Lecture 5

This document discusses water resources planning and engineering. It covers types of planning including linear vs cyclic planning, single vs multi-purpose planning, and short vs long term planning. It also discusses levels of planning such as national, regional, and river basin planning. Key steps in water resources planning include setting objectives, data collection, demand projections, project formulation, and project analysis to select optimal alternatives.

EE231: Water Resources and Transportation Engineering

Water Resources Planning and Development


Introduction
 Water resources are natural resources of water that
are potentially useful.

 Water available in atmosphere, oceans, on land

surface and within soil

 Hydrological cycle main responsible for this

 Water resource engineering concerned with utilization,

control and quality management of water


Introduction
 Development of water resources involve
conception, planning, design, construction and
operation facilities to control and utilize water.

 Development of water resources a function of civil


engineers
Types of planning
1. In terms of the process
 Linear planning (old approach)

- The major components of water master planning: water resources, water demand
analyses, system design and socio-economic justification follow each other
Sequentially.

 Cyclic planning (new approach)


- The sequence of the activities of the planning components is repeated
several times (Inception, Mid-term, Draft Final, Final Plan)
2. In terms of the scope of planning

 Single purpose plan


It has to do with single activity such as water supply or irrigation or flood
control….etc
 Multi purpose plan
It aims at satisfying a number of purposes at the same time, such as irrigation, hydropower,
water supply , environmental management.
 Master plan
- Some what old-fashioned type of plan, it is formulation of a phased development plan.
- It used to exploit the opportunities for single and multipurpose water resources projects in a
2. In terms of the scope of planning

 Comprehensive or integrated plan

- It is multi-unit, multipurpose and multi-objective plan

-It include economical, financial, political, social, and environmental objectives

-Consider both structural and non-structural (institutional) alternative

- It does not include feasibility studies of individual projects


3. In terms of areal extent

 National Plan
- To determine the national priorities for the allocation of scarce water resources in
view of the national objectives and constraints (National Water Plan).
 Regional Plan
- At regional level which depend of the country
- In principle it does not differ from a national plan
 River Basin Plan
- It use the hydrological boundaries as the planning limits
- It is an integrated plan
4. In terms of time frame of plan

o Short term planning


- Its advantages the uncertainty in the scenario is small
- It disadvantages is the lack vision on future development

o Long term planning


- Try to set out long term perspective and guidelines for the future development of a nation, region or river
basin
- It has a large of uncertainty
- It is a long term policy or tactical planning

o Strategic Planning (open end approach)


- It is a combination of short term and long-term planning
Steps involved in Water Resources Planning

 Statement of Objectives
- Before any project planning, a clear-cut statement of the objectives of the projects
 Collection of data
- Hydrological data i.e precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, stream flow, sediment, water quality etc.
- Geological data i.e geological formation, groundwater availability, minerals, rock and soil type etc
- Cartographic data i.e topographic and other maps of the area
- Economic Data i.e Industry, transportation, market, tourism, recreation land etc
- Ecological Data i.e vegetation, fish and wildlife etc
- Physical data i.e Location, climate history
- Spatial and temporal data ( agriculture data, municipal and industrial uses data, pollution data )
Steps involved in Water Resources Planning

 Projections for future


- Projection of future demand based on realistic possibilities of growth
- Unrealistic higher values of water needs may lead to overdesign and excessive investment
- The lower values may lead to shortage of water
 Project formulation
- A list of possible alternative proposal should be drawn
- The list of the alternatives should be reduced after neglecting the high cost projects
- The remaining alternatives should be studied and fully discussed their limitations boundary conditions and the
cost (Multi-criteria analyses)
- Final list should be comprehensive for further analyses of the project
Steps involved in Water Resources Planning

 Project analysis
- The next step to select the best of all the previous final list of alternatives based on

- Economical (with a minimum benefit cost ratio or at least equal to 1)

- Efficient

- Environmentally satisfactory
 Project implementation and authorization
