Preface
Optimal management of water resources is the necessity of time in the wake of development and
growing need of population of India. The National Water Policy of India (2002) recognizes that
development and management of water resources need to be governed by national perspectives in
order to develop and conserve the scarce water resources in an integrated and environmentally
sound basis. The policy emphasizes the need for effective management of water resources by
intensifying research efforts in use of remote sensing technology and developing an information
system. In this reference a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on December 3, 2008
between the Central Water Commission (CWC) and National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Indian
Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to execute the project “Generation of Database and
Implementation of Web enabled Water resources Information System in the Country” short named
as India-WRIS WebGIS.
India-WRIS WebGIS has been developed and is in public domain since December 2010 (www.india-
wris.nrsc.gov.in). It provides a ‘Single Window solution’ for all water resources data and information
in a standardized national GIS framework and allow users to search, access, visualize, understand
and analyze comprehensive and contextual water resources data and information for planning,
development and Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).
Basin is recognized as the ideal and practical unit of water resources management because it allows
the holistic understanding of upstream-downstream hydrological interactions and solutions for
management for all competing sectors of water demand. The practice of basin planning has
developed due to the changing demands on river systems and the changing conditions of rivers by
human interventions. The multiple uses of water and varying demands on a river basin require an
integrated approach to managing river basin.
Basin wise report generation is one the important deliverables of India-WRIS project. Report of
Godavari basin describes systematically the present status of water resources: major water resources
projects, hydro-meteorological observations, surface and ground water development scenario,
topographic characteristics, climatic variability, land use / land cover pattern & allied natural
resources along with socio-economic profile of the basin. The report contains valuable latest
information of the basin on all aspects of water resources and allied sectors and will be useful as
baseline information for the irrigation officials, hydrologists, agriculturalists, conservationists,
research organizations and all those involved in the development of Godavari basin.

Executive summary
This report provides valuable information related to the topography, demography, climate, water
resources (surface & ground), hydro-meteorology and water quality (surface & ground) of Godavari
basin. It extends a total geographically calculated area of 302065.10 Sq. km with a maximum length
and width of about 995 km and 583 km, respectively. The Godavari and its tributaries are an inter-
state river system, flowing through the states of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha,
Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Puducherry. The core components of the water network include the
river Godavari, and its principal tributaries finally draining into the Bay of Bengal. The overall
catchment comprises of 8 sub-basins, which have been further clustered into 466 Watersheds each
of which represents a different tributary system.
The Godavari basin falls in Deccan plateau. Around 32% of total basin area lies in the elevation zone
of 500-750 m. The Godavari basin has a tropical climate. The weather in the basin is cold from mid-
October to mid-February and the western and the north-eastern part being colder than the rest of
the basin. The weather is comparatively hotter in the westernmost parts of the basin in comparison
to the central, northern and eastern region. The maximum rainfall occurs during the south-west
monsoon. Annual rainfall of the basin varies from 755 mm to 1531 mm and average annual rainfall
(1971-2005) is 1096.92 mm. Annual maximum temperature varies from 31 C to 33.5 C (1969-2004).
In the last 36 years average annual maximum temperature and the average annual minimum
temperature recorded was 32.85 C in and 20.53 C, respectively in the basin.
The basin falls in five agro-climatic zones and six agro-ecological zones. As per the assessment of Land
use/Land cover (2005-06), major part (59.57%) of the basin is covered with agricultural land. Forest
area is about 29.78% and water bodies occupy 2.06% of the total basin area. Black soils, red soils,
lateritic soils, alluvium, mixed soils and saline & alkaline soils are predominant in the basin.
The population density ranges from 25-50 persons per Sq. km to 500-1000 persons per Sq. km. The
basin spreads over 55 parliamentary constituencies (2009), comprising 25 of Maharashtra, 18 of
Andhra Pradesh, 4 of Madhya Pradesh, 3 each of Chhattisgarh and Odisha and 1 each of Karnataka
and Puducherry. There are six airports falling in the basin. There are more than 441 towns, 58072
settlements and 33 cities.
The Godavari basin is divided into 8 sub-basins. These sub-basins have been further clustered into
466 watersheds each of which represents a different tributary system for size ranging from 304 Sq.
km to 993 Sq. km with maximum number of watersheds falling in Weinganga sub-basin. A large scale
inventory of surface water bodies in Godavari basin shows 61912 numbers. There are about 59293
tanks, most of them small. There are reportedly 870 reservoirs in the basin.
The Five year plans have provided at present 70 major and 216 medium irrigation projects in
Godavari. ERM projects are 6 and 14 hydro-electric projects are in operation. Other than this there
are 62 Lift irrigation schemes in the basin. So far nearby 968 nos. of structure (Dams and
Barrage/Weir/Anicuts) is constructed providing irrigation, diversion, storage purpose and other
facilities. 921 Dams and 47 Barrages/Weirs/Anicuts are constructed in the basin. Wardha sub-basin
has the highest number of dams. Upper Kolab, Upper Penganga, Upper Wardha, Gosi Khurd, Sriram
iii
Godavari Basin
Sagar Stage I (Pochampad) and Upper Wainganga are AIBP projects, being executed in Godavari
basin. There are several irrigation projects benefitting different parts of the basin.
There are 18 Flood Forecasting Stations and 88 hydrological observation stations. Out of 18 FF
stations, 4 are flood inflow stations (reservoirs) and 14 are flood level stations (river forecast
stations). For recording meterological parameters there are 226 IMD stations, 69 CWC observation
stations and 86 ISRO AWS stations. Water quality observations are taken at 20 surface water quality
observation sites of CWC. The CGWB is monitoring the ground water levels four times a year
(Jan/May/Aug/Nov) through a network of 1875 ground water observation wells.
There are four Inter-basin Transfer links. They are the Inchampalli Nagarjunasagar Link, the
Inchampalli–Pulichintala Link, the Polavaram-Vijaywada Link, and the Mahanadi Godavari Link which
proposes river water transfer from the region of surplus to deficit areas. National Waterway – 4 is the
major waterway in central India. There are 15 wildlife sanctuaries, 14 famous pilgrimage (temple)
sites, more than 5 waterfalls, 4 national parks and many more places having tourism values.

Godavari Basin
1. Introduction
1.1 Overview of basin
River basins form the basic hydrological units for water resources planning. The basin has been
recognized as a practical hydrological unit for water resources management. In fact, optimal
development of the water resources can’t possibly be achieved unless individual water resources
development projects are considered as a part of the basin level plan.
The Godavari is the second largest basin and accounts for nearly 9.5% of the total geographical area
of the country. It extends over states of Maharashtra (48.7%), Andhra Pradesh (23.7%), Chhattisgarh
(12.4%) and Odisha (5.7%) in addition to smaller parts in Madhya Pradesh (7.8%), Karnataka (1.4%)
and Union territory of Puducherry (0.01%) (Figure 1). The geographical setting of the basin is shown
in Map 1. The basin falls under division-All drainage flowing into Bay of Bengal and Region-Rivers
draining in Bay of Bengal, delineated primarily based upon drainage of rivers to outlet.
It extends over an area of 302065.10 Sq. km, with a maximum length and width of about 995 km and
583 km, respectively. The CWC reported area of the basin is 312812.0 Sq. km . The basin falls in the
Deccan Plateau lying between 73°24’ to 83°4’ east longitudes and 16°19’ to 22°34’ north latitudes.
The basin is bounded on the north by the Mahadeo Hills, the Satmala Hills, on the north-west by the
Ajanta Range, on the west by the North Sahyadri range of the Western Ghats, on the east and south-
east by the Eastern Ghats and on the south by the Balaghat Range. The interior part of the basin lies
in Maharashtra Plateau, the greater part of which is at an elevation of 300-600 m sloping eastward.
The eastern part of the basin is majorly covered by the Dandakaranya Range with the Eastern Ghats
forming the eastern boundary of the peninsula.
The core components of the water network include the river Godavari, the largest of the peninsular
river and its principal tributaries finally draining into the Bay of Bengal. The river Godavari rises at an
elevation of 1067 m in the western ghats near the Triambak hills in the Nasik district of Maharashtra.
The Godavari receives the waters from the Darna, the Pravara and the Manjra on its right bank
whereas from the Kadwa, the Purna, the Kaddam, the Pranhita, the Indravati and the Sabari on its
left bank. The Godavari basin receives major part of its rainfall during the south-west monsoon
season. The delta of the Godavari is gradualy extending into the sea and consists of a wide belt of
river borne alluvium. The salient features for the basin are listed in Table 1. The satellite

Godavari Basin
Figure 1. State-wise basin area
1.2 Topography
The Godavari basin falls in Deccan plateau. The basin is bounded on the north by the Mahadeo Hills,
the Satmala Hills comprising a series of table lands varying from 600-1200 m in elevation. The
western edge of the basin is bounded by an almost unbroken line of the North Sahyadri range of the
Western Ghats, from 600-2100 m height. The eastern area of the basin is majorly covered by the
Dandakaranya Range with the Eastern Ghats rising from the plains of East Godavari and
Vishakhapatnam to the level of the table lands of Jeypore. The basin’s southern boundary of the
basin follows the Harishchandra Range in west, Balaghat Range in the center and the Telangana
Plateau in east. In the interior part of the basin lies the Maharashtra Plateau.
Maharashtra Plateau gently slopes from Sahyadri eastward though apparently one is resolved into
broad extensive interfluves and the valleys. The Ajanta hills, the Godavari valley, the Ahmadnagar-
Balaghat plateau and part of Mahadeo Upland falls under Maharshtra plateau part in the basin. The
longest of the rivers of the Deccan, the Godavari virtually bisects the plateau of Maharasthra. The
Balaghat plateau is extensive and marginally dissected, forms the water divide between the two
major river systems, the Godavari on the north and the Krishna on the South. Starting from the
Sahyadri, the plateau with some remnants of the old surfaces of erosion, typified by Dholasane and
6
Godavari Basin
Parner surfaces, slopes gently eastwards. The river Sina and the tributaries of Godavari gave, by their
headward extension from the two sides south and north, divide the plateau into two parts, the
western part called Ahmadnagar plateau and the eastern part, the upland basin of Manjra.
The Vidarbha plain i.e., the eastern part of Maharashtra forms the Wardha-Wainganga region. Here
the basalt, so typical of Maharashtra plateau, comes in contact with the older crystalline rocks giving
rise to granite-gneissic relief, different from the usual ‘Mesa-and-valley’ topography. This part
comprises the Nagpur-Wardha plain on the west and the forest covered Wainganga valley in the
south-east. The area is rich in natural vegetation that covers the rugged hilly land. A change in the
structure and surface configuration with a concurrent increase in rainfall has changed the nature of
soils, promoted a more luxuriant growth of vegetation. Much of the region except the eastern part
of Wardha-Wainganga area and a small littoral patch in Ratangiri is underlain by basaltic rocks.

The western part of Vidarbha plain, drained by the Wardha and Penganga rivers and their
tributaries, is the Wardha-Penganga plain. It is mostly underlain by basalt presenting the familiar
trappean landscape of the plateau. The wardha plain is denuded so that its general elevation does
not exceed 300 m asl, though the plateau and the hilly areas on the north-west, culminating into the
upland of Arvi, stand out from the plains. The black or medium black soil occupying the valley is most
fertile, but morand, the grey soil, forms the most extensive cover that is suitable for cotton, jowar
and rice. The Wainganga sub-basin is a structural syncline it occupies a crystalline base, having more
than 1500 mm of rainfall. Rapid fluvial erosion has reduced the land considerably leaving a number
of isolated hills. Rocky surfaces, often devoid of thick soil cover, are usually covererd with forests.
The valley comprising the Nagpur, Chandra and Bhandara districts of Maharshtra accounts for more
than half of the forest area of the state. Tropical Decidous forests of Wainganga valley are the main
sources of timber and bamboo and support the paper industry at Ballarpur.
Dandakaranya region of the basin comprises of Godavari-Sabari plain in the south-west is drained by
the tributaries of the Godavari, chiefly Sabari and Sileru. This plain is also known as the Malkangiri
plateau and the Southern Plain is drained by the tributaries. The plateaus however are the dominant
7
Godavari Basin
landform of the region. The plateau topography is most evident in the Bastar region; right from
Jeypore ghat the long axis of Bastar Plateau stretches away for about 190 km at an elevation ranging
from 550 m-750 m to Keskal Ghat where an abrupt descent to the Kanker area is observed and
where the width of the plateau, approximately varies between 80 km and 130 km. The plateaus are
slightly dissected with the existenc of fretted scarps in the east and north due to the deep and
narrow cutting by the tributary systems. On the west it is highly dissected by the tributaries of the
Godavari including Indravati. The Kanker region, a southward extension of the Chhattisgarh plain,
crosses a few higher ridges of quartzites. The Bidar plateau part of Karnataka state falls in the basin.
The Central Godavari valley which is distinct for its faulted structure, thick forest cover and abundant
rainfall falls in Andhra Pradesh. The elevation variation in the basin is depicted in Map 3. Major area
falls under the 500-750 m elevation zone (Table 2). Basin is very rugged in the north-eastern part
and flat towards downstream side (Map 3). Slopes in the floodplains are very flat (0 to 3%) that is
causing inundation in the floodplains. (Report of the Irrigation Commission, 1972 Volume III)

1.3 Climate
The basin being fairly large, climatic contrasts particularly the variations in the amount of rainfall are
obvious. With a limited latitudinal extent and not so very pronounced vertical range of altitude, the
temperature conditions do not change significantly. Climate has assumed an important role in
landscape evolution. The Godavari basin has a tropical climate and the evaporation losses vary from
1800 to 2440 mm over different parts of the basin (Source: Reassessment of Water Resources
Potential of India, CWC 1999). The weather in the basin is cold from mid-October to mid-February
and the wetsren and the north-eastern part being colder than the rest of the basin. The weather is
comparatively hotter in the westernmost parts of the basin in comparison to the Central, northern
and eastern region.
The Dankaranya region in the basin lies within tropics is characterized by hot and humid climate.
Away from western ghats, particularly the crestline eastwards in the Maharashtra state a sudden
drop in the amount of rainfall has fostered aridity and the development of a general inselberg type
of landscape. Further east, the block-like flat interfluves gradually narrow down and finally disappear
giving broad alluvial plains covered with black soil. Proximity to the sea and higher amount of rainfall
have helped a quicker reduction of the land and the evolution of a lowland relief with a general
height of 150-250 m in the Wardha and Wainganga Plains.

South-west monsoon sets in by July and ends by September receiving maximum part of its annual
rainfall during it. The monsoon entering through the west and south-west coast of the basin meets
the Sahyadri Range sweeps across the interior of the peninsula. The crest zone of Sahyadri about 25
km wide is the belt of heaviest rainfall in the Maharashtra region. Regions falling in the rain shadow
area of the Sahyadri receive scanty rainfall. Further east, there is a progressive increase in the
amount of rainfall that changes the landscape and the cropping pattern in the eastern Maharashtra,
the Wardha-Wainganga sub-basins. The rainfall in the Dankaranya region of the basin
characteristically occurs between June and September. The rainfall, fairly heavy though irregular and
unevenly distributed, is mostly caused by the south-west monsoon.
Based on daily rainfall data (0.5 X 0.5 ) of the last 34 years (1971-2005) collected from IMD the
average annual variations in the basin is shown in Map 4. Annual rainfall of the basin varies from 755
mm to 1531 mm. The average annual rainfall in the basin is 1096.92 mm. It is found that the rainfall
varies temporally and spatially across the basin. In Godavari the high rainfall zone in the Western
Ghats the annual rainfall varies from 1000 to 3000 mm in this reach. There is a belt some distance
east of the Western Ghats experiencing less than 600 mm annual rainfall. After this area the rainfall
again gradually increases to about 900 mm towards the East coast. January and February are the
driest months in the basin with the annual rainfall ranging from less than 0.5 mm to 55 mm. During
the next three months, upto end of May, it varies from less than 1 mm to 50 mm. The maximum
rainfall recorded was 1531 mm in 1990 and minimum was 755 mm in 1952.

However, around 2733 blocks of 22 districts (3-Andhra Pradesh, 2-Madhya Pradesh, 2-Chhattisgarh,
1-Karnataka, & 14-Maharashtra) falling in the basin are drought prone (Source: Drought Prone Areas
Program, DPAP, MoRD, 2002).

1.3.2 Temperature
Daily temperature (maximum, minimum and mean) gridded data (1 x 1 ) for 36 years (1969-2004)
collected from IMD has been analysed (Annexure II-B). Mean temperature is calculated as the
average of maximum and minimum temperature. Annual maximum temperature varies from 31 C
to 33.5 C (1969-2004). Maximum and Minimum temperatures in the basin gradually increase as we
move from west to east. During January, which may be taken as a typical winter month, the mean
daily minimum temperature increases going from west to east; the mean daily maximum
temperature generally exceeds 30 C in the western part of the Godavari basin and is only slightly
less than 30 C in the eastern part. They are highest in April (39.14 C recorded in 1999), which is a
typical summer month. During July, this is a typical monsoon month, the minimum temperature
increases from 22 C in the Western Ghats to 24 C near the east coast and the maximum
temperature increases from 28 C in the Western Ghats to 34 C near the east coast. During
October, which is a typical post monsoon month, the minimum temperature is 19 C in most parts of
the basin though to increases to about 23 C near the coast. The mean daily maximum temperature
is a little above 39 C over the entire basin. During the last 36 years average annual maximum
temperature and the average annual minimum temperature recorded was 32.85 C in and 20.53 C,
respectively in the basin. The western margin of the plateau, being closer to the sea, is less
continental and presents a comparatively low annual range of temperature. Night temperatures are
the main elements which make the winters more severe in central and eastern part of Maharashtra.

Godavari Basin
Temperature profile chart of the basin (Figure 2) shows that in the cold weather, January month
records the lowest temperature (Mean Minimum Temperature-14.3°C) and May records the highest
temperature (Mean Maximum Temperature-39.9°C) in the hot weather for the period of 36 years.
(Annexure II B.)
1.3.3 Trends and variability
Rainfall is governed largely by the orography of the area, which lead to variations in the amount of
precipitation. The Godavari basin receives its maximum rainfall during the south-west monsoon. The
monsoon strike the west coast of the peninsula from the west and south-west, meet the Western
Ghats or Sahyadri range which present almost an uninterrupted barrier. Before surmounting this
barrier the currents deposit most of their moisture on its windward side, and then sweep across the
interior of the peninsula on a westerly course. In crossing the Ghats, the monsoon winds lose a large
part of their moisture. The monsoon currents follow the eastward slope of the country from the
crest of the ghats which form the watershed. Conditions in the interior are therefore somewhat
unfavorable for heavy precipitation except in association with the depressions from the Bay of
Bengal. The north-east part of Godavari basin also receives some rain in association with monsoon
depressions, which move west-north-west across the Odisha coast. January and February are almost
entirely dry in the Godavari basin, the rainfall during these two months being less and the next three
months, up to end of May, it varies from less than 1 mm to 50 mm in most parts of the basin. The
actual rainfall varies widely from year to year. There are also variations in the incidence and
distribution of rainfall in time and space. Mean Daily evaporation varies from about 5 mm near
coastal region to 16.6 mm in upper region (Source: Integrated Hydrological Data Book, 2012).
Figure 3. Trend of annual average rainfall (1971-2004)

Godavari Basin
Looking at the histogram for average annual rainfall data for over past 34 years, there is an
increasing trend of rainfall since 1971 (Figure 3). Year 1990 shows highest average annual rainfall of
approximately 1531 mm of precipitation in the basin whereas 1972 data shows least of 755 mm
rainfall in past 34 years. (Annexure II A)
1.4 Major rivers
The Godavari is the biggest of the east-flowing rivers of the peninsular India and the second largest
river draining in India. Godavari river originates near Trimbakeshwar near disrtict Nashik, northeast
of Mumbai in the state of Maharashtra at an elevation of 1067 m and flows for a length of about
1465 km, in a generally south-east direction before joining the Bay of Bengal. It flows through the
Eastern Ghats and emerges out of Polavaram into the plains. At Dhawaleswaram the river divides
into two branches, the Gautami and Vasishta. Between the two lies the Godavari Central delta. The
Pravara, the Manjra are the main tributaries joining on the right bank of the river and the Purna, the
Pranhita, the Indravati, the Sabari are the main tributaries joining on the left bank.
The Pravara rises in the Western Ghats flowing in an easterly direction falls into the Godavari with
its drainage area falling entirely in Maharashtra.
The Purna rises in the Ajanta Range of hills flowing in a south-easterly direction joins the Godavari.
Of its tributaries, the longest is the Dudna. The chief tributaries of the Purna on the south bank are
the Pendhi, Uma, Katepurna, Nirguna and Man.
The Manjra rises in the Balaghat Range of hills flowing in a general east-south-east direction. The
principal tributaries of the Manjra are the Tirna, the Karanga and the Haldi joining it from right and
the Lendi and the Maner which join from the left.
The Pranhita is the largest tributary of the Godavari.It conveys the combined waters of the
Penganga, the Wardha and the Wainganga and below its confluence with the Manjira it falls into
Godavari.
The Indravati rises on the western slopes of Eastern Ghats in the Kalahandi district, flows through
the central part of the Dankaranya region, with its catchment in Madhya Pradesh and Odisha rises at
an altitude of 915 m, joins the river Godavari. Its important tributaries are the Narangi, the Boardhig,
the Kotari, the Nibra and the Bandia on the right and the Nandiraj and the Dantewara on the left.
The Kolab rises at an altitude of 1372 m in the Sinkaram hill ranges of the Eastern Ghats, drains the
southern uplands of the Dandakaranya region. The Machkund or Sileru, a major tributory of tha
Sabari rises at an altitude of 1220 m joins above the confluence of Kolab and Godavari. The Kanger
and Malengar are the two other important tributaries of the Sabari.

The drainage network presents an ideal dendritic pattern, a result of uniform lithology and
inadequate structural control. The rivers are graded almost to their source; the grading, however, is
not related to sea-level but to the crystalline girdle around the basaltic plateau; the former being
relatively more resistant, exercises a virtual base level control. In the Sahyadrian region the drainage
network is fairly closely spaced, tributary development is retarded in semi-arid eastern part, the
reason why flat inerfluves are still preserved. The accumulated discharge in the lower parts of the
principal streams and their main tributaries on their graded profile has led to the coalescence of the
flood plains, and the formation of large alluvial tracts (Singh, 1971).
1.5 Land use/land cover
Land use pattern is a fairly useful indicator in understanding the environmental set up, socio-
economic status, infrastructural facilities and climatic conditions of an area. The basin holds a variety
of land cover and land use classes. The distribution of land use/land cover in Godavari basin during
2005-06 is given in Map 5 . It is found that nearly 22 land use/land cover classes exist in the basin.
Major part (59.57%) of the basin is covered with agricultural land. Forest area is about 29.78% and
water bodies occupy 2.06% of the total basin area (Table 4). The north-eastern part of the basin is
particularly rich in forests with deciduous forest covering 26.16% of the total basin area. The other
main categories of land use/land cover in the basin are fallow land, Scrub land, Scrub forest,
river/stream/canal, rural, urban mining, swamp/mangrove, etc (Landuse landcover Atlas of India,
NRSC, 2011).

The drier and hotter Malkangiri plateau and the adjoining area the moist deciduous species are
replaced by drier teak forests. In the Dankaranya region of the basin owing to difficult terrain,
extensive forest cover, shallow soil, the net sown area is very low. Agriculture here is almost totally
dependent on rainfall. The mosit deciduous forests stretch along the north-easern border of the
region occupying parts of Adilabad, Karimnagar, Warangal, Khammam, West Godavari and East
Godavari districts where the amount of normal rainfall exceeds 100 cm. Irrigation facilities have
encouraged the cultivation of wheat, sugarcane, in certain pockets, though millets, largely jowar and
Bajra, remain the principal crops in Maharastra.The settlements in the valley have followed the
water courses and are located on the terraces at a safe distance from flood waters (Singh, 1971).

1.6 Soils
Soil is composed of minerals, mixed with some organic matter, which differ from its parent
materials in terms of its texture, structure, consistency, color, chemical, biological and other
characteristics. Information on the soil profile is also required for simulating the hydrological
character of the basin. Map 6 to Map 9 shows the main soil classification based on soil texture, soil
erosion, soil slope and soil productivity in the basin, respectively (National Bureau of Soil Survey and
Land Use Planning). About 68.10 % falls under Moderately shallow to deep (>50 cm) followed by
16.65% Very Shallow (10-25 cm) based on the depth of the soil groups. Based on texture major part
falls under fine texture category (57.61%), with rocky and water bodies accounting for the minimum
of 2.04%. Soil erosion is moderate in more than 64.92% of the basin area with severe erosion in
24.86% of the basin area and slight in area falling near the Bay of Bengal. Soil productivity ranges
from highly productive to non-productive area i.e., 28.5% and 11.15% of the basin area respectively.
The important soil types found in the basins are black soils, red soils, lateritic soils, alluvium, mixed
soils and saline and alkaline soils.
The characteristiics and the distribution of the soils are influenced essentially by the nature and
intensity of weathering and the mode and rapidity of fluvial transport on the plateau. Much of the
plateau region of the basin carries different shades, and thickness of black soil generally rcognized as
black cotton soil or regur. Genetically, the black soils range between a residual soil with a mature
profile and the river-borne alluvium of the flood plains to which a large amount of colluvium is also
contributed, particularly on the margins of the river valleys where it is likely to interfinger with
alluvium. In higher rainfall area, the chemical decay of trap rocks gives rise to red clay, so typical of
Sahyadrian zone, noticed on bare mountain slopes and seen in the muddy ochre-color flood waters
of the tributaries. The soils in the valleys are darker, deeper and more fertile. While the deep black
soils are confined to the valleys, the medium black soils, the most widespread in the region, occur on
the interfluves and the light black soils are found on the hill slopes in less rainy area. The Lateritic
soils arer poor in organic matter with a varying pH range of 5.5 to 6.5 often covered with forests or
orcahrds. Major part of arable land in Eastern Ghats contains mixed red and black soils deficient in
humus, nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potash and lime. Extremely porous and generally sedentary type
of soils are formed through the weathering of metamorphic rocks, eg., schists and gneisses, and are
generally deficient in plant nutrients with low pH value. They are generally red with patches of grey
color, being too shallow with very little clay content. The problem of soil erosion is quite serious in
certain areas, particularly in the eastern ghats and the Bastar plateau. The alluvial soils are
transported soils and have been deposited with alternate layers of sand and silt. The older alluvium
has a more clayey texture and dark color as compared to the recent alluvium of sandy texture and
lighter color (Singh, 1971).

1.7 Agro-climatic zones
India present a large number of complex agro climatic situations. The planning commission after
examining the earlier studied at the regionalisation of the agricultural economy has recommended
that agricultural planning to be done on the basis of agro-climatic regions. An agro-climatic zone is a
land unit in terms of major climate and growing period which is climatically suitable foa a certain
range of crops and cultivators. The basin falls in five Agro-Climatic Zone shown in Map 10, viz.,
Central plateau and hills region, Western plateau and hills region, Eastern plateau and hills region,
Southern plateau and hills region and East coast plains and hills region (Agro-climatic Zones,
Planning Commission, 1989).

1.8 Agro-ecological zones
An agro-ecological region is the land unit carved out of agro-climatic region when it is superimposed
on landform and kinds of soils and soil conditions that act as modifiers of climate and LGP (Sehgal et
al., 1992). The basin falls in six agro-ecological zones. (Map 11)
Hot subhumid ecoregion with red and black soils covers part of Malwa plateau and Bundelkhand
uplands, including Baghelkhand Plateau, Narmada Valley, Vindhyan scarplands and northern fringe
of Maharashtra plateau, encompassing some districts of Madhya Pradesh and northern
Maharashtra. The climate of the region is characterized by hot summers and mild winters.
Hot Subhumid ecoregion with red and yellow soils comprise eastern plateau which covers
Chhattisgarh region and southwest highlands of Bihar state. The climate of the area is characterized
by hot summers and cool winters.
Hot subhimid ecoregion with red and lateritic soils constitutes Chhotanagpur plateau of Bihar,
western parts of West Bengal, eastern ghats of Odisha and Bastar region of Chhattisgarh. The
climate of the region is characterized by hot summers and cool winters.
Hot semi-arid ecoregion with shallow and medium (with inclusion of deep) black soils covers the
Deccan plateau, comprising most of the central and western parts of Maharashtra, parts of
Karnataka and western parts of Andhra Pradesh. The climate of the region is characterized by hot
and humid summers and mild and dry winters.
Hot semi-arid ecoregion with red and black soils covers parts of the Deccan Plateau and major parts
of eastern ghats of Andhra Pradesh. The climate of the area is characterized by hot and moist
summers and mild and dry winters.
Hot subhumid to semi arid ecoregion with coastal alluvium derived soils comprises the south-
eastern coastal plain, extending from Kanyakumari to Gangetic Delta.

1.9 Demography
Demographics are the quantifiable statistics of a given population. On the basis of the 2001 census,
and the percentage of each district, within the basin, the total population in the basin works out to
about 60.48 million. The district-wise population density in the basin is shown in Map 12. The
population density ranges from 25-50 persons per Sq. km to 500-1000 persons per Sq. km. East
Godavari, West Godavari, Nagpur, Pune, Rangareddy and Visakhapattnam districts have higher
population density as compared to the other districts of this Basin. Nagpur is the most important
urban centre in the basin. Other important towns are Nasik, Aurangabad, Warangal, Rajahmundry,
Akola, Amravati, and Ahmednagar. The industrial potential of the Godavari basin is high. There are
more than 441 towns, 58072 settlements and 33 cities in the basin. There are six airports falling in
the basin.
The un-uniform distribution is resource oriented varying with the productivity of the land and the
degree of development. In some areas, urbanization has been a factor in increasing the overall
density. The rural population density therefore does not always accord with the gross density. The
Wadha-Wainganga sub-basins on the east and the slopes of Satpura on the North, with this soils and
extensive forest cover, area less populous areas. The Dankaranya region of the basin has quite
sparsely distributed population. The population of the region is concentrated in plains, low lands and
isolated basins which have the coincidence of good soil cover and water. Dantewada, Kanker, Bastar
districts and the Sabari plains, and Indravati plains are least populated parts in the basin.
Vishakhapatnam, East Godavari, and West Godavari districts of Andhra Pradesh exhibit fairly high
concentration owing to relatively level topography. A small part of the enormous forest wealth of
the basin is at present utilized as timber and in the manufacture of paper and other timber products.
Industries based on agricultural produce are the processing of agricultural commodities like rice
milling, cotton ginning, processing, spinning and weaving, manufacture of sugar, manufacture of
textiles, extraction of oil from groundnut and other oil seeds. Godavari basin has a rich variety of
mineral wealth spread over vast areas. The principal minerals found are bauxite, manganese, iron
ore and coal. Other minerals like lead, zinc, corundum, refractory minerals and kaolin are also found
in small quantities in different parts of the basin. Mining of coal, manganese and other ores are
important activity in the districts rich in minerals. Most of the ores are at present being exported.
Small engineering industries are spread all over the area. The basin spreads over 55 parliamentary
constituencies (2009), comprising 25 of Maharashtra, 18 of Andhra Pradesh, 4 of Madhya Pradesh, 3
each of Chhattisgarh and Odisha and 1 each of Karnataka and Puducherry. Detail of state, district
and parliamentary constituency and the percentage area falling in the basin is given in Annexure I.
Sub-basin wise no. of districts, no. of villages, total population, Male population, Female population,
no. of households has been given in Annexure III-A. Sub-basin wise drinking water facilities (Wells,
Tubewells, Handpumps) also has been given in the Annexure III-B.

2. Hydrological units
2.1 Sub-basins
Hydrological unit wise assessment of water resources is a prerequisite for its proper management as
it is fast becoming scarce in India. Semi-automated approach for delineation of hydrological units
(basin, sub-basin and watershed) uses SRTM DEM, topo maps on 1:50K, IRS P6 LISS-IV & CARTOSAT-
1 merged data, drainage network, surface water bodies, rail/road network and other ancillary data.
Drainage divides from contour/ridge lines are used to demarcate the boundary of hydrological units.
The divide has been marked where flow is in opposite directions. Knowledge of terrain as well as
DEM is essential for accurate demarcation of boundary. Hydrological boundary has been validated
with reference to contours and drainage network. Hydrological unit boundary cuts perpendicular to
the contour lines but it does not cross the drainage line at any location except its outlet. This
approach is potentially more objective, repeatable, and cost-effective.
The Godavari basin is divided into 8 sub-basins (Map 13a to Map 13h), each of which represents a
different tributary system. The area distribution of the each sub-basin is shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Sub-basins and per cent drainage area
30
Godavari Basin
The Dudhana, Kapra, Sindphana and Siddha rivers originate in Godavari Middle Sub Basin. The
Kadva, Pravara, Shivna, Mula and Godavari rivers originate in Godavari Upper Sub Basin. The
Penganga, Kayadhu, Arunavati, Aran, Wardha, Vena and Yashoda rivers originate in Wardha Sub
Basin.
2.2 Watersheds
Sub-basins could be sub divided into smaller hydrological units namely, watershed for water
resources management at larger scale. Watershed is a natural hydrological entity that covers a
specific areal expanse of land surface from which rainfall flows to a defined drain, channel, stream or
river at any particular point. Watershed should be delineated purely on the basis of hydrological
principles. Size of the watershed is governed by the size of stream and its boundaries.
Eight sub-basins have been further clustered into 466 watersheds each of which represents a
different tributary system for size ranging from 304 Sq. km to 993 Sq. km with maximum number of
watersheds falling in Weinganga sub-basin. Number of watersheds and the range of size for the sub-
basins are given in Table 5. The distribution of watersheds over the 8 sub-basins of Godavari basin
has been shown in Map 13a - Map 13h.
Each watershed is given an 8 digit alphanumeric code for identification. Each letter in the code has a
description. For example if Watershed code is C03GDU01, the first alphabet (C03GDU01) stands for
the Water resource region (India-WRIS). Following 2 digits represents basin code (C03GDU01). Next
three letters (C03GDU01) represents sub-basin name which is followed by watershed number
(C03GDU01).

3. Surface water resources

3.1 Surface waterbodies
Surface waterbodies are stored in the form of lakes, ponds, reservoirs, tanks, etc. Surface water
bodies have played an important role by way of irrigation, drinking water supply, ecology, tourism
and domestic uses. A large scale inventory of surface water bodies in Godavari basin shows 19146
numbers. Type wise coverage of the different waterbodies in the basin is shown in the Figure 5.
There are reportedly 870 major reservoirs in the basin. Some large reservoirs of this basin are
Jayakwadi, Sriramsagar, Balimela, Yeldari, Singur, Pench, Isapur, Upper Kolab, Indrawati, and Nizam
Sagar. Most of the water bodies have a size range of 0-25 ha whereas 29 big water bodies are there
covering an area of more than 2500 ha (Table 6).

3.2 Water resource projects
Water resources projects in the basin include Irrigation projects, Hydro Electric projects and
Extension, Renovation and Modernisation projects. Nearly 286 major / medium irrigation projects
are there in the river basin. Sriram Sagar Stage I (Pochampad), Ghopewara Upsa Sinchai Yojana,
Jayakwadi (Pathan) Project, Godavari Delta, Sripad Sagar (Yellampalli), Pench Project, Jayakwadi
(Manjal Gaon) Project, Potteru (Central), Purna Project, and Godavari Upper Canal are some of the
major commands in the basin. The number of the water resources projects is listed in table 7.

3.2.1 Major and medium irrigation projects
The dependable yield for the basin is utilized under number of major, medium and minor irrigation
projects of the basin. Irrigation is being carried out in the area under these projects viz., dams,
barrages, diversion structures and other lift irrigation systems.
Prior to independence only a few irrigation projects were constructed in Godavari basin. Important
among these are Godavari delta system (with Dowlaiswaram weir as head works). After
independence, under various five-year plans a large number of multi-purpose and irrigation projects
have been taken up.
There are 61 major & medium irrigation projects in Andhra Pradesh, 3 in Chhattigarh, 2 in Karnataka,
22 in Madhya Pradesh, 191 in Maharashtra, and 4 in Odisha (Annexure IV-C). A number of interstate
agreements exist among basin states on sharing of water of the basin. Details of some of the major
irrigation projects in the basin are given below:

3.2.3 Dams, Barrages/Weirs/Anicuts
Water resources structures are manmade structures to store the water for hydropower, irrigation,
drinking water supply, etc. The number of dams constructed in Godavari basin is the highest among
all the river basins in India. Sub-basin wise the distribution of these structures is mentioned in Table
8. There are 921 Dams in Godavari basin basin among which maximum numbers of dams are in
Wardha Sub Basin. Major dams in the basin are Sriramsagar (SRSP)/Pochampad dam, Gosikhurd
dam, and Jayakwadi dam. The longest dam in the basin is Sriramsagar (SRSP)/Pochampad dam in
Nizamabad district of Andhra Pradesh after the confluence of Manjra river with Godavari with a total
length of 15.6 kms and 2555 MCM live storage capacity. Bandardhara Dam, the highest in the basin
is located in Ahmadnagar district of Maharashtra on river Pravara with a height of 82.35 meters.
Kochi barrage, Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage/Godavari Barrage, Madan weir, Chulband Barrage and
Dhuti weir are some of the major diversion and storage structures in the basin (Map 14). Majority of
dams (82.58%) have a storage capacity of 0-25 MCM (Figure 6). Around 94.5% dams constructed in
the basin are used for the purpose of irrigation (Figure 7). So far nearby 968 Nos. of structure
(Dams/Barrage/Weir/Anicuts) is constructed providing irrigation, diversion, storage purpose and
other facilities in the basin. Information for the water resources structures in the basin with other

3.2.4 Command area and canal network
The water is to be transported across landscape to deliver the water to the respective command
areas for irrigation in the basin. This practice is done using canals, man-made channels for
conveyance of water. For the same construction of various irrigation structures are necessary to
negotiate terrain including drains, road, and rail lines. These important irrigation structures are
Regulators, Bridge, Aqueduct / Syphon Aqueduct, Super passage / Syphon, Level crossing / Inlets and
Outlets, and Other Cross drainage Structures. Regulators control the supply to an off taking channel
from the parent channel.
Some of the major commands covering the basin are Sriram Sagar Stage I, Jayakwadi (Pathan)
Project, Godavari Delta, Sripad Sagar and Pench Project. Important medium commands in the basin
are Narangi Project, Ralivagu, Tembhapuri Project, Manjralift, Bagh RBC, and Lower Godavari
(Vishnupuri) Project (Map 16). M ain AIBP projects falling under the basin are Upper Kolab, Upper
Penganga, Upper Wardha, Gosi Khurd, Sriram Sagar Stage I (Pochampad) and Upper Wainganga.
A study was carried out jointly by CWC & ISRO to assess the existing status of the irrigation
commands. IRS P4 LISS III data of two different seasons namely, pre monsoon (2005) and post
monsoon (2004) were used for delineation of waterlogged and salt affected areas of major and
medium irrigation commands of Godavari basin. Total waterlogged area within these occupies
829.72 Sq. km whereas salt affected area has been extended to 183.78 Sq. km.

A number of interstate agreements exist among basin states on sharing of water of the basin. There
are two interstate hydroelectric projects in the basin, namely Machkund Hydroelectric Project
between Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, and Pench Hydroelectric Project between Madhya Pradesh
and Maharashtra. Eight irrigation projects in the basin are interstate namely, Lendi Interstate Project
(Andhra Pradesh & Maharashtra), Bawanthadi Interstate Project (Maharashtra & Madhya Pradesh),
Bagh Interstate Project (Madhya Pradesh & Maharashtra), Kalisarar Interstate Project (Madhya
Pradesh & Maharashtra).

4. Ground water resources

4.1 Ground water observation wells
Ground water level data is temporal and dynamic in nature. It is mainly controlled by rainfall pattern
in relation to the aquifer material. A large part of agricultural irrigation depends on ground water
availability. The Central Ground Water Board has explored aquifers in various States/UTs under its
scientific exploratory drilling programmes by utilizing latest studies and technologies which includes
remote sensing and geophysical techniques. The Board is monitoring the ground water levels in the
country, four times a year (Jan/May/Aug/Nov) through a network of Ground Water Observation
Wells.
In the basin 1875 observation wells are there to assess the ground water potential in different
hydrogeological set up. Priority was accorded to drought affected and tribal areas, hard rock areas,
pollution affected areas, etc. Godavari Upper Sub Basin comprises of the least number of
observation wells (93), with the maximum (346) in Wardha Sub Basin (Table 9). The distribution of
observation wells is quite uniform across the basin (Map 17).

4.2 Ground water level fluctuation
The occurrence of ground water generally depends upon the rainfall, drainage, topography and the
geological conditions of the area. Ground water fluctuation in the Godavari basin is assessed for
recharge and draft conditions based on the available groundwater level in four different seasons.
Water level data have been grouped according to four seasons viz. post-monsoon rabi (January to
March), pre-monsoon (April to June), Monsoon (July to September) and post-monsoon kharif
(October to December). Variation of pre and post-monsoon water level along with water level
fluctuation due to monsoon recharge and draft for Rabi crops has been studied.
There is notable fluctuation in the ground water level of the basin based upon pre and post
monsoon season (2011). There is significant ground water level recharge (rise>4 m bgl) after the
ending of monsoon season in parts of Latur, Nanded, Washim, Ahmadnagar, Rajnandgaon, and
Chindwara districts in the basin. While in the upper and western part of the basin noticed a fall of 2-
4 m and at areas in Bid, and Jalna districts more than 4 m in the ground water level due to draft.
Interpolated maps for groundwater recharge and irrigation draft (rabi) are prepared based on the
available groundwater fluctuation data in the basin for the year 2011. Fluctuation due to recharge
and fluctuation due to draft in the basin is shown in Map 19 and Map 20, respectively.

4.3 Litholog well locations
An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials

(gravel, sand, or silt) from which groundwater can be extracted using a dug well or borewell. Related
terms include aquitard, which is a bed of low permeability along an aquifer and aquiclude (or
aquifuge), which is a solid, impermeable area underlying or overlying an aquifer. If the impermeable
layer overlies the aquifer layer, pressure could cause it to become a confined aquifer. Aquifers may
occur at various depths. Those closer to the surface are not only more likely to be used for water
supply and irrigation, but are also more likely to be tapped up by the local rainfall. Alluvium,
sandstone, loose sand/gravel etc are the betteraquifer material. In hardrock areas,
fracture/lineament plays an important role in identifying groundwater potential areas. The
information on the aquifer material, depth and thickness of the aquifer layers in a basin can be
analysed based on the available lithlog information.
The CGWB undertakes geophysical studies as an integral part of its activities to support and
supplement ground water management studies, ground water exploration and shortterm water
supply investigations to demarcate bedrock configuration and thickness of overburden, saline -fresh
water interface etc. The litholog data is available for 27 exploratory wells (Map 20), located in the
basin. Inventory of litholog well locations in the basin is given in Annexure-V.
The upper reaches of the basin and the area forming Pravara and Purna sub-basins mainly comprise
Basalts which form part of the Deccan trap. The Deccan traps, not being porous are incapable of
holding or transmitting water in their primary stage. The basaltic lava, however, developed a
vesicular character on the top layer due to escaping of steam and gas. Similarly the cooling lava had
produced hexagonal joint systems in hard flows. Such vesicular and jointed lava became important
water bearing formations (India A Regional Geography, 1971). In the area forming Manjra sub-basin,
the main geological rock formations are the peninsular granites, the Puranas and the Gondwanas.
The presence of zeolites in the cavities of rock and moorum indicate abundant water circulation. The
groundwater occurs under both the confined and unconfined conditions. The main geological rock
formations found in the middle reaches of Godavari basin and the area forming Maner sub-basin are
the peninsular granites, Puranas, Dharwars and Gondwanas. The hydro geological studies in the area
indicate that the groundwater occurs under confined conditions in joints, fissures, fractures and
crevices extending to deeper levels beneath the weathered zone. In the peninsular gneiss and
Gondwanas, the groundwater occurs in unconfined conditions, where the yields are higher. The area
comprising Penganga, Wardha and Pranhita sub-basins forms part of the peninsular shield area
composed of the Archaean formation. The hydro geological studies indicate that the groundwater
occurs in the Vindhyan groups, Gondwanas, Deccan traps, laterites and alluvium, in the soil cover,
weathered mantle and in the highly jointed and fractured zones of the hard rock. The lower reaches
of Godavari basin, and the areas comprising Indravati and Sabari sub-basins, geologically form part
of the great Archaean Peninsular shield. Ground water occurs in the weathered, fractured, sheared
zones and also along the schistose planes of gneiss, schists and granites of the area. Groundwater
also occurs in confined conditions, in the areas occupied by calcareous formation and the
argillaceous and areanaceous members of the Lower Gondwanas age. Alluvium of the area by virtue
of its high porosity and permeability acts as potential aquifer. (Report of the Irrigation Commission,
1972 Volume III)

5. Hydro-met observations
Designing and execution of water resources projects and river management requires time series
data on hydrological aspects. River management being one of the key issues for political and
economical affairs of the country, Central Water Commisiion (CWC) collects and process the basic
hydrological data on gauge, discharge, silt, and sedimentation and water quality. The hydrological
observation stations of CWC on a regular basis monitor the parameters and transmit this
information to CWC regional offices, which is then documented in the form of Water Year Book,
Sediment Year Book and Water Quality Year Book.
Hydro-meteorological observations in the basin are carried out by the Central and State
Governments. The Godavari Circle is functioning with it’s headquarter at Hyderabad under the
Administrative Control of Superintending Engineer, Godavari Circle, KGBO, CWC, Hyderabad. The
Circle comprises of two Divisions viz., Upper Godavari Division and Lower Godavari Division at
Hyderabad and their 7 Sub Divisions (including a Mechanical Sub Division at Hyderabad) for
managing the works at Hydrological Observation Sites and Wireless Stations. There are 18 Flood
Forecasting Stations in Godavari Basin and 88 CWC Hydrological Observation (HO) sites (Map 21).
5.1 Hydrological observation sites
Various hydrological observation parameters as gauge (river water level), discharge (amount of
water released from a cross section in the river in a given time period), sediment (Concentration of
solid particles in water) and quality are measured in the observing stations of CWC (Central Water
Commission). RF stands for rainfall measuring station. At present 88 hydrological observation
stations are there in the Basin (Table 10). Salient features of hydro-observation stations are listed in
Annexure – VI.

5.2 Flood forecasting sites
Central Water Commission has set up a network of flood forecasting stations covering all important
flood prone rivers. Information on parameters such as highest flood level, year of highest flood level,
warning level and danger level is monitored in these flood forecasting stations. Two kinds of
forecasts are issued based on the utility of the forecast. Inflow forecasts assist in reservoir regulation
66
Godavari Basin
(full reservoir level & maximum water level) and the level forecast is used for predicting water level
(warning level & danger level) well ahead of its occurrence.
Table 12. Types of flood forecasting stations of CWC
Sl. No. Station Type Number of Stations

1 Level Forecast 14
2 Inflow Forecast 4
The distribution of the stations across the basin is shown in Map 21. Flood forecasting activity in
Godavari Basin started in 1974 with the opening of a Division office of Central Water Commission at
Pochampad (Sriramsagar Dam). Real time data from Telemetry is also additionally being used for
flood forecasting purpose from the year 2009 onwards. Wireless sets have been installed at 59
stations for communication of river gauge and flow data on real time basis for flood forecast
purpose. There are 18 flood forecasting stations in Godavari Basin, out of which 4 are flood inflow
stations (Reservoirs) and 14 are flood level stations (river forecast stations) controlled by 3 Control
Rooms and 24x7 schedule (Table 11). The stations transmit hourly water level and rainfall every
fifteen minutes.
Two modeling centers at Bhadrachalam and Hyderabad are also functioning in Godavari Basin.
Reservoir inflow forecasts help in reservoir regulation. In Godavari basin, embankments have been
constructed to prevent the flooding of deltaic areas. However, considerably long reaches of the river
upstream of the delta are vulnerable to floods. Scientific flood forecasting and advance warning has
been found to be extremely beneficial to reduce the flood damages in these reaches. The parts of
the basin lying in Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and Karnataka have generally no serious flood problems.
5.3 Meteorological stations
There are 3 main organizations in our country which records meteorological parameters viz., India
Meteorological Department (IMD), Central Water Commission (CWC) and ISRO (Automatic Weather
Stations). IMD stations measure data of monthly average precipitation and potential
evapotranspiration, average annual rainfall and potential evapotranspiration for 10 years. In
addition IMD sites also measures weekly data of rainfall, maximum and minimum temperature, wind
speed, evaporation and sunshine hours. CWC stations also measure parameters related to climate.
Measuring meteorological parameter using Automated Weather Station (AWS) is helpful in the
remote region. In the basin total meteorological stations and there monitoring organization is listed
in Table 12.

6. Water quality
6.1 Surface water quality observations
CWC stations carry out observations for testing the surface water quality pertaining to 68 water
quality parameters which are considered to be the ‘Standard Hydrology Project Water Quality
Parameters’. All physical, chemical and biological water quality parameters are categorized further
under sub categories like field determinations, nutrients, organic matter, alkalinity, hardness, other
inorganics, major ions, coliforms and others. Water Quality observations are taken at 20 Surface
water quality observation sites of CWC. There is one Type II Lab near Satrapur observation site in
Weinganga sub-basin.
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has fixed tolerance limits of water quality in Indian context
following the tolerance limits of WHO. The Bureau of India Standards has identified 42 water quality
parameters and fixed tolerance limit for each parameters. The Godavari basins have reported
tolerance limit for 33 water quality parameters. The critical absolute values of water quality
parameters for Godavari basin have crossed tolerance limit throughout the year. (Integrated
Hydrological Data Book, 2012)
6.2 Ground water quality observations
A large part of India's irrigated agricultural and domestic needs depend upon ground water
availability and its quality which is very crucial for healthy life of individual. Groundwater monitoring
system in the Godavari Basin recordings are done in 401 observation wells. The main parameters
monitored includes values for Magnesium, pH, Nitrate, Potassium, Sulphate, Electrical Conductivity
(EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Calcium, Sodium, Carbonate, Bicarbonate, Chloride, Fluoride,
Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR) and Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC).
Concentrations above permissible limits of TDS, pH, and Mg have been recorded in the Godavari
Upper Sub-Basin. NO3 and pH concentrations above permissible limits have been recorded in the
Godavari Lower Sub-Basin. Pranhita Sub-basin shows at places, high value for NO3, F and pH. Data
obtained showed a different distribution of nutrient concentrations, induced by the local conditions:
presence of point emission sources, structural and functional particularities of the adjacent
ecological systems.
The water quality of river Godavari in respect of BOD does not meet the criteria in Maharashtra at all
locations due to proximity of large cities. In Andhra Pradesh water quality of mainstream of Godavari
is exceeding the criteria limit with respect to BOD at Godavarikhani, Mancherial B/c to Raghavallu,
Ramagundam U/s & D/s, Burgampahad, Mancherial and Bhadrachalam. The sources of pollution are
domestic and industrial wastewater from the large cities in Maharashtra and Mancherial,
Ramgundam, Rajahmundry, Godavarikhani, Burgampahad and Bhadrachalam cities in Andhra
Pradesh. Depletion of dissolved oxygen has been reported due to addition of sewage into the river
besides bacteriological pollution. (Source: Status of Water Quality in India- 2009)

7. Inter-basin transfer links

Inter-basin transfer link proposes river water transfer from the region of surplus to deficit areas. This
may provide an effective ways to enhance irrigation potential, to mitigate floods and droughts and
reduce regional imbalance by way of additional irrigation, domestic and industrial water supply,
hydropower generation, navigational facilities etc. The National Water Development Agency has
been carrying out studies of National Perspective Plan for water resources development. The
proposal comprises of two components, namely: (a) 16 Peninsular Rivers Development Component
and (b) 14 Himalayan Rivers Development Component. Under Peninsular Component there are 4
proposed Inter-basin Transfer links in the basin (Map 22).
The Inchampalli-Nagarjunasagar Link will transfer 16426 Mcum of water from Godavari Basin to
Krishna Basin to irrigate 2.87 lakh Ha in Andhra Pradesh. Total lengthof Link Canal is about 299 km
that includes 9 km long tunnel.
The Inchampalli–Pulichintala Link envisages diversion of 4370 Mcumwater from Mahanadi and
Godavari Basins to Krishna Basin to irrigate 613442 ha in Andhra Pradesh. The Length of link canal is
about 312 km including 12.50 km long tunnel.
Polavaram-Vijaywada Link proposes to transfer 5325 Mcum of water from the Right Bank of
Godavari at the proposed Polavaram reservoir up to existing Prakasam Barrage on Krishna river at
Vijayawada to irrigate about 5.82 lakh Ha in Andhra Pradesh. Total length of link canal is about 174
km.
A quantum of 12165 Mcum is proposed for diversion through the Mahanadi Godavari Link taking off
at Manibhadra reservoir on Mahanadi to Dowlaiswaram Barrage on Godavari to irrigate 4.43 lakh Ha
(0.91 lakh Ha in Andhra Pradesh and 3.52 lakh Ha in Orissa). The total length of the link canal is
about 828 km including 6.15 km long tunnel.

8. Inland navigation waterways

Inland Water Transport (IWT) is a fuel efficient, environment friendly and cost effective mode of
transport. Navigable inland waterways in India, comprising of river systems, canals, backwaters,
creeks and tidal inlets extends to about 14500 km. At present about 5200 km of major rivers and 485
km of canals are suitable for mechanized crafts. The total cargo moved by IWT is about 16 million
tonnes which is very less as compared to the total cargo movement by road and rail. Geodatabase
has been prepared for the 192 published inland navigational maps for three National Waterways
(NW-1, NW-2 and NW-3) in accordance with Section 14(2) (c) of the Inland Waterways Authority of
India Act, 1985 (82 of 1985). Other three proposed Inland waterways (NW-4, NW-5 and NW-6) are
mapped by the Inland Waterways Authority of India.
The Godavari river is a major waterway in central India. The Kakinada-Puducherry Canals system
along with Godavari and Krishna rivers i.e., the National Waterway-4 falls in Godavari Basin (Map
23). Total length of NW-4 is 1095 km. The total length of the canal stretch is 767 Km, out of which
171 km is along the Godavari river stretch between Bhadrachalam and Rajhamundry. The Krishna
river stretch is 157 km between Wazirabad and Vijaywada. This waterway has 328 km as river
portion, 302 km as irrigation canals and 397 km as salt water canals.
A network of irrigation cum navigation canal linking Chennai and Ennore Ports in Tamil Nadu with
the Kakinada Port, and Machlipatnam Ports in Andhra Pradesh runs through a distance of 618 kms.
The Kakinad canal and Eluru canal and Commamur canal which are irrigation cum navigation canal
also interlink the two major river systems of Godavari and Krishna. The Buckingham canal which
interlinks the Commamur canal with Chennai port runs through a distance of 315 Km is tidal. Further
integrated canal also connect the Chennai city with the Mercunam through the south Buckingham
canal and Cooum river runs through a distance of 103 kms. In view of the port hinterland
connection, interstate and inter city traffic potential and the historic data on IWT movement,
development of this waterway into an efficient IWT system is envisaged during the 9th Five Year
Plan.
Transport of about 11 million tonne per annum (Coal on Godavari river, Cement on Krishna river,
Rice in both Krishna and Godavari) is reported. In this canal waterway, the major commodities used
to be transported were coal, rice, food grains, cement, salt, sand, forest products, paddy, pulse,
building materials and other bulk cargo etc. by country crafts of 30 to 40 tonnes capacity.
Marina beach, Adyar, Muthukadu, Kalpakkam (Ediyuru), Palar, Paramankani Kuppam and Markanam

9. Water tourism sites

Godavari basin hosts a rich environment for water tourism sites. Chitrakoot Waterfall, Pochera
Waterfall, Kuntala Waterfall are other waterfalls in the basin. The Dumduma Falls on the river
Machhakunda is one of the most popular tourist spot in Odisha. The Dumduma Falls is also known as
the Matsya Tirtha and it is the site of the famous Machhakund Hydro-Electric Project. The Tirathgarh
Waterfall, 32 kms from Jagdalpur is famous for waterfall that drops into Mugabahar river. Kuntala
Waterfall is the highest waterfall of Andhra Pradesh. In the basin there are fourteen famous
pilgrimage (temple) sites, one in Chhattisgarh, one in Puducherry and the rest in Maharashtra and
Andhra Pradesh. Shirdi, Antravedi, Bhadrachalam, Trimbakeshwar, Grishneshwar, and Basara
Saraswathi are some of the famous pilgrimage sites to visit in Godavari. Papikonda, Coringa, and
Pocharam Wildlife Santuaries in the basin houses a wide range of wildilfe. Temples and monasteries
at Ellora caves, excavated out of the vertical face of an escarpment, are 26 km north of Aurangabad.
Extending in a linear arrangement, the 34 caves contain Buddhist Chaityas or halls of worship, and
Viharas, or monasteries, Hindu and Jain temples. Papi Kondalu Hills is a lovely place and the
beautiful scenery of Papi Hills, the waterfalls at Munivaatam, and the peaceful atmosphere at this
tribal area give a pleasant look and peace to visitors, making it a special attraction for tourists. Rajiv
Gandhi Beach is in Puducherry. Spatial distribution of these tourism sites has been shown in Map 24.
Manikgarh Fort, Pauni Fort, and Deogiri Fort are the three forts falling in the basin. Tourism Sites
detailed information is provide in Annexure VII. Table 13 depicts the categorization of these sites.

10. Conclusion
In India, investments in the water sector have primarily focused on irrigation projects with the aim
to expand the area under irrigated agriculture and increase the food production. Other sectors also
experience growing needs, such as drinking water supply, process-water to the industry, water for
hydropower production, water to secure navigation and for recreational services. There are also
inherent dependencies between some of the water uses, exemplified by the fact that the majority of
irrigation projects in India have provisions for generation of power. The availability of water is to a
large extent dependent on climatological and hydrological characteristics, and the water resources
in India are not evenly distributed in time and space. One part of the country might experience
floods and water logging problems, while other parts might need to cope with droughts and scarcity
at the same time. In periods when the need for water is larger than the supply, practical tools to
assist in the allocation of water between competing sectors can be useful.
The Godavari and its tributaries are an inter-state river system. This river receives several tributaries
on both the banks, out of which the main tributaries are the Pravara, the Purna, the Manjra, the
Pranhita, the Indravati and the Kolab. It falls in five Agro-Climatic Zone shown in map, viz., Central
Plateau and Hills Region, Western Plateau and Hills Region, Eastern Plateau and Hills Region,
Southern Plateau and Hills Region and East Coast Plains and Hills Region. As per the assessment of
LULC (2005-06), major part (49.3%) of the basin is covered with crop land. Deciduous forest area is
about 26.16% and water bodies occupy 2.06% of the total basin area. Black soils, red soils, lateritic
soils, alluvium, mixed soils and saline and alkaline soils are predominant in the basin. Around 32% of
total basin area lies in the elevation zone of 500-750 m. Godavari basin consist of surface water
bodies in the form of lakes, ponds, reservoirs, tanks etc. Tanks are the most predominant with 59293
in number and forms about 96.21% of total water bodies in the basin. 921 Dams and 46
Barrage/Weirs are constructed in the basin. Upper Kolab, Upper Penganga, Upper Wardha, Gosi
Khurd, Sriram Sagar Stage I (Pochampad) and Upper Wainganga are AIBP projects, being executed in
Godavari basin.
There are 18 Flood Forecasting Stations, 67 Telemetry stations, and 88 hydrological observation
stations are there in the Basin. Systematic data is collected with regard to the sediment carried by
the rivers, further can be used in working out dead storage and the life of reservoirs. The sediment
in a canal is a burden to be borne by the flowing water and is, therefore, designated as sediment
load. The sediment may move in water either as bed load or as suspended load. Bed load is that in
which the sediment moves along the bed with occasional jumps into the main river. While the
suspended load is one in which the material is maintained in suspension due to the turbulence of
the water flow. Study of sediments and nature of its deposits on downstream are very important for
preparation of any water supply projects. Sound database on sediments are essential tools for policy
making and planning purposes. The frequency of sediment observation is taken daily during
monsoon season and once in a week during the lean period. Data for non-observed days is
interpolated from the relationship of discharge vs. sediment load prepared on the basis of observed
sediment concentration and weighted mean discharge during the same year. There is significant
sediment load observed at Polavaram and Perur sites of Godavari basin as compared to other sites
of Godavari basin as well as sites of other basins.

Godavari Basin
The Godavari basin has a tropical climate. Annual rainfall of the basin varies from 755 mm to 1531
mm and average annual rainfall of these 35 years (1971-2005) is found to be 1096.92 mm.
Temperature varies from 20 °C to 35 °C in a year which causes lot of monthly variations in the
potential evapotranspiration in the basin. Generally the water bodies in the basin provide water
suitable for irrigation, fisheries and water supply. There are four purposed Inter-basin Transfer links
in the basin. The two major inter-related aspects of basin management in the present context are
allocation of water resources (area-wise and sector-wise) and integrated water resource
management. Government of India (GoI) constituted on 10th, April, 1969 Godavari Water Disputes
Tribunal (GWDT) and Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal separately to adjudicate the river water
utilization disputes among the river basin states of interstate rivers Godavari and Krishna under the
provisions of Interstate River Water Disputes Act – 1956. These agreements also permit to construct
various interstate projects. The GWDT award to settle inter-State dispute has done area-wise
allocation/ apportionment of water for each basin. Below basin level, area-wise allocation for
irrigation and other sectorial uses gets determined administratively through project planning and
design and in view of the priorities set under the State Water Policy. Though the quantity and quality
of water depends upon natural resource management in the basin, water utilization by different
sectors takes place both within and outside the sub-basin.
The average annual potential/average annual runoff is 131 BCM in Godavari river basin. The run off
at terminal site is, however, maximum at Polavaram in Godavari 307.80 BCM. This is a large basin in
area in respect of drainage area. It has 47 historical sites which are maintaining the information on
observations in respect of at least two or more types of data: Gauge/Discharge, Sedimentation and
Water Quality. Tekra is the oldest site in the basin and established on 15.07.1964 for collecting data
on Gauge/ Discharge, Subsequently, the scope has been extended to observe data on sedimentation
and water quality. Among its sites, the maximum water level was observed at Nowrangpur (560.636
m) site on 29.07.1969 during the reference period June 1971 to May 2010. The Polavaram site in the
basin had peak water level of the order of 28.017 m on 16.08.1986, which was the minimum peak
water level as compared to other sites of the basin.
To have an understanding of the flow of water in a basin a measure based on average of water flows
at all the observation sites under the basin over a period of nine to eleven years has been worked
out. The water management in India is primarily the responsibility of the states. The State Water
Policies, alongside the National Water Policy, are the instruments that spell out water management
practices. Policy making, water allocation, operation and maintenance of irrigation canals are carried
out by the respective state governments. The Constitution at the national level provides certain
powers to the Government of India (GOI) in case of trans-boundary river issues wherein tribunals are
set up to resolve inter-state issues in water allocation. GOI also provides technical support to the
states during extreme weather, including droughts as well as floods.
