 Main Issues of the Barrage
Issues Proposed Solutions
Reduction in Barrage Flood Capacity from 1.5 million - Increase freeboard, under the fully
cusecs to 0.9 million cusecs, after closing of 10 gates. opened gates, for 1.3 million cusecs
flood.
Sedimentation Problems due to: Follow proper annual flushing when
- Reduction in River inflows to allow flushing sufficient flows in the river are
- Heavy siltation in Left & Right Pockets and Approach & available
Tail Channels. - Cleaning of silt from Pockets
- Silting in canals due to heavy silt intake from pockets. through Dredging/excavation and
de-silting of canals.

Deteriorations in the Barrage structure - Repairs to structure

- Routine Maintenance

Monitoring system Completely new Monitoring System

- The instruments are almost nonfunctioning
Electrical System Outdated Replacement
Laboratory and Workshop non-operational due to New workshops, laboratory and
damages to existing buildings other buildings
