Hydrology

4.1

General Context
The River Alaknanda, which along with Bhagirathi and other tributaries constitutes river
Ganga, originates in glacial regions of the Himalayas in the extreme northern parts of the
district of Chamoli in Uttaranchal.
The proposed barrage site is situated on the River Alaknanda at Bowala, which is
2
approximately 208 km from Rishikesh. At this site the catchment area is 5,590 km , of which
2
2,740 km is snow bound.
This chapter describes the study of the hydrology of the catchment area and the
methodology adopted for establishing various parameters, which are basic inputs for the
project planning and design. The hydrological analysis has been carried out to assess the
availability of water for power generation by establishing long term discharge data and to
establish design floods for various components of the project.
All hydrological studies have been based primarily on records, data and criteria presented in
the Detailed Project Report-1992 (DPR-1992) and on additional up-to-date available records.
The studies consist principally of:
A review of previous hydrological studies.
Updating the hydrology with recently available data.
Verification of the quality and completeness of meteorological and
hydrometric data.
Generation of a long-term flow series for the Alaknanda River at the intake
site.
Comparison with the results of previous studies
Analysis of design floods by various methods.

4.2

Basin Characteristics
Bowala Nand Prayag Barrage and Intake are located at the River Alaknanda, which is one of
the main tributaries of the River Ganges in the state of Uttaranchal. It originates from the twin
glaciers of Bhagirath Kharak and Satopanth near the holy shrine of Badrinah at an elevation
of about 3750 m a.s.l. Initially it flows in an easterly direction until it is joined by the Saraswati
River at Mana. From Mana the general direction of flow is South South-East to Joshimath
where it is joined by the major tributary of Dhauliganga. From Joshimath the river flows
South West, and then West until it joins the Bhagirathi River at Devprayag to form the
Ganga.
The catchment of River Alaknanda up to the intake site for Bowala Nand Prayag extends
from latitude 30 24N to 31 02N and longitude 79 12E to 80 15E. It is generally
mountainous, and about 50% is snow covered. The highest altitude in the catchment is over
7800 m a.s.l. (the peak of Nanda Devi) and the lowest point near the intake site is at 1025 m.

The area of snow fed catchment has been measured as the area enclosed by the 4,500m
contour. The difference between the previous and present studies is thought to be due to the
more accurate measurement for the present study, which was measured using AutoCAD.
Drawing no WH/BNPP/007 in Volume III of this report shows the catchment area of the

Climate

4.3.1

Temperature
The climate of the area is generally temperate and varies with elevation. It is warm in
summer, humid in monsoon and cool in winter months. The winter months are from
December to March. The summer or pre monsoon months are from April to May. The
monsoon months are from June to September. The post monsoon months are from October
to November. The nearest Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) observatory is at
Joshimath which is approximately 30 km from the Intake Site at an elevation of 1875m. The
lowest temperature at Joshimath of -15 C was recorded in the month of January 1974 and
the highest temperature of 34 C was recorded in the month of June 1978. The mean
monthly maximum and minimum temperatures at Joshimath are shown in Figure 4.1.
Temperatures at the intake site, which is about 850m lower than Joshimath, will be about
5.5 C higher than the temperatures at Joshimath on average.

Precipitation
There are several rain gauge stations established in the upper part of the catchment area,
however, due to the difficulty of access the records from these stations are generally
incomplete, particularly during the winter months. The rain guage at Joshimath provides a
rainfall record from 1958 to 2003 which is more or less complete, and which, due to its
central location in the catchment, gives an indication of the annual rainfall distribution.
The mean annual rainfall in the catchment estimated from isohyetal map of IMD is 1050 mm.
The maximum rainfall is observed in monsoon months. In monsoon months rainfall is due to
south west monsoons which normally strike the Garhwal Himalayas towards the end of June
and withdraws from the region towards the end of September. The precipitation is due to the
passage of depressions and or cyclonic storms from the Bay of Bengal over the region.
These disturbances after originating from the Bay of Bengal move in north west direction,
after reaching west Madhya Pradesh, south Rajasthan move in a north to northeast direction
and strike the Garhwal Himalayas. The winter precipitation in the basin is due to western
disturbances advancing from Afghanistan and West Pakistan.

Source of Runoff
The catchment is fed by both snow and rain. A significant percentage of the runoff is from
snow- and glacier-melt which constitute a potential reservoir. Winter precipitation which
occurs in the form of snow accumulates until early summer. As summer advances, the
accumulation melts to release water in to the stream. Glaciers and permanent snowfields are
located at altitudes above about 4800 m. During winter season the seasonal snowline drops
to a height of about 2000 m.

Evaporation
No records of lake evaporation or pan evaporation are available for the project area.
However, since the project is planned as a run of river scheme, with provision only for daily
storage for peaking, the evaporation losses can be safely neglected.

Availability of Water and Dependable Flows

4.4.1

Available Data
Though no gauge discharge data is available for the barrage site, data from 1971 to 1982 is
available at Chamoli, which is located 5 km downstream of the barrage site. Discharge data
of River Ganga at Raiwala is also available from 1945-46 to 1978-79. At Raiwala the
catchment of River Ganga is 22,936 km2 (out of this 5,988 km2 is snow bound).
Data is also available for the gauging stations at Rudraprayag, downstream of the project
site and at Joshimath, upstream of the project site. The locations of stations and the period
of availability of discharge data for the Alaknanda and the Ganga Rivers is given below.

The DPR of 1992 has used the discharges from 1970-71 to 1981-82 at Chamoli, for
computing the annual run off for the Project. But since the data is for a short period the
record has been extended by transferring discharges from Raiwala.
For this the runoff of ten day period at Chamoli has been compared with the corresponding
runoff at Raiwala, taking into account the time lag.
The stations at Joshimath and Rudraprayag are much closer to Bowala than Raiwala and
are of sufficient duration (36 years and 30 years respectively) to provide a reliable record, so
it is proposed to use the data from these stations to augment the time series at Chamoli.
Discharge data for Joshimath, Chamoli and Rudraprayag is presented in Annexes 4-1, 4-2
and 4-3.
The hydrological parameters for the scheme in the present study are thus estimated directly
from the discharges observed on the Alaknanda River and there is no need to subvent this
material with rainfall or snowmelt observations. These data have been used only to indicate
the wider climatological context of the Project, as reported above, and for checking the
consistency of the discharge data by rainfall-runoff relationship.

Data analyses
Hydrological time series may exhibit trends referred to as inconsistencies or nonhomogeneities. Inconsistencies result from changes in the amount of systematic errors
married with recording of data, such as those arising from changes in instrumentation or
observational practices. Non-homogeneity of the data is defined as the change in statistics of
the data set which are caused by natural or man-made changes like change in landuse,
water use and climatic change.
The quality and quantity of the data for the station Joshimath are controlled and assured in
data analysis. It refers to the internal and external pre-processing of data. The external is
checked and verified from the double mass curve analysis where as, internally the data itself
is analysed by conducting the tests as described in the following sub-sections. In toto, 33
years of annual flood data are available for analysis.

4.5.1

Test for randomness


A random series is the one in which the value of the next discrete value is unknown. There
are number of statistical tests to check the randomness of the data series i.e. turning point
test, difference sign test, Run test, Serial rank Correlation test .etc. The Turning Point Test is
applied to check the randomness of the series at 5% significance level. The number of
turning points is the total number of crest or trough in the sample of peak annual flood
values.
Qt is the turning point and is defined in the form,
Qt is crest when

Qt-1 < Qt > Qt +1

Qt is trough when Qt -1 > Qt < Qt +1


The randomness of data is determined by the normal variate of the data and is given by,

where,

is the total number of crests and troughs.

=
is the mean such that

2
(N 2)
3
and N is the sample size

is the standard deviation of the sample.

If < 1.9, the series is random at 5% significant level. The computations for the same have
been tabulated and results are depicted in Annex - 4-4
4.5.2

Test for trend: Spearmans rank correlation method


The presence or absence of trend is determined by using Spearmans rank correlation

method. The co-efficient is denoted by .The 33 years of peak annual flood data are
converted to ranks before computing the coefficient and then, the data is sorted in
descending order ranking the highest value as one. The differeneces Di between the ranks
of each observation on the two variables are calculated and. The Spearmans rank
correlation coefficient ,

is expressed as,

Where n represents the number of observations in both the equation. The test variable t has

The critical region with a 5% signifacnce level in the Students t- distribution is expressed as,

{ , t ( , 2.5%)}U {t ( , 97.5%), + }
Therefore, the data has no trend if

t ( , 2.5%) < t < t ( , 97.5%)


In the current study, the method is applied for the data of Joshimath duly transposed to BNP
site and no trend is found in the peak annual flood data. The results of the same have been
tabulated in Annex-4-5
4.5.3

Test for outliers


Outliers are the observations that deviate significantly from the remaining data points of the
sample set. The test for ouliers holds a stand while assessing the retention, modification and
deletion of these outliers because any such treatment would affect the statistical parameters
of the data.
The skewness, Sk of the annual peak flood of BNP set rules to check the outliers
categorizing them into high outliers and low outliers and the following expressions define the
limits of skewness that is applicable for the data set.
If Sk < -0.4 then, check for Low outliers first
If Sk > +0.4 then, check for High outliers first
If -0.4< Sk <+0.4 then, check for High outliers first
The threshold values of the outliers are governed by the following equations:
Low outlier threshold

= exp[ Rp(log)Avg - Kn * Rp(log) ]

High outlier threshold = exp[ Rp(log)Avg +Kn * Rp(log) ]


where, Rp(log)Avg is the mean of log transformed annual peak flood.
Rp(log) is standard deviation of Rp(log) series
n is the number of years
Kn is the outlier test values for 10% significance level for a Normal distribution

Test for stability of variance: F-test


F-test is taken to assess the stability of variance in which the same sample of data is split up
into two different series randomly chosen without affecting the order of the data set.
However, in the current study the bar chart showing the peak annual rainfall series is
indicative of peaks to be considered in the first series or the second one. The first and
second subsets are termed as X1 and X2.
The variances of each of the two series are represented as

s12 and s 22 .

The test statistics is given by,

s12
Ft = 2
s2
The investigation of the data series of BNP results in differences in the variance and
therefore, a confidence limit for stability of the variance using Fisher F distribution is also
observed and found that the test statistics are confined to the domain which is essentially
based on the degree of freedom of each data series.
From the Fisher-F distribution, the critical region with 5% significance level is set as,

{0,

F ( 1 , 2 , 2.5%)}U

{ F ( 1 , 2 , 97.5%), }

where, 1 and 2 are the respective numbers of degrees of freedom of the numerator and
the denominator.

1 = n1 1 and 2 = n 2 1
where,

n1 and n 2 are the numbers of observation in each sub-set.

The results of the F-test for all the abovementioned three stations have been computed and
are shown in Annex-4-6 which also includes the result of t-test described below.
4.5.5

Test for stability of mean: t-test


The same parted series investigated on F-test is subjected to the test for stability of the
mean and is widely known as t-Test. This test is based on null hypothesis that when the two
data series aforesaid are normally distributed then, the difference between the mean values
of the two series is equal to zero. Assuming this to be true the test statistic has a Students t
distribution.
The subsets X1 and X2 used in the F-test are tested for stability of mean.
Taking

From the above statistics, the stability is inferred and the results of test for all the three
stations are included in Annex- 4-7
4.5.6

Consistency Check.
This examines the mean 10-daily discharge time series at Joshimath, Chamoli and
Rudraprag and has the objective of assessing data quality and therefore the confidence that
can be attached to the results, particularly with respect to the assurance of the flows
available for diversion. These time-series are initially examined to ensure that they are
statistically stationary, that is that they contain no systematic trends or inconsistencies over
the period of record, which would otherwise lead to bias and potential inaccuracies in the
results of interest. The consistency check has been carried out using both internal checks
(runoff-runoff relationships by regression analysis and double mass curve methods) and
external checks (rainfall-runoff relationship).
a) Regression Analysis
This test has been performed by simple regression analysis of the data from different
stations over the common period of record. Both linear and non-linear regression methods
were explored and the best-fit curves gave the following result:

Details of this analysis are given in Annex 4-8. These coefficients of correlation show that the
data from the three stations have a satisfactory degree of consistency.
b) Double Mass Curve
The double mass curves for Joshimath v Chamoli v Joshimath and Joshimath v Rudraprayag
have been prepared. The calculations are appended in Annex 4- 4 of this report. From the
trend of the double mass curves it can be concluded that the data from the three stations is
generally consistent, although the year 1998-99 shows an anomaly between the stations at
Joshimath and Rudraprayag.
c) Rainfall-Runoff

4-8

300MW Bowala Nand Prayag Hydro Electric Project


Detailed Project Report

The calculations are appended in Annex 4-4 of this report. The runoff from the snow fed
catchment has been calculated using the method described in Ref [1]. This figure is
deducted from the total runoff calculated from the gauge & discharge data to give the runoff
from the rainfed area, which is then compared with the mean annual rainfall at Joshimath
with the following result:
Mean Annual Runoff at Joshimath (rain fed catchment) = 1120mm
Mean Annual Rainfall at Joshimath

= 1160mm

This shows that the discharges measured at Joshimath are consistent with the rainfall and
may be used for further analysis
With the consistency of the gauge and discharge data established, the next step is to
augment the discharge data for Chamoli by estimating the flows from 1982 to 2002 using the
data at the Rudraprag and Joshimath stations.

4.5.7

Procedures used to extend the daily flows observed at Chamoli using data at the Joshimath
gauge upstream.
Three methods of extending the discharge series at Chamoli have been considered:
a) Catchment Area Ratio
The discharges at Bowala intake site were calculated by factoring the discharges at
Joshimath by the Catchment Area Ratio (5590/4672 = 1.196). The results are presented in
Annex 4-6 of this report.
b) Seasonal Non-Linear Regression Analysis
The discharge series at Chamoli was extended using data from Joshimath by means of a
non-linear regression analysis on a seasonal basis. The calculations are presented in Annex
4-5 of this report.
c) Method of Matching Flow-Duration Curves (FDC Method)
Hughes and Smatkhin. (1996) (see Reference [2]) have shown that rather than use
regression analysis directly to estimate the target flows, there are very significant statistical
advantages to matching the flow duration curves. The reasons for this are:

the regression model smoothes the distribution of the estimated flows


(unless the error term is included);

the relationship between flows at 2 sites is rarely linear, as is assumed


in simple regression;

the use of the flow duration curves overcomes the non-linear issue and
exploits a knowledge of the probability distribution of the flows at the 2
sites (which is what the FDCs are).

The flow records available at the two sites are as below, the target being the data to be
treated and the control the data means for doing so. In this case the objective is to extend
the target time series at Chamoli for the period after September 1982 (when observations at
Chamoli stopped) using the data from Joshimath.

Target Site:

Chamoli.

1971 1982

Between 1971 and 1982 (the common observation period) 408 paired 10-daily observations
at the two sites are available. For the present application and given the available common
sample size at the two sites (408), the FDCs were computed using every set of paired data
(i.e. giving 408 ordinates at intervals of 0. 25%)
The procedure is illustrated below in Figure 4-3. Given (for example) a mean 10-daily flow of
600 m3/s at the control station, this has an exceedance probability of 21%. The flow with the
same exceedance probability at the target station is 369 m3/s. Where discharge values in the
extended time series at the control site lie between points on the FDC for the common period
the values at the target site are obtained by linear interpolation between the adjacent points.
Where discharge values are greater than the maximum value of the FDC for the common
period values at the target site are obtained by extrapolation using the average ratio between
the two staions.

Proceeding in this way the missing period of data at the target site (in this case post-1982)
can be estimated.
This method overcomes the non-linear aspects and data smoothing that are usually the
inevitable consequences of simple regression analysis.
Thus there is no fixed ratio between flows at the 2 locations across the whole flow range
thus reflecting reality. Instead the ratio varies as a function of the mutual distribution of flows
in terms of the FDCs. This approach is simple and statistically efficient and accurate.

4-10

300MW Bowala Nand Prayag Hydro Electric Project


Detailed Project Report

As a diagnostic check, however, the mean ratio of the flows between the 2 sites should
remain the same over the common and treatment periods, unless one was wetter (drier) than
the other. Here:
1978-1982 (common observations = 408):

ratio target / control = 1.19

1982-2002 (estimated observations = 708):

ratio target / control = 1.20

The long term flow duration curve at Chamoli (from 1971 to 2002) generated in this way,
using data from Joshimath, is compared with the corresponding data derived using data from
Rudraprayag (from 1978 to 2002) in Figure 4-4, below:

It can be seen that the differences between two Flow-Duration Curves are small. In view of
the relatively short period of common record between Rudraprayag and Chamoli the values
derived from Joshimath are considered to be more reliable.
4.5.8

Comparison of Different Methods for Estimating Discharges at the Intake Site


The discharges at the intake calculated by the above methods are compared in Figure 4.5
below. The coefficient of correlation for the regression analysis was found to be lower than
for the other methods so the results from the regression analysis were discarded. The results
from FDC method compared well with those based on catchment area ratio, however when
the results are compared in chronological order the values for the same period were found to
vary considerably.
In view of this, and because the catchment at Joshimath is 84% of the catchment at Bowala
intake, it is proposed to adopt the discharges determined by catchment area ratio for the
discharge series at the intake site. The estimated 10-daily timeseries at the Intake Site are
presented in Annex 4-6.

Determination of 50% and 90% Dependable Years


The estimated discharges at the Barrage Site are ranked in descending order according to
the total annual discharge and the exceedance probability for each year is calculated using
Weibulls formula.
The 50% and 90% dependable years are found to be 1983-84 and 1971-72.
The resulting values are presented in Annex 4-7 and Figure 4-6.

Comparison with Previous Studies


The discharges at the barrage site estimated by the above procedure are expressed as a
long-term flow-duration curve for comparison with the corresponding data that was presented
in the 1992 DPR in Figure 4-7, below.
It can be seen that, although the two curves generally lie close together the discharges
estimated using the latest data from Joshimath are lower than those from the 1992 DPR
during the lean season, but higher during the monsoon season. The most significant
difference is in the values for 90% dependable discharge, which is 35m3/s in the present
analysis, compared with 41m3/s in the 1992 DPR.

Flood Risk Analysis

4.6.1

General Issues
It is inevitably difficult to compute floods of such magnitude as those of the Ganga tributaries
with accuracy, and uncertainties over historic flood peaks cannot be avoided. Factors that
complicate a full understanding of the flood characteristics of the basin include the fact that
large areas of the upper basin are snow-bound, at high elevations the terrain is excluded
from normal cloud ranges, and there are many man-made influences on floods, such as
major dams or diversions. Each catchment tends to be individual and not closely similar to
another.
Several approaches can be used to estimate floods of different return periods. These
include:

4.6.2

Flood Frequency Analysis

Unit Hydrograph Method

Empirical Formula

Hydrological Data
The observed peak annual discharges for a number of sites in the region have been made
available and these are given Annex 4-8. The sites for which data is available include
Joshimath, Rudraprayag and Raiwala on the Alaknanda and Ganga rivers.
Daily rainfall records are available for Joshimath and Badrinath stations both of which lie
within the catchment area.

4.6.3

Flood Frequency Analysis


The peak annual flood data for a record of 33 years are transposed to BNP on the basis of
catchment area ratio raising it to a power of 0.75. In order to obtain the instantaneous flood
peaks, the observed flood peaks are increased by 30%. The flood frequency analysis is
conducted by applying, analysis of extremes for annual series (Gumbel type-I and Log
Pearson type III) and analysis of exceedances for partial duration series)

The return period, T is the reciprocal of probability of exceedance. The reduced variate y is
calculated as,

y = [ (ln ln(1 p )]

The computations for XT have been shown for each station in Annexure 4-9 which also

b) Log-Pearson type-III

deviation and coefficient of skew. These parameters are determined from the logs of 33
years annual peak flood of BNP.
The aforesaid parameters are derived as,

Using these three parameters, the magnitude of the flood of the desired frequency can be
determined from the equation,

yT = y m + K T * y
yT = log Q = the logarithm of the flood magnitude.

K T = a frequency factor for a particular return period and coefficient of skew


If the skew of the sample data happens to be equal to zero, the plot of the log-Pearson fit to
the data will be a straight line.
If the skew is negative the plot will be a curve with a downward concavity.
If the skew is positive, the plot will be a curve with upward concavity.
The resulting skew from the analysis is found to be negative and the the characteristics of
the curve conforms to downward concavity. The results are shown below :

Analysis of exceedances

The analysis of exceedance is based on the assumption of thereshold value selected from
the full series of data in such a way that the number of values above the threshold equals the
number of years of data. The flood value referring to this exceedance is termed as, Xexc.
The relationship between the above two methods is shown by Langbein (Chow, 1964) and

4.6.4

Unit Hydrograph Approach


The unit hydrograph approach is dependent on rainfall uniformly covering the catchment
area, and the area for which this is applicable is normally constrained by this consideration.
Areal rainfall during the Indian monsoon can be widespread and can be fairly uniform over
quite large areas. However, where there are large variations in elevation such as in mountain
areas, rainfall will inevitably vary because of orographic effects at different elevations. In this
case, the snow-bound upper catchment adds to the mountain complication when considering
the use of a unit hydrograph approach.
For the synthetic unit hydrograph, hydrometeorological approach is adopted for developing a
regional method for estimating design flood for small and medium catchments in various
hydrometeorologically homogenous sub-zones. In this approach, the effective rainfall is the
input derived from design storm and then it is applied to the unit hydrograph as a transfer
function to obtain the design flood as output.
Well-researched estimates of storm rainfall intensities for critical durations are needed for the
unit hydrograph approach, and these are likely to be available for much of India. However,
catchment storm loss rates are usually difficult to determine without onerous analysis of a
good network of raingauges together with a lengthy and accurate flood record at the site of
interest. Cumulative uncertainties in storm cell characteristics, catchment losses and prestorm catchment state all add to overall limitations in the confidence with which this approach
can be used to derive standard return period floods. In recognition of this fact, flood
hydrographs in countries such as the UK use flood peak frequency analysis to scale back
UH-derived design flood hydrographs.
The synthetic unit hydrograph in the present study is a unit hydrograph of unit duration for
the studied catchment of Alaknanda. The analysis to obtain the synthetic unit hydrograph is
described in three phases below:

This implies the longest length of the main river from the farthest. watershed boundary of the
catchment area to the gauging site. The centre of gravity of the catchment is found out by
graphical method for closed polygon. The stream may or may not pass through the centre of
gravity but the nearest point to the centre of gravity is considered to find the length of the
main river from the centre of gravity to the point of study (Lc).
Equivalent Stream Slope (S):
One of the physiographical parameters is slope. The slope may be equivalent slope or
statistical slope. In this report equivalent stream slope has been used for developing SUG
relations.
The L section is broadly divided into segments representing broad ranges of the slopes of
the segments. Following formula is used to compute equivalent slope (S).

Figure 4-9 below.
b) Derivation of 1-hour Unit hydrograph
The empirical relation for unit hydrograph derivation is referred from [4] and the same
formulae are listed below:

The 1-hour unit graph is obtained from the above parameters and is convoluted to obtain the
flood peaks and total flood for various return periods applying the storm depth corresponding
to the return period. The 50 and 100 years 24 hours rainfall depths are adopted from Flood
estimation report, Zone-7, CWC.

The design storm study of Vishnugad Pipalkoti H.E. project was carried out by Indian
Meteorological Department, New Delhi and SPS hyetograph maps for 1-day, 2-day and 3day SPS have been depicted in the report. In the present study, since the base perios of unit
hydrograph is less than 24-hours, the 1-Day SPS value is referred from the report .The

catchment area is superimposed over the catchment drawn for Vishnugad Pipalkoti H E
Project and 1-day SPS value is estimated as 15.6 cm and the same is adopted for computing
SPF.
The moisture adjustment factor, MAF for the zone is estimated as 1.57 by IMD for Vishnugad
Pipalkoti H.E. project and the same value is adopted for BNP to estimte the PMP.The
adopted value of PMP is 24.5 cm

As recommended in the CWC report, the design loss has been adopted as 0.5 cm/hr.The
base flow and snowmelt contribution are adopted @ 0.05 Cumec/SqKm (rainfed area).As a
result, the base flow estimated is 143 cumecs and 180 cumec is the considered snowmelt
contribution added to the base flow to compute the total flood.

c) Estimation of flood.
The effective rainfall for design storm duration is to be applied to the unit hydrograph of a
catchment to obtain the design flood of required return period. The procedure for computing
design flood peak and design flood hydrograph for T year returns period by synthetic unit
hydrograph approach is as under :
d) Computation of design flood peak
Flood peaks of 50 and 100 years return period have been computed with a prior analysis of
24 hours rainfall for the corresponding return periods duly obtained from the isopluvial lines
as given in Plate-9 and Plate-10 for 50 and 100 years respectively. Detailed steps for flood
peak estimation are followed using [4]. The SPF and PMF hydrographs are generated using
SPS and PMP respectively. The PMP values are referred from 1-day PMP atlas, IMD, 1988
and the SPS is obtained using the moisture adjustment factor value for the zone reported in
PMP atlas IMD,1988.
The computation of flood by Synthetic Unit Hydrograph equation is attached in Annex 4-10.
4.6.5

Probable Maximum Flood (PMF)


For a catchment of nearly 5,600 km2, design floods of PMF level are best derived from the
enveloping curve of the world maximum observed floods. The latest version of this
publication is World catalogue of Maximum Observed Floods, compiled for IASH by Reg
Herschy in 2003 (Ref [2]). It shows that the enveloping world maximum curve, which is
clearly heavily influenced by Indian historic floods, has the simplified formula of:
0.43

Q = 500A
m /s, where A is the catchment area in km , and this has the Francou index, k,
of approximately 6.
For the 2,850 km2 rain-fed catchment area at Bowala Nand Prayag, this formula results in a
PMF of 15,300 m3/s.
The PMF is also estimated from the PMP storm in Annex 4-10 by synthetic unit hydrograph
3
method. This estimate gives a figure of 17,400 m /s which corresponds reasonably well with
the value above derived from the enveloping curve.

Given the relatively short length of record for annual flood peaks it is considered that the
flood peaks estimated by flood frequency analysis are not reliable and it is proposed to adopt
the more conservative values for flood peaks given by the unit hydrograph method for the
design of Bowala Nand Prayag HEP. This gives the following values, as compared with the
values proposed in the 1992 DPR:

Design Discharge

4.7.1

Design Discharge for Barrage


According to the CWC Manual on Estimation of Design Flood, for weirs and barrages, which
are diversion structures having small storage capacities, the risk of loss of life and property
down stream would rarely be increased by failure of the structure. Apart from the damage to
the structure itself the failure would cause disruption of water supply to the power station.
Existing practice for design of barrages and weirs is based on BIS Code, IS 6966 (Part I),
1989: Hydraulic Design of Barrages and Weirs. For purposes of design of items other, than
free board, a design flood of 50- year frequency may normally suffice. In such cases where
risks and hazards are involved, a review of this criteria based on site conditions may be
necessary.
For deciding the free board, a minimum of 500-year frequency flood or the standard project
flood (SPF) may be desirable.
In the case of Bowala Nand Prayag the SPF has the same magnitude as the 500-year flood
and accordingly it is proposed to adopt the 500-year flood for determining the dimensions,
3
and hence the freeboard, of the barrage. This flood has a magnitude of 10,630m /s.

4.7.2

Design Discharge for Diversion Works


For construction of the Barrage and Intake structure a working season from 1 October to 31
May is assumed. Over this period, average monthly river flows typically lie in the range 30
3
150 m /s. Monthly peak discharges at Chamoli for the months of October through March for
the years 1971 to 1981 are available and these have been used in a flood frequency analysis
to determine floods of various return periods during the working season. The results are
given in below

Sediment Studies

4.8.1

Available Data
Daily records of suspended sediment have been obtained from the G&D station at
Rudraprayag on Alaknanda River from June 1994 to May 1998 and from the G&D station at
Nand Prayag on Alaknanda River from March 2007 to May 2008.

4.8.2

Sediment Concentrations
The annual variation in the concentration of suspended sediment is presented in Figure 4-10
and the variation in the concentration of suspended sediment as a function of the river flow is
given in Figure 4-11. The amount of suspended sediment is dependent on a number of
factors including the rate of erosion in the catchment area, landslips which can deposit large
volumes of material into the river channel and human activities. Consequently the amount of
suspended sediment is highly variable.

4.8.3

Petrographic Analysis
Petrographic analyses of samples of suspended sediments have been carried out by GSI
Laboratory in Faridabad giving the following composition:

Due to the high quartz content the sediments in the Alaknanda River will be highly abrasive,
so it is important that the desilting basins operate effectively to remove suspended
sediments. Consideration should also be given to applying a protective coating to the turbine
runners when the specifications are prepared.

The rainfall values from the isohyets in inches show that the storms are predominatly towards SW and EW directions
BNP intake lies in a region with the rainfall growth factor of 1.11 - 1.48. However, an eastward storm is indicative of low increment of rainfall.
Hence, a 2.5 % increment in growth factor corresponding to 6 inch rainfall i.e., (1.11+2.5%*1.13=1.13) is suitably adopted for BNP intake as it is in the proximity of 6 inch rainfall
and significantly, any further increment would not preserve the average rainfall.
The rainfall corresponding to the 1.33 growth factor is 6.14 inch = 15.61 cm and it is adopted as SPS for BNP intake.
