery in the Karnataka State. The hills
forming the western limits of the district extend from the past at the “
bisley Ghat ” to the “ Jenkle Betta’’ and includes peaks like “
Pushpagiri ’’ or “ Subramanya ” close to the South West border rising
to a height of 1715m. Besides Jenkle betta at 1389 m, Devara Betta
rises to a height of 1282 m and Murukanagudda at 1300 m. Also n

5.10 Hydrological and Meteorological investigations
5.10.1 Rainfall:
The basin is under the influence of both the South-West (June to
September) and North-East (October to December) monsoons. The
basin in Karnataka receives rainfall mainly from South-West
monsoon and partially from North-East monsoon. The basin in
Tamilnadu receives rainfall from mainly from North-East monsoon.
There are number of rain gauge stations in the Cauvery basin. The
estimated average annual rainfall in this river basin in Karnataka is
between 600 mm and 800 mm. The rainfall near its origin, ie. In
Kodagu District of Karnataka is of the order of 6000 mm. In
Tamilnadu, the average rainfall is low ranging from 500 mm to 1000
mm. A catchment map showing the Isohyets over the basin is
enclosed in the Annexures volume II of the report.
5.10.2 Climate:
There are four distinct seasons in Cauvery basin. They are i) Cold
Weather, ii) Hot Weather, iii) South-West. monsoon, iv) North-East
monsoon.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-61
In cold season, the Western Ghat is cooler than the rest of the basin
and climate is generally pleasant. In the Hot Weather season, the
Central, Northen and Eastern regions are hotter than the Western
most parts. The South-West monsoon sets by middle of June and
ends by middle of September. During this season the basin receives
major rainfall. The North-East monsoon is from October to
December and is important particularly to Eastern part of Tamilnadu.
5.10.3 Temperature:
The basin has tropical climate. In the upper reaches and the
variation of temperature is very small. The mean temperature in
Kerala portion of the basin is 200 C and in Karnataka it ranges from
200 C to 260 C. The mean temperature in Tamilnadu varies from 260
C to 300 C.
5.10.4 Evaporation:
As per the evaporation data observed by India Meteorological
Department and Government of Karnataka, the mean annual
evaporation is of the order of 150 cm to 260 cm in Karnataka part of
the basin and is about 250 cm in Tamilnadu part of the basin. The
mean daily evaporation varies from 4 mm to 6 mm increasing from
East to West during January. The mean daily evaporation increasing
from N.W. to S.E. being 8 mm to 9 mm in July and 5 mm to 6 mm in
October. The mean annual evaporation depth is about 250 cm.
5.10.5 Water Quality:

Water quality at different locations of Cauvery river is studied by
C.W.C. From the studies it is seen that the river water is generally fit
for drinking purpose without conventional treatment BUT AFTER
DISINFECTION. The water is considered safe for drinking, culinary
and food processing purposes which comes into ‘A’ class category.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-62
The qualifying parameters are generally found within the tolerance

limits for drinking. The water is found alkaline in nature. The total
hardness at all the sampling points represent fitness for washing and
drinking purposes.

(696.16 m)
5) Nugu Irrigation project :
Irrigation project across river Nugu at village Beerwal, Tq.

H.D.Kote, District-Mysore. The catchment area at dam site is 984
Sq.Kms. The design yield at 50% dependability is 10 TMC. The
storage capacity of the dam is 5.44 TMC. The Full Reservior
Level is EL 2380.00 ft. (725.388 m).
6.1.6 The Central Water Commission is conducting Hydrological

observations at 31 stations spread over the entire basin including
Cauvery Delta in Karaikal region and daily discharge data collected
at all these sites are published annually in the form of Water Year
Book/Discharge Data Book.
6.1.7 The Cauvery river has been gauged at Kollegala on the upstream of
the proposed Shivasamudram project and at Beligundlu in the
Karnataka – Tamilnadu border by Central Water Commission. The
daily discharge data at these two stations has been collected from
Central water collection for the period from 1971-72 to 2006-07.
6.1.8 The average annual flows at Kollegal site for the 42 years data
considered (1971-72 to 2012-13) is 6555.70 M cum(231.51 TMC).
The maximum and minimum observed annual flows are 11595.06 M
cum(409.48 TMC) and 2154.73 M cum (71.76 TMC) respectively.
6.1.9 The daily discharges and monthly & annual abstracts of flows at
Kollegal gauge station collected are enclosed as Annexure in volume
II of the report.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-66
6.2 Effect of project development on hydrologic regime

6.2.1 The proposed Shivasamudram project is a run of the river scheme.
The contemplated storage is just 0.73 M cum and there is no
consumptive use of water. Hence implementation of this project will
not alter/affect the hydrologic regime. As already stated in para
3.4.1, this project utilizes only the flows to be ensured to downstream
and also the excess flows, if any. It will not in any way affect the
flows due to downstream.
6.3 Hydrological studies

6.3.1 Since the Kollegala gauge station is just upstream of the proposed
Shivasamudram project, the discharge data at Kollegal station is
used for power potential studies for the project. The independent
catchment area between Kollegal gauge station and the proposed
Shivasamudram weir is only 633 sq.km and this catchment receives
around 700 mm rainfall per annum. The contribution of yield from
this independent catchment is negligible compared to the flow in the
river from the upstream catchment and hence is neglected.
6.3.2 From the daily flow data 10 day average flows are computed and
enclosed as Annexure in volume II of the report.
6.3.3 Design Flood- Estimation of Inflow Design Flood

Selection of Inflow Design Flood:
6.3.3.1 The design flood, also known as Inflow Design flood is the largest
flood that is selected for design or safety of the structure. In simplest
way design flood may be defined as the flood adopted for design
purpose.
6.3.3.2 IS 11223 classifies dams as large, intermediate and small based on

the storage capacity and hydraulic head. Dams having gross storage
less than 10 million cubic meter or hydraulic head less than 12 meter
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-67
is classified as small dams and recommends 100 year Return Period

Flood to be adopted for designs.
6.3.3.4 The maximum height of the weir proposed for Shivasamudram

project is less than 10 m and the storage capacity is less than 5 M
cum. As per the above classification Shivasamudram weir comes
under the small dam category and 100 RPF can be adopted for
designs.
6.3.3.5 The same code also says that Flood of larger or smaller magnitude
may be used if the hazard involved in eventuality of failure is
particularly high or low. The relevant parameters to be considered in
judging the hazard in addition to the size would be:
a. distance to and location of the human habitations on the d/s after
considering the likely future developments and
b. maximum hydraulic capacity of the d/s channel at a level at which
catastrophic damage is not expected.
6.3.3.6 There is no hazard involved in eventuality of failure as there are no

habitation on the immediate downstream of the proposed weir and
the valley is capable of carrying the maximum floods. Hence floods
of lesser magnitude than the 100 year RPF can also be adopted for
design purpose.
6.3.3.7 CWC in their recommendations for Design Flood Estimation

procedures (Current Design Practices and issues Nov-1999)
recommends that dams should be classified in terms of
consequences of failure. As per the recommended classification of
dams, if the losses due to failure is minimal economic losses
typically limited to owners property with Virtually no potential for
future development of other land uses within the foreseeable future
and when the population at risk is less than 2000 is classified as Low
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-68
consequence category and a return period flood of less than or equal

to 100 years is recommended.
6.3.3.8 IS 6966 recommends SPF or 100 year RP flood for designing free
board and 50-year RP flood for items other than free board for
design of weir and barrages and minor dams.
6.3.3.9 From the above recommendations a 50 to 100 year Return Period

flood can be adopted for designs for the proposed Shivasamudram
project. A 100 year return period storm is adopted for estimating the
design inflow flood for the project.
6.3.4 Derivation of Unit Hydrograph:
i) Clark’s approach
6.3.4.1 Clarks approach to unit hydrograph estimation is a scientific
approach for estimating the Design Inflow Flood as it takes into
account the time of concentration and other physical parameters of
the catchments.
T / Tc given by California formula = 1.0

Where T is the time of concentration to be adopted and
Tc is the value of time of concentration given by California formula
R / R + Tc = 0.45
Where R is the attenuation co-efficient and
Tc is the time of concentration
The Unit Hydrograph for the project is derived using the above
Clarks parameters. The detailed computations are appended as
Annexure in volume II of the report.
6.3.5 Determination of design storm :

6.3.5.1 The independent catchment area for the Shivasamudram weir site is
flat and receives annual average rainfall of around 1800 mm. The
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-69
100 year return period one day storm recommended by CWC in their
report “Flood Estimation Report for Cauvery Basin” for the region is
180 mm. The same is adopted for the studies.
6.3.6 Time Distribution of Storm:
6.3.6.1 For the evaluation of the short period break up of 24 hour storm, the
rain fall percentages recommended by CWC for basins in Western
Ghats is adopted.
6.3.7 Estimation of Inflow Design Flood :

6.3.7.1 The short term computed storm is then convoluted with the Unit
Hydrograph ordinates to arrive at the Design Inflow Flood. An
infiltration loss of 1 mm per 30 minutes is applied for the design
condition.
6.3.7.2 The computed peak intensity of flood from the independent

catchment is 7144 cumecs using Clark’s unit hydrograph.
Considering the flood from upstream reservoirs a peak flood of
16990 Cumecs is adopted for the studies
6.3.7.3 The detailed computation of Inflow Flood is appended as Annexure

in volume II of the report.
6.3.8 Design Inflow Flood for the project:

6.3.8.1 There are several irrigation dams on the upstream of
Shivasamudram project on the main Cauvery river and on its
tributaries. The main reservoirs and the number of gates and their
discharging capacities are listed below.
6.3.8.2 In case these gates are opened fully during heavy floods, the
discharge through the gates will reach the Shivasamudram site in
about 24 hours time. Though the intensity of flood reduces to some
extent due to the distance of travel, the routing studies have not
been done to non availability of flood hydrographs across these
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-70
dams. The full discharging capacities from these reservoirs are as

below.
1) Krishnarajasagara Dam : 3,45,868 cusecs
2) Kabini Dam : 1,94,150 cusecs
3) Nugu Dam : 20,000 cusecs
If all the gates of the above reservoirs are opened, the combined
flood, added peak to peak would be 5,60,018 cusecs. The flood from
the independent catchment assessed is 2,52,288 Cusecs. The flood
from the upper reservoirs have to travel for about 36 hours before
reaching the Shivasamudram project area. Also the total flood from
the above reservoirs of 5,60,018 cusecs is the maximum discharging
capacity of the spillway added peak to peak. Considering all these
factors the design flood adopted for the project is 6,00,000 cusecs
(16990 Cumecs) same as the design flood adopted for Shiva anicut.
This is justifiable since a 50 year return flood is sufficient to be
adopted for the weir and in case of flood there will not be any
damage to any property. Also the maximum flood observed at
Kollegal gauge site which is just on the upstream side during the
period from 1972 to 2006 is of the order of 2,13,000 cusecs. A
statement showing the maximum and minimum discharge observed
at Kollegal gauge site is enclosed as Annexure in volume II of the
report.
6.3.9 Flood lift and Maximum water Levels:
6.3.9.1 The maximum inflow flood adopted for the studies is 16990 Cumecs
(6 lakh cusecs). The length of the over flow section of the proposed
Shivasamudram weir is 415 m. The overflow length available at the
existing Shiva anicut is 682.45 m. The flood lift over the crest level
works out to 4.0m.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-71
6.3.10 Fixing of top of weir and earthen bund:
6.3.10.1 The maximum length of water spread for the Shivasamudram

reservoir is 2.6 km. As per IS 6512 a wind speed of 118.8 Km/hour is
assumed for computing the fetch. The wave height works out to 1.0
m. A free board of 1.0 m above MWL is adopted for the concrete
weir and the top of weir is fixed at EL 620.5 m. A free board of 1.0 m
above MWL is adopted for the earthen bund and the top of the
earthen bund is fixed at EL 620.5 m. A parapet of height 1.15 m is
also proposed along the earthen bund.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-72

CHAPTER VII
RESERVOIR
7.1 Catchment area, annual runoff, submergence etc.
7.1.1 The River Cauvery originates at Talakaveri in Coorg District of

Karnataka in Brahmagiri Range of hills in the Western ghats at an
elevation of 1341 m. (above MSL) and drains a total area of 81,155
Sq.Kms. of which 34,273 Sq.Kms lies in Karnataka, 43868 Sq.kms.
in tamilnadu, 2866 Sq.Kms in Kerala and 148 Sq.Kms in Union
Territory of Pondicherry.
7.1.2 The total catchment area of the basin up to Shivasamudram project

site is 21715 Sq.km. On the upstream of Shivasamudram is the KRS
dam, Kabini dam and Harangi are main dams built for irrigation
purpose. The independent catchment below these dams up to
Shivasamudram is 7010 Sq.km.
7.1.3 The Cauvery river is gauged by CWC at Kollegal gauge station at a

distance of 5 km on the upstream of the proposed project site. The
daily flow data has been collected from CWC for a period of 38 years
from 1971-72 to 2006-07. The daily data and the annual abstract are
enclosed as Annexure in volume II of the report. The average and
90% dependable annual discharge are 6691.20 M cum and 3835.89
M cum respectively.
7.2 Sedimentation data and studies:

The independent catchment area of Shivasamudram is 7010 sq.km.
There are large reservoirs on the upstream which checks the
sediment load to Shivasamudram reservoir. The Shiva Anicut on the
left limb of Cauvery river which is built during the year 1900 with
meager storage is not silted up.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-73
The silt data is being observed at Kollegal gauge site by CWC on the
upstream of Shivasamudram is collected and studied for the years
from 1993-94 to 2007-08. The abstract of monthly & annual silt load
observed is enclosed as Annexure in volume II of the report. The
average sediment load is only 29.84 Tonne / annum.
The average river bed level at the proposed weir site is EL 607 m.
The MDDL is fixed at EL 610.0m. The dead storage is 0.073 M cum.
Two river sluices of size 2m x 2.3m one on the left bank and another
on the right bank are provided to flush out the silt during heavy flows.
7.3 Fixation of storage and reservoir levels

7.3.1 At the proposed weir site there is no possibility of creating large
storage as the terrain is plain and any provision of storage
submerges large area of land. The FRL of the proposed
Shivasamudram weir is fixed at EL 615.40 m to match with the FRL
of existing Shiva anicut on the left limb of Cauvery river to form a
common reservoir. The MDDL is fixed at EL 610.0 m. The
submergence is confined to the river bank and the gross and live
storage for the proposed FRL are 2.766 M cum and 2.693 M cum
respectively. The live storage is just sufficient for full generation for
three hours. The top of the concrete weir is proposed at EL 620.5 m
and the top of the earthen bund is proposed at EL 620.5 m with a
solid parapet of 1.15 m on the reservoir side.
7.4 Life of Reservoir:

7.4.1 The capacity of the proposed reservoir is a very small. The weir is un
gated and the silt load is also less. Provision is made for silt flushing
during heavy flows through two river sluices. Also during floods the
water surpluses over the weir. The Shiva Anicut on the left limb of
the river is not silted and serving since the year 1900. Hence the
proposed weir will serve its purpose.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-74
7.5 Capacities at MWL, FRL, MDDL, Dead storage level etc.

7.5.1 The capacity of the reservoir at MWL, FRL and MDDL are 4.73M
cum, 2.766 M cum and 0.073 M cum respectively. The dead storage
level is at EL 610 m. As no silting of reservoir is anticipated the
capacities is not expected to change over the years.
7.6 Water tightness of the reservoir:

7.6.1 The Geological formation prevailing in the pickup weir site consists
of granite gneiss rock which is generally hard and fresh but jointed.
The joints are fairly tight and relatively impermeable. Hence, water
seepage through the joints is expected to be negligible.
7.7 Annual losses:

7.7.1 The water spread area of the reservoir at FRL is just 0.92 Sq.km.
The annual evaporation rate for the region is around 1.5 m. The
annual evaporation loss is around 4.5 M cum which is insignificant
compared to the inflow and utilizations. Also since the scheme is a
run of the river project, the evaporation loss during monsoon is much
less than 4.5 M cum. Hence evaporation losses are neglected in the
studies.
7.8 Flood absorption:

7.8.1 The reservoir capacity is very small for any flood absorption or
regulation. No gates are proposed for the weir. Flood gets
discharged to the downstream over the ogee profile of the weir.
7.9 Effect of sub soil water tables in the adjoining areas upstream
and downstream of the dam:
7.9.1 The reservoir formed by the proposed weir will be mainly confined to
the river course. On the downstream of the river the river bed is
sloping and at a distance of around 1 km there is a water fall. The
right bank of the reservoir is at a higher elevation and the terrain is
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-75
barren. Any agricultural activity is above the FRL of Shivasamudram

reservoir. The area on the left bank of the reservoir is at a lower level
than the FRL and the lands are under cultivation. There is an
earthen bund all along the left bank of the river protecting these
lands from submersion during floods. In order to safeguard
submersion of these lands due to the construction of the weir, a
retaining wall all along the left bank and an earthen bund is also
proposed.
7.10 Seismic Characteristics and effect due to construction of dam

7.10.1 The project now comes under Chamarajanagara district of
Karnataka State. As per the Seismo-tectonic map of India IS 1893-
2002, the Shivasamudram project is placed in Zone-II of the zoning
gradation. The area is stable as far as seismic activities are
concerned. As the storage is confined to the river banks and the
quantity of storage is very small, there is negligible effect on seismic
characteristics.
7.11 Reservoir rim stability

7.11.1 As the proposed reservoir is confined to the river bank, detailed
studies for reservoir rim stability are not warranted.
7.12 Area of submergence:

7.12.1 The total area of submergence is due to the construction of the weir
is 90 Ha consisting of 65 Ha of river course and 15 Ha of forest and
private land.
7.13 Land acquisition:

7.13.1 The total land required for the project is 165 Ha. The area required
for the project components, roads, buildings, quarry area, soil borrow
area, dump yards, labor camp, site office, store and fabrication yard
etc. have been identified and marked on topo sheets and on field.
Out of the 165 Ha required for the project, 90 Ha of land comes in
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-76
forest and the balance is in river course. The land will be acquired
and compensated as per the forest act and R & R rules.
7.14 Recreation facilities:

7.14.1 The reservoir created by the proposed construction of the weir will
be confined to the river course. Only recreational facility like boating
can be facilitated. The famous Indian game fish ‘Masheer’ can be
bred in the reservoir for fishing game.
7.15 Pisci-Culture:
7.15.1 The Cauvery river water is alkaline in character and free from
pollution but poor in nutrient status. The famous game fish of India –
Masheer –Tor Khudree are well represented in this part of the river
stretch. The reservoir formed by the proposed construction of the
weir offers a good breeding centre for the Masheer fish.
7.16 Other facilities if any:

7.16.1 There is no proposal for creating any other facilities near the project
site.
7.17 Need and recommendations for soil conservation measures in

the catchment:
7.17.1 Shivasamudram Run of the Power Scheme is a run of the river

scheme. Based on the topographic factors, soil type, climate,
landuse/vegetation cover in the catchment area various measures
boyh Engineering and Biological are proposed to be undertaken with
the aim to check soil erosion which in turn check siltation of the
reservoir. The Engineering measures will comprise construction of
number of check dams for gully control stabilization of flood prone
nallahs, landslides, river bank roads etc. The catchment area
treatment plan (CAT) pertains to preparation of a management plan
for treatment of erosion prone area of the catchments through
Biological and Engineering measures. A well designed CAT plan will
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-77
be prepared as a part of EIA & EMP studies which will control the
sedimentation of the reservoir and also provide a life supporting
system to the local population through their active involvement.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-78
CHAPTER VIII
POWER POTENTIAL AND INSTALLED CAPACITY
8.1 Type of power plant

8.1.1 The proposed Shivasamudram power project is a run of the river
scheme across Cauvery river. The water required for power
generation is proposed to be diverted to the power house by
constructing a weir across the right limb of Cauvery river near
Shivasamudram. The height of the over flow section from the
average river bed level is 8.4 m. The average river bed level is EL
607 m. The FRL is proposed at EL 615.4 m and the MDDL at EL 610
m. The gross storage and live storage are 1.92 M cum and 0.73 M
cum respectively. The elevation – area and elevation – capacity
curves are enclosed as Annexure vide volume II. The Live storage is
sufficient to generate 300 MW (ultimate capacity) for about one hour.
8.2 Assessment of power potential

8.2.1 Existing projects near the proposed Shivasamudram scheme
The following are the existing projects coming under the vicinity of
SRRP:
1) Shiva anicut.
2) Shiva Power House.
3) Shimsha Power House.
4) Bangalore Water Supply Scheme.
8.2.2 Shiva Anicut:

Cauvery river bifurcate it to two limbs near Shivasamudram. On the
left limb is Gaganachukki falls and on the right limb is Barachukki
falls. A barrage called Shiva Anicut across the left limb is constructed
for drawing water to Bangalore Water supply, shiva and Shimsha
Power Houses. The details of the anicut are as follows:
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-79
A) Bed level of the river at anicut : 604.964 m.

B) Top level of the anicut : 615.400 m.
C) Length of the anicut : 682.450 m
D) Maximum Flood in the river as provided for : 16990 Cumecs
(6.00 lakh cusecs)
E) Maximum Depth of discharge over Anicut : 4.11 m.
F) Storage Capacity : 4.96 Lakh Cum
(0.018 TMC)
Water is drawn directly from Shiva anicut through a channel to Shiva

balancing reservoir and the discharge quantity is 73.60 cumecs.
From the balancing reservoir a portion of water (45.30 Cumecs) will
flow to Shiva power house and remaining water (25.30Cumecs) will
go to Bangalore water supply and Shimsha power house. At present
the quantum of water drawn for Bangalore water supply is 12.74
cumecs throughout the year.
8.2.3 Shiva Power House:

The total installed capacity of the generating station is 42 MW and
the details are as follows:
a) No of machines : 10 Nos.
b) Capacity : 42 MW
(4 units of 6.00MW and 6
units of 3.00 MW).
c) Water usage : 41.57 Cumecs.
d) Annual energy generation(Rated) : 368 MU.
8.2.4 Shimsha Power House:

The water from the Shiva balancing reservoir flows to another small
reservoir called Nettakallappa reservoir. Water is drawn to Bangalore
water supply from this reservoir. The water for the Shimsha
generating station is also drawn from Netkal balancing reservoir. The
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-80
total installed capacity of the generating station is 17.20 MW and the

details are as follows:
a) No of machines : 2 Nos.
b) Capacity : 2 units of 8.6 MW
c ) Water usage : 12.17 Cumecs.
d) Annual energy generation (Rated) : 150 MU.
8.2.5 Bangalore Water Supply Scheme:

The water for the Bangalore water supply is drawn from Netkal
Balancing Reservoir. The quantity of water drawn is 12.74 Cumecs
(450 cusecs). This water is drawn continuously throughout the year.
In order to meet the growing demand of Bangalore, work for drawing
additional water from Cauvery river near Shivasamudram is under
progress. The requirement of water for Bangalore is estimated at 20
Cumecs.
8.2.6 Power potential studies:

A weir is proposed across the right limb with its FRL coinciding with
the FRL of the existing weir on the left bank thus forming a common
reservoir. The water is proposed to be drawn from this weir for power
generation. The water passes through the pressure shaft to the
underground power house. The water after power generation at the
underground power house joins the Cauvery river through an trail
race tunnel. The layout of the scheme is presented vide drawing No.
SRRP/Civil/05 & 06.
8.2.6.1 From the flows available at the site in Cauvery river at

Shivasamudram, first priority is given for Bangalore water supply at
the rate of 20 cumecs. The requirement of water for the existing
Shiva and Shimsha power houses is of the order of 53.74 cumecs
for a maximum generation of 59.2 MW. The generating units at the
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-81
above power houses are old and the head under which the units are
operated is also less compared to the head available at the
proposed Shivasamudram scheme. Hence it is proposed to give next
priority for allocation of water to the proposed Shivasamudram
scheme. With this allocation it is possible to generate more power for
the same quantity of water. In order to compute the actual
generation from all the existing and proposed power houses, power
potential studies are done for two cases
1. Total Energy generation from all the power houses by giving
priority in water allocation to the existing Shimsha and Shiva
power houses and
2. Total Energy generation from all the power houses when priority
is given to allocation of water to the proposed Shivasamudram
scheme over the existing power houses.
8.2.6.2 The difference in the energy generation from the above two cases
will indicate the quantity of energy benefit from the proposed priority
in water allocation. The actual energy benefit from the scheme is
computed by deducting the energy loss at the existing power houses
from the energy generation at Shivasamudram with priority in water
allocation to Shivasamudram scheme.
8.2.6.3 The daily discharge data at Kollegal gauge site collected from CWC
gauging site for 42 years from 1971-72 to 2012-13 is used for power
potential studies. Studies are first done for unrestricted installed
capacity for all the years and with 100% machine availability. The
annual energy is then arranged in descending order and
dependability is worked out. The 90% dependable year is then
worked out. The 90% dependable energy corresponds to the year
2002-03. The details are enclosed as Annexure in volume II of the
report.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-82
8.2.6.4 An installed capacity of 200 MW with an annual average (42 years)

energy potential of 930.59 MU with a load factor of 53.11 % is
selected and adopted for the main underground power house of the
project. In order to utilize the lean flows during non monsoon months
it is proposed to adopt 2 units of 100 MW each for the UGPH.
8.2.7 Design Energy:

8.2.7.1 Power potential studies for the selected capacity of 2 x 100 MW for
UGPH and the corresponding potential at the existing Shimsha and
Shiva power houses have been prepared for all the 42 years for
which the daily data is available. The studies have been done for two
cases viz. i) with priority of water allocation to the existing projects
and ii) with priority in water allocation to the proposed
Shivasamudram scheme. The details are enclosed as Annexure in
volume II of the report.
8.2.7.2 An abstract of annual energy potential at all the existing and

proposed power houses and the actual energy benefit from the
proposed scheme for the years from 1971-72 to 2012-13 is prepared
and enclosed as Annexures. The average (42 years) annual energy
potential from the proposed scheme is 930.59 MU with an annual
average load factor of 53.12 %.
8.2.7.3 The power potential studies are done for the proposed installed
capacities of 2 x 100 MW for the 90% dependable year (year 2002-
03) considering machine availability of 95%. The annual energy
benefit from the proposed scheme works out to 815.09 MU and is
considered as the design energy for calculating the tariff. The details
are enclosed as Annexure in volume II of the report.
8.3 Studies for optimization of storage:

8.3.1 The live storage available in the proposed Shivasamudram reservoir
is only 0.73 M cum which is sufficient for a full generation of 300 MW
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-83
(ultimate capacity) for only one hour. The storage is just sufficient for
moderation of flows for drawing water to the power house. The
question of optimization of storage in the reservoir does not arise.
8.4 Month-wise, 10 daily availability of power and energy & peaking

capabilities:
8.4.1 The 10 daily power and energy potential is also prepared and
presented for all the 42 years from 1971-72 to 2012-13 for which
flow data is available. The abstract is enclosed as Annexure. As the
available storage is very less, no peaking facility is available.
8.5 Optimization of installed capacity and unit size studies carried

out:
8.5.1 The power potential studies are worked out for the 90% dependable
year with installed capacity at the main power house (UGPH) varying
from 120 MW to 450 MW in increments of 30 MW to decide the
optimum installed capacity for the project.
8.5.2 The following aspects are considered in the power studies:

 The daily flows at Kollegal gauge site is considered for the
studies
 The evaporation losses are neglected as the water spread area is
very meager.
 The weighted reservoir level between FRL (EL 614.5 m) and
MDDL (EL 610.0 m) is taken as the operating level of the
reservoir.
 The tail water level for the main underground power house is
taken as EL 440 m
 A total head loss of 2.45 m from all the components up to the
underground power house is considered constant for all
discharges.
 The combined Turbine-Generator efficiency is taken as 91%.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-84
 The machine availability factor is considered at 100%.
8.5.3 The results of the studies with various installed capacities are as
listed below.
Installed Capacity Annual energy for the Load Factor (%)
(UGPH) 90% dependable year
120.0 MW 583.92 55.54

150.0 MW 693.68 52.79
180.0 MW 786.03 49.84
210.0 MW 865.37 47.04
240.0 MW 923.84 43.94
270.0 MW 94.84 41.08

450.0 MW 1130.29 28.67
Phase I
200.0 MW 841.73 48.04
8.5.4 Though the total energy for the 90% dependable year for an installed
capacity of 2 x 100 = 200 MW is 841.73 MU, if the loss in generation
at the existing Shiva power house of 143.99 MU is considered then
the actual energy benefit from the proposed Shivasamudram
scheme works out to 697.73 MU with a load factor of 39.83 %. From
the above studies carried out an installed capacity of 200 MW for the
main underground power house is selected.
8.5.5 In order to utilize the lower discharges in the river, it is proposed to

have 2 units of 100 MW for the underground power house.

CHAPTER IX
DESIGN OF CIVIL STRUCTURES
9.1 Structures and layout:
9.1.1 Shivasamudram run of the river power project is proposed across

right limb of the Cauvery river at the upstream of Bharachukki falls.
The scheme envisages the construction of pick up weir, approach
channel, intake structure, pressure shaft and UGPH. Tail race water
will be let in to the Cauvery river through tail race tunnel. The
proposed scheme is explained in the report. The layout plan is
enclosed vide Drawing No. SRRP/Civil/05 & 06.
9.2 General
9.2.1 i) Head works – site and vicinity

It is proposed to construct a weir with a maximum height of 15m
across right limb of Cauvery river on the upstream of Bharachukki
falls. It is also proposed to strengthen the existing Earthen bund on
the left bank of the river from weir up to Tippu bridge. This proposed
earthen bund will provide access road to left bank of the weir site.
The bund will also protect the Existing Island from submersion thus
reducing the area of submersion of cultivated lands. The intake
channel is situated on the right bank of the river at distance of 150m
upstream of the proposed weir site. It is proposed to construct new
roads leading to intake structure and weir on the right bank.
The water from intake channel is led into water conductor system
through intake structure. The intake structure is provided with trash
rack and provisions are made for stop log gate & emergency gate.
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-86
9.2.2 ii) Reason for the choice of the layout

The topography of the area is such that the weir selected for
diversion is an ideal location to draw water for power generation. The
main advantages of the weir location are
a) The reservoir and the flood water level will be confined to the river
course and the area of submergence is limited.
b) On the bed of the proposed weir alignment massive granite
gneiss are found exposed.
c) The weir site is accessible from both the banks.
d) Just 150 m on the upstream of the proposed weir site, there is a
valley ideal for locating the intake.
e) The hillock just after the intake is an ideal for locating the
underground power house
f) The distance to the tailrace exit will be shortest from the proposed
power house location.
9.2.3 iii) Type of structure - Weir
The proposed weir is an 8 m high concrete un-gated Ogee spillway

with flip bucket with provision for energy dissipation. The height of
the non over flow section is 15 m. Two numbers of sluices are
provided for flushing out the silt deposit. On the right bank the non
over flow portion of weir is abutted to the soil mound and on the left
bank the non over flow section of the weir is provided with two
numbers of limbs for stability purpose as no suitable place is
available for abutting the structure. The ends portion of are backfilled
with all-round protection with pitching. The details are shown in
drawing no. SRRP / Civil / 10 to 14.
9.2.4 iv) Layout of structures

9.2.4.1 a. Intake structure:
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-87
Intake channel is provided on the right bank of the river at distance

of 150 meter upstream of the weir. The CC Intake structure is
proposed. It consists of Trash rack arrangements with one stop log
gate which is operable from gantry and one emergency gate which is
operable from hydraulic hoist. The details are shown vide drawing
No. SRRP/Civil/15 & 16.
9.2.4.2 b. Pressure shaft and penstock

The water conductor system consists of one pressure shaft of size
6.90m diameter with steel liner and bifurcates into Three Penstocks
of size 3.05m dia. with CC Lining and permanent supports.
Necessary provisions for Permanent supporting, spacing of Anchor
rods, consolidation grouting, contact grouting and shotcreating
wherever required for different class of rock classifications are made.
As the length from Intake to UGPH is very short, head race tunnel &
surge shaft are not provided. The details are shown vide drawing No.
SRRP/Civil/ 17 to 19.
9.2.4.3 c. Power House

It is proposed to construct an underground power house(UGPH) at a
depth of 160m from the surface. The UGPH is at a distance of 205 m
east of intake structure. In the UGPH complex the following
provisions are made:
 Machine hall & repair bay in PH cavern – The machine hall

accommodates two generating units each of 100 MW capacity.
The power house cavern is 68m long, 21m wide and 44.73m
high with the deepest foundation at EL 420.00 M and crown of
the power house being at EL 464.73m. The generator floor level
is EL 444.73m and the crane beam level is EL 456.73m.
Provision for ventilation to PH cavern is made by means of a 2m
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-88
dia ventilation tunnel. Provision is also made to seat one

additional generating unit of 100 MW capacity.
 Transformer Cavern – The transformer cavern is 78m long, 17m

wide and 15m high, the floor level is EL 444.73m and the crown
level is 459.73m. The transformer caver in connected to the
UGPH cavern by three no’s of bus duct tunnel of size 4.5m x
4.5m, one ‘D’ shaped tunnel of size 9m x 7m and one
emergency tunnel of size 5m x 3m.
The outdoor yard is located on the surface. The HT cable

connecting the transformers to ODY run through an inclined
cable tunnel of size 5m x 5m.
 Tail race collection cavern – The tail race collection chamber is

68m long, 14m wide and 22.33m high with the deepest
foundation at EL 435.5m and the crown being at EL 457.83m.
The water is discharged through D shaped concrete lined tunnel
of size 9m x 9m and length 4500 m.
 Separate niches for Workshop, Air conditioning, HVWS, DG set,

Toilet and security rooms have been proposed.
 All the details are shown vide drawing No. SRRP/Civil/20 to 22.
9.3 Geology, Seismicity and foundations

9.4 Alternative studies
9.4.1 1) Weir:
The Cauvery river from the downstream of Kollegal bridge bifurcates
into two limbs, falls down the Gorge from both the limbs at
Gaganachukki and Bharachukki falls, and after the falls joins to form
a single stream. The Cauvery river which was flowing in north
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-89
direction before the falls turns towards right and starts flowing in east
direction. Hence the diversion structure has been on the right limb of
the river. The stretch of the river from Kollegal bridge to the
Bharachukki falls on the right limb is only 5 Km.
9.4.2 A suitable site has been selected for the weir at a distance of 1 km
on the upstream of the falls. The FRL of the weir is fixed at EL 615.4
m so as to match with the FRL of the existing Shiva Anicut on the left
limb of Cauvery river. The MWL for the 100year return period flood is
EL 619.4 m. The left bank bund level is EL 614 m. Initially the weir
was extended beyond the left bank for a distance of 300 m. On the
left bank of the right limb is fertile agricultural land which would
submerge with this proposal. In order to safeguard this agricultural
land, a retaining wall and an earthen bund is proposed all along the
left bank with its top at an elevation of one meter above the MWL is
now proposed. With this proposal the length of the weir got reduced
by 300 m and submersion of agricultural land is avoided.
9.4.3 ii) Intake and head works:

At around 150 m on the upstream of the proposed weir where is a
small valley on the right bank of the river which is an ideal location
for the intake and other head works. No alternatives are available for
studies for intake and head works.
9.4.4 iii) Power House

The ground level after the intake and head works is around EL 600
m. The tail race exit is at a distance of around 4.5 km from the head
works. The elevation at the tail race exit is EL 405 m. Hence an
underground power house immediately next to the head works is
most appropriate. One single power house was first proposed for
utilizing the entire head between the weir FRL of EL 614.5 m and tail
water level of EL 405 m. The proposal was then changed as there is
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-90
a downstream project proposed across Cauvery namely Mekedatu

project comprising of a reservoir with FRL at EL 440 m. If the
downstream project is implemented, the proposed power house will
get submerged. In order to safeguard the power house from
submersion, the underground power house is raised so that the
tailrace level is at EL 440m.
9.4.5 iv) Tailrace Tunnel

The first proposal for tailrace tunnel was along a straight line from
power house to the tailrace exit.
9.4.5.1 With the revised proposal of the underground power house, the
alignment of the tailrace tunnel was revised so that the tail race exit
level is El 440 m in a valley between the power house location and
tail race exit. This alternative was found to be expensive.
9.4.5.2 Finally the original tailrace tunnel alignment was slightly modified so
that it opens in the existing valley near the tailrace exit. This proposal
is cheaper and found to be the most suitable alternative for utilizing
the full available potential at Shivasamudram.
9.4.6 The alternative studies made is depicted in the Drawing enclosed

vide Drawing No. SRRP/Civil/08.
9.5 The final layout

9.5.1 After detailed studies of all the alternatives possible, the present
layout with an underground power house is finalized. The finalized
layout is enclosed vide Drawing No. SRRP/Civil/06 & 07.
9.6 Design flood and sedimentation studies

9.6.1 The detailed design flood studies are discussed in Chapter VI. The
inflow design flood considered for the designs and other protective
SRRP ‐ DPR, Pg-91
measures is 16990 cumecs. The sediment data observed at Kollegal

gauge site is enclosed as Annexure in volume II of the report.
9.7 Free Board

9.7.1 Detailed free board computations for both the proposed weir and the
earthen bund proposed along the left bank of the river is enclosed as
Annexure in volume II of the report. The computations are as per IS
6512 The free board provided is 1.10 m for both concrete and
earthen bund portion.
9.8 River Diversion arrangement – Choice of Design floods

9.8.1 The Cauvery river bifurcates into two limbs on the downstream of
Kollegal bridge. The requirement of water to Bangalore water supply
and for the existing Shiva and Shimsha power houses are drawn
from the left limb of Cauvery river. The proposed Shivasamudram
weir is on the right limb of the Cauvery river. During non monsoon
season the lean flows are being diverted to left limb by a small wall
constructed across the river at the point where the river splits. From
December onwards till monsoon there will not be any flow in the right
limb. The construction of the proposed weir will be taken up during
this period and water will be diverted through the right limb.

9.12.1 SHAFT:
The water conductor system for the main powerhouse is at a
distance of 150m upstream of the weir on the right-bank of the river.
In order to have sufficient rock cover for the Pressure shaft it is
proposed to have an approach channel and then the tunnel starts.
The length of approach channel is 120m. The intake structure is
located at this point.
9.12.2 The ground level at the site is EL 612m and the sill level of the intake

TRANSMISSION OF POWER AND COMMUNICATION
FACILITIES
11.1 Transmission of power
i) Since, KPCL and KPTCL are state owned companies, no

agreement is executed between them for evacuation of power as
KPCL is a generating company and KPTCL is a transmission and
distribution company. It is imperative that whatever power KPCL
generates is evacuated by KPTCL.
ii) The following evacuation scheme is proposed for the two power
houses as proposed by KPTCL.
iii) Construction of a 220 kV double circuit line with twin ACSR Moose
conductor between proposed switchyard at Shivasamudram and
220/66 kV switchyard at Torekadana Halli substation for a distance
of 30 Kms.
a) Conversion of 220 kV Single circuit line from TK Halli-

Kanakapura – Somanahalli ( Bangalore) to 220 kV DC line.
iv) The proposed power house is about 125 Kms from Bangalore and
70 kms from Kanakapura in Bangalore district. Although there are
no industrial hubs near and around the power houses it is proposed
to transmit the generated power to Bangalore. The following 220
kV stations are already existing around the proposed power
houses.
a) Torekadana Halli 220 /66 kV substation – 30- Kms.
b) Somanahalli 400/220 kV substation – 70 Kms.
c) Vajamangala 220 kV station – 70 Kms.
In order to augment the evacuation scheme, the state owned KPTCL

has proposed the following evacuation scheme for the proposed
power houses.
a) Construction of 220 kV double circuit line with twin ACSR Moose

conductor between proposed switchyard at Shivasamudram and
220/66 kV switchyard at Torekadana Halli substation for a
distance of 30 Kms.
b) To augment the evacuation scheme, the existing 220 kV Single

circuit line from TK Halli- Kanakapura – Somanahalli ( Bangalore)
is being converted to DC circuit.
a) Co-ordination will be made between the transmission company

(KPTCL) and the generating company ( KPCL) to match the
commissioning schedule of the evacuation scheme with the
commissioning of generating units at Shivasamudram power houses.
b) As both KPCL and KPTCL are state owned companies there is

no such agreement between the companies covering the risk in
case of default /delay in commissioning by either of the parties. It
shall be noted that the best efforts will be made between the
companies to complete the project in time and the power
evacuation scheme will be ready by the time the generating units
are ready at KPCL end.
11.2 Telecommunication aspects:
Power line carrier communication equipment will be provided for the

transmission lines to have efficient, secure, reliable information link
for carrier aided distance protection, direct tripping, and also to have
speech communication between the 220 kV sub stations. They will
have separate carrier terminals of mutli-purpose type speech and

protection purposes. Frequency planning will be done as per CIGRE
guidelines and IEC-663 .

CHAPTER XVII
ALLOCATION OF COST
17.0 Allocation of cost for each component
17.1.1 The proposed Shivasamudram run of the river power project is
purely a power project with no storage or consumptive use. There is no
storage proposed and hence there is no provision for flood moderation.
At present a few hundred hectares of land situated in the island formed
by the two limbs of Cauvery river is utilizing the Cauvery water for
irrigation. Provision will be made to facilitate drawing of water from the
reservoir formed for irrigation of these lands. The entire cost of the
project is for power project.
17.1.2 Though Cauvery river is an inter-state river, the entire project
area lies in Karnataka state and the entire benefits of power generation
are for the Karnataka State only. Hence no allocation of cost is made for
different states.

CHAPTER XVIII
ECONOMIC EVALUATION
18.1 Phasing of expenditure
18.1.1 The work sites in and around the project area receives scanty rainfall.
The number of working days in a year is taken as 300. Time required
for Preliminaries such as tender process, river diversion and
approaches is taken as 18 months.
18.1.2 The major activity which requires more time is approach tunnel to
underground power house and excavation power house and
transformer caverns. It is proposed to take up this work immediately
after the tender process is over. Other works are suitably staggered so
that the all the works are completed simultaneously. The project
requires 54 months for completion from zero date.
18.2 Interest during construction

18.2.1 The project is estimated to cost Rs. 76,184 lakhs which includes Rs.
45,923 lakhs towards civil works and Rs. 30,261 lakhs towards
electro-mechanical works. The period of construction has been
estimated as 48 months from the zero date and the phasing of
expenditure over the construction period has been prepared and
enclosed in in the report (Phasing of Expenditure). The financial
studies have been carried out to calculate the interest during
construction (IDC). The IDC works out to 13,181 lakhs. Thus the total
cost of the project including IDC works out to Rs. 89,365 lakhs.
18.2.2 The tariff of Shivasamudram Run of the River Project has been
worked out is based on the following:
 Only rupee term loan for debt components. No foreign exchange is
involved
 Income Tax and tax on dividend is not applicable as per present
notification for the first 10 years
 Depreciation has been charged at 5.28% of the loan amount for
loan period and then 1.43% per annum thereafter.
 O&M charges at 2.00% of capital. The cost towards O&M and

insurance charges which will be escalated at the rate of 5.72% per
annum.
 The return on equity has been considered at 15.50% Per annum as
per prevailing practice of GOI.
18.3 Cost of generation at power house bus bar

18.3.1 The annual energy generation for the 90% dependable year with 95%
machine availability has been worked out as 815.09 MU. The
levellized tariff of generation at the power house bus bar works out as
Rs. 2.58 /Kwh.
18.4 Sale rate of energy
