Salient features of investigation & preparation of
detailed irrigation project reports
1. General data : location, category of the project etc.
2. Planning : Master Plan for overall development of
the river basin, alternative proposals, various stages
of execution, effect of scheme on riparian rights and
existing upstream and down stream projects,
provision for water supply
3. Inter state aspects : inter state issues, aspects on sharing of
water, cost and benefits etc.
4. Surveys : detailed topographical surveys, besides surveys on
river, reservoir, headwork, canal, soil survey, soil conservation,
command area etc.
5. Geological investigation : detailed investigation on region as a
whole, reservoir, headworks and energy dissipation area,
intakes and regulators, major canal structures, tunnels,
penstock, hills, communication routes etc.
6. Seismic investigation
7. Foundation investigation for various structures, including
laboratory tests
8. Construction material surveys including laboratory test,
especially soils for impervious, semi-pervious and pervious
zones of earthen embankments, rock fill, sand etc. the sources
need to be identified and indicated.
9. Hydrological and meteorological investigations of rainfall,
temperature, sediment, water quality etc.
10. Hydrology : hydrological studies are to be carried out to
determine
a) availability of water for the benefit envisaged
b) design flood for the various structures (spill ways, weir
etc.)
c) Sediment storage
d) Evaporation rates from the reservoirs / concerned areas
e) Command area rain fall
f) All aspects affecting hydrology including flood routing,
back water effect etc.
11. Land acquisition & resettlement of oustees : the quantum of
land proposed is to be acquired in the submerged area, project
area, area coming under canals and distribution system,

Area required for rehabilitation of oustee has to be assessed correctly and
provision for land compensation specified
12. Designs : detailed design for all components prepared and got vetted
by central design organization
Earths or rockfill dam, masonry or concrete dam, spillway barrage,
weir etc and appurtenances
Energy dissipation arrangements, training walls etc
Openings through dam-galleries, head regulators, penstocks, other
outlets sluice etc.
Regulators
Canal and water conductor system, canal structures

Pump house, intake structures tunnels storage shaft, power
evacuation arrangements
Instrumentation
13. Irrigation and command area development : It includes
soil survey, classification of soil and land irrgability, water
requirements, cropping pattern detailed survey on on-farm
development etc.
14. Flood control and drainage : The study report includes flood
cushion in the Reservoir, maximum moderated flood out flows
over the spill ways, safe carrying capacity of channel etc.

15. Proposals on navigation and generation of power
16. construction programme, plant and manpower planning: pert
chart or CPM diagrams for construction programme of various
components has to be included. The plants and manpower
required are to be indicated.
17. Foreign exchange : Details of plants and machinery spare
parts required to be imported and foreign exchange required
indicated.
18. Financial resources
19. Estimate : in the estimates analysis of rates for various major
items of works components made indicating the year in which
rates adopted.
20. Revenue: The source of revenues should be furnished
(betterment, levy, irrigation cess, flood protection, crop wise
cess, water rates, sale of water miscellaneous receipt etc.
21. BC ratio
22. Ecological aspects: Water logging, salinity, submergence of
important mineral, plant life, wildlife, change in the regime of
the river etc.
23. Colonies and buildings: includes permanent buildings
required for maintenance of the project
24. Public participation and co-operation
25. Soil conservation
