Narmada Basin
Preface
Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and
growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that
development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in
order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally sound
basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by intensifying
research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information system. In this
reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008 between the
Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and Implementation of Web
enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named as India-WRIS WebGIS.
India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india-
wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information in
a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand and
analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning,
development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).
Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows the
holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for
management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has
developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by
human interventions. The multiple uses of water and varying demands on a river basin require an
integrated approach to managing river basin.
Basin wise report generation is one the important deliverables of India-WRIS project. Report of
Narmada Basin describes systematically the present status of water resources: major water resources
projects, hydro-meteorological observations, surface and ground water development scenario,
topographic characteristics, climatic variability, land use / land cover pattern & allied natural resources
along with socio-economic profile of the basin. The report contains valuable latest information of the
basin on all aspects of water resources and allied sectors and will be useful as baseline information for
the irrigation officials, hydrologists, agriculturalists, conservationists, research organizations and all
those involved in the development of Narmada Basin.

Narmada Basin
Executive summary
Narmada basin possess varying topography, the upper most part of the terrain being hilly which gives
rise to the largest west flowing river Narmada at Amarkantak . As the river progress the middle part,
the terrain becomes fertile plain. The lower most part of the basin is the Coastal region where the river
joins the Arabian Sea.
The basin is divided into 3 sub-basins. The Narmada Upper, middle and lower sub-basin with a total of
150 watersheds. 19 important tributaries along with the main river Narmada, drains an area of
92,672.42 Sq.km which is 3% of total geographical area of the country.
Agriculture is the dominant landuse category (56.90 %) in the basin. Also, a large part is covered by
forest accounting to 32.88 % of the total area of the basin. Black soils are predominant in the basin. The
majority of the soil is characterised by shallow black soils in the upper basin. In the lower part of the
basin, the major soils of the valley and southern plateau are medium deep black soils. On the other
hand mixed red and black soils occur in the northern plateau.
The total population in the basin is 1,62,45,666 (Census data-2001) with 51.57 % male and 48.43 %
female population. Population density in the basin varies from 100 to 1000 persons/Sq.km. The source
of drinking water includes wells, tubewells and handpumps.
Narmada basin, on the basis of Agro-climatic regions, can be divided into Eastern, Central, Western
plateau hill region and Gujarat plains. Agro-ecologically, basin can be broadly divided into 2 zones- Hot
subhumid eco-region with red and black soils and Hot semi-humid arid eco-region with medium and
deep black soils.
About 30% of the basin is covered under major and medium command area. The 21 major and 23
medium projects constitute 277 dams, 2 barrages, 2 weirs and 4 lifts. These projects have an extensive
canal system spread largely in the middle and lower plains of the basin. Also 2 major hydro-electric
projects- Sardar sarovar (Installed Capacity-1450 MW) and Indira Sagar project (Installed capacity-1015
MW), along with 3 other projects contributes to a total of 3498.5 MW hydro-power generation in the
basin.
There are a total of 35 Hydro-meteorological stations in the basin. In the basin, 4 distinct seasons
occurs across the year. 90% of the rainfall occurs in the monsoon season. The mean average
temperature varies from 18 OC to 32 OC.
Surface water quality observations are taken at 19 sites of CWC located in Madhya Pradesh and
Gujarat. 78 well locations in the Narmada Basin measures ground water quality parameters.
Narmada River is a part of one of the Inter-basin water transfer link. The link- Par Tapi- Narmada
proposes to transfer surpluses available between Par and Tapi to water deficit areas in north Gujarat.
A number of water tourism sites are located in the basin and includes National parks, Pilgrimages,
waterfalls, etc. accounting to 27 locations.

Narmada Basin
1. Introduction
1.1 Overview of basin
Narmada basin extends over an area of 92,672.42 Sq.km and lies between east longitudes 72° 38‘ to
81°43’ and north latitudes 21° 27’ to 23° 37’ which is nearly 3% of the total geographical area of the
country. The geographical location of Narmada Basin is shown in Map 1. Map 2a shows the 56 m
spatial resolution AWiFS satellite imagery of the basin.
The basin is bounded on the north by the Vindhyas, on the east by the Maikala range, on the south
by the Satpuras and on the west by the Arabian Sea. Lying in the northern extremity of the Deccan
plateau, the basin covers large areas in the States of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and a comparatively
smaller area in Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh (Annexure I: A). The state wise distribution of the
basin area is shown in the Fig. 1.The basin spreads broadly over 27 districts and 20 parliamentary
constituencies (2009) comprising 15 of Madhya Pradesh, 3 of Gujarat, and 1 each of Chhattisgarh
and Maharashtra. (Annexure I: B)
The basin has an elongated shape with a maximum length of 953 km. from east to west and a
maximum width of 234 km from north to south. The hilly regions are in the upper part of the basin,
and lower middle reaches are broad and fertile areas well suited for cultivation.
Salient features of the basin are listed in Table 1. The average annual water potential of the basin is
45.64 BCM. The Utilizable Surface Water in the basin accounts to 34.50 BCM.
The basin is divided in 3 Sub-basins viz. Narmada Upper, Narmada Middle and Narmada Lower Sub-
basin. The drainage network of Narmada River consists of 19 major tributaries (total-41 tributaries)
as shown in Map 2b.
The total population in the basin is 1,62,45,666 (Census-2001). Out of this, 83,77,380 (51.57%) are
males and 78,68,286 (48.43 %) are females. Number of villages in the basin is 17493 and 3016933
no. of households.

Narmada Basin
Figure 1. State wise basin area
1.2 Topography
The basin has five well defined physiographic zones. They are -
(i) The Upper hilly areas (ii) The Upper Plains (iii) The middle plains (iv) The lower hilly areas and (v)
the lower plains
The elevation variation in the basin is depicted in Table 2. From DEM it is noted that the maximum
area of the basin falls in the 300-500m elevation range. Maximum elevation is observed in the
uppermost region of the basin. The highest elevation in the basin is 1,317 m (SRTM DEM 90 m). The
elevation zone map of the basin is given in Map 3.
The upper hilly areas and plains come under the Vindhyanchal Baghelkhand region. The region is a
hill-valley complex covering Annupur, Shahdol, Dindori, Mandla, Balaghat, Jabalpur, Narsimhapur
and Chhindwara districts of Madhya Pradesh falling in Narmada basin. The main elements of this
region, spreading over Narmada basin are scraps of (i) Vindhyan sandstones and (ii) Narmada-Son
Trough on its south. The latter is a structural dislocation along the junction of Archaeans and the
Bijawars with the Vindhyans. The Narmada valley has youthful appearance and has falls, rapids and
gorges in its course. The Dhuandhar falls (Bheraghat, 15 m) followed by a 3 km long marble gorge is
an example in point. South of the trough, lies the geological and physiographic complex (eastern
expansion of the Satpura) and here is located country’s core of the radial drainage, the Amarkantak
(1,087 m) in the Maikala range.The whole surface is an assemblage of flat-topped plateaus
(Chhindwara, Seoni, Maikal, Deogarh, etc.) with 600-900 m general elevation.
The middle plains and the lower hilly areas come under the Malwa region. The region covers
Hoshangabad, Betul, East Nimar, West Nimar, Barwani, Dhar, Dewas, Sehore and Jhabua districts of
Madhya Pradesh falling in the basin. Malwa region, in the basin falls into following well-marked
physiographic units: (i) West Vindhyas, (ii) West Narmada Trough and (iii) West Satpuras.The
6
Narmada Basin
Vindhya range runs in a curve for the first 100 km from its western terminus, its convex side facing
the Narmada Valley. For the next 160 km, a more open type of country prevails and the basaltic
escarpment becomes more prominent near Hoshangabad, the rock type changes, the Vindhya Range
comes down very close to the Narmada River and presents a terraced slope built of hard
sandstones alternating with shales.Western Narmada Trough is a tract of fertile land. The Narmada
valley has a variable longitudinal slope and is broken up into parts separated by hills. Narmada flows
through a gorge (the Mandhata gorge) carved out of Vindhyan sandstones. North of Narmada is the
Dhar Upland, a hilly and forested area. Nimar upland stretches from east to west in the north of the
Satpuras. The Western Satpuras separate the Narmada and the Tapi basins.
The lowermost part of the basin falls under Gujarat region. The Gujarat Alluvial Plain is the outcome
of an extensive Pleistocene sedimentation called as Coastal Alluvium. The elevation of this region
ranges from 5-10 m or even less.

1.3 Climate
The Tropic of Cancer crosses the Narmada basin in the upper plains area and a major part of the
basin lies just below this line. The climate of the basin is humid and tropical, although at places
extremes of heat and cold are often encountered.
In the year, four distinct seasons occur in the basin. They are (i) cold weather, (ii) hot weather, (iii)
south-west monsoon and (iv) post-monsoon. The cold weather season which commences in
November and continues till the end of February, is characterised by bright cloudless days and clean
nights and piercing winds. There is slight precipitation in the basin during this season.
The hot weather starts in March and continues up to the middle of June. May is usually the hottest
month. This season is generally dry.
The south-west monsoon sets in by the middle of June and withdraws by the first week of October.
June to September is the rainiest months. During this season, the weather is somewhat sultry and
oppressive, especially in areas adjoining the Narmada River.
In the post-monsoon season, a few thunder-storms occur, especially in October. Thereafter, the
weather clears up and dry pleasant weather prevails throughout the valley. (Source: Report of
Irrigation Commission,1972)
1.3.1 Rainfall
Rainfall is heavy in the upper hilly and upper plains areas of the basin. It gradually decreases towards
the lower plains and the lower hilly areas and again increases towards the coast and south-western
portions of the basin (Map 4.)
In the upper hilly areas, the annual rainfall, in general, is more than 1400 mm but it goes up to 1650
mm in some parts. In the upper plains, near Jabalpur to near Punasa dam site, the annual rainfall
decreases from 1400 mm to less than 1000 mm with the high rainfall zone around Pachmarhi where
the annual rainfall exceeds 1800 mm. In the lower plains the annual rainfall decreases rapidly from
1000 mm at the eastern and to less than 650 mm around Barwani. This area represents the most
arid part of the Narmada Basin. In the lower hill areas, the annual rainfall again increases to a little
over 750 mm (Source: www.nca.gov.in). Sub-basin wise Annual Rainfall for 1971-2004 is given in
Annexure II: A.A major portion of the precipitation in the basin takes place during the southwest
monsoon, and accounts for about 85% to 95% of the total precipitation. The post monsoon accounts
for about 9% of the precipitation whereas the winter and the pre-monsoon, together account for
about a maximum of 10% of the total precipitation.
From the data of fifty years on intensity of rainfall during a 24 hours period as compiled by the
Central Water Commission, it can be concluded that the most intense rain occurs in the southern
section of the upper Narmada basin, where 24-hour rainfall is about 360 mm. The least intense
rainfall occurs in lower middle part of the basin, where the 24 hours rainfall is less 260 mm.
Nearly 90% of this rainfall is received during the five monsoon months from June to October and
about 60% is received in the two months of July & August.
However, around 83 blocks of 15 districts (3-Gujarat, 11-Madhya Pradesh & 1-Maharashtra) in the
basin are drought prone (Source: Drought Prone Areas Program, DPAP, MoRD, 2002).

1.3.2 Temperature
Temperature of Narmada Basin is like any other part of Central India. The difference between the
maximum & minimum temperature, in any part of the basin, is quite pronounced. The temperature
is maximum in the month of May and minimum in the month of January. In general, the upper
Narmada Basin records lower temperature as compared to middle basin. In lower section of the
basin, the influence of the sea is prominent, and temperature though lower than the middle basin, is
higher than the upper reaches of Narmada River. (Source: Report of Irrigation Commission, 1972)
Figure 2. Monthly average temperature (1969-2004)
Temperature profile of the basin (Fig 2.) shows that in the cold weather, January month records the
lowest temperature (Minimum Temperature-10.87°C) and May records the highest temperature
(Maximum Temperature-40.58 °C) in the hot weather for the period of 36 years (Annexure II: B).

1.3.3 Trends and variability

The rainfall data in basin based on the Rainfall gridded daily data (0.5o x 0.5 o) for 35 years (1971-
2005) was interpolated to generate a raster layer. Trends have been generated based on area
weighted average and regression analysis techniques. State, district, village and basin wise trends
can be visualized monthly, seasonally and yearly.
The rainfall trend graph shown in the Fig. 3 indicates that there is no major change in the rainfall
pattern. However, in the last 35 years (1971-2004), maximum rainfall was observed in the year 1994
and minimum rainfall was observed in the year 2000. (Annexure II: A)

1.4 Major rivers

Narmada is the largest west flowing river of the peninsula India. It rises from a Kund near
Amarkantak, in the Anuppur district (2011) of Madhya Pradesh, at an elevation of about 1057 m in
the Maikala range. It also called Rewa. It forms the traditional boundary between North India and
South India .The river flows through Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat between Vindhya
and Satpura hill ranges before falling into the Gulf of Cambay in the Arabian Sea about 10 km north
of Bharuch. The total length of the river from the head to its outfall into the Arabian Sea is 1,333 km.
For the first 1085 km it runs in Madhya Pradesh and thereafter forms the common boundary
between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra for 39 km, and Maharashtra and Gujarat for 43 km. In
Gujarat State it stretches for 166 km.
There are total 41 tributaries of the Narmada River. Out of these, 8 important tributaries joins the
river from right bank and 11 important tributaries joins from the left bank. The river network map of
Narmada Basin is shown in Map 2b.The first major tributary; the Burhner, joins Narmada from left.
Further downstream, it receives the Banjar from the left. As Narmada enters the upper fertile plains,
it receives the Hiran on the right bank. In continuation, the river receives several tributaries the Sher,
the Shakkar, the Dudhi, the Tawa, the Ganjal from the left and the Tendoni, the Barna, the Kolar
from the right. During its journey through the middle plains, it receives the Chhota Tawa, the Kundi
from the left and the Man from the right. In the lower hilly regions, Narmada receives the Goi from
the left and the Uri, the Hatni from the right. The Karjan from the left and the Orsang from the right
are the important tributaries joining the river in the lower plains. Beyond Bharuch, the valley widens
into an estuary. Finally, the river enters the Gulf of Khambhat. (Source: Report of Irrigation

Narmada Basin Report
1.5 Land use/land cover

Land Cover is defined as observed physical features on the Earth’s surface. When an economic
function is added to it, it becomes Land Use (FAO, 2005).
The major land use/ cover classes of Narmada Basin are- Agriculture, Forest, Wasteland,
Waterbodies and the Builtup as shown in Map 5.
The agricultural area spreads over 56.90% of the basin. In the basin 3 types of cultivation is observed
1) the kharif crop, 2) the rabi and 3) the summer/ Zaid crop. Wherever irrigation facilities exist,
perennial and eight-monthly crops are cultivated. Cultivation is by a system of rotation of crops and
the major crop seasons are the kharif and the rabi. Paddy is the most common crop especially in the
upper sections of the basin, where the rainfall is more and soil infiltration is poor. Wheat cultivation
is more in the middle and lower sections of the basin. Districts like Hoshangabad, Raisen, Sagar,
Dhar, Sehore etc. wheat cultivation is more popular than the paddy. Other cereals like Jawar, Bajra,
Maize, Barley etc. are also cultivated and in some districts like Chhindwara, Dhar, Dewas, Jhabua,
Khargone and Dhule, they constitute a major share of the crops. (Source: Water Year Book, CWC,
2002-03)
In the basin, forests occupy 32.88 % of the total geographical area (Land Use / Land Cover 2005-06).
In the upper reaches of basin, the forests are of tropical, moist, deciduous type, whereas in the
middle and lower basins, the vegetation is of tropical dry and deciduous type. Bamboo is common in
both upper and middle reaches, especially in the district of Mandla which hosts the famous Kanha
National Park. The forests along the Narmada in Maharashtra and Gujarat belong to southern dry,
deciduous types
Wasteland covers 6.13 % of the basin. Large patches of Scrub lands are prominently visible in the
lower part of the basin. Some barren, rocky wastelands are also observed in the basin.
Narmada and its tributaries have contributed to the land cover class waterbodies by 2.95 %. Few
large waterbodies i.e. Indira Sagar, Bargi, Tawa etc. with considerable reservoir area/ submergence
area has also contributed to the same.
The Built-up land (Includes Urban and Rural class) covers 1.13 % of the basin. Jabalpur is the biggest
urban centre in the basin. The important urban centres are Bharuch and Ankleshwar in Gujarat;
Murwara (Katni), Jabalpur, Khandwa, Betul, Hoshangabad, Itarsi and Khargone in Madhya Pradesh.

Narmada Basin
1.6 Soils
Soil is composed of minerals, mixed with some organic matter, which differ from its parent materials
in terms of its texture, structure, consistency, color, chemical, biological and other characteristics.
Information on the soil profile is also required for simulating the hydrological character of the basin.
The available information on soil survey conducted in the basin indicates that black soils are
predominant in the basin. The coastal plains are composed of alluvial clays with a layer of black soil
on top.
In the upper basin, the majority of the soil are characterised by shallow black soils. These soils are
erosional products of trap basalts. The black soils are rich in smeclite clays having a high water
holding capacity. These clay lattices expand when they absorb water and thus reduce the water
drainage. The organic matter is generally less than 5% in black soils. The black soils in the upper
basin are generally in-situ kor collovial. These soils are often interspersed with red sandy or laterite
soils. The profile is generally shallow and mainly covers the hilltops and plateau regions. The red soils
are the result of intense chemical leaching of basalts whereby all the minerals in the rock are
leached out except the oxides of silica, iron and aluminium. Due to intense leaching, these soils have
a reasonably good drainage but lacking in nutrients essential for plant growth.
The soils in the Vindhyan and Satpura plateau region of the middle basin range from shallow black
soils to medium black soils. Around Hoshangabad, recent alluviums with varied thickness can be
witnessed. This soil is extremely fertile and supports cotton, Jawar and wheat.
In the lower part of the basin, the major soils of the valley and southern plateau are medium deep
black soils. On the other hand mixed red and black soils occur in the northern plateau. In the mouth
of the Narmada, Pliocene rocks along with recent alluviums are seen. These alluvial soils are mostly
sandy looms with good drainage. They are extremely fertile and support good crops. (Source: Water
Year Book, CWC, 2002-03)
More than 50 % of the basin is covered with soil of Fine texture followed by the medium texture soil
(aprox.45%) as shown in Map 6.
Soil erosion is fairly severe in the upper hilly and upper plains regions in the Narmada basin. Severe
erosion also occurs throughout course of the river in the lower plains. Else, the soil erosion in the
middle and lower plain areas in the basin is of moderate intensity (Map 7.).
The major portion of the basin is with gentle slope accounting to more than 40% as shown in Map 8.
Nearly 20% of soil is highly productive and maximum of approx.28 % is moderately productive soil
(Map 9.)

1.7 Agro-climatic zones

Agro-climatic Zones: The Narmada basin is divided into 4 Agro-climatic zones. The Eastern Plateau
and Hills Region (6%), Central Plateau and Hills region (51%), Western Plateau and Hills Region (38%)
and Gujarat plains and hills region (5%). Agro climatic zone map of Narmada basin are shown in Map
10.
The Eastern Plateau and Hills Region covers parts of Balaghat and Mandla districts of Madhya
Pradesh. Major parts of districts of MP covering Narmada basin (Betul, Chhindwara, Harda,
Hoshangabad, Jabalpur, Narsimhapur, Raisen and Sehore) falls in Central Plateau and Hills zone.
The Western Plateau and Hills Region covers parts of Barwani, Dhar, East Nimar, Jhabua, West Nimar
(MP) and Nandurbur (Maharashtra) districts. The parts of Bharuch, Narmada and Vadodara districts
of Gujarat covering Narmada basin falls in Gujarat plains and hills region.
1.8 Agro-ecological zones

Agro–ecological Zones: Agro-ecological zones of Narmada Basin are shown in the Map 11. On the
basis of Agro-ecological zones, the Narmada basin is broadly divided into 2 zones.
The upper most Hot subhumid eco-region with red and black soils (Agro-Ecoregion 10) zone covers
57.6% of the basin. Parts of Balaghat, Betul, Chhindwara, Harda, Hoshangabad, Narsimhapur, Raisen,
Sehore, Mandla, Dewas and Dindori districts (MP) falls under this Zone. The climate of the region is
characterised by hot summers and mild winters. Some of the eastern districts (Balaghat, Mandla,
Chhindwara, Seoni), however, are relatively more humid and here the Length of Growth Period (LGP)
ranges from 180-210 days in a year. The soil continuum comprises largely medium and deep Black
soils interspersed in patches of Red soils. The natural vegetation comprises tropical moist deciduous
forest. Rice, sorghum, pigeonpea and soybean are common Kharif crops, while gram, wheat and
vegetables are common Rabi crops. (Source: Agro-Ecological Regions of India, Technical Bulletin,
NBSS Publ .24, National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning, Nagpur)
The lowermost Hot semi-arid eco-region with medium and deep black soils (Agro-Ecoregion 5) zone
covers 41.7 % of the basin area. Parts of Barwani, Dhar, East Nimar, Jhabua, West Nimar (MP) ,
Nandurbur (Maharashtra) and Bharuch, Narmada and Vadodara (Gujarat) districts falls under this
zone. The climate of the area is characterised by hot and wet summers and dry winters. The annual
precipitation ranges from 500-1000 mm. The Length of Growth Period (LGP) ranges from 90-150
days in a year. The parts of Jhabua and Dhar districts of Madhya Pradesh are subject to drought
hazard once in three years. The dominant soil-scapes, representing the region are gently to very
gently sloping deep, loamy to clayey Ustochrepts and nearly level to very gently sloping deep Black
soils. The natural vegetation comprises dry deciduous forest. The common Kharif crops cultivated in
the area are sorghum, pearl millet, pigeon pea, groundnut, soybean, maize and pulses. The common
Rabi crops are sorghum, safflower, sunflower and gram. (Source: Agro-Ecological Regions of India,
Technical Bulletin, NBSS Publ .24, National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning, Nagpur)
However, a comparatively very smaller area of the basin (0.7%) falls in Hot subhumid eco-region
with red and yellow soils zone.

3.2.4 Command area and canals network

Nearly, 30% of basin area is under command (Major + Medium) out of which 27.6 % covers under
major command and 3.3 % is under medium command.
The Major Command areas in the basin are Indira Sagar, Bargi (Rani Avanti Bai Sagar ), Bargi
Diversion, Sardar Sarovar and Tawa. These commands cover Jabalpur, Narsimhapur, Raisen,
Hoshangabad, Harda, Sehore, West Nimar districts of Madhya Pradesh and Bharuch, Narmada and
Vadodara districts of Gujarat State.
The Medium Command areas in the basin include Upper Beda, Matiyari Chandrakeshar, Uri, Machak,
Bohari Bund, Madai, Heran, etc.
A study was carried out jointly by CWC & ISRO to assess the existing status of the irrigation
commands. IRS P4 LISS III data of two different seasons namely, pre monsoon (2005) and post
monsoon (2004) were used for delineation of waterlogged and salt affected areas of major and
medium irrigation commands of Narmada basin. About 72.84 Sq.km areas in the basin is
waterlogged. The problem of waterlogging is observed in lower part of the basin which comes under
Sardar sarovar, Ukai and Karjan command area.
The basin has an extensive canal network which spreads in the basin as well as in the other basins.
Narmada canal (Sardar Sarovar Major Project), is the longest lined irrigation canal in the world. It is
about 459 km long; with its head works (Sardar Sarovar dam) located in Narmada district of Gujarat
and extends up to Gujarat -Rajasthan border. The canal, extending further, irrigates areas in Barmer
and Jalore districts of Rajasthan. Hence, the network of Narmada canal involves an inter-basin

4. Ground water resources

4.1 Ground water observation wells
The occurrence of ground water generally depends upon the rainfall, drainage, topography and the
geological conditions of the area. The ground water in upper, middle and lower basin occurs in
distinct horizons with characteristic aquifers.
In the upper basin, the geological formation is mainly the older rocks belonging to the Archaeans
and Vindhyans and are characterised by good water potential. The ground water within part of the
basin occurs mainly in the weathered zones of the rocks. The quality and quantity of the ground
water is reasonably good.
In the middle part of the basin where Gondwana rocks are predominant, the ground water occurs in
varied quantities in the pores of sandstones. The occurrence mainly depends on the grain size of the
rocks. In the coarse grained rocks, the ground water availability is substantial. However, in the
sections of the basin where the trap rocks are exposed, the ground water conditions are rather
erratic. In the trap basalts, ground water occurs in patchy acquirers and often the aquifers are
unrelated.
A significant part of the lower basin is occupied by trap basalts where the ground water occurs in
patchy aquifers. However, near the mouth of the river, the coastal alluvials are pre-dominant. The
coastal alluvials contain highly permeable aquifers with good quantities of water. Their yield is
generally excellent, with good recharge characteristics. The ground water in this area occurs mainly
in unconfined aquifers with varying depths. However, ground water in alluvials is susceptible to
seasonal water table fluctuations. In thickly populated areas, these aquifers are often contaminated
(Source: Water Year Book, CWC, 2002-03).
There are total 393 Ground water observation wells located in the basin (Map 17.) The Narmada
upper sub-basin has the maximum no. of observation wells accounting to 167 and Narmada lower
sub-basin has the lowest no. of observation well (82) as given in Table 9.

4.2 Ground water level fluctuation

The occurrence of ground water generally depends upon the rainfall, drainage, topography and the
geological conditions of the area. Ground water fluctuation in the Mahi basin is assessed for
recharge and draft conditions based on the available ground water level in four different seasons.
Ground water recharge is estimated by the difference between pre and post monsoon seasons.
Similarly, ground water draft is estimated by the difference between post-monsoon and post-
monsoon (rabi) seasons data. Interpolated maps for ground water recharge and irrigation draft (rabi)
are prepared based on the available ground water fluctuation data in the basin.
The ground water level fluctuation maps Recharge (2011) shown in the Map 18. indicates that there
is a rise of >4 meters in parts of Chhindwara, Dewas,Dhar, West Nimar, Raisen districts of Madhya
Pradesh falling in Narmada basin. Betul, Narsimhapur,Hoshangabad and Harda districts registers a
rise of 2-4 meters in Madhya Pradesh.
A comparatively low values in the water level rise (<2 meters) is indicated in parts of Vadodara,
Bharuch and Narmada districts of Gujarat state falling in the basin. However, very small portions of
Dhar, West Nimar and Bharwani also show a fall of 2-4 m.
Ground water fluctuation maps due to draft (2011) shown in Map 19. indicates that in a large
portion of the basin, there is a fall of <2 meters. Some parts of the districts Betul, West and East
Nimar, Dewas, Sehore and Jabalpur also shows a fall of 2-4 metres with West Nimar, Dewas and
Betul showing a fall of >4 meters in some areas.
However, Raisen, Hoshanabad, East Nimar (MP) and Narmada, Vadodara and Bharuch (Gujarat)
districts shows a rise of 2-4 meters in comparatively smaller areas.

4.3 Litholog well locations

An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials
(gravel, sand, or silt) from which ground water can be extracted using a dug well or borewell.
Related terms include aquitard, which is a bed of low permeability along an aquifer and aquiclude
(or aquifuge), which is a solid, impermeable area underlying or overlying an aquifer. If the
impermeable layer overlies the aquifer layer, pressure could cause it to become a confined aquifer.
Aquifers may occur at various depths. Those closer to the surface are not only more likely to be used
for water supply and irrigation, but are also more likely to be tapped up by the local rainfall.
Alluvium, sandstone, loose sand/gravel etc. are the better aquifer material. In hardrock areas,
fracture/lineament plays an important role in identifying ground water potential areas. The
information on the aquifer material, depth and thickness of the aquifer layers in a basin can be
analysed based on the available lithlog information.
Ground Water Aquifer data is available for only the part of Narmada basin falling in Madhya
Pradesh. These are 280 bore locations (shown in Fig. 19) wherein 5 are Observation wells and 275
are Exploratory wells. The 5 no. of observation wells are located in the Mandla and Dindori districts
of Madhya Pradesh situated in the Narmada Upper sub-basin.
Crystalline Rocks (Archaean-Pre-Cambrian) is the major aquifer material in the districts Chhindwara,
Seoni, Betul. For the Dindori, Mandla, Dhar, West Nimar and East Nimar, Volcanic Flows & Inter-
trapeans (Cretaceous -Eocene -Recent) is the Aquifer material most encountered / tapped. The
detail of lithology in the basin is given in Annexures V: A.

5. Hydro-met observations
Meteorology and hydrology compose the interdisciplinary field of hydrometeorology. Systematic
and scientific hydrological observation and other water resources data collection forms the basic
need in the rational assessments of the surface water resources of river basins, which is one of the
foremost inputs for the overall planning and devolvement of the basin.
5.1 Hydrological observation sites

These stations carry out observations about various hydrological parameters as gauge (river water
level), discharge (amount of water released from a cross section in the river in a given time period),
sediment (concentration of solid particles in water) and river water quality pertaining to different
quality parameters.
29 Hydro-observation stations of CWC (Central Water Commission) are located in the basin (Map
21). These stations are categorized as ‘GDSQ’, where the abbreviation stands as: G-Gauge, D-
Discharge, S-Sediment and Q-Water Quality. RF stands for rainfall measuring station. Out of this, 26
are existing sites and 3 are closed sites. In addition to this, there are 2 Rainfall measuring stations of
CWC (Table-10). The detail of the HO sites is provided in Annexure VI: A.

5.2 Flood forecasting sites

Flood forecasting has been recognized as the most important, reliable and cost effective non-
structural measures for flood mitigation. CWC commenced the flood forecasting service in a small
way by establish flood forecasting unit for issuing water level forecast of the river.
Central Water Commission, Ministry of Water Resources has set up a network of flood forecasting
stations covering all important flood prone rivers. Flood forecasting indicates the forecast or inflow
level with its time of occurrence. Two kinds of forecasts are issued based on the utility of the
forecast. Inflow forecasts assist in reservoir regulation (full reservoir level & maximum water level)
and the level forecast is used for predicting water level (warning level & danger level) well ahead of
its occurrence.
Narmada Basin
The basin has 4 level forecast stations (Map 21.). These stations are wireless capable for quick
releasing of warning info during flood situation. The Garudeshwar and Bharuch are situated in
Gujarat and the Mandla and the Hoshangabad stations are situated in Madhya Pradesh. All these
stations are located on main Narmada River. The basin has no Inflow forecast stations (Table 11.).
The detail of Flood forecasting stations is given in Annexure VI: B.

5.3 Meteorological stations

Meteorology is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere. Meteorological phenomena
are observable weather events which illuminate, and are explained by the science of meteorology.
The frequent excess of meteorological data are unusually important when data associated with
events that can result in loss of life and destruction of property such as severe rainfall, storms, must
be carefully monitored spatially in order to issue timely and accurate warnings.
CWC has established 35 Hydro-Meteorology stations in the basin having meteorological capabilities.
These stations are established to understand the relationship between meteorological parameter
and river dynamics.
The basin has 52 Indian Meteorological stations (IMD).
The integrated approach of measuring meteorological parameter using Automated weather Stations
(AWS) is helpful in the remote region. This AWS station required a minimum maintenance and the
data is generated on the temporal basis. Under the supervision of ISRO there are 6 AWS station are
established in the basin. (Table-12) These stations are maintained and data stored by the MOSDAC.

6. Water quality
6.1 Surface water quality observations
CWC stations carry out observations for testing the surface water quality pertaining to sixty eight
water quality parameters which are considered to be the ‘Standard Hydrology Project Water Quality
Parameters’. All physical, chemical and biological water quality parameters are categorized further
under sub categories like field determinations, nutrients, organic matter, alkalinity, hardness, other
inorganics, major ions, coliforms and others.
Water Quality observations are taken at 19 Surface water quality observation sites of CWC. Out of
this, 17 sites (Sandia,Barmanghat, Bamni, Dindori, Chhidgaon, Pati, Kogaon, Manot, Mohgaon,
Mandleshwar,Handia,Hoshangabad,Rajghat,Patan,Gadarwara,Belkheri,Dhulsar are located in
Madhya Pradesh and 2 sites (Garudeshwar,Chandwada) are located in Gujarat.
As compared to the other rivers, the quality of Narmada water is quite good. Even near the point of
origin, the quality of river water was in class ‘C’ in the year 2001 while it was in class ‘B’ in earlier
years. As was observed for most other rivers, in case of Narmada also, BOD and Total Coliform are
critical parameters. (Source: www.nih.ernet.in)
Other than CWC, the State Pollution Control Boards of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat are also doing
the water quality monitoring of the River Narmada at 21 locations and its tributary streams Chhota
Tawa, Gour, Katni and Kunda at one location each.
6.2 Ground water quality observations

Occurrence of fluoride in ground water has been found in Mandla, Dindori, Chhindwara, Dhar,
Sehore, Raisen, and Seoni districts of Madhya Pradesh. Bharuch, Vadodara and Narmada districts of
Gujarat also comes under this scenario. There are also concerns about the ground water quality in
Bharuch with the chemical units there pumping their effluents into the aquifers leading to heavy
pollution of ground water. Tests have revealed that the mercury levels in the ground water near the
Ankleshwar Industrial Estate are more than 100 times the admissible levels. This has been
compounded by saline ingress from the sea due to heavy drawls of ground water in the area.
Throughout the plains areas of the basin there is the problem of chemical residues from agriculture
entering the ground water and this is reflected in the fact that about 40% of the ground water
sample collection sites of the Central Ground Water Board in the plains areas of the basin where
modern agriculture is practised reported nitrate levels in excess of 100 mg/litre with some sites
having levels higher than 300 mg/litre. Some areas in Jhabua and Dhar district where there are
fluoride rocks in the aquifers have high fluoride content in the ground water leading to the
prevalence of fluorosis among the population that uses this ground water. Some steps have been
taken by the government to provide alternate treated water to these areas. (CWC, 2006)
There are total 78 well locations in the Narmada Basin which measures ground water quality
parameters.
Narmada Basin
7. Inter-basin transfer links

There is one Inter-Basin Transfer Link which crosses the Narmada basin. The Par-Tapi-Narmada Link
(Map 22.) proposes to transfer surpluses available between Par and Tapi to water deficit areas in
north Gujarat. It will transfer 1,350 MCM of water through a canal of length 401 km. by gravity. The
total length of the link canal is sub-divided into two reaches viz. Par-Tapi (211 km including 5.5 km.
tunnel and 33.3 Km. Feeder length), and Tapi -Narmada (190.1 km). The link from Par to Tapi starts
with a tunnel connecting Mohankavchali reservoir to Paikhed weir. The open channel link starts from
Paikhed weir and drops into Ukai reservoir. The Tapi-Narmada portion of the link starts from Ukai
reservoir crosses Narmada River and terminates at the Miyagam branch canal of Narmada main
canal.(Source: National Water Development Agency)

Amarkantak is a great pilgrim centre for the Hindus, and is the source of the rivers Narmada and
Sone. While the Narmada flows westwards from Amarkantak, the Sone flows towards the East.
Amarkantak is indeed blessed by Nature. Holy ponds, lofty hills, forested surroundings,
breathtakingly beautiful waterfalls and an ever-pervading air of serenity make Amarkantak a much
sought-after destination for the religious-minded as well as for the nature-lover. Here we can see
Brighu Righu Kamandal, Dhuni Pani and Dubhara.
Garudeshwar , Bawangaja , Omkareshwar, Bhrigu Kamandal, and Salkanpur Temple are some of the
other pilgrimage centres located on/ nearby Narmada river.
The Dudhdhara Waterfall, near Amarkantak is famous for its milk-white waterfall from a height of
about 4.6 m.
Kapildhara Waterfall , with a fall of about hundred feet, is famous for scene of natural beauty with
mountains and dense forest down hills.
Kanha National Park located in the upper reaches of Narmada, about 18 km from Mandla, boasts of
several wild animals including the Tiger. Two tributaries of Narmada, namely, Hallon and Banjar,
flow through this park. It is one of the best National Parks of Asia, which has been described vividly
by Rudyard Kipling in his famous creation "Jungle Book".
Satpura National Park, set up in 1981, is located in Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh. Its
name is derived from Satpura hill ranges (Mahadeo hills) and covers an area of 524 Sq.km and along
with the adjoining Bori and Panchmarhi Sanctuaries, provides 1,427 Sq.km of unique Central Indian
Highland ecosystem. Satpura National Park, being part of a unique ecosystem, is very rich in
biodiversity.
Dindori National Fossils Park Ghughuya is situated in Dindori district of Madhya Pradesh in India.
This national park has plants in fossil form that existed in India anywhere between 40 million and
Narmada Basin
150 million years ago spread over seven villages of Mandla District (Ghuguwa, Umaria, Deorakhurd,
Barbaspur, Chanti-hills, Chargaon and Deori Kohani). The Mandla Plant Fossils National Park is an
area that spreads over 0.274 Sq.km. Such fossils are found in three other villages of the district also,
but they lie outside the national park.
The Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve covers part of three civil districts viz., Hoshangabad, Betul and
Chhindwara of Madhya Pradesh. The total area is 4,926.28 Sq.km. It envelops three wildlife
conservation units viz., Bori Sanctuary (518.00 Sq.km), Satpura National Park (524.37 Sq.km), and
Pachmarhi Sanctuary (461.37 Sq.km). Satpura National Park comprises the core zone and the
remaining area of 4,501.91 Sq.km), surrounding the core zone serves as buffer zone. The area
exhibits variety of geological rock and soil formations. It is one of the oldest forest reserves, which
has an established tradition of scientific management of forests.
Apart from the above national parks, there are also a number of natural preserves such as the Bagh
Caves (A group of nine caves & rock cut monuments representing the finest specimens of Buddhist
art and architecture in India) and the Bhedaghat (the Marble Rocks at Bhedaghat rise to a hundred
feet on either side of the Narmada river).
Shoolpaneshwar Sanctuary in Gujarat, near the Sardar Sarovar dam site, previously called the
Dumkal Sloth Bear Sanctuary now covers an area of about 607 Sq.km, comprises a major watershed
feeding the Sardar Sarovar and Karjan reservoir (on the Karjan River, a tributary of Narmada in
Gujarat). It is the habitat of mammals and a variety of birds, including eagles and hawks. (Source:

10. Conclusion
The report has been prepared using state-of-art space technology viz. Remote Sensing and GIS
techniques. Basin, sub-basin and watersheds, derived using DEM are used as hydrology unit in a very
scientific manner. The administrative boundaries of Survey of India have been used. IMD gridded
data for climate trend analysis and CWC data for water resources projects have been used for this
study.
Under India-WRIS project, entire country’s river basin and sub-basin boundaries have been
delineated and in the present report Narmada river basin and its various aspects are described.
Narmada is the seventh largest river of the country. The Narmada and its tributaries form an inter-
State river system flowing through the States of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat
constituting 9th largest basin area. The concerned states have arrived at an agreement regarding
sharing of water resources of the basin under the Narmada Water Disputes Tribunal. With the award
of the Narmada Water Disputes Tribunal, the basin is assured of all-round development in the water
resources front.
Mean annual rainfall in the basin accounts to 1062.45 mm. The utilizable surface water resources in
Narmada basin is 34.5 BCM. The total live storage capacity is 24.92 BCM (completed- 17.622 BCM,
under-construction-6.8347 BCM and under-consideration- 0.466 BCM) (Source: Water Resources at
a Glance, CWC, 2013).
As per Water Year Book CWC, 2002-03, the cultivable land of the basin is about 60% and only about
45% of the land was put to actual agricultural use. The agricultural area has been observed upto
56.9% of the basin as per Land Use Land Cover 2005-06 study indicating developments in the
agriculture sector.
Soil erosion pose an issue for the conservation of river supplies and especially of the storage
capacities created in the reservoirs. Hence, it is important that soil conservation measures are to be
taken up both in the cultivated areas and cultivable areas (not under cultivation).
With the available information, the study provides detailed insight of the Narmada river basin
specific to water resources. It can be used for basin level sustainable development and Integrated
water resources management (IWRM).
