PLC-Based Real-Time Reservoir Operation System: A Case Study of Nagarjuna Sagar DAM, Andhra Pradesh, India
The technological innovations are enormously useful to farmers, dam owners, dam authorities, and policy makers, particularly in the agriculture-dominant economy of India. Lately, the government of India has introduced the National Water Mission (NWM) as a part of the National action plan for climate change. The main aim of NWM is to conserve water, minimize wastage, and ensure its equitable and judicious distribution of water resources. Hence, a distinct approach plan is worked out by Nagarjuna Sagar dam authorities in the Andhra Pradesh State of India. The system comprises of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)-based gate control system for crest gates, right bank and left bank canal head regulator (HR) gates, chute gates, and gallery dewatering pumps with wireless communication from the command control center established at the dam site. It also measures the reservoir water level, sump water level in the gallery, and gate opening of the crest, chute, and HR of the left bank canal and right bank canal. The outcomes of this project are (a) spillway gates are being operated in real time as per reservoir operation schedule, particularly for effective regulations of flood; (b) right and left canal gates are being operated in real real-time basis as per pre-defined operations for canal regulation approved by the competent authorities; (c) water was delivered to the end users of water distraught area; (d) the water demand sharing timely, judiciously, equitably, and efficiently among the farmers, dam owners, dam authorities, and policy makers in command area and reduction of losses.
