Inter-Basin Pipeline Water Grid for Maharashtra
Maharashtra is facing water crises of unprecedented nature. There are floods during monsoon but in the same area, there is no water during the summer season. Some regions conically face years of droughts and the rivers’ current have webbed. Some reservoirs spill during monsoon whereas some do not get filled. On the other hand, water demands are continuously increasing. To overcome these issues, in this paper an attempt is made to develop an inter-basin water transfer pipeline grid for the river basins in the state of Maharashtra with the objective of transfer of water from surplus to deficits for both spatial and temporal scales. Major storages in all the river basins in the state are located at the georeferenced locations on the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of Maharashtra. Using the DEM to contour map and FRL and DSL of each of the reservoirs, pipeline water grid is delineated. The pipeline grid is filled during monsoon so that surplus waters can be transferred to deficit reservoirs. This also can be done during non-monsoon to serve the scarcity regions. Since the pipeline grid is designed for gravity flow and no major land acquisition issues are involved, the inter-basin pipeline water grid can be an effective solution to mitigate the water problems in the state.
