5.2.3 SURFACE WINDS<br />

Preliminary Feasibility Report<br />

Basania HE Project 3 X 30 MW<br />

The wind velocity is not very much high. The maximum wind velocity is 7.3 km/h<br />

in the month <strong>of</strong> June. Wind velocity remains relatively high in the months <strong>of</strong> May<br />

to August. Wind velocities recorded at Mandla, Jabalpur and Umaria are shown<br />

in Table 5.4.<br />

5.2.4 EVAPORATION<br />

The evaporation losses for the proposed reservoir has been observed as<br />

999.41mm per year on the basis <strong>of</strong> 1982 to 1987 monthly potential<br />

evapotranspiration data <strong>of</strong> Manot, which is about 5 km upstream <strong>of</strong> proposed<br />

dam site, shown in Table 5.5.<br />

5.3 WATER AVAILABILITY STUDY<br />

5.3.1 DATA AVAILABILITY<br />

River flows have been measured at different G&D sites by CWC and state<br />

government <strong>of</strong> Madhya Pradesh, on Main River Narmada and its tributaries.<br />

Daily discharge data is available at following relevant G&D sites: -<br />

1. Manot G&D Site:<br />

The G&D site is about 5Km upstream <strong>of</strong> proposed dam site Basania, on Main<br />

River Narmada, catering to a catchment area <strong>of</strong> 5025 km 2 . The daily discharge<br />

data is available from Jun89 to May99.<br />

2. Mohgaon G&D Site:<br />

The G&D site is about 16Km upstream <strong>of</strong> confluence, on River Burhner, a<br />

tributary <strong>of</strong> Narmada, catering to a catchment area <strong>of</strong> 4090 km 2 . The location <strong>of</strong><br />

confluence is about 3km upstream <strong>of</strong> proposed dam site Basania. The daily<br />

discharge data is available from Jun89 to May99.<br />

5.3.2 PREVIOUS STUDY (MPEB)<br />

Annual run<strong>of</strong>f series from 1891 to 1967 at proposed dam site Basania was<br />

derived from weighted average annual rainfall <strong>of</strong> the proposed catchment using<br />

rainfall-run<strong>of</strong>f relationship at Jamtara, which is 128km downstream <strong>of</strong> Basania.<br />
