Preliminary Feasibility Report<br />

Basania HE Project 3 X 30 MW<br />

39 Km forms boundary between Maharashtra and Gujarat. The river has a<br />

number <strong>of</strong> falls in its head reaches, at 8 Km from source the river drops 21m to<br />

24 m at Kapildhara falls, 0.4 Km further downstream it drops about by 4.6m at<br />

Dudhara falls. Flowing generally in southwesterly direction in narrow and deep<br />

valley the river takes pinhead turns at many places. Dhaundhara falls is located<br />

404 Km from the source and is near Jabalpur where river falls 15m, after which it<br />

flows through marbles, after passing the marble rocks Narmada enters the upper<br />

fertile plains at Nandhar, 806 Km from source and at Dhardi, 47 Km further<br />

downstream the river drops 12 m at each place. At 966 Km from source<br />

Sahasradhara falls is located and river drops further by 6.7m, flowing further<br />

west the river enters the lower hilly regions and flows through a gorge.<br />

Convergence <strong>of</strong> Vindhyas from the north and Satpuras from the south towards<br />

the river forms the 113 Km gorge. Emerging from the gorge the river enters<br />

lower plains where it meanders in broad curves till it falls into Gulf <strong>of</strong> Cambay in<br />

the Arabian Sea near Bharuch in Gujarat.<br />

The river has 41 tributaries <strong>of</strong> which 22 on left side and 19 on the right, the<br />

Uri, Hatni, Orsang etc.<br />

The catchment plan <strong>of</strong> Narmada basin up to Basania along with rainfall stations,<br />

G&D sites marked is shown as Plate 5.1.<br />

5.2.1 CATCHMENT AREA<br />

The Narmada basin up to Basania proposed dam site lies between Longitude<br />

80 o 24’5’’ E to 81 o 47’23’’ E and Latitude 21 o 59’40’’ N to 23 o 17’11’’ N. The<br />

catchment area up to the proposed dam site is 9472 sq.km. Most <strong>of</strong> the area lies<br />
