Description 1364-1369
Barrage
is to utilize the fresh water on the u/s side of barrage and also to prevent
the mixing of saline water during non-monsoon by fully closing the gates.
During the monsoon season, the salinity of the water in Valvanta River
becomes very low of about less than 5 ppt due to the predominant effect of
River discharges. These types of studies are very vital for the water
harnessing projects particularly on Western Ghats
where the short estuaries drain into the sea without the water being utilized
much. In the present study, is an attempt to predict the changes in the
hydrodynamic conditions in the downstream side of barrage at Virdi by using the
1-D model HEC – RAS for different operational and tidal conditions.
