 Study aims suggesting most viable and scientifically
managed plan for development and utilization of surface
and ground water on a watershed management approach.
 In order to provide sustainability, number of artificial
recharge structures has also been proposed.
 Detailed hydrogeological and hydrological investigation
has been carried out.
 Various tools such as remote sensing , GIS and advanced
analytical techniques has been used at various levels for
run off computations, identify suitable areas for ground
water development, rain water harvesting and artificial
recharge structures.

16. Approach & Findings
 Detailed hydrogeological and hydrological investigation has been
carried out using tools such as remote sensing, GIS and advanced
analytical techniques at various levels for run off computations,
 Suitable areas for ground water development, rain water harvesting
and artificial recharge structures have been identified.
 Surface water availability and surface runoff being generated is
assessed in entire study area which is divided into number of
watersheds using the drainage network.
 Area of interest lies in the watershed of Kurdhabhali Nala , covers
major part of the project area offering good prospect of water
harvesting .
British Petroleum, CBM Block, Birbhum…….contd.

17. Approach & Findings
 Watershed has been divided and demarcated into 11
micro watersheds considering the lowest order of
drainage network.
 The monthly surface water run off computed for each
micro watershed and about 10 Million Cubic Meter
(MCM) ) of water is assessed as run off from the entire
watershed in the four monsoon months.
 Water harvesting structures designed to harness only 20
to 25% of the flow to the tune of 2 to 2.5 MCM so as to
keep minimum flow in the downstream as well as to
maintain the ecological balance of the area.
