River Basin Development
For sustainability of any water resources system, the development of river basin is very essential. In this paper, the development of Kulsi River basin has been undertaken for morphometric study and prioritization of sub-watersheds for soil management, irrigation, hydropower generation, and flood mitigation. Morphometric analysis using remote sensing and GIS reveals that the basin is elongated with less runoff and less prone to soil erosion. CROPWAT 8.0 is used for determination of crop water requirements of thirty-nine varieties of crops suitable for the basin. Linear programming model is developed and solved in LINGO for irrigation planning. Three irrigation management plans are suggested for the basin for optimal cropping pattern which gives the maximum net benefits. To investigate the potential of hydropower and irrigation in the basin, a simulation model is developed. From the model, optimal reservoir capacity, firm power, maximum annual power, and maximum annual irrigation are obtained. The basin is ‘water surplus’ up to the projected year 2050 for meeting all the demands, investigated using the guidelines provided by National Water Development Agency. Finally for flood mitigation, flood retention times have been estimated corresponding to flood absorption capacities at different dam heights.
